To quote: We're very excited to be launching the Pinball Arcade on the Sony Entertainment Network.

We have four great tables running on the most accurate pinball physics engine ever developed. What's more, The Pinball Arcade will offer players the ability to buy our game (and any DLC tables) once and own it on both the PS3 and PS Vita versions!

The PS Vita version supports the front and rear touchscreen and will be a great way for people to play our game while they're on the go. We can't wait for the game to be launched on April 10th.

We can confirm that the game will run at a smooth 60 frames per second, and the lighting effects and real-time reflections make the graphics look stunning. This is the best pinball simulation we've created so far!

If you're a fan of either real pinball or video pinball, we're pretty confident that you're going to love our game. FarSight has been making digital pinball games for years!

We have received overwhelming support by the mechanical pinball community - and these are the people who insist on realism in their...

59w ago - Today Sony's Jawad Ashraf of the PlayStation Store Team is here with this weeks European PSN Game Store updates, as follows:

I Am Alive, Wheels of Destruction and two bundles of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire are this week's main PlayStation 3 titles.

I Am Alive, is a believable post-apocalyptical tale, there are no supernatural threats, just an everyman who faces the permanent insecurity of a now decaying and hazardous world and humanity's darkest inclinations. Will you hang on to your humanity and help strangers or are you ready to sacrifice others in order to survive?

Keep it going with your rage fits in Asura's Wrath's new Episode 15.5 DLC or, if getting angry isn't your thing then, how about strutting your stuff in some new Trials for Ninja Gaiden 3? New customisations and a new weapons all see release for Ninja Gaiden 3 today.

Dampierre finally becomes available to the wider public for Soul Calibur V so now you too can prance around with your curly mustache (not to be confused with the other game that refers to a curly mustache).

Check out the complete list of all the DLC and other content below. For Plus content click here and don't forget, the Spring Savings continue on, with new titles added this week - check them out here.

60w ago - Sony's Ross McGrath of the PlayStation Store Team is here with the European PSN updates for the week of April 4th today, as follows below:

Hey guys, sorry we're a bit late to market this week with our content update, but hopefully you'll feel as though it's worth waiting for and very much in keeping with the quality you've come to expect this year.

It's always a good feeling to give away content in a single month that more than covers the cost of the annual subscription.

So by now, if you've headed over to the SCEA update you will see they're getting Shift 2: Unleashed and Shank 2 in their update this month, courtesy of the lovely folks at EA.

Here, it's no different, as EA's 145 car, 36 track monster of a racing title is now yours at no cost, alongside the ultra-violent and ultra-awesome grindhouse 2D platform-brawler.

Don't forget there are a huge number of additional cars and a couple of extremely useful time-saver packs available for Shift 2: Unleashed, all available from the PlayStation Store.

The PS one Classic this month is Silent Hill, which I'm sure you'll agree is a proper classic title - never before has radio static been so terrifying. Unfortunately you'll have to wait just one more short week until it's...
