Quite a small selection of new goodies this week headlined with the Warhawk Combo pack and Disney`s Pure demo

I originally reported on this back in June here and the latest from the PlayStation.Blog confirms it`s release and features. In brief - it will be available both as part of a bundle with Socom: US Navy SEALs Confrontation and separately. The headset will feature a HQ mode offering to

take advantage of advanced voice technologies and noise cancellation techniques to provide clear and wideband voice input to the PS3. The HQ mode will ensure a much better voice chat quality on the PS3.

HQ mode will also enable accurate speech recognition required to support or enhance ‘Voice Command’ and ‘Voice Animation’ features. Voice Command was originally used in SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs for PS2 to administer the AI-controlled teammates using the WHO, WHAT, and WHERE format (example: Bravo, Attack, Nav Point Zulu). Voice Animation refers to the in-game character mimicking you during voice chat. With HQ mode, these features can be enabled on a much larger vocabulary in select PS3 games.

It will also have a mute button and come complete with a docking charging cradle. A clever feature of this is you can still use the headset as a microphone while it is on charge

Firstly I must apologise for not posting since last week. There are a few reasons for this: this is a one man operation, just me - so if I don`t post anything, nothing gets posted. You may or may not be aware that I suffer with MS and have not felt too good recently. An added health problem I won`t go into has kept my mind occupied for the past week - hence why I have neglecting things here. The other reason is my host changed some settings server side and I was unable to alter the database, meaning it wouldn’t let me post on my own blog

Thankfully the last reason has now been sorted and I`m feeling somewhat better, so expect me back in the saddle and with my finger on the pulse of all that is PS3

A week ago I reported that the abstract demo/game Linger In Shadows was due for release today. This has not happened and furthermore, according to the official UK Playstation site, it has now been rescheduled for release `September 2008`.

First off yes, I know this is a bit late and old news, but I`ve been having way too much fun with the jet pack. Anyway, if you have been hiding under a bush, just come out of a coma or just sobered up after a week long pub crawl - the latest (and arguably greatest) addition to Warhawk has been released - Operation: Fallen Star - the highlight of which are the Jet Packs. Awesome fun.

£3.99 from PSN

Top of this week`s list is Operation: Fallen Star for Warhawk, but also of interest is the sublime Japanese creation `The Last Guy` - both the full game and a demo. Recommended
