The Uncharted 3 hype train has officially left the station and there’s no stopping it now. This year’s Spike Video Game Awards ended the night with the ultimate closure with the full reveal of the Uncharted 3’s announcement trailer, concluding an epic evening of mouth watering trailers for Mass Effect 3, Resistance 3 and Kratos entering the realm of Outworld seeking Mortal Kombat with a triumphant (and augmented) bang. Let’s continue the weekend with more reveals and video game celebration, shall we?
Its the season for ice cold weather and for the PlayStation Network to take center stage with digital releases like, LittleBigPlanet: Sackboy’s Prehistoric Moves, X-Men: The Arcade Game and EA’s sandbox superhero title, Prototype. Stack up on your digital PSN simoleons and ring in the digital age with this week’s The Drop.
PlayStation Network
LittleBigPlanet: Sackboy’s Prehistoric Moves — A stand-alone LittleBigPlanet mini-game available through PlayStation Network and designed around the PlayStation Move controller, Sackboy’s Prehistoric Moves lets gamers use the Move to get Sackboy through 10 levels dominated by dinosaurs, where the Evil Big Rex is king.
The player with the PlayStation Move controller leads the charge, flicking switches and triggering platforms to help the other players, using DualShock Controllers, through each level. Leap between Dino heads, use the Move controller to blast aside crates of bubbles, ride dinosaurs through prehistoric cities, and take to the heights of tree canopies—then team up to defeat Big Rex, all while collecting Trophies along the way.
Prototype — Players take control of Alex Mercer – a dark, genetically mutated shape-shifter with no memory of his past, hell-bent on solving the mystery of his existence as he tears through a densely populated New York City moving with Parkour-style fluidity and consuming anything that gets in his way.
X-Men: The Arcade Game — Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Dazzler, Colossus and Nightcrawler must battle through Brotherhood of Evil Mutants in this action-packed beat ’em up based on the comic book franchise. For the first time ever, the arcade action comes home in a complete reproduction of the original hit! The double-screen action has been conformed for more modern widescreen HDTVs, allowing all six mutant heroes to be on-screen at one time.
Prince Of Persia: Warrior Within — Hunted by Dahaka, an immortal incarnation of Fate seeking divine retribution, the Prince embarks upon a path of both carnage and mystery to defy his preordained death. His journey leads to the infernal core of a cursed island stronghold harboring mankind’s greatest fears. Only through grim resolve, bitter defiance and the mastery of deadly new combat arts can the Prince rise to a new level of warriorship — and emerge from this ultimate trial with his life.
Marvel Pinball — Join Spider-Man, Wolverine, Iron Man, and Blade on four pinball tables powered by the dazzling Pinball FX 2 engine. Use your pinball wizardry to save the world from the most notorious super villains, and relive the greatest moments of the classic Marvel Universe in an epic pinball adventure!
PSone Classics – Japan Imports
Galaxy Fight — Number of legends exist throughout the planets of our galaxy that say the Divine Being appears once every millennium. The time is upon us now, and many have converged on the Denius system to greet the Divine Being. Without this god of legend, all is dark and empty. His name is Felden Crais and he knows only one way of doing things. He is neither benevolent nor malevolent, but his power is omnipotent. No one mortal being is more powerful than he.

*PROUD PS+ MEMBER*
the reveal for today was uncharted 3? really? i thought the reveal was going to be separate from any vga announcements.
I’m excited!
So when are we getting SNK fighters and Metal Slug, SECA? Or do you favor overrated butthole 3D lame crap like Uncharted and God of War of King of Fighters and Samurai Shodown?
Marvel pinball is great, but where are all the ps1 classics and psp legacy titles we want?
People come on!
Some of you believe the reveal was Uncharted 3, but how could that be possible?
Think about it, the reveal was going to be on Dec. 12.
Yet Uncharted 3 already was official scheduled weeks ago to be revealed at the VGAs, not the day after the VGAs!
Therefore, there was never a new reveal or they don’t want to announce it!
THE REVEAL WASN’T UNCHARTED 3!
Where was the big sunday reveal????????????? I’ve been up for 24 hours waiting!!!!!!!! Was it next sunday? Did I miss it?????????????????????
Joystiq… Is not Sony. And whatever other website posted the save the date invite are the ones to blame for the confusion. It was an invitation for a reveal to the press and industry insiders. Not the general public. Sonys part in this was that they did not clarify this prior to the date.
Patience… Starhawk, Sly 4, Agent and others will come.
