PlayStation Around The Web: What We Read

The calendar now reads October, though I realized it not from the changing of the weather (it’s still warm here in the Bay Area), but because of the density of new game releases. I’m still exploring the HD remake of ICO, and Dark Souls is already looming in the shadows of a Tuesday release. From the looks of the reviews (some links below), it’s every bit as good as Demon’s Souls, and even more difficult – however that’s possible.

The rest of the new release list will follow later on today, but it also includes Rage, a game I’ve thoroughly enjoyed at events. I’m curious to see what everyone else thinks of it as well.

It’s also a great time for PSN-exclusive games. The links below include stories about Amy, Journey, Sideway: New York, Rochard, Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken, and Elemental Monster Online Card Game.
