14w ago - Sony Santa Monica Studio Lead Game Designer Seth Killian announced that Kat and Emmet join the Battle Royale today, and will be free for two weeks!

Below are the details, as follows: We're happy to follow up PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale's win for "Best Fighting Game" at the DICE Awards (the awards where all of the voting is done by other games industry pros), with a gift to all the players that have supported the project from the start.

I hear from a lot of you guys, and I know you've been waiting patiently... but that wait ends today! We've got two new PlayStation All-Stars joining the Battle Royale: Kat from Gravity Rush, and Emmett Graves from Starhawk.

Any fighting fan will tell you how much it means to have new characters joining a game, but it's even better because - as promised - these DLC characters are totally free for two weeks!

Wait, "free for two weeks" sounds funny... Does that mean if I download them, after two weeks is up I have to pay? Nope. You have a two week window to download the DLC. If you do, the characters are yours free, forever and ever. You can play them online, offline, upside...

16w ago - Sega of America Associate Brand Manager Aaron Webber has shared a video confirming that Bayonetta for PS3 bewitches PlayStation Network today.

Below are the details, to quote: It's been a good month for Platinum Games and SEGA titles.

Just a few weeks ago saw the release of Anarchy Reigns on PS3; later today will mark the digital release of one of the finest action games ever created. Bayonetta is coming to PSN!

If you have yet to try this iconic action game from the mind of director Hideki Kamiya, your time has come as Bayonetta is debuting at $19.99. Of course, Bayonetta truly shines when you see it in action.

So here's a trip back to the year 2010, when a certain Launch Trailer was just arriving...





Bayonetta is the story of the last remaining member of an ancient clan called the Umbra Witches, a group that has kept the balance between light, dark, and chaos for hundreds of years. Bayonetta awakens after 500 years of sleep to find herself in a world she no longer recognizes, with no clues to her past or how she got where she is.

Her awakening sparks a chain of events that soon reaches cataclysmic proportions....

17w ago - EXOR Studios Co-founder Pawel Lekki has shared a video announcing that Zombie Driver HD crashes into PlayStation Network today!

To quote: This is Pawel Lekki - co-founder of EXOR Studios. I'm very happy to finally be able to tell you that Zombie Driver HD is coming out on the PlayStation Network in Europe today, priced at £7.99/€9.99.

Some of you may remember that I announced the game to be "coming soon" quite a while ago  and I'd like to assure you that we spent all that extra time on making sure that the PlayStation 3 version is polished in every detail.

It took us a lot longer to finish the game than we originally expected, but in return we were able to add a lot more content. Check out the trailer below to see what I'm talking about:





Zombie Driver HD on the PS3 is the first console version of the game rendered in native 1920x1080 resolution with no compromise. We wanted to make sure that the game looks really good in Full HD and a simple "up-scale" of our 2D art was out of the question.

Instead we took the...

17w ago - Double Fine Productions Senior Designer JP LeBreton has shared a video today inviting fans to venture into The Cave, which is out today on PlayStation Network!

To quote: Greetings! The team here at Double Fine Productions is pleased to announce that The Cave, our latest game led by legendary adventure game designer Ron Gilbert, comes out today on PSN.

In The Cave, you'll choose three characters - from a possible seven - to descend into the depths of an ancient and mysterious cave, each of them in search of something they desire above all else.

This is no ordinary ancient and mysterious cave, however: The Cave happens to be alive, watching their every move, narrating their stories, doling out wisdom and mockery in equal measure. What could his true motive possibly be? He's not telling. "Mysterious" just means "not telling".

Depending on which characters you choose, you'll puzzle your way through a Victorian mansion, a museum from the far future, a desert island, a nuclear missile silo, and much more... all buried deep within The Cave. See? We're being mysterious too!





We've designed the puzzles such that one player can solve them...

17w ago - NIS America Marketing Coordinator Ryan Phillips has announced that Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories hits PlayStation Network today with details below, as follows:

Greetings all! We're super excited that Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories is coming to PSN later today as a PS2 Classic! I'm dropping by today to talk briefly about the title and to answer any questions you may have for us!

First let's talk about the Disgaea in general for those that are new to the series. Disgaea is a turn-based strategy role-playing game series that is well known for its over-the-top attacks that give you the ability to inflict millions of points of damage on your enemies, its cast of hilarious and memorable characters, and lastly its deep customizable gameplay and seemingly endless replayability. If you're an RPG fan and new to the series, this is an opportune chance to try it out on your PS3 for only $9.99!

Here is the story in a nutshell: a mighty Overlord named Zenon (one of my favorite characters) has cursed the land and now Veldime is transforming into a nasty Netherworld. Memories are sterilized, bodies demonized, and the world is generally falling into chaos.

The only one unaffected is a young man, named Adell. He stands up to fight the curse, but of course things never go as planned. Enter...
