The Chimera has invaded the PlayStation Home! Like, right now. The Resistance Space in Home is now open, and it brings along with it a recreation of the Chicago Railway Station level from Resistance 2. But it's not all homey-like as you have a challenge to complete.

Comic issue #2 for Resistance 2 is out, and we're sure you'd want to have a look at the continuation of the story on the world's struggle against the Chimera. We're lucky too, cos we have here the preview artworks that'll sure have you guys drooling. Hopefully not on the comic pages itself, lest you ruin the print.

Head for the hills! The Chimera are attacking North America! ...Umm, wait, what? Chimera, where? False alarm, my foot. Well, I'm sure a bunch of folks in Dublin must have freaked when they read the headlines of their morning paper today. Check out the full article to see scans of the four full-page ads for Resistance 2 published in Dublin.

Good news, mate! Readers of the Official PlayStation mag in Australia get their hands on Resistance 2 downloadable content. It's exclusive, so only chaps from Australia are getting it - best part, it's free. So all those frustrating days of not finding new stuff to read on the magazine found a reprieve, a downloadable reprieve at that.

Get into the Thanksgiving spirit in LittleBigPlanet! Stuff a turkey with a sackboy! Kidding. Kinda. Media Molecule will be offering free Turkey Heads for your sackboys in today's PS Store update.

Also coming to the store is a Resistance 2 Chimera costume! Chimeras never looked this cute. Really.

Can't get enough of Sackboy's threads? There's one more coming out tomorrow, apart from the TV-head and LocoRoco outfits that we already know about. Details in the full article.

November 4. Keep that date in mind if you want to be one of the first to get a copy of Resistance 2. With their legion of Chimeras, Insomniac Games will be invading the the PlayStation Store in San Francisco's Metreon for their midnight launch event.

Details after the link.

Ah, Berserks. In case you're wondering, Berserks are kind of like Resistance 2's version of perks. You get these awesome rewards by completing objectives in competitive multiplayer matches, and the more you play the more you stand to gain. Learn more about these upgrades in the full article.

It's not really a morbid question, it's more like question we thought stupid to ask. Well, take a look at this game-cliché and see if we can find out where the corpses go. What happens to bad guys after we shoot, decapitate, dismember, or blow them into oblivion (the poor bastards)?

In the gamer's universe, corpses go "poof" and basically vanish into thin air. It's been happening since time immemorial that it's easily explained by: "Because it's a game." Therefore, it's a game-ism or a game-cliché much like the omnipresent crates and barrels.

The main reason for this is that the older consoles could only support a number of sprites or polygons at a given time. If they let the dead bodies lie around, they would sacrifice some objects that are more essential to gameplay.

The systems evolved and so did some of the rules. Devs have learned something called dead-body management (can't help thinking of it as a euphemism for an undertaker). In some games, the corpses would disappear when you're not looking (smart eh?) while the others, specifically Splinter Cell and MGS, allowed players to actually move the cadavers around.

With the power of next-gen, the devs are spreading their wings. In Resistance: Fall of Man, zapped Chimera corpses lie where you killed them. The next question maybe - what do you do with all the dead bodies? Or what's the point of having the cadavers litter the game world?

Since it can be done? Or for Realism?

CodeRed submits to us this picture of something weird he found while playing Resistance: Fall of Man multiplayer - and by weird he didn't mean the Chimera. He says he found this floating head right before "being blown to smithereens." (Nice timing then, getting this picture before suffering a corporeal wrath). When he came back to this spot during the next round, it was gone. He did mention something about that head being there for about fifteen minutes.

Perhaps a Chimeran mutation that wasn't ready to be introduced to the battlefield? It could be a glitch, though this is the first time we've heard this report (Hey CodeRed, if you're reading this, can you also include what map you were playing on?). Have you run into floating heads, or other weird stuff in R:FoM lately?

Okay, time for a very bad Austin Powers pun: this is no way to get ahead in multiplayer... There goes our New Year's Resolution. Sorry, Max.

Thanks for the tip, CodeRed!
