31w ago - Sony Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida has posted up a video today showcasing how to play like a pro on Treasure Park for PlayStation Vita below.

To quote: Hi everyone! I'll let you into a secret. When I'm not busy in my role as President of Worldwide Studios I live a secret double life!

I'm a pro treasure hunter and was even at one point ranked number one in the world. My specialist field is an app only available on PS Vita called Treasure Park (although I can also be found searching for Drake's Fortune in the Golden Abyss).

I'm always on the lookout for new challengers, so today I'd like to share some of my experience with fledgling treasure hunters around the globe so that one day, you too might become a world-class pro.





Step 1:

When hunting for treasure, it's very important to bear in mind the concept of pieces. There are four different pieces hidden on a sheet; at the start, you're told the colors of where some parts of these pieces lie. This information is very important!

Let's focus on the bombs. In this example shown above, blue and yellow are risky colors.

Step 2:

There are two bombs lurking somewhere among the blue squares and...

37w ago - Sony European Product Manager Mayumi Donovan has announced that beginning today PS Vita owners can download the free PlayStation Vita Treasure Park application alongside a video of it in action below!

To quote: Hi everyone. I hope you're in the mood to hunt for some hidden gaming booty, because I'm pleased to announce that Treasure Park for PlayStation Vita is out today.

Treasure Park is a fun puzzle app to while away the hours and it's exclusively available for PS Vita. The premise is simple - create your own puzzle sheet and hide your treasure and medals.

Friends will be sniffing around hunting for treasure, so make sure you plant some well-placed bombs to trap them. With the touchscreen it's quick and easy to set up and get going.

Once you've created your puzzle sheet, you can share it with your fellow fortune hunters using the "near" app or find other puzzles to play and collect treasures. The more you play, the better chance you'll have at getting a high score. You can also team up with your friends to earn big scores. See the trailer below for a closer look.

57w ago - Sony Product Manager Mayumi Donovan has announced today that Paint Park, Treasure Park and Wake Up Club are coming to PS Vita for free!

To quote: PlayStation Vita owners can look forward to a trio of free applications to help you make the most of the handheld console's unique features, the first of which will be available to download this week, on April 18.

Turning the PS Vita's impressive 5" OLED screen into a sketch pad, Paint Park is fun for beginners and expert artists alike.

Using PS Vita's touchscreen to make and share drawings; you can doodle, sketch and scribble quickly and easily with the virtual markers and on-screen colour palette.

The PS Vita's front and rear cameras can play a part too, as you can take pictures and add your own creative imaginings to them.

Simple and fun Paint Park can also be a socially rewarding as users can share their work and even compete with up to five friends in the online multiplayer via the Ad Hoc mode.

This summer we'll be releasing Treasure Park, an application that allows you to create your own puzzles to challenge your friends with. It's a great way to connect with friends and other PS Vita users, as you can use the near application and 3G to find puzzles to play and share your own, wherever you are.

80w ago - Telltale Games Designer Mark Darin has shared some new video footage today announcing that Jurassic Park returns to Isla Nublar this coming Tuesday on PSN.

To quote: Unless you've been under a rock for the last 65 million years, then you probably already know that we've been hard at work crafting Jurassic Park: The Game.

But did you realize that it's only a matter of days until you can find yourself back on the Isla Nublar?

On November 15th, you'll be able to download all four episodes of Jurassic Park: The Game from PlayStation Network. That is, if you have what it takes to go face to giant toothy face with a massive T-Rex!

We've created a game like nothing you've ever played before. Jurassic Park is about dinosaurs, but as fans of the movie know, it's also about much more than that. It's about the people that encounter the dinosaurs and how their lives change because of it. It's about nature and what happens when we don't respect it.





The story runs parallel to the movie and follows park veterinarian, Gerry Harding and his Daughter, as they get left behind on the island when the storm hits.

They cross paths with a mysterious woman named Nima who was hired to retrieve...
