February Plus Members Love inbound

The last week of the month is here and we finally start to get more than one retail releases as publishers realize that we actually like to purchase games all year long (and not only during the holiday rush). The three retail releases bring something for everyone, as we’re getting Final Fantasy XIII-2, sequel that is supposed to “fix” everything that was wrong with FF XIII (which, if you ask me, was nothing at all), Soul Calibur V (fighting games are back in style!) and NeverDead (a game that is so weird, that I’ll just point you to the trailer so you can see what it’s all about ). On PSN, the only new release is Puddle. Other than that, we get some formerly retail only games that are now part of the digital service. Full gallery after the jump: PS3 Retail Releases You Can Buy Final Fantasy XIII-2 Right Here! Or maybe you want the Awesome Collector’s Edition! You Can Buy Soul Calibur V Right Here!

Sorry about another delay with this. I should just sit down sometime and schedule these to automatically post on Saturday mornings haha. Anyway, since the last one was so hard for so many, I will make this one simple: Upon taking over PS3Blog.net, when did Tosh begin allowing members of the community to sign up to post news and other articles? Hint: answer format would be: January 17 2012 This should be easy to answer, so I suggest doing this as quickly as possible to secure your points!

Playstation Plus Subscribers: Your January Content is Partially Here!

The clip above was created with the help of the PlayStation Move. Here is how it’s done: Each clip was shot in one take, the visual effects created using a mixture of props, live actors camouflaged in Lycra and, crucially, the technique of projective mapping – projecting backgrounds plus animation onto the environment, in this case the walls, furniture and other surfaces in the room. To look realistic, the images being projected have to be distorted to suit the geometry of the “screen”, and the viewpoint must be stationary. But Studio Output wanted to capture the results using a roving camera. That was where the PlayStation Move played a key role. Studio Output attached it to their camera and used it to track its movements. The readings were then fed back to a system which adapted the projected image in real time, making the backgrounds dazzlingly convincing throughout each clip. Pretty amazing stuff I must say and they haven’t even pushed it to the limits yet. They envision that this could one day evolve into a augmented reality experience. This sounds like true next generation technology. What are your thoughts on this? Via Digital Arts Online

How slow of a week is this going to be for new game releases? Just Dance 3 and The Adventures of Tintin slow. Not saying that those two games aren’t fun (who doesn’t like to shake their groove thing OR chase around a cute dog to solve a mystery or two?) but after 2 weeks with a LOT of releases (and one so-so last week)… well, I guess we HAD To run out of new games, right? PSOne Classic Final Fantasy VI is FINALLY released on PSN. Well, it’s not really a PSOne Classic per se. It’s a port of a classic SNES game that was re-released on a PSX disc a while ago so maybe we can say it’s a classic case of the porting blues? Anyway, full (but not so full) list of all releases (and I do mean all) after the break. PS3 RELEASES You Can Buy Just Dance 3 Right Here! You Can Buy The Adventures of Tintin Right Here!

Releases for the Week (December 5th-11th)

Know what’s a great way to celebrate the week after thanksgiving? With no retail releases for either PS3 or PSP! That’s right, this week you’ll all have to make do with offerings from the digital realm of gaming entertainment. The highlight for the week is the Sly Collection being made available on the PSN Store either in a bundle or as separate purchases. Price is the same in the end (actually, it’s $0.03 more expensive in the bundle) and you can choose to get one of the 3 games or go all the way and the the collection itself. This is great news for those that can’t track a physical copy of the digital release as it was released with a very small print run. On the other hand… we get a Voltron game! Indeed, the 80′s are back in style! What made the cut for this week? Let’s find out! PSN RELEASES You Can Buy The Sly Collection Right Here! You Can Buy Modern Warfare 2 Right Here! You Can Buy deBlob 2 Right Here! PSOne Classics PS2 Classics

Releases for the Week (November 28th-December 4th)

My PS3 is currently at Sony’s for some minor tune up (the console refused to play Bluray games and movies. No biggie) so you KNOW it’s time for them to set a timed, one week only sales extravaganza! From November 22 and till november 28th (or early on the 29th before the PSN store updates for that tuesday) you’ll be able to save up to 50% on the games listed below. How do you save the full 50%? Well, you must be a PS+ subscriber! The $50 a year (best value) subscription has already paid off for me so it’s a great investment. As for the sale, I would have bought 4-5 games on the list but since we can’t do that from a PSP or from our PCs… If you’re NOT a PS+ subscriber (why?) then you can still buy any of the games but the discount will be lowered to only 30%. Good enough for you? Limbo (Sale price: $10.49; PS Plus price: $7.34; Regular price: $14.99) Might & Magic Clash Of Heroes (Sale price: $10.49; PS Plus price: $7.34; Regular price: $14.99) Outland (Sale price: $6.99; PS Plus price: $4.89; Regular price: $9.99) Gatling Gears (Sale price: $6.99; PS Plus price: $4.89; Regular price: $9.99) Galaga Legions DX (Sale price: $6.99; PS Plus price: $4.89; Regular price: $9.99) The Fancy Pants Adventures (Sale price: $6.99; PS Plus price: $4.89; Regular price: $9.99) Section 8: Prejudice (Sale price: $10.49; PS Plus price: $7.34; Regular price: $14.99) Section 8: Prejudice – Blitz Pack (Sale price: $1.99; PS Plus price: $1.39; Regular price: $2.99) Section 8: Prejudice – Frontier Colonies Map Pack (Sale price: $2.99; PS Plus price: $2.09; Regular price: $3.99) Section 8: Prejudice – Overdrive Map Pack (Sale price: $2.99; PS Plus price: $2.09; Regular price: $3.99) Akimi Village (Sale price: $6.99; PS Plus price: $4.89; Regular price: $9.99) Dungeon Hunter Alliance (Sale price: $8.99; PS Plus price: $6.29; Regular price: $12.99) PlayStation Move Ape Escape (Sale price: $13.99; PS Plus price: $9.79; Regular price: $19.99) We’ve already reviewed Limbo and Akimi Village in case you want to read for a bit before making your purchase. So, what game has convinced you to spend a little more this week?
