PSNStores Weekly Roundup: January 28th – February 3rd 2013

Posted by on February 3rd, 2013 | 0 Comments | Tags:

This Friday I took some time off of Persona 4 (its just so good) to hop back into a few games of Section 8 Prejudice with a few of the editors here to celebrate the current sale that is going on for the game. As always Section 8 was a blast and its not too late to get the game for the great price of $5 if you are a PS+ member.  I also finally played through The Unfinished Swan and, as I expected from hearing everyone else say so many good things about the game, I thoroughly enjoyed it and was impressed with the mechanics and story presentation(even though the second chapter seemed to drag on a little in my opinion). I have a feeling that if I had played this game last year when it was released it would have ended up somewhere in my GOTY picks.

While PC players have been enjoying the unique strategy of Frozen Synapse for a while now PlayStation fans will soon have their chance as Double Eleven have announced that they will be releasing a version of the game for PS3/Vita. Titled Frozen Synapse: Tactics the game will be more then just a simple port of the PC version as the game will be getting a complete makeover. Once we learn more about this title we will let you know. Gaijin games have also announced that they have submitted Bit.Trip Runner 2 to Sony for classification so you can look forward to hearing about a release date soon.

While it was a slow week on the store for PSN titles with no new releases we got word on some upcoming releases to get excited for. The PSN/Vita port of the PSM title Alien Breed (which originally was released on the Amiga) will be making its way to the store on February 6th in EU and 12th in NA for the price of £6.49/€7.99/$9.99 and will thankfully be a cross buy(#yopo) title. Check out the new trailer to see how the game is shaping up. The ever so helpful Hong Kong PlayStation blog also let known that some new DLC is coming for When Vikings Attack! Humorously titled When Vikings Relax! the DLC will add new arenas, a survival mode, and of course more trophies to collect. Keep an eye out for an official announcement from Clever Beans soon.

Two new PSM games from Thomas Hopper were released this week titled Super Skull Smash Go! and Still Life. Make sure to check out this weeks Quick Play to see if you should add these to your (hopefully) ever increasing PSM library. Also this weeks free PSM offering comes from the developers Laughing Jackal with Cubixx, their take on the classic Qix puzzle game. If you haven’t already make sure to grab it before Tuesday’s update.

In reviews Nick wrote about his time blowing up giant bugs with Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable, Ben provided his slightly controversial thoughts on PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, and I enjoyed some remixed classical music with Fredric – Resurrection of Music.

This weeks round-up finishes off with the debut of a new feature, PSNStores Play, which sees an editor play through a favorite PSN title of the past and record it for your entertainment. In this installment you can watch Chris play around 20 minutes of the first PixelJunk Shooter and make sure to keep your eyes on our YouTube channel for more of PixelJunk Shooter and other editor favorites from the great PSN library.
