I’m back home from Fantastic Fest in Austin, a relatively new movies and indie games event. My time there this week cemented a couple of things in my brain:
1) The future and present of gaming on PlayStation Network looks really bright. PSN was a sponsor of the Fantastic Fest Arcade, and we brought along games like Journey, PixelJunk 4am and Sidescroller, PAYDAY: The Heist, Retro/Grade, Closure, Sideway, and more. While some of the titles won’t be seen until next year, one of the featured titles, Rochard, will be here in just two days. IGN is a fan.
2) California needs to get its act together when it comes to barbecue. We have meat here, we can get the mesquite. Why can’t we have what Austin has? Not fair.
There are a number of impressions and pics from Fantastic Fest in the links below, and more are yet to be posted, including a couple of our own that you’ll see early this week.

Jeff,
I have been playing Bloodrayne Betrayal, and I keep having a problem with the game freezing on Level 7. I deleted the game and re-downloading it, but it still freezes. I have read around the web about others having the same problem. I am worried about having to turn my PS3 off with the switch on the back, and when it boots up I keep getting the message about the right way to turn it off. Have you heard anything about this, and maybe could you check up with Majesco to see if they might release a patch for it?
Thanks.
do you mind sending along a link to where you saw others having this issue? I can then forward along.
