192w ago - A few days ago we first heard about the Fat Princess new PS3 DLC dubbed New Pork, and today Sony's Social Media Manager Jeff Rubenstein has shared a video of it below.

To quote: Last week at PAX, I ran into Chris Millar and Craig Leigh from Titan, who demoed the addition to this top-selling PSN game on camera.

Unfortunately, the folks at Penny Arcade are creatures of the night, and it was super dark (you'll see that in a minute) in the Washington State Convention & Trade Center.

Fortunately, Titan scraped together some hi-def footage of the new level, which we edited on top of the walkthrough this morning. Technology, she is wonderful.

So take a look at New Pork in action!

194w ago - Today SCEA Santa Monica Studio's Associate Producer Mike Graham has revealed more details alongside new videos on Gravity Crash for PS3 and PSP.

To quote: Earlier this year, we unveiled one of the newest additions to the PSN line-up, Gravity Crash for PS3, and were thrilled with all the positive responses it received. So, you can only imagine how excited we were to make the announcement during GamesCom in Cologne that we will be releasing this retro-chic title on the PSP as well!

Please take a look at a brand new Blog post from Stewart from JAW -- developers of Gravity Crash -- for a closer look at how both titles came about and what you can expect to see in both versions of Gravity Crash.

This is Stewart at JAW, developers of PSN and PSP super-retro title Gravity Crash. The guys at SCEE asked me kindly to write a post about the game, so here it is.

Back in 07, myself and Dave Parsons (project lead) were sat in a coffee shop and a long conversation ensued on all the things we loved about gaming in the 80s.

Pixel perfect collision detection, that sense of tactile movement, simple controls, the richness of things to do but with less buttons needed...

194w ago - New information has been released on the various gadgets or 'toys' you will be able to play with in the upcoming game from Ubisoft, Assassin's Creed II, as follows:

Coins - Assassin's Creed II will feature an economic system allowing you to apparently pickpocket anyone you see and buy extra knives and other objects throughout the game. Ezio also has the ability to throw some coins into the crowd and watch people scramble to pick them, allowing a very juicy time to escape.

Poison - Ezio will be able to acquire poison to use on his hidden blades. The poison eventually kills the target (after a minute or so), but until such a time, the target goes insane, and will babble with madness, trash around and lash out at people and guards.

Smoke Bombs - These were first seen in a preview the developers of the game created at which time they used them to blind the guards and quickly run away.

The toys can also be combined in various ways. Poison a guard and have a crowd of people gather around to watch the show. Then throw some coins on the ground and watch them scramble to pick them up while crazy-pants beats them to a pulp. This creates a nice little distraction, allowing you to sneak past the guards.

These toys are confirmed as being available, in addition...

195w ago - From the enrollment page to the tier tree along with available skills and items, it seems the MAG PS3 BETA is full of leaks lately.

Below is a list of skills and items you can buy from earning points in Sony's new upcoming 256-person shooter M.A.G., courtesy of "Beta" from NextGenUpdate.com (linked above).
