Chun-Li invades Playstation Home

Now for ONLY five dollars, you too can dress to impress with hair buns and legs of sexy thunder! Or you can buy pieces of Chun-Li's outfit, mix and match, and make home look like a rave for the confused clothing designer in all of us.

Sadly, that neon reflection is due to my camera and not some uber cool effect in Home.

Looks like every piece of Street Fighter flavor is going for a dollar. This is double the price for most of clothing being sold in the Threads store in Home (with some exceptions). Is a wig of Guile worth a whole dollar to you? If I could get my hair to stand up like that in real life I would easily pay a thousand. For an avatar in an online world, well, that's a whole different question.

Right now the guys can choose between Ryu, Ken, and Guile outfits. While the ladies can only choose Chun-Li. Personally, I'm waiting for the Sakura school girl outfit to come out. What? It has nothing to do with the short skirt, she's my favorite Street Fighter character. Really!

Lastly, there is a whole new room devoted to Warhawk that has opened up.

Welcome to Warhawk central.

Upon entering the room, there are info terminals along the side of the wall. Simply press X to enter them and start reading. Then you can press every fraking button trying to figure out how to get out with no luck until you realize the start button pulls up a menu for exiting. The "Start" button. As in, I want to start to get out? This is a bad button config. I wonder why Sony lets Home developers drink on the job.

The best part is the sandbox table for planning out Warhawk strategies. The first person on the table gets a long menu on the left side of their screen that allows them to place markers and troops from each warring side on the different maps available. Any other user who views the table there after becomes a spectator of the action.

It helps when Ryu and Chun-Li know what the frack their doing.

Finally got Ryu and Chun to go make out in the other room and leave the planning to someone who actually plays Warhawk.

As you can see the green arrow will come behind and destroy the red tank.

Blue Squadron Echo, you will drop off the pizzas at home base. Bravo will meet you with the payout and tip at 1900 hours.

All in all, this is a pretty sweet FREE update. You get to play commander on a big table and laugh at all the retarded Street Fighter mix and match characters. I hope in a future update, there is an option to upload a youtube type of animation for friends and clan members to view your Warhawk game strategies. Or a Sakura update. Yeah, that would be swell.
