Sony's bringing the PlayStation Network down for a spot of regular maintenance on Monday, April 15. It'll be down for 12 hours across the day and evening, disabling some features, but you'll still be able to play online if you sign into PSN any time between now and then.
Next week's bulging bag of new releases includes the brosome Gears of War: Judgment, intriguing GTA-ish LEGO City Undercover, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, the PC edition of Trials Evolution, zombie shooter The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct, Zen Pinball 2 for Wii U, and Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon on 3DS.

The next PlayStation Network downtime for routine maintenance is coming on Thursday, Sony announced today. While the PlayStation Store and Account Management will be down entirely, you'll still be able to play games online as long as you do one simple thing.
Next week's another quiet one for new releases, headlined by the rebooted DmC: Devil May Cry. Microsoft and Nintendo are keeping their downloadable releases under wraps, for reasons unknown, so we may have a pleasant surprise or two coming but for now, the highlights are DmC, scare 'em up Corpse Party: Book of Shadows, competitive Vita alarm clock Wake Up Club, and the BioShock Ultimate Rapture Edition.
The PlayStation Network has made huge inroads on Xbox Live Arcade over the years, now looking the better online service in many ways, but it has been missing a way to access the store over the cyberweb. Thankfully, Sony is launching a site to browse and buy games in your browser this month, having debuted such a thing in Europe in December.
Invited to a party! Ooh, how exciting! Your party frock is so pretty and you've brought such a thoughtful gift, but... why do half the guests have blank faces? And why are they eating people? There's no such party, of course, this is purely a lie I've told to introduce the news that publisher Xseed has confirmed horrifying PSP adventure sequel Corpse Party: Book of Shadows will hit next week.
We're almost through the roster of pre-holiday big-hitters, but this week will be another good'un for new releases. We'll see Hitman: Absolution, Persona 4 Golden, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, PlanetSide 2, the PC editions of Scribblenauts Unlimited and Assassin's Creed 3, and more.
Lawks, will you look at that! This week brings that most rare and precious of new releases: a new PlayStation 2 game, in the form of PES 2013. Oh, and something named Halo 4 is coming out. It's probably popular if there are at least four, unless this is comedy The Naked Gun-style naming.
Huzzah PSP owners, you're all invited to a party! XSEED Games is giving a reading from the Book of Shadows and bids you join it. Actually, that's a lie I told to introduce this story. In truth, XSEED has announced it's bringing anime-inspired horror-adventure sequel Corpse Party: Book of Shadows westwards this winter for PSP. No one wants to invite you to their party.
This week brings a big bag of new releases, including the console editions of Resident Evil 6, multiplayer medieval murderfest War of the Roses, NBA 2K13, and Pokemon Black & White Version 2.
Ooh, doesn't Christmas start earlier each year? The holiday season flood seems to kick off next week, with heaps of new games coming. These include the astonishing Tokyo Jungle, a little-known expansion pack by the name of World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria, jiggle 'em up Dead or Alive 5, create-a-jump 'em up LittleBigPlanet Vita, kick 'em ups FIFA Soccer 13 and PES 2013, and the long-awaited PC edition of Castle Crashers. Start decking the halls, gang.
Next week is an absolute stonker for new releases, bringing Borderlands 2, Torchlight II, F1 2012, Jet Set Radio, and loads more. For those unaware, Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition was supposed to be out Tuesday, but was delayed until November 30.
Next week's a fairly busy one, bringing Joe Danger 2, FTL, Double Dragon: Neon, NHL 13, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition, and heaps more. There's little to put on your shelf in a box, but plenty to download.
