The PlayStation Recap — Gamesplosion Edition

In case you hadn’t heard, next week is shaping up to be a real doozy in terms of new game releases. I’ll leave the gory details to Rey with The Drop tomorrow, but suffice it to say that free time is about to become America’s scarcest commodity when Batman: Arkham City, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, PSN exclusive Okabu, and approximately eleven thousand more killer PS3 games release this coming Tuesday. Guys, I’m scared. Hold me!

It wasn’t a light news week, either, with a new Marvel Pinball: Virtue and Vengeance trailer starring Ghost Rider (plus PS Vita plans!), an UNCHARTED 3 dev diary focused on the multiplayer Buddy System, an inFAMOUS 2 contest aimed at fledgling level designers, new Q&As for SSX and Batman: Arkham City, plus new co-op videos for Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, Okabu, and Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken, and a new dancer diary devoted to Everybody Dance’s new Dance Creator mode. Read on to see the top 10 most-read blog posts of the week!
