Best of Playstation Network Vol 1 Announced


8776635178_398154a608_z

Sony has announced that they are releasing a collection of the best games offered on the PSN in one, physical package.  The package, titled Best of PlayStation Network Vol 1, features When Vikings Attack, Sound Shapes, Fat Princess, and my personal favorite, Tokyo Jungle.  The bundle will be available in stores June 25th for $39.99 for the PlayStation 3, and speaking of collections, the Jak and Daxter Collection will be coming to the PSVita June 18th for $29.99.  In case you haven’t heard me say it before, which is unlikely because I’ve said it numerous times, Tokyo Jungle is by far one of the best games I’ve ever played.  The total bundle would save you $15 as opposed to buying the games seperatly on the PSN, but honestly Tokyo Jungle pays for most of that cost.

What Time Is It? Regular Time!


atexplorelogovert

Ok, stupid article title, I’ll give you that, but let’s move on to the news shall we?  Wayforward has announced two new games in development based off of hit Cartoon Network shows Adventure Time and Regular Show.  Adventure Time: Explore The Dungeon Because I Don’t Know has the player exploring the secret dungeon beneath the Candy Kingdom and will not only feature multiple selectable characters, but also four person co-op and the actual voice actors from the show.  If you read my review on the last Adventure Time game, you’d know that, while a very pleasing experience for a fan of the show, in the actual gameplay department it left me wanting more, especially for the price tag that they put it at.  Hopefully Wayforward learned something and will be able to not only offer more to the game besides amazing sprite work, but also deliver it at a reasonable price.  But that’s not the only game they’ve announced, right along side it is a game announcement for it’s co-hit show, Regular Show.  Regular Show: Mordecai and Rigby in 8-bit Land finds our two heroes transported inside their favorite video games and in desperate need of a way out.  No release date has been given but they are said to be released later this fall, with the Regular Show game landing on the 3DS, and the Adventure Time game landing on Wii U, Xbox 360, PS3, PC, and 3DS.  As with the last game, Wayforward has stated that the creators of both shows are working very closely with Wayforward on their respective titles.

No Sleeping On The Job With This Month’s Playstation Plus Service


8706058576_c562a7b181_z

The May preview for the PlayStation Plus Instant Game Collection has dropped, and they’ve finally listened to a large out cry from the fans.  First up on the list is Sleeping Dogs, I personally have no experience or knowledge of the game, but if so many people asked for it one has to believe it’s good.  Not only will you get the full game with PlayStation Plus, but you’ll also get three “premium” DLC packs, including the Retro Triad pack, Red Envelope pack, and Street Racer pack.  Also coming later this month is Knytt Underground, which is Cross-Buy enabled for PS3 and Vita, Germinator, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, and Pinball Arcade, which is also Cross-Buy enabled.  Looks like the Vita is getting some pretty hefty support this month.  Along with the May preview, we of course get the weekly preview, showing that Sleeping Dogs will be the first game to drop, along with a discount on the Papo & Yo bundle, which includes the game and the soundtrack.  As for the games leaving the Instant Game Collection there is, in order, Demons Souls, Megaman 9 & 10 combo pack, Tekken 6 PSP, Darksiders, and Zombie Tycoon 2, so get them while they’re hot folks.

Blade Wolf On The Prowl May 17th


character02bladewolf

The third piece of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance DLC will be hitting both the PSN and XBLM May 17th.  For those not in the know, this dlc has the player in control of Blade Wolf, robo-hound pal of both Raiden and Jetstream Sam.  The DLC will take place during the time before Blade Wolf fights Raiden, back when he was working under Mistral.  It’s a little difficult imagining how this DLC will play and control, at least with Sam we could figure he’d play similar to Raiden, but this thing is a damned robotic wolf with a chainsaw tail!! Regardless of whether or not we can understand how it’s going to control, if anyone can make it feel amazing, it’s Platinum Games.

Go “Ga Ga” Over the new Grand Theft Auto V Trailers

Grand Theft Auto V will be released on September 17, 2013.

Jak and Daxter Collection Goes Portable in June


Jak-and-Daxter-Collection-Release-Date

As suggested before by the ESRB listing, the Jak and Daxter collection will indeed be getting a PlayStation Vita version.  The portable version will include all three main games, feature full trophy support (but not share trophies with the PS3 version), touch based controls for some mini-games, “authentically reproduced graphics”, and a reasonable price tag of $29.99.  I’m not entirely sure how the “authentically reproduced graphics” will turn out, because I don’t know if it’s reproducing the HD of the PS3 version or the original graphics from the PS2 era.  Either way I’ll still likely pick up this game, but not at release, that whole June-July-August stretch of months is looking dangerous for my wallet.
