PlayStation®Home update - 02/07/09

inFamous and SOCOM spaces, Killzone 2 personal apartment, plus EA Sports Complex update, now in PlayStation Home.

A struggle between good and evil.

Don your Cole McGrath or Reaper outfits and enter the decaying metropolis that is the inFamous "Abandoned Docks of Empire City" Space, accessible via the PlayStation Home World Map. Once inside, you can chat, check out the latest updates to the inFamous blog or test your powers on a brand new mini-game, Reaper Shock. As cardboard cut-outs of the game's enemies appear, you must aim the targeting reticule with the left stick and fire bursts of electric energy. For bonus points, you can split the reticule using the right stick and control both independently for twice the shock value.

Check out the inFamous Space and join the community in Empire City.

Ever wanted to live in Visari's Throne Room from Killzone 2?

Scolar Visari's Throne Room, the scene of the epic climax to Killzone 2 on PlayStation 3, can now be your personal apartment in PS Home. Head to Home Estates in the Shopping Centre to move in, then impress your friends by inviting them back to your Helghan stronghold.

To complete the occupation, grab the Helghast Tactician outfit and a range of Killzone 2 T-shirts, available in the Shopping Centre. The Home Community will think twice about doing the Running Man in your path when they see those piercing red eyes approaching.
 
SOCOM: Tactical Operation Centre Space

Meet at the Tactical Operations Centre to scheme, plan and get your team readied for battle!

The first instalment of a two-part SOCOM Home hub, this space is THE place for members of the SOCOM community to get together. The new space boasts a Telestrator tool to help you coordinate your next assault with friends, maps and modes from SOCOM: Confrontation, a regional leaderboard that pulls data from the SOCOM site and updates Career stats in real-time, plus a whole bunch of virtual items to decorate your avatar with, such as bandoliers, balaclavas and other assorted tactical outerwear.

You can check out the SOCOM: Tactical Operation Centre Space from the PlayStation Home World Map.

And finally, the EA Sports Complex has been updated again and you'll find some interesting changes to Racing and Poker, as well as the introduction of Golf. Check out the updates now at the EA Sports Complex, accessible via the PlayStation Home World Map.
