New stuff hits the PS-Store... lots of new stuff!
Well, everybody's PS-Store probably looks a little different nowadays, what with the European and US and Japan and Hong Kong all handing out different stuff at different times... however! We're pretty sure we've got a good list for the US and EU stores on what's new. Let's get crackin'.US Armored Core 4 demo GTAIV teaser video: "Things Will Be Different" Stardust movie trailer (if anyone else is a fan of Neil Gaiman, you should be giddy with excitement... although my favorite of his has to be Neverwhere, hands down. American Gods is a very close second) Other movie trailers: Are We Done Yet? and Perfect Stranger. EU In addition to that stuff, we imagine excepting the movie trailers (?), Europe is also privy to the Super Rub a Dub demo and game. Also mentioned in an e-mail was a new version of Gran Turismo HD -- now with worldwide scoreboards and one other thing. Oh yeah, full compatibility with force feedback and all of these driving wheels: Logitech's Driving Force, Driving Force Pro, and Driving Force EX. So, enjoy that one, guys! Force feedback is coming back in small doses, but for those who missed the experience, your voice has been heard.
Today's cleanest game video: Super Rub 'a' Dub trailer
With the foolingest day of the year behind us, we welcome a trailer for Super Rub 'a' Dub, a game that at first glance looked like a joke. But, no, the game is a real downloadable title for the PS3, and the trailer quickly turned us from skeptical to interested. Players pilot a rubber duck through elaborate pools with the Sixaxis motion controls, herding up smaller ducks in the process. Elements of the game remind us of Lemmings and ChuChu Rocket; we hope the final title lives up to those classics.See the video after the break.

Sony unveils launch lineup for Euro PlayStation Network
The PS3's launch day in Europe is set to be filled with wanton punching, devastating explosions and utterly callous driving -- and when new PS3 owners finally get home, they can experience even more of that. Sony has announced a trio of downloads that will greet European PlayStation Network users on March 23, namely Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection (costing £6.99), Blast Factor (£3.49) and the Gran Turismo HD trial (£0). Other games slated for the online network are: 30 March: Super Rub-A-Dub, a touching study of the social intricacies found in a group of inanimate ducks! 6 April: flOw, a relaxing aquatic adventure with many a mingling microorganism! 13 April: Go! Sudoku, a game stunningly devoid of ritualistic suicide! 20 April: Go! Puzzle, a gripping crime thriller following a fugitive jigsaw piece! If all that isn't worth registering on PSN, perhaps James Bond will talk some sense into you. He has a gun, you know.
Super Rub a Dub screens and info... too cute to refuse!
Ever since Phil Harrison unplugged the drain on this title, a torrent of screens have flooded the internet. Well, that didn't exactly work as planned, but you get the idea. Tubs, water, etc? It was about 46% clever. Super Rub a Dub is a new downloadable title due out at some point in the future (March 23rd, the European launch) that lets you control that cute little rubber duckie you've loved your entire life. In secret. Using the SIXAXIS, you guide mama duck and her little babies through a series of interestingly designed bathtubs. Anyway, check out the screens, go "aww", then return to blowing stuff up. Or whatever.
