Kick-Ass

It was a bit of a shock when Frozen Codebase President Ben Geisler showed up on the Official PlayStation Blog touting their upcoming game Kick-Ass The Game – which was to debut on the PlayStation Store only a few days later.

Dark Forces blasts onto PS3/PSP

Dark Forces!

The PlayStation Network update came early today and brought with it some great news: the PS1 classic Star Wars: Dark Forces is now available for $4.99. This first person shooter tells the story of how Kyle Katarn acquired the Death Star plans for the Rebellion, and then went on to eliminate the Empire’s other super weapon: a robotic army called the “Dark Force”. The best part about this deal? For $5 you can play it on your PS3 and on your PSP/PSP Go. In short: it’s worth it!

The Spring Fever sale continues, this week focusing on PixelJunk titles at 50% off. The best deal, by far, is the PixelJunk 3-in-1 bundle; for $9.99 you get PixelJunk Racers, Eden, and Monsters – an actual savings of 66% of the retail price of each title. For just $4.99 more you can pick up PixelJunk Shooter, bringing your total to $15 for all four PixelJunk games. Verdict? Absolutely worth it on all counts.
