Home gets Godfather space, user t-shirts

Former in US, latter in Europe.

EA takes its first steps into PlayStation Home today, with the American launch of a Godfather II space, according to the US PlayStation Blog.

The space celebrates the release of the slightly ropey crime sequel, and features a Texas Hold 'Em poker table.

There will also be some additions to Capcom's Resident Evil 5 space: a new mini-game quest, souvenir shop and costumes.

According to an official post on the European Home forums, the Resi 5 update is currently being localised for Europe, while the Godfather II and Guitar Hero spaces are still going through regional approval processes.

Localisation is also under way for the Warhawk, SOCOM and Uncharted spaces that launched in the US some time ago.

European Home users, however, do get something their American counterparts don't. T-shirt company MySoti is launching its range in Home - including the best of its community-designed shirts.

If you have a t-shirt design burning a hole in your brain, you can submit it to MySoti and stand a chance of it appearing for sale in the virtual as well as the real world. Plus, you'll get a share of the profits.

Only designs voted as Most Wanted will be included, and the service will only be available in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region.

Much more at the PlatStation Home gamepage.

    A Godfather space. Any boxes of oranges located anywhere? If there are, I'm not walking anywhere near those, for fear of being wacked.

    I'd buy it, if I was in home, which I very much doubt I'll ever be.

    The EA space is actually not bad - there are a lot of poker tables (though most of them hidden on the 2nd floor which not everyone has found out yet I think), and each table can seat 8 players, so the waiting isn't too bad generally. 8 player Texas Hold' Em is a fair bit of fun. Apparently they will feature ranked games once the EA sports complex launches.

    While I was over yonder I also checked out the Guitar Hero space, which looks pretty good actually. Dare I say almost better than the real thing on PS3, since that's still upscaled ... lol. Anyway, the game there isn't great, but it's interesting, in that it's a simon says kind of thing but you're ranked for speed of input, and you're playing 8 people at the time, with the results up on a board once you're done. I can see room for some more exciting setups, but still. ;) I think Home is going in the right direction - game launching should be really good if it's picked up more broadly, and it seems we might also finally get our picture frames sometime soon!

    @Arwin: I've never known anyone to write that much about Home unless they've been paid to do so..
