177w ago - Today Insomniac Games Community Relations Manager James Stevenson has posted a warm 'Happy Holidays' greeting to PS3 fans on the official PlayStation Blog.

To quote: A very Happy Holidays to you all from all of us here at Insomniac Games.

This is a great time of year for all of us, as we take time off to be with our family, friends, and to play all of the videogames from this year that we missed out on while making Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time.

Some of us will be busy exploring with Nathan Drake in UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves, others will be unlocking the powers of Cole MacGrath in inFAMOUS. We might find ourselves buried in BioWare's latest epic Dragon Age: Origins, or maybe just jamming out to Lego Rock Band with the family.

Regardless, it's an exciting holiday season with a ton of good games. Hopefully you've had the chance to check out Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time, but if not, it's the perfect game to cash in those gift cards for (in our humble opinion).

Every year, we send out Christmas cards to close friends and partners...

177w ago - Guerrilla Games Producer Sebastian Downie has wished PS3 fans very happy holidays today on behalf of Guerrilla Games Studios via Sony's PlayStation Blog.

We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to you, the fans, for supporting us throughout 2009 - by cheering us on, by playing our game, by giving us feedback and by sharing your passion.

Without your enthusiasm, there simply wouldn't be a Killzone 2. We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and an exciting New Year!

We hope you'll come visit us regularly at Killzone.com.

To quote: Sony has confirmed to us at a holiday showcase event in New York City tonight that the PlayStation Eye game, EyePet, will definitely be heading to the US in time for the holidays.

Our roving reporter, Andrew Yoon, says that the game will be available standalone as well as bundled with the PlayStation Eye camera.

Previously, the game was only announced for a European release after it was first revealed at Leipzig GC last year.

We're happy to see the adorable simian-dog-thing will be making the jump across the Atlantic and won't be suffering from the chronic case of Q1-2010 flu that's making the rounds.
