It’s been a fairly quiet week, all things considered, despite the rush of EVO 2011 coverage, a lucrative new PSN PLAY annual promotion, and word that Sucker Punch Productions is officially joining the SCE World Wide Studios family. I’ve also been hearing considerable interest in PlayStation Home’s new Dead Island zombie survival quiz. Have you tried it?
Eagle-eyed readers may have also spotted the news that Resistance 3 has gone gold. To whet your appetite, be sure to watch Rey‘s new Resistance 3 dev diary that details passive and active abilities for multiplayer.
