Sorcery, Syphon Filter, Vita AR and more

We'll admit it: there were times we thought we'd never get Sorcery, yet that day is finally here. There's also some free Augmented Reality content for Vita and a stack of classic SEGA games, making this a very good day indeed. PlayStation Plus: Full Game Trial: Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition Full Game...

Stop press

The PlayStation Network is set to undergo another round of scheduled maintenance tomorrow. From 16:00PM BST tomorrow (that’s Thursday, if you’re not sure) through until 08:00AM BST on Friday, you’ll be unable to access Account Management and the PlayStation Store. Online gameplay should work if you sign in before the maintenance...

Sorcery, SEGA, Table Top Tanks and a Vita demo

One of the busiest release weeks in recent times as we have no fewer than 11 PSN games for PS3 owners, an AR title for Vita and demos and DLC to boot. Here's what's vying for your pounds, Euro and Aussie dollars this week. PlayStation Plus: Ghost Recon Future Soldier Signature Edition (PS3) – 15%...

Kill anything that moves

Spanish developer Tragnarion Studios has announced a brand new shooter set for release on PSN this summer. Entitled Scourge: Outbreak, the sci-fi adventure puts you in “control of Echo Squad, an elite group of mercenaries hired to deal a decisive blow against the power-hungry Nogari Corporation".

Genesis 11:9

Ubisoft’s PlayStation Move powered God game Babel Rising is set to release on 13th June in Europe, the publisher has announced. The downloadable title sees you assuming the role of God and attempting to stop humans from building the Tower of Babel by tossing all manner of natural disasters at them. Sounds like a good way to relieve...

Breaking barriers

DUST 514 is probably the most ambitious game announced for PlayStation 3 right now. The free-to-play title – which ties directly into hardcore PC MMO EVE Online – sees you forming allegiances with other players and fighting over meaningful locations in the game's universe. The title's ambition is so great that it’s hard to...

Twist and shout

We have to admit we’re a little bit disappointed with this launch trailer for Dungeon Twister. Upon learning that the title was based on a “popular board game”, we wrongly assumed that it would be about contortionists adopting unusual body positions in a fantasy setting. But no, it's nothing like that at all. In the game, two...

Flux capacitor

Sadly we’re not here to share a release date announcement for the upcoming PS3 and Vita throwback Retro City Rampage, but we do have a new gameplay trailer to sate your raging anticipation. Best of all, this brand new video shows off the title on Sony's new handheld for the very first time. Those of you unsure of which platform to...

No stranger

Just Add Water only started work on the PlayStation Vita version of the quirky Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath a few weeks ago, but it already has a rough launch window in mind. As part of a fascinating interview on this week’s Official PlayStation Blogcast, CEO Stewart Gilray explained that the handheld version of the classic shooter was...

Vintage collection

No console is complete without a full compilation of SEGA classics, and so we’re pleased to report that the Japanese publisher is extending its Vintage Collection range for PSN next week. Headlining the additions (for us at least) is the arcade version of the brilliant Super Hang-On. Sadly it doesn’t come with a motorcycle for...

Price of a pizza

The 15 people that actually played Techland’s off-road racer Nail’d will tell you that, terrible name aside, it was pretty good fun. We were one of those 15 people, and we agree. The big problem with Nail’d was its delivery method and price. For a few pennies on the PlayStation Store it would have been a roaring success, but...

Back of the net

Those of you paying attention back in March will recall us getting hot and sweaty over Grip Games’ upcoming PS3 and Vita table football simulator, Foosball 2012. The cross-platform party title is packed with features included PlayStation Move support and online play. In order to build hype for the game’s impending release, Grip...

Can you Adam and Eve it?

CCP Games has kicked off the beta registration process for its upcoming PS3 exclusive DUST 514. The title – which ambitiously ties into PC MMO Eve Online – is set to get a free PSN release this summer, but the developer needs help finalising its code. Eve Online members will be given first priority, followed by attendees...

The Walking Dead hasn’t exactly stumbled out of the blocks. Telltale’s latest episodic adventure — based on the popular comic book series of the same name — has already surpassed one million sales just three weeks after release, making it the fastest selling game in the developer's history. The figures span PSN, XBLA, PC and...

PSN SRPG chit chat

We spoke to Marcus Pukropski from developer SideQuest Studios about turns-based battles, Vita and the prospect of a 60-hour download game. Push Square: Hi, thanks...

Making the jump?

If there’s one Xbox 360 exclusive that makes us green with envy, it’s RedLynx’s Trials Evolution. But with Ubisoft now in control of the Finnish developer, there’s every possibility that the title could hop onto Sony’s platforms. It’s a possibility that Ubisoft has noted itself. Speaking as part of an annual financial...
