The one man on the internet who camps out the US Patent and Trademark Office (we still haven't figured out who he is) sends word that Sony Computer Entertainment has registered a few new names - possibly for upcoming game products.
Described as "computer games apparatus adapted for use with an external display screen or monitor," (which is probably 'games' to your average bloke in the pub) names discovered include 'Ember', 'SkyBlue', 'Carriage Return', 'Race Day', and 'Strings Attached'.
Sounds like more off-the-wall PSN download games to us.
The company's Japanese office also went and trademarked something called The Broadcast Engine, which covers not only videogame consoles but mobile phones, DVD players and video cameras.
Apparently this is something to do with Sony's plans to incorporate PlayStation Network throughout its product line. Let's hope Sony gets a bit further along than Microsoft did with Live Anywhere, eh?
Strings Attached sounds like it could be a puppet simulator with the motion sensor being the main method of control with buttons to perform limb actions.
Like Ragdoll Kung Fu, but with more physical interaction? Could be funny as hell
Carriage Return could be an official Sony USB (or BlueTooth) keyboard...
Strings Attached could be a range of budget wired controllers (to go with the budget 40Gb PS3) - or could be a USB hub to provide more USB ports... (Although I like the suggestion of the PS3 marionnette puppet)
The Broadcast Engine could be interesting too - it could be related to the video sharing that has been talked about in Home, providing the option of Broadcasting to non PS3 devices such as PSPs or phones. Interesting times for Sony - makes a nice change for some non-negative news.

Surely that's more likely to be a Nintendo thing - they'd probably call it Super Marionette Brothers or something...

That was supposed to be shigsy's next game wasn't it?
