Zuma Available Today for PS3 on Sony's PlayStation Network

[PS3 News]

PopCap Games Vice President of Video Game Platforms Greg Canessa announced the next in a multi-title publishing deal with Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE) to bring their games to the PS3 via PlayStation Network today:

Today I'm pleased to announce the availability of our next title, the action puzzle smash hit http://www.popcap.com/games/zuma, on PSN! Zuma is one of our biggest and most popular games of all time, and it's one of those games that truly appeals to hardcore and casual gamers alike.

It's just the right blend of action and strategy, with a healthy dose of skill and a bit of luck as well. I'm very happy with how great the game looks on the PS3 and how well the controls map to the PS3 controller.

And, like the case with Bejeweled 2, Zuma includes an absolute ton of gameplay - 13 temples, more than 50 levels of puzzle fun, Adventure and Gauntlet modes, unlockables and more. The game looks and sounds great in HD with Dolby 5.1 surround sound, and includes exclusive features like Trophy support and PSP remote play, which you'll only find on PSN.

In collaboration with our partners at SOE, the team has worked hard to bring our biggest franchises and most popular games - Bejeweled 2 and Zuma - to you first, for your immediate enjoyment on PSN. Both of these games are puzzle classics that everyone should have in their collection, and frankly, never get old.

I am really excited that we were able to get this second title out to you guys so quickly after the release of Bejeweled 2. The team is hard at work on the other three titles we've announced - Peggle, Feeding Frenzy and Heavy Weapon - and we plan to release those to you later this year.

In the meantime, kick back, relax and download a game of Zuma tonight. Enjoy!

well look at that, i've bought a ps3 wich cost 400€ to play zuma...

I know, but look at it this way... it's cheap insurance. It doesn't cost Sony much of anything to allow little games like that on the PS3. And then they can boast that "the PS3 does everything" from blockbusters to little throwaways.

Given the price, they have to position the PS3 as the "everything" system...

i know that, but sony, when i say sony, i say ps3, its starting to focus on psn store, wich i think that its not going to help sony, ps3 it's becoming more like a media center, buy movies, buy little games like zume... and it's starting to lose that image that playstation always brough to us, a powerful gaming system, i know that times are changing, but sony is changing the playstation brand to something else than a gaming system, at least its what i think.
