Sony has announced via their Playstation blog that, along with the already announced games being added to the Instant Game Collection next week, three new titles are taking the place of three older titles.  inFamous 2, Little Big Planet 2 and Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One are stepping down from their long standing place in the IGC after a full year, only to be replaced by three more big titles.  Uncharted 3, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and Little Big Planet Karting are being added to the IGC alongside tuesday’s regular update, which can include Saints Row the Third, Mechanarium, Zero’s Escape: Virtues Last Reward (which comes highly recommended from both Steve and I), or Gods Eater Burst.

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.

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.

Prepare Your Sacrifices On April 16th


8425745460_36ba29e418_z

Soul Sacrifice, the Monster Hunter like game that’s all about trading body parts and partners for phenomenal powers. comes out at the end of the month for the PlayStation Vita.  In case you can’t wait to get the game, or want to try it out without going through the long process of getting the Japanese demo, you can download the Soul Sacrifice demo on April 16th.  The demo covers the first part of the game, showing you the intro to the story and the first couple of missions, essentially the same as the Japanese demo.  Soul Sacrifice is also Keiji Inafune’s first big title since the forming of his own company, which leads us to ask “Mr. Inafune, what are you trying to tell us with this game?  When are you going to revive Megaman in a new, non-copyright infringing manner? And where the fuck is that animal-pirate-romance of the three kingdoms game you showed off at E3 2 years ago!?”
