Naughty Dog’s perfection-seeking follow up, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves has finally received a Game-of-the-Year edition. For just $49.99, PS3 owners can get the amazing 3rd person shooter along with a packed-in voucher for the following:
The classic PS2 action-adventure game Beyond Good and Evil will be remade with HD visuals for the PS3 and Xbox 360. The game was well received when it first came out, and for those who can’t remember the story follows Jade, a female investigative reporter and martial artist who works for a resistance movement trying to uncover an alien conspiracy.
A big drop this week. Dead Rising 2 and Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock are probably the most notable store releases for the PS3. While on PSN there is Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, which is an isometric cooperative adventure, and could be an interesting move away from the franchises normal roots. For the PSP, the new demo of GOD OF WAR Ghost of Sparta should be worth a look.
EA have announced that there will be a delay on their new NBA franchise, NBA ELITE. The delay may be linked to the recent demo which some have criticized for being buggy. It featured a brand new control scheme that relies heavily on the analogue sticks to shoot and defend, and which received some negative feedback.
Sega has announced a new launch date for the official next installment of the famous, often misunderstood, Sonic franchise. Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 will release as a downloadable game on October 12, 2010 on PSN for $14.99. The episodic title will also be released on the Wii virtual console, XBLA and the iTunes App Store. Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 was slated for a summer release. No word on why the game was moved up into a much more competitive market or how many episodes will follow.
A rumour had been working its way around the net over the last few days suggesting that Little Big Planet 2 might be delayed. And now unfortunately Media Molecule, the studio behind the game, have confirmed that LBP 2 will no longer meet its original release date of November 16th.
Some interesting things appearing this week on the PSN store, like the inclusion of two Japanese PSone Imports: Cho Aniki, a shooter, and Gaia Seed, a side-scrolling futuristic shooter. There is also with an update of the Dreamcast title Sonic Adventure. Hopefully this will be the start for other interesting retro and Dreamcast games to hit PSN.