Guys why do you think Gears of War 3 had this ad for the VGA that it was going to schock people! It was going to be released for the PS3 also and we could play agaisnt PS3, 360, and PC users. Microsoft did not want that to happened so I’m guessing they paid a ton of money to Epic Games so it won’t happened anymore. Thats why the Gears of War 3 was not revealed in the VGA and the big Sony announcement did not happened!Coincidence I think not! Curse you Microsoft for not letting games play as one! Lol Just a theory a very good one Lmao!!!
Can we please get game trials to newer games instead of 2 year old ones?
Seems short… Like something is missing, but can place it. Oh well, I’m sure it will come to me… Starts with Playstation for sure…
I know this is not related to the blog Rey, but since you have “contacts” please inform the people running the PS Rewards program that since the “Quests” feature was added, none of the completed quests are shown as complete as well as the progress to next level bar has stalled out. I know its a beta but is has been this way since introduction to the Quests program.
Anyword on Puzzle Quest 2 for the PSN?
Wow, the comments in this post are so embarrassing. If your entire life is hanging on whether yet another new game is going to be announced or whether it was just the one they announced a couple days before, you need serious help.
There are plenty of good things coming in 2011, don’t get all butthurt now.
STARHAWK BETTER HAVE A CAMPAIGN WITH 4PLAYER SPLIT SCREEN OR ONLINE CO-OP! AND THE MULTIPLAYER MAP SCANNER SHOULD NOT ALLOW YOU TO SEE A HUMAN ..ONLY VEHICLES!!! >:p AND THE STORY BETTER BE GOOD! ITS BIN ABOUT 5 YEARS SINCE WARHAWK (WHICH I MUST SAY IS A GREAT GAME THAT COULDVE BEEN FANTASTICE IF THERE WAS A CAMPAIGN AND THE MAP SCANNER WOULDNT SCAN HUMANS MAKING HEN EXTREAMELY VUNERABLE TO ALL THE WARHAWKS IN THE AIR AND TANKS ON THE GROUND ..SMH)..THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TIME FOR YOU GUYS IN INCOGNITO TO IMPLIMENT THIS IN A GAME.I and ALL THE LOYAL PS3 GAMERS DESERVE AND EXPECT NOTHING LESS! THANK YOU :)(COFFEE WOULD BE THE REASON THIS IN ALL CAPS BTW)
Im really excited for the XMEN arcade! Uncharted 3 offcially has me stoked for next november! oh and type for prototype- ACTIVSION published prototype, not EA.
Freakin’ Marvel Pinball, excellent, the last table Zen put out, I finally got around getting it, is the best one so far, hope these Marvel tables are good as well :)
Considering this metagame uses mathematically irrelevant ways of ranking the countries (Finland in 2nd? Really?), I’d say this post is pretty useless.
Instead of making a metagame that makes no sense, why not patch in a way to view any statistics what so ever about my own actual single player campaign?
I’m still trying to figure out how I track kills, headshots, exploded cars, and more importantly…LOOT. You make 2 trophies for getting all the loot, but no actual way to track the look nor a way to go back and get the loot you missed since campaigns end the second you cross the finish line.
Patch your game before you brag about how cool the lamer parts of it are.
Prototype, will there be a trial for PS+ members?
xmen arcade…hell yes
I think it’s unprofessional to not even reply to anyone concerning the PS3 release. If you guys were lying to us, or if it was indeed Uncharted 3, come out and say it already.
If prototype is above $19.99 its a fail. Can get it in stores for $20 or less
the reveal was not uncharted 3. it was a game called “infected”.. it will come out in 2013.. its horror type of game. looks like a resdential evil/silent hill type of game.. Its a new sony franchise ip.. thats all we know so far..
mcbuttz78. .. vp of psn legionaires
Um their twitter already confirmed it was Uncharted 3, dude. The 12/12 thing was for the media press conference on Uncharted 3, not for an announcement here.
@127 no it was not uncharted 3… the press found out uncharted 3 had a trailer.. there new ip is a game called “infected” which is ps3 exclusive which will drop in 2013. If you dont want to trust that then dont.
I didnt say anythimg about a annoucment date.. there twitter is talking about mass effect 2 not uncharted 3.. They said new ip when means new franchise, uncharted 3 is not a new franchise bro..
mcbuttz78-vp of psn legionaires
Damn to much good stuff. I’ll be picking up Marvel Pinball, PoP, and the X-Men arcade game.
When in the world are we EVER going to get Vagrant Story PSOne Classic in the PSN Store? It’s been out in Japan and Europe for over a year, now! I want to play it handheld.
Any Demos being released?
Imagine that….. Sony lets us down (again). Where’s the reveal?
I hope Santa brings me a different gaming console. I’m tired of Sony and it’s broken promises.
So hyped for X-Men.
Galaxy Fight?!? Oh my god, I remember how much I used to love that game on my Saturn!
