Superior? Good! EA announced that its Sims 2 Store is now live for US and Canadian shoppers. The on the web retail location practices the fine art of micro transactions by offering items available in Sims 2 expansion packs and “all-new exclusive” content.

The store works by converting real money into “SimPoints” at an exchange rate of $1 for 100 SimPoints, and most items we saw appear to be between 75 - 100 SimPoints. Sims 2 fans can decide for themselves if it’s worth micro-transactioning through the Sims 2 Store or picking up the full expansions at retail. The store seems like the type of thing that’s perfect if your Sim just needs to have that new shower head and nothing else.

Last we heard in March, SOCOM: Confrontation was coming September 16 to PS3. If Gamestop is to be believed, that release date has been pushed back a month to October 14. We wouldn’t be surprised if it was true, as our hands-on time with the game recently showed there was still a lot of work to be done. We’ve put in a call to developer Slant Six for an official response.

We already know that Age of Conan enjoyed healthy preorder and launch sales, but has its momentum carried over into the summer months?

Hey, remember that rumor that Microsoft was developing a service called My GamerPad that was an awful lot like Sony’s (still unfinished) Home service on the PS3? You can stick a fork in that rumor. It’s done. DCEmu reports that the supposed image from My GamerPad (top left) is nothing more than a Photoshopped version of an image taken from deviantART user saffiq. So there you go children. Remember, if it looks Photoshopped, smells Photoshopped, and tastes Photoshopped, it’s a duck Photoshopped. You might also want to remember to make sure no one is around when it comes time to sniff and lick your computer screen though.

God, I hope so. Sure, there’s plenty of PSOne hits we’ve yet to see, but I’ve really been hoping for some PS2 downloads. You all know good and well that the system could pull it off. It was just a matter of waiting until Sony had it ready. So when?

While not official, the above picture gives me hope. This tiny gem comes from the N4G boards, where a board member claims this shot came from a Sony London employee. He says that a new PlayStation 2 Store will be announced at E3, and its launch is marked for late summer. And it’s supposed to launch in Europe!

Of course, none of this is confirmed. But the screenshot looks real enough. If you squint (or use the bigger one in the gallery below), you can see Metal Gear Solid 2, Fantavision, The Bouncer, Ridge Racer V, Smuggler’s Run, Red Faction, and SSX. The highlighted selection, MGS2, lists for

Ah, wrestling games. Back in high school, my friends and I were heavily into wrestling, and we all owned the first two WWF SmackDown! games (the ones on the PS1). We’d watch Raw and SmackDown! every week, and we’d beat the living hell out of each other (in the game, of course) each weekday afternoon after school. But the series’ third game, the first on the PS2, lacked the same luster and charm of its prior-gen predecessors — at least in our view — and we stopped following wrestling anyway soon afterwards.

Still, my group of friends is obviously not a microcosm or a good sample size of Americans in general, since the WWE remains hugely popular (at the very least, we all know that Suff0cat is a massive fan). THQ has decided to pump out a new iteration of the games each year, so this will be the fifth title in the SmackDown vs. Raw series. THQ and developer Yuke’s are hoping that SvR 2009 has a superior reception than last year’s game, which garnered below-average reviews.

THQ PR reps were on hand at the 2008 Holiday Junket to demo the game’s exhibition matches (one-on-one and tag team), as well as its Create-A-Finisher mode. For more on how the game looks so far, head to the jump.

It’s been a long time coming, but at last, one of classic rock’s greatest bands, The Who, will be making its way to Rock Band. Harmonix had long ago named the band’s seminal 1971 record Who’s Next as planned full-album DLC for Rock Band, but we’ve seen neither hide nor hair of songs like “Bargain” and “Baba O’Riley” (for the last time, people, it isn’t called “Teenage Wasteland”).

Now, alongside the official announcement of Rock Band 2, we’ve got confirmation from Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopolous that a bunch of Who tracks will soon be appearing in the Rock Band Music Store — and that they’ve had some difficulty in procuring what they originally promised:

Their music really comes alive when you’re playing it … We were trying to release ‘Who’s Next’ in its entirety, but we were unable to locate all the masters. So in the face of that, Pete (Townshend) and Roger (Daltrey) helped curate this best-of soundtrack of everything we were able to find.

On Tuesday, July 15th, Harmonix will deliver a grand total of twelve songs by The Who. Since it’s a Tuesday, the songs will presumably only hit Xbox Live Marketplace that day, and will probably come to the PlayStation Store two days later — even though there’s no affirmation of that in the Yahoo! News article in which this story was first broken. As for the songs themselves, only two have been revealed so far, and they’re great ones: “My Generation” and “Who Are You.”

The songs will go for $1.99 apiece, while the twelve-pack of master tracks will sell for $19.99. It may not be all of Who’s Next, but I’m sure that whatever it is, it’s going to rock. After all, the band’s only remaining founding members helped pick the tracks. Are you already opening your wallet, like I’m?
