If you’re a fan of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune (and let’s face it, who isn’t), today is a great day as a sequel has officially been revealed. Unfortunately, to get an early glimpse of the game you will have to brave through the always terrible Spike Video Game Awards. Anyways, on to the headlines:

• Naughty Dog has finally revealed the sequel to Uncharted, with Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Check out the January issue of Game Informer for more details.
• If you can’t wait for Kratos’ next adventure, be sure to tune into the Spike Video Game Awards, where you’ll be able to get a sneak peek at God of War III.
• Yakuza 3 will be getting the bundle treatment in Japan, as it will be paired alongside a ceramic white PS3.
• The PS3 is getting yet another firmware update. The latest one should fix some of the issues the web browser has dealing with flash based video, including the addition of full-screen support.
• Resistance 2 isn’t doing so well in the UK. In fact, the game has sold less than its predecessor so far.

It’s another light news day, but there is something that’s even lighter: my wallet. That’s right, LittleBigPlanet is going to bankrupt me. I’m not one for excessive DLC, but man, who can resist those adorable little outfits?! I know it’s sad, but I can’t wait until Thursday to dress up my little Sackboy as a shark. Will blog for PSN points! On to the news.

• Love the turn-based strategy action of Valkyria Chronicles? Love the alternate history even more? Well, you’re in luck, as an anime based on the game is coming soon, from the same company that made the Persona 3 anime. Unfortunately, chances are this one will stay Japan-only.
• LittleBigPlanet fans will be getting a healthy dose of new Sackboy (or girl) outfits, including an absolutely adorable shark suit. Just try and not download them.
• Though the reviews of Resistance 2 have been devisive to say the least, the co-op and multiplayer alone make it worth a shot. If you’re interested in what it takes to make a AAA shooter, check out this in-depth feature over at Gamasutra.
• Despite being launched alongside a ton of great shooters, Far Cry 2 is a commercial success, selling over 1 million copies already.
