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 PSP on January 15.
We're almost through the roster of pre-holiday big-hitters, but next 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 III, 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, Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition, F1 2012, Jet Set Radio, and loads more.
NexNext 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.
Next week's a good 'un for new releases, with lovelies including curious spin-off Persona 4 Arena, music 'em up Sound Shapes, the PC editions of The Amazing Spider-Man and Hero Academy, jetpacking shooter Hybrid, space 4X game Legends of Pegasus, and other doodads.
