New and Updated Spaces
New SingStar Space
The new SingStar space is finally open with an animated dancing floor, music video jukebox and a special VIP room currently featuring UK rapper Dizzee Rascal with a store kiosk selling virtual Dizzee merchandise in celebration of the release of his newest CD, Tongue n’ Cheek. Currently the Video Quiz game on the second floor is not available at this time. But who cares when you’re getting freebies just for being there, right? In fact, when you first load into the space you automatically get the “Welcome” T-shirt, try a few dance moves on the floor for two more T-shirts, pick a music video to watch for another and so on. There are unlockable T-shirts for those who own the game but I don’t have the details on how to unlock those. You’ll just have to play the game to find it. And if you get tired of dancing, walk down the hall next to the video screen and enter the VIP room as mentioned above and just hang with other SingStar fans in this quiet roof top gamers lounge and enjoy the smaller dance floor or look out over the balcony a beautiful night over looking a huge cityscape.
FarCry 2 Mini-game added to space
A new mini-game has been added in the FarCry 2 Home Space to Rueben’s office called “Reuben’s Report.” This is a who done it mystery game located to the left on the wall after you completely load into the world. The game is played using the maps and the few clues given when you start to try and track down arms dealers, prevent assassination and sabotage attempts. Each time you find the enemy you are given a new clue and a new map to search.
Bugs found in personal spaces
Those who are used to going back to your personal space to unwind and redecorate with your newly earned items may find your Alcove Set from the Siren: Ward of Despair game replaced with a rather large knight in shining armor standing in their space instead this week. The knight is from an unrelated game and during the update that took place recently a bug accidentally replaced all alcove sets with the knight. Sony is working on fixing this bug at the moment and the Alcove set will return shortly. Honestly, I’d rather keep the knight in shining armor myself. That thing is not only huge it’s completely awesome if you have the Fat Princess Throne and the Chamber Apartment. You can really create your own little mini-kingdom complete with armored guards with the right furniture placement. (Insert girly giggles here.)
