Sony has told us it has no plans to bring the LocoRoco soundtrack to our shores anytime soon - sad news for anyone who can't get enough of the cheery little blobs' peppy tunes and nonsensical lyrics. There is a silver lining, however - we've scored four of the game's songs in their entirety and put them online for your listening pleasure. Hit the Movies tab above, and you'll be able to listen to the opening theme (as sung by both the childlike yellow LocoRocos and the folk-rocky green ones), ...

GAME is just one of the stores participating in the launch, and will be opening the wireless floodgates at its stores in Oxford Street, London and Crown Walk, Milton Keynes.

In a statement issued by the San Jose branch of the NAACP, chapter president Rick Callender also appeared to refer to recent allegations that PSP game LocoRoco also has racist overtones, stating: "The days of blacks being portrayed in minstrel shows are long gone, and with good reason. The minstrel show was an awful chapter in history and this ad smacks of that age and time.

No visit to the immense Sony stand in E3's cavernous West Hall, and the accompanying PSP peninsula, would be complete without a quick pause for a spot of LocoRoco. And to bring a big beaming smile to your face and the warm touch of a little sunshine into your day, we've nabbed a bit of footage of the gelatinous platformer in tilting action. And talking of tilting, we wonder if there will be any chance of a PS3 conversion of the game to take advance of the new pad's wobble-detection ability? ...

We've gathered some screenshots for Loco Roco, which Sony has announced will hit PSP this summer. A joyfully simple game, you're responsible for guiding grinning, jelly-like blobs - the Loco Roco - through snowy mountain peaks and moist jungles, while avoiding anything sharp and pokey.
