If you're one of those folks still praying for that time when Splinter Cell: Conviction heads to the PS3 even if it's a "true Microsoft exclusive", then fret not and heed the words of Ubisoft Montreal CEO, Yannis Mallat. According to him, "There is always hope."

Good ol' Toys R Us. Still coming up of ways to make the boys go back for more toys. For PS3 and Xbox 360 owners, you get to buy one Platinum or Greatest Hits title and get half off on a second. Cool beans. Check the lists after the jump.

A sequel for last year's Tom Clancy's EndWar (PC, PS3, PSP, DS, Xbox 360) is apparently already being developed by the same studio who made the original. This time, the dev team will be focusing on the single-player campaign along with tweaking the combat chain. More from de Plater after the jump.

Starting today, July 8th, all the way until August 2nd, take a few minutes to browse through GameStop and you're gonna find thousands of games, both new and used, all at US$ 20 or less. Talk about a huge sale.

You know what comes next after the European PS Store Update, yes? That's right, it's the US PS Store Update for the week of July 2, 2009. And it's a hefty one to serve you fine too, in time for the 4th of July weekend. So in case you're feeling a little lethargic to join in on the festivities, at least you'll have something else to do to keep you busy. Among those stashed in this week's goodie bag are add-on packs for MotorStorm Pacific Rift, Cross Edge, the Capcom Classics Collection Remixed for the PSP Store and more. Full list after the jump.

Mark this day, folks, because this is the day Metal Gear Solid officially sets its virtual foot onto the PSOne Classics service. At US$ 10, it's a steal if you just wanna play it. I've seen brand new boxed copies of this game being sold for almost US$ 200. No kidding. Also included in this update are a bunch of new Rock Band and Guitar Hero World Tour tracks. I have a softer spot for the former's picks, though, since it includes Spinal Tap songs. Gotta watch that movie again. It never gets old. Crank that dial up to 11 and check out the full list of new Store items after the jump.

If these new ESRB listings prove to be correct, we may be seeing Solid Snake again on the PS3. It won't be Old Snake, though, but Metal Gear Solid-era Snake, and he'll even be bringing along pre-steroids Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine from before she had a dye job.

Of note this week in Europe's PSN update are a handful of downloadable PSP games: LocoRoco and SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 2 being half of that list. The usual PS3 games get DLC packs again, but if you guys want to give Savage Moon a spin, there's a trial version available.

Ubisoft has announced another batch of DLC for Tom Clancy's HAWX. Players will be getting five new planes as downloadable content tomorrow.

Big day today for aspiring LittleBigPlanet creators. There's a new free pack containing some creation tutorials on the US PlayStation Store. Should be useful for those who want to learn more about creating their own stages in LittleBigPlanet. The PSP version of the PlayStation Store still continues to be sparse, but at least there's a new downloadable game there in the form of Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters. A full list is available after the jump.
