Imagined some sort of alternative way on how Solid Snake's final days went? If you can't picture it quite all too clearly, not to worry. TheFineBros on YouTube got that covered for you.

Titan Studios is currently looking for beta testers to help them get some precious feedback for Fat Princess. Of course, they gotta know first if you're really into the concept, so they need you to make like the Fat Princess and show yourselves eating her majesty's favorite dessert - cake!

Beautiful Friday night, and here's a little something-something for the couch-ridden gamer. This week's video content update features an interesting mix of movies. Whether it's drooling over Wonder Woman, or a diving Jessica Alba in Into the Blue, or you could relive the childhood rage you had over Tommy Gunn's ungrateful ass in Rocky V. Complete list is inside.

"Homelings". That's what Locust_Star, PlaySation Home Online Community Specialist, called us. But fascinating as that may be (although I would have preferred "Homer"), it's not the news we'll be focusing on in this post, but rather, the Weekly happenings on PlayStation Home, ma'homie. Okay, okay, I'll cut it out now. Let's get to business and learn about Warhawk's housewarming party and Street Fighter IV's (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) virtual unlockables.

The Simpsons (Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Sony PSP, and the Nintendo DS) video game has been out for weeks now and it's been giving quite a kick to series fans and gamers alike. Even if this Electronic Arts title has been out for a bit now, the festivities haven't stopped yet as footages of The Simpsons game launch party have surfaced. This time, we're seeing The Simpsons creator Matt Groening talking about the game and how he was able to influence it.

What's the Big Deal with GameStop's deals this week? It's the Simpsons Game which will be available by the end of the month. The price cut for the Sony PlayStation 3's 80 GB console is also spotlighted this week, plus a couple of discounted games for the Xbox 360, the PS3, and the PC.

This week's promo is a free Homerball when you reserve the Simpsons Game (PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PSP, DS). The Homerball is a little toy doll of Homer. If you recall, getting as fat and round as a watermelon is one of Homer's powers in the game. Also this week is MotorStorm, bundled with the 80 GB console.

Discounts this week are WarTech: Senko No Ronde (US$ 9.99), Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom (US$ 19.99) and Vanguard: Saga of Heroes (US$ 49.99). The 20% trade-in credit for reserving Super Mario Galaxy is still in effect, and probably will be until the game is finally released next month on November 12.

Forget donuts, guys - it looks Homer's got a similar thing going for chocolate. At least, that's the notion we're getting from this new The Simpsons Game (PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PSP, DS) trailer that's been recently put into circulation. And as you can guess, this particular level takes its cue from Homer's daydream in the Land of Chocolate in the TV series.

The difference with this retake is that it's partly done in the game's cell-shaded graphics, and that you'll get to play as Homer come the game's release, . Expect Electronic Art's The Simpsons Game to arrive in North America this October 30, with its European port hitting by November 1.

Staying true to their irreverent and satirical nature, Electronic Arts' The Simpsons Game (Xbox 360, PS2, PS3, PSP, Nintendo Wii, and DS) comes up with even more funny video game spoofs in a movie trailer-like video featuring America's favorite yellow-skinned family. This time Homer, Marge and Maggie find themselves in the magical world of Neverquest, a massively multiplayer mockery of many fantasy-based games.

Right off the bat, you'll see that this part of the game includes a myriad of tributes spoofs to titles as The Lord of the Rings series, the Gauntlet platformer and, of course, the Everquest MMORPG. Homer takes the role as the token fighter of the game, while Marge plays the proverbial mage of the party (or in her own words: "I'm like Gandalf, but sexy"). Suffice to say the video captures the essence of everything that marks the series as a certified Simpsons classic.

We don't want to give too much away since the video itself is just a priceless piece of Simpsons art. Anyway, everyone can expect The Simpsons Game when it ships onto every platform this October 30. In the meantime, enjoy the video!
