The first store and online PS3 releases arrive for a new
month, but after the last few weeks of excellent new games April starts off
slowly. There are no new major store releases this week, and only two new games
arriving on the PlayStation Network.
In StarDrone you
pilot a drone across the galaxy in order to balance the equilibrium of the
universe, with gameplay that borrows from pinball and breakout style games. The
other new game on PSN is Red Faction:
Battlegrounds, which is a vehicle combat game set in the Red Faction universe.
If neither of these new titles are of interest to you then you
could check out Zipper Interactive’s open multiplayer beta for the up and
coming SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs which
will also be available on PSN this week.
Game of the Week
seems a little forced with only two new games to choose from. But if
you liked the previous Red Faction games, or if you enjoy blowing things up
with tanks or mechs then Red Faction:
Battlegrouds should be worth downloading, or testing out with the demo.
