Sony have announced their line-up for TGS at the end of the month, which predictably contains a large amount of games that everyone is dying to stick into their PS3s and push their buttons.

There’s no mention of The Last Guardian, but there are two unannounced games. We don’t know what they are, however, because they haven’t been announced. Obviously.

There’s also something called Golden Sword And The Vanished Fleet: Drakes Fortune, which is an enigma. Your guess is as good as ours.

You can see the list after the break.

To discover the mystery of Xi, simply log on to PlayStation Home and look for the graffiti on the wall in the main square. Find that, and all will be revealed…

Be sure to check out the alphaAFK website for further clues in solving this mystery.

Sony announced today that it has handed out licenses to 24 different companies interested in developing content for the PS3′s unique virtual environment, PlayStation Home

Of course, just because a company owns a license to develop Home content doesn’t necessarily mean that they definitely will, but it’s clear that support for the service is growing at a really strong rate, and game publishers and companies outside of the gaming market see more and more potential in the service.

Full lost of the companies interested after the cut.

The PlayStation Home servers are back online after today’s extended maintenance, which brings the software up to version 1.04, and adds some new content in the mix. PS3 users should also find find it easier to log into the service now.

Europe (in a change for Sony’s usual habits) has two new additions to the European shopping centre; the Diesel and Ligne Roset stores are now open. Though there are some swanky virtual garbs and furniture for sale in both stores, there’s some free stuff as well. Each gender will find 3 items of Diesel clothing free to buy, and and the Linge Roset store are giving away some chairs and tables for free.

The standard furniture and clothing stores have been updated with new content, too. A Christmas tree and snowman for your apartment will set you back 79p ($0.99) for each. There’s also the Santa costume… but the full set will put you back nearly £5 ($6). There’s also a swanky business suit will cost you 59p ($0.49).

Unfortunately, there’s still no sign of the Red Bull Air Race space yet. Boooo hissss Sony!

The long awaited PlayStation Home was finally released after a full year of Beta testing on December 11, 2008.  Being the admitted Sony fanboy that I am, you can bet I was on the scene the second it was released.

Kind of.

Lets break this down, Home did not show up on my XMB till about 7:00pm EST. I was not able to login to Home till about 1:30am . Stress testing taunts me.
