An image promoting the upcoming PlayStation Now service may have given us a better idea of what to expect from its pricing structure. If the prices turn out as shown on the image, we may see streaming PS3 games going for as little as $4.99.
Xbox's Games with Gold program was largely seen as an answer to PlayStation Plus, but the reception hasn't been as warm as it was to Sony's subscription plan. Microsoft's Phil Spencer recently said that Microsoft's service is "fundamentally different," but did say he is working with the team to offer a better line-up.

Live-action trailers are awfully popular these days, and with Infamous: Second Son cresting the horizon, it's apparently time for Sony to take a turn. A new trailer for the open-world action game gives a taste of its anti-superhero dystopia.
Telltale and Gearbox have taken the wraps off of Tales from the Borderlands, the narrative-driven partnership announced last year. In a panel at the SXSW conference over the weekend, the studios outlined the story as told from two perspectives: a con-artist named Fiona and a Hyperion worker named Rhys.
Like Los Angeles in the 1940s, space is full of stars flaring up, burning out, fading away, and dying spectacularly. Which is probably not why N-Fusion has named its space shooter Space Noir, but perhaps it should be? Publisher Unity Games today announced the moody space tale, coming to PC and tablets this summer.
Oh, happy days! Next week will finally bring the launch on Dark Souls II, on consoles at least. We're also seeing the PC and Xbox One launch of Titanfall, Yoshi's New Island for 3DS, TowerFall Ascension on PC and PS4, and oh, some other pretties too.
Destiny of Spirits has been given a release date. The free-to-play social RPG from Q Entertainment will hit Vita on March 25 and will feature a number of changes, based on feedback from last October's closed beta.
Major League Baseball is already in spring training and the regular season will begin in less than a month. So it would make sense that MLB Advanced Media would have its revival of R.B.I. Baseball ready to go around the time teams throw out the first pitch. And sure enough, it appears that R.B.I. Baseball '14 will take the field for Xbox 360, PS3, iOS, and Android on April 10.
Drinkbox Studios announced earlier this week that Guacamelee would hit the ring once more as Guacamelee: Super Turbo Championship Edition on Xbox One, PS4, Wii U, and Xbox 360 with some brand new content and an expanded story. Drinkbox Studios shared details of Guacamelee's newest version, including whether it could potentially reach other platforms, as well.
Twitch is about to become a more crowded place with next week's Xbox One integration. It could also mean more joining the ranks of the Shacknews Chatty community, who has already been enjoying streaming some of their favorite games on Twitch. This week, we check out some Thief gameplay from pixelat3d, while inc77 tries to score some sweet Diablo III and Alice concludes her Dark Souls Nites series.
Here's a compilation of some of the best Shacknews Twitch highlights for the week of March 8, 2014.
If you're a bounty hunter or a Sith Lord, you'll often be on the run, bouncing from one target to the next. But maybe you're just a Jedi Knight that's looking to settle down with a nice little dwelling in the middle of lovely Coruscant. It looks like Star Wars: The Old Republic will give you a chance to live out that dream, with a new trailer teasing the addition of player housing.
Dark Souls 2 will make its long-awaited arrival on Xbox 360 and PS3 next week. However, PC players will have to wait a little while longer, as they wait for an April 25 release date. The slight delay does offer up some time to make sure your PC setup is up to snuff, since Namco Bandai just released the Dark Souls 2 PC requirements.
If you're looking to spend your whole weekend playing games, you'll probably notice time go by a lot faster than normal. That's because this is the weekend to spring forward and set your clocks one hour ahead. Just remember, if you're committing yourself to your PC games, sleep is ultimately for the weak.
This week, Amazon and Green Man Gaming catch you up on some of Sega's best games (mostly Sonic), while GameFly Digital gets you Rockstar games and Get Games gets you loaded once again with 2K Games. If you're looking for something a little more indie, now's a good time to get Rogue Legacy from Steam for a mere five bucks. Check out the full list of games after the break.
