Oh boy, Super Rub a Dub. That should keep us busy until Lair and Heavenly Sword come out in a few months. Right?.... The cover art for Lair looks cooler than I expected though.

Yesterday the Nintendo Wii had more console update details than a Sandra Cisneros novel, and Sony and Microsoft don't want to feel left out.  Here's the new content available on the Xbox 360 Video Marketplace to gamers in America. It's crazy how quickly some of these movies have jumped from theaters to being downloadable:

Skyland (Nicktoons, season one, episode one)
Wild World of Spike
Inconvenient Truth  2007 Academy Award nominated!
Lady in the Water (HD)
Beerfest (HD)
Wickerman (HD)
The Descent (HD)
American Haunting (HD)
See No Evil (HD)
Blair Witch Project (HD)
Requiem for a Dream (HD)
Cecil B. Demented (HD)

And Sony wants to hang with the cool kids too, here's their new PS1 downloads for the PlayStation Store. Each game costs ¥525 (US$4.30), and Crash Bandicoot and Rally Cross are available only in North America, but the following four are just exclusive to Japanese regions:

• A.I.V. Evolution Global (city railway management from Artdink)
• Logic Mahjong (a mahjong game by Nippon Ichi)
  
• Spectral Force (the first game in Idea Factory's strategy RPG series)
  
• Vampire: Legend of the Bloodsuckers (an isometric action-RPG by Artdink)

I haven't seen Requiem for a Dream in a while, I might download that. Here's another true story about my Mormon friend from high school. We used to invite him over all the time on the weekends, but he was afraid to ever leave his house. We called him up every time we had Friday night movie nights at the theater, but he refused to watch any rated R movie due to his religious beliefs. I finally got him to come over one night when we were just playing Super Smash Bros on the 64 and relaxing, but it just so happened to be one of those nights where nothing interesting was on Comedy Central or TBS or Encore, so we turned on some obscure artsy channel that was playing the graphic Requiem for a Dream movie about drug addictions. Right as Cameron rang the doorbell and stepped inside my house for the first time, the infamous "Ass to ass!" butt sex scene with Jennifer Connelly came on screen and Cameron freaked out. Much like the lamp scenes in A Christmas Story, I felt horrified, yet couldn't stop what what happening as Cameron stared on at asscheecks slamming into each other in a tornado of dollar bills. He didn't say a word all night and never came over again until my high school graduation party bonfire year later. Now he's off somewhere in Europe doing missionary work.

I miss all your crazy cafeteria debates about the episode of South Park that targeted your religion. Hope all is well, and that you're having heated Mormon orgies off in Europe somewhere, good luck Cameron.

Tekken: Dark Resurrection was released for the PSP this year, but now the official Tekken 5 PS3 game is up for download on the PlayStation Store if you live in Japan. It runs at full 1080p HD at 60 frames per second, and even makes the Tekken series boss character Jinpachi Mishima playable for the first time. The download is 830MB and costs 2000 yen ($16.80) in Japan, but only $125HK ($16.07) in Hong Kong store. Sounds pretty cheap for a game that got amazing PSP reviews, looks like it'll be worth a download as soon as America gets in on the party.

If you have a PS3 and a memory card with enough room for a PS1 download, then check out the PlayStation Store on your PS3 - they're selling a few PS1 games for your PSP. For $5.99 each, here are the ones you can purchase and download:

• Cool Boarders (283 megabytes)
• Crash Bandicoot (469 megabytes)
• Hot Shots Golf 2 (157 megabytes)
• Syphon Filter (385 megabytes)
• Tekken 2 (535 megabytes)
