The PlayStation Recap — What We’re Reading

Festive music is becoming increasingly prevalent, the streets smell of pine, and shopping is more difficult each day. Regardless of which holiday you celebrate this season, I’m sure most of us have accrued a decently sized backlog of games to catch up on during the extra days we’ll have off.

PS.Blog had a good week, from a look at top-down shooter Under Defeat HD, to an anime-styled fishing game on PS Vita. Music Unlimited is sporting a deep discount for a premium membership right now (but only if you’re a PlayStation Plus member), and if you pride yourself on your vocabulary, you’ll want to check out Page Chronica. Finally, I can’t believe I’m typing this, but Sid did it. He finally did it.
