Seriously ... of course you do. Free stuff is awesome, and free Silent Hill stuff is even awesomer. While the full official soundtrack for the game is not out yet, you can hit up this link to Amazon.com for their bonus tracks, which include the vocal song from the opening portion of the game, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn's “The Sacred Line”, as well as "Witchcraft" and "Cold Blood".

Composer Akira Yamaoka says that the full soundtrack should be available shortly after the release of the game, which came out on September 30th. Having blasted through that (check out our Destructoid review later today) and still hungry for more, I hope to see it pop up on Konamistyle very soon.

Here's good news for movie trivia buffs like me who enjoy shamelessly humiliating their friends and loved ones. A second Scene It? title has been announced by Microsoft today. Subtitled, Box Office Smash, the game will feature new puzzle types and content from over 250 movies, including audio, video clips and still images. It will also be the first game released that takes advantage of Avatars, the Microsoft response to Nintendo's lovable Mii characters.

Just as with the first Scene It?, the game will come bundled with four of the "big button" controllers designed to make it accessible to gamers and their non-gaming friends alike. If you've already purchased the previous version (which you can find at many Target locations for a mere $15 on clearance), the standalone disc will be available for $39.

One thing that's interesting to note about this is the release date. Scene It? Box Office Smash is scheduled for release on October 28th. Now, we've been hearing for a while that the New Xbox Experience with updated dashboard and Avatar functionality wouldn't be arriving until sometime in November. So, the question becomes, will Scene It? require a patch after the fall update to enable the function or are we going to be getting the fall update a bit earlier than we'd been told?

Check out the gallery for some screens bearing a little bit of trivia.

I have to admit the whole DSi camera thing doesn't sound that appealing, at least not at first. I do carry my DS a lot, but I'd rather take my camera along in another pocket than take a poopy photo with something comparable to cell phone camera quality. The only game we knew the DSi would be camera-compatible with was downloadable versions of Brain Age, so what else would it be used for?

Thanks to the internet matlocking skills of Spencer over at Siliconera, there may just be another possibility to chew on -- that the camera will be used to scan trading cards. The picture above is from Japan's trademark database, showing Nintendo has trademarked "DSSCAN". From the source article:

DSScan was registered on August 19 not as the name of a game, but under the broad category of game equipment. Lots of things fall under this category including trading cards and board game equipment. Paper Pokemon cards are also grouped into this category.

So .. kind of like what the e-Reader did, but as a part of the internal hardware? It could open up some cool possibilities. I'm still not feeling too positive about the idea of not being able to play new DSi import software, but this could definitely be neat, especially if it was used for more than just Pokemon cards.

As with most big-name titles, it seems like offering downloadable content for Fable II is an obvious move to make. While Peter Molyneux hasn't outright confirmed or denied DLC for Lionhead's pride and joy, he does hint that it's likely to happen.

In an interview conducted by VideoGamer, Molyneux says that "without any official announcements, I would say that we'd be pretty dumb not to plan [DLC]."

He continues, "what I would say, if we're going to do DLC then I definitely don't want it to be just a whole load of new weapons and armor. I just don't want it to be that. It needs to be something a bit more tangible and it would be nice if you didn't have to wait months and months for it as well."

From that description, it sounds like if Lionhead does innevitably release DLC, it'll be pretty rockin'. Perhaps there will be additional content a la The Lost Chapters? That'd be good, right?

Konami released this trailer for Silent Hill: Homecoming this morning. Having played the game, I'm really impressed with this bit of footage for emphasizing more of the human drama than the outright gory bits of the game. Don't get the wrong impression of this, though, because there's plenty of that other stuff in the game.

In the gallery below, observe the twenty screens we managed to grab, showing off some of the boss fights along with some generally creepy environment shots. The Silent Hill guys really have a thing for screwed-up limbs, don't they?

Destructoid will be giving you its review of Silent Hill: Homecoming later today.

Being a part of a huge community like Destructoid, it's easy to miss out on the incredible things people do sometimes, but I always try to keep my eye on community member ekoala2002, who some of you may know better as Kody Koala. While he has created many amazing custom toys, this buffed up version of Luigi brought a wry smile to my face.

The artist describes this as his version of "Luigi on Steroids", which you can see more of on his Flickr page. He used Mighty Putty to create the overalls, mustache and shoes. Cho Aniki meets Luigi! I can't help wonder if a Mario might be coming down the line -- I think this Luigi might enjoy having a "friend".

Heavy Rain is, without a doubt, exactly the type of game that gets me all hot and bothered -- it deviates from the averagely successful modern game completely, choosing to strongly favor story over gameplay. A lot of gamers will think it's the most uninteresting thing ever and complain that "playing a movie" sounds stupid, but since gamers complain about everything, you shouldn't take those comments to heart too much.

If you've already seen video for the demo shown at Leipzig, you will recognize these stills, which were taken from that very demo. Now, you can save them from our gallery and drool over all their beautiful digital glory. Yum!
