This game is shaping up to be one of the most original, interactive-story experience this year and is due for release on February 23rd. It has similarities to a film-noir thriller and somehow reminds me of Silence of the Lambs.
The mall-scene gameplay above can only get you excited so much (and annoyed at ‘Jason’). That is why there is the news of a demo that will be released on the PSN come February 11th. The demo contains 2 chapters; one featuring FBI agent Norman Jayden attempting to track down the Origami Killer, the other on Scott Shelby, PI.

“Hustle Kings is undoubtedly the most realistic and entertaining billiards game available anywhere…period” says Aaron Orsak, US Producer of Hustle Kings.
I’m pretty sure most of you have played a pool game at some point in your life, most likely on the PC and I pretty sure you enjoyed it. You may even have been lucky to play the real thing in a bar somewhere. But Hustle Kings is Pool meets PS3, as a full game, boasting the best simulation and graphics for a pool game ever. If you want the perfect Pool Game for your PS3, get Hustle Kings. Just as Gran Turismo is to car racing, Hustle Kings is to Pool/Billiards etc.
I’m certainly getting this title when it releases this Thursday, January 28th for US$9.99 on the PSN.
Here is the Hustle Kings Trailer:

MAG, the 256 player game, that pits 128 vs 128 players in multiplayer comes to PS3 exclusively on Tuesday 26th January 2010.
An optional update for the PlayStation 3 is now out. (This means you manually go to “System Update” in your PS3 Settings to download it.)
Firmware 3.15 adds the ability to play PSP “Minis” on the console (cheap downloadable games originally psp exclusive).
The update also finally adds a long requested data transfer feature.
This feature allows a person with a second or new ps3, to connect that new ps3 to their old one via ethernet cable, and initiate a data transfer between them. This data transfer copies all the saved data, games, files and settings from the old system to the new one. The catch though is that any “Copy Protected” save files from the old ps3 will not “copy” to the new system, rather be “moved” to the new system. That means when the process is completed, the copy protected data will be deleted from the old ps3, but be present on the new ps3.
This patch is a big deal for many users that have experienced the Yellow Light of Death error and had their systems repaired. The data transfer gives certainty to users who invest in a new console to replace the old so that all their hard earned data is transferred to the new system.
Update is live, check it out and feedback is welcome!
Christmas comes to PlayStation Home from this Thursday. Check out the Christmas tree in Central Plaza which comes with riddles that reveal some “surprising developments”.
Look out for a MotorStorm: Pacific Rift home-space that will be available from the Estates store in the mall.
And don’t forget the Winter Wonderland space will be opening on Thursday as well. Be sure to check out Santa and his elves…they may need some help decorating the space so you can do them a favour and pitch in. (When last can you say that you’ve ever helped Santa Claus? The kids are counting on you!)
On Friday December 11th, there will be a scavenger hunt in Home in which the first 50 players to piece together certain codes will get themselves a free download of the PSN game, Diner Dash.
Get into the Christmas spirit with PlayStation Home starting this Thursday!

PlayStation Network has been churning out amazing after amazing downloadable games for everyone to enjoy ever since the network launched in ‘06. These games don’t just make themselves…there are hard working indie developers that through creative minds and passion for innovative gaming sculpt these games into the gems you see on PSN today.
One of these indie developers and my personal favourite are the PixelJunk team from Japan, Q-Games. These guys have made three of the most popular games ever to hit the PlayStation Store, and the names of these games are easily recognised…PIXELJUNK!
From fast paced Racers, to tower defense Monsters and to the soothing Eden, Q-Games has created some of the best downloaded games I have ever played, and based on feedback from personal friends and comments on the internet, these games are favourites among many.
Just recently PixelJunk Monsters was reborn as a new title for the PSP system, but as for a totally new inventive game, nothing new since PixelJunk Eden in 2008. This month though, Q-Games is bringing forth another immersive title that aims to capture those idle funds from your PSN Wallet.
PixelJunk Shooter, announced earlier this year is almost out the door and the hype is increasing as the developer has taken alot of time to make this game as best as they could. In PixelJunk Shooter, the player pilots a subterranean vehicle that navigates through diverse cave-like complexes that are dynamic and o so visual. The goal of the game is getting through these detailed environments (water,magma,earth etc.) by manipulating the environment. There are also survivors in these environments that are to be rescued.
Enough talking for now and lets let the video speak for itself:
Reviews have already begun surfacing and they for the most part hold high praise for this new title.
The developer also has high hopes for this game and they have hosted a facebook group for some time now with the intention of becoming the first Million game seller on PSN. Its a very very steep figure to aim for as the digital download era is still fairly new, but we can all contribute to give Q-Games and the PixelJunk series the success it deserves.
PSNTT look forward to PixelJunk Shooter to be hitting the PlayStation Store (PS3) on Thursday, December 10, 2009.
