- Coming to PSN this Week — Freekscape: Escape From Hell — An offbeat gem worth a close look. As a demon, you can skewer enemies on your pitchfork, then use the shish kabobs in creative ways to solve puzzles and crush other beasties. This Mini can play on either PS3 or PSP for double the pleasure.
- Coming to PSN this Week: Flower Soundtrack — Enjoy the sweet sounds of Flower with this dirt-cheap downloadable — it’s only three bucks. We hear that “Sailing on the Wind” is a standout track, but Tweet your favorite to @SonyPlayStation.
- Coming to PSN this Week: King of Pool for PSP — For me, the standout feature is the inclusion of fantasy, non-regulation billiards tables, plus a bevy of modes including Eight Ball, Nine Ball, Four Ball, Snooker, and One Cushion Billiard.
- The Show Throws Out the Season’s First Pitch with Opening Day Trailer — Major League Baseball started 2010 with a bang, and MLB 10 The Show celebrates with this opening day video. Who’s got the Big League Chew?
- UK Q&A: LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 — Our own Jem Alexander interviews Jonathan Smith of Traveller’s Tales. A key quote: “It’s a big game compared to other Lego games.” That’s a bold statement!
- God of War III Exclusive: “Even Gods Cry” Music Video and Interview! — Protip: the interview with Noah Belson and Matthew Cappiello of the Turtlenecks is full of win. Sample: “It’s as if some divine force placed the seed of an idea in my head, then poured thought juice on that seed and then that seed grew into a mighty oak, inside my head.” Yeah!
- Two Tales, One RPG: Hexyz Force Coming to PSP — This is serious business for RPG fans. Hexyz Force’s turn-based combat cuts deeper with Divine Aspects, and the dual storylines beef up the replay value. Worth a look.
- Aliens and Predators Descend on PlayStation Home for Huge Community Event + This Week’s Content Updates — Aliens, Predators, and community events dominate the news in Home this week. But the revamped Irem Festival Square is worth a look, and there are plenty of new virtual items to check out.
- ModNation Racers PSP: Props and Obstacles Exposed — This combat kart racer controls like greased lightning on the PSP, but the ability to build custom racetracks on the go is a killer bonus. See how it’s done with this tutorial!
- Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse Q&A with Telltale Games — Our beloved PlayStation.Blog teammate Chris Morell’s final video interview! Dry those tears, though, because he got Sam & Max’s writer-director to open up about this comedic adventure’s debut on PSN.
- PlayStation Comics Store Update — Zombies vs. Robots? I’ve been missing out! Also check out Vampire Hunter D Vol. 1, plus Markosia’s Ritual — which, incidentally, sounds like my kind of comic.
- NEW PSP “Big Boss” Pack for METAL GEAR SOLID: PEACE WALKER — Kojima Productions always strives for perfection, and this ultra-limited “Big Boss” PSP pack is no exception. Included are a roomy 4GB Memory Stick, camo-infused PSP-3000 (gorgeous!), carrying case, PSN movie voucher, and of course Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (UMD). And $199 ain’t bad at all for this highly collectible pack.
- The Tester Finale – Episode 8 Coming Later Today; See Who Wins the Job as the Next PlayStation Game Tester! — No spoilers, but the season finale of The Tester is a doozy. It’s all down to Amped, Cyrus, and Nauseous in a final series of punishing mini-games. Who walks away with the gold? NO SPOILERS PLEASE!
- PlayStation Store Update — Highlights this week include the 2010 FIFA demo, The Incredibles for LittleBigPlanet, and the launch of Freekscape and King of Pool. But the sales are CRAZY: Patapon 2 and LocoRoco 2 for $7.99(!). and Killzone 2 DLC and Killzone: Liberation (PSP) on deep discount.
- PlayStation Network Video Content Update — The Lord of the Rings Trilogy in HD steals the show this week. You can unlock an exclusive LOTR Dynamic Theme if you pick it up in HD by 4/15. The cult-classic 1978 animated Ralph Bakshi version is now available as well, and worth a look for hardened LOTR fans (or just fans of trippy 70’s cartoons).
- Blade Kitten: Origins and Inspirations — This update, penned by the venerable “Space Captain” Steve, is a must-read for graphic novel geeks. Anime references are dropped!
