Quick explanation first so that everybody starts out on the same page. When we say that a game has "gone gold," all that means is that it's now finalized and is ready to be manufactured into the game copies we see at retail. It has nothing to do with how many copies the game has sold. Now that that's out of the way, let's get on to the news. Natsume has announced that Afrika has gone gold.

Not the best video content update we've seen on the PlayStation Network, but this batch does have a few aces up its sleeve. For one, the movie adaptation of the 1997 Arthur Golden novel, Memoirs of a Geisha is in the mix. If you're looking for a tougher Asian hottie, then The Legend of Chun Li might fit the bill nicely. And with Ice Age 3 now showing, there's a few shorts and a trailer here to tide you over just in case you haven't gone to see it yet.

So what's new on this week's Playstation Network video content update? Now that E3 is over, this weeks update is inspired by video games featuring movies and TV shows that was released first as a video game and now has come to life in the big and small screens.

The release of Resident Evil 5 is looming, but the issue of the game being racist has yet to die down.

Always good to have a professional third-party opinion.

Two new Resident Evil 5 vids! These clips follow this whole mysterious viral campaign from Capcom. It's got the cryptic "They're in Kijuju" message, plus a look into a live-action Chris Redfield freaking out in the middle of a speech. Weird weird weird. It reminds me of the Resistance 2 viral ad campaign with Katie Sackoff. Here's hoping things eventually get explained.

They're not all about killing animals and finding out why planes go down - National Geographic announces the formation of NGG: National Geographic Games.  Their mission: to bring the NatGeo experience into gaming. Find out more.

Downloading torrents is one thing, but attacking merchant ships with guns at the ready and stealing their goods is quite another. I'm talking real maritime pirates here.

Attacks from pirates off Somalia have been increasing recently, which might force merchant ships to take different trade routes. This could potentially cause shipments of various goods, including video game hardware and software, to get seriously messed up.

Guess who's back for another round in the Resident Evil franchise? For the third time now, Chris Redfield is going to be bumping into a very familiar face in Africa. Famitsu details other characters confirmed to appear in Resident Evil 5: one of them is Mr. Sunglasses here (the man usually quoted for his adamant insistence in not opening mansion doors), and the other, a new corporate baddie to strike fear on her enemies care of a scanty dress and a tight bun... like, hair bun, of course.
