It’s a sad day for the games industry, as one of the best gaming magazines out there has closed its doors. Electronic Gaming Monthly has been around for almost two decades, and over that time has provided some of the most insightful and entertaining games journalism on the planet. Sadly, the most recent issue will be that last. We here at PSM wish all of the staff member at EGM and 1UP who lost their jobs the best of luck in the future. On to the headlines.

• A new, exclusive puzzle game called Cuboid will be coming to the PlayStation Network.
• Disgaea 3 is finally coming to Europe, with Square Enix publishing the SRPG.
• Japan is getting yet another cool PS3 bundle, this time for Resident Evil 5.
• If you’re still playing SOCOM: Confrontation you’re in luck, as a recent update has added Trophy support.
• The Level 5 developed White Knight Chronicles has finally been confirmed for North America, though we don’t know exactly when it will be released here.
• A demo for the sequel to the excellent skateboarding title Skate will be available on the PSN next week.
