158w ago - Today Mediatonic's Co-Founder & Creative Director Paul Croft has announced that the Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess PSP and PS3 soundtrack has arrived, free of charge, via PlayStation Blog!

To quote: Since we released Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess a few weeks ago we've had a lot of kind comments and great feedback on the game - we're super excited the game is now live and people are playing it!

The soundtrack for the game has gone down well so I'm really happy to tell you all we're releasing this as a free-download on the PlayStation.blog today!

All of the game soundtracks are based on iconic pieces of classic music given fresh life and played on the organ - the Duke's instrument of choice.

The first five tracks were composed by the talented Andrew Bertoni with the final two tracks from the excellent Dean Claydon. They've put together some special remixed and extended versions for this giveaway:

• "Toccata and Fugue in Demonic" (Bach: Toccata and Fugue in D minor) (right click and "save as" to download)
• "In the Hall of the Laughing Duke" (Grieg: In the Hall of the Mountain King) (right click and "save as" to download)

165w ago - Mediatonic Co-Founder & Creative Director Paul Croft has shared a video announcement showcasing Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess! for PS3 and PSP, which is available beginning today on PSN.

To quote: Today we're super pumped to announce that our first PlayStation Mini, Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess!, goes live today on the PlayStation Store!

For those who aren't familiar with the game, here's a short summary.

Monsters have (probably) stolen your princess! Those fiendish and misshapen fools have (as far as we know) made off with your true love -- and they haven't even had the good grace to leave a shred of evidence to follow. Only sweeping accusations and devastating style can save her from the fate she will (possibly) face now!

Available exclusively from the PlayStation Store, MPSMP comes with a full story mode, six unique stages, awesome animated cutscenes and an incredible soundtrack the Duke himself would approve of. With 24 levels of monster pounding justice, this is (probably) the best deal ever.

Check out the trailer to see the game in action:





The game is available on both PS3 and PSP worldwide for the price of $4.99,...

165w ago - Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Limited Content Producer Katy Macdonald has revealed today that The People Vs Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess is hitting PSN for both PSP and PS3.

To quote: Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess is a greatly anticipated minis title developed by Mediatonic, available to download from PlayStation Store on 22 April 2010.

The humorous platform title features The Duke, an aristocratic demon who is convinced that some sneaky monsters have kidnapped his lady love from his castle.

One guy who knows more about this exciting new game than anyone is Paul Croft, co-founder and director of games for Mediatonic, and we're giving you the chance to ask him anything you like.

You can either head over to the official PlayStation Forums at community.eu.playstation.com and leave your questions there, or add them in the comments on this post. On 1 May 2010, we will (probably) pick your best questions and put them to Paul.

Check back soon to see if your question was used.

167w ago - Today Mediatonic's Co-Founder & Creative Director Paul Croft has shared a new PS3 and PSP trailer video for Monsters Probably Stole My Princess.

To quote: We are very excited to announce we've confirmed a launch date for our PSP Minis game Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess! The game will be released on the 22nd of April at the price of £3.49.

We're also very proud to show the official trailer for Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess!

The game is an upwards-scrolling platformer in which the player must chase down giant fleeing monsters and subdue them by crashing into them three times. More details are available on our previous post on the PlayStation blog.

April 22nd is later than we've announced previously - since I last posted we've been working closely with Sony to resolve a few issues with running the game on the PS3. These are now all sorted and we're super excited about the launch of the game!





Thanks again for your support and feedback!

178w ago - Mediatonic's Co-Founder & Creative Director Paul Croft has announced today that Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess! will be hitting PSP on PSN soon, as follows:

I'm posting here on the PlayStation Blog about Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess!, our brand new title developed specifically for the new PSP Minis service.

In the game the player controls a massively powerful (and slightly unhinged) aristocratic demon known as 'The Duke' who wakes up to discover his Princess is missing.

Without a single clue to go on, he can only assume that monsters were (probably) responsible, and sets out to track her down by beating up monsters largely at random in the hope that it will (somehow) reunite him with his beloved.

At the center of the game is the Story mode, which follows the progress of The Duke as he beats down monsters across six different levels in the quest for his Princess.

The real challenge of the game comes into play in Score Attack mode, which contains eighteen unique levels, each unlocked by breaking target scores in the preceding levels. The Duke is a flamboyant character who likes to reward himself based on how stylishly he managed to complete each level and destroy his opponent.

Through moving the Duke from platform to platform...
