Viva la lucha

Besides being a brilliant pun, Guacamelee! is a potent mix of platforming and brawling, wrapped-up in a cartoon-styled Mexico.

Sick shot

The original Fatal Frame is set to snap the North American PlayStation Network this week, according to the PlayStation Blogcast.

The people behind PlayStation are fired up
