The PlayStation Recap
Posted by Sid Shuman in MAG, PlayStation Games, recap, uncharted 2 on October 9th, 2010
I knew there was a reason I rolled out of bed: Marvel announced today that the X-Men arcade game will be coming to PSN this fall with full support for six players (local or online on the PS3). And that’s not all — Capcom and Marvel unveiled new characters for Marvel vs Capcom 3: Arthur from Ghosts ‘N Goblins and Spencer from Bionic Commando, Magneto and M.O.D.O.K.. Not bad for a Saturday morning!
Now that Jeff and Rey have returned from the community meetups in Toronto and New York City, much of next week will be spent with me distracting them as much as possible with work talk while secretly trying to suckle away as much of their sweet pilfered Canadian maple syrup as possible. Look for some cool game announcements, too.
- I’m playing: Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (amazing first level!), Split/Second PSP, TRON: Evolution
- I’m watching: Fringe, The Power of Nightmares
- I’m reading: Not much, to be honest. Well, except this.
Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Beta Open to All PlayStation Plus Subscribers Today – What are you waiting for?

PlayStation Move Developer Diary: MAG
Posted by Brad Bennett in Developer Corner, MAG, PlayStation Games, playstation move, PS3, zipper on October 8th, 2010
In case you missed it, last week we released Patch 2.0 featuring Playstation Move compatibility for MAG. So far the response has been overwhelmingly positive from our community. We worked hard to implement PlayStation Move with MAG and are stoked to see it taking off. To get in on massive 256-player battles and learn more about dominating the battlefield with Playstation Move, check out the new Developer Diary below.
“The Move is not only precise but it also takes you in different direction, it feels like a natural extension of your hand and wrist. It just flows with your body and you stop thinking about having a controller. Those are the experiences that really pull you in as a player.” -Ben Jones, MAG level designer
With MAG available for only $29.99 as part of the PS3′s Greatest Hits line, now is the perfect time to jump!

Next week’s shaping up to be a big one, seeing the PS3 releases of Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, NBA 2K11 (with PlayStation Move Support), and more. I’m eager to try Castlevania and Enslaved; What are you waiting for?
In other news, Jeff and Rey are preparing to propel themselves into the snowy utopia that is Toronto, Canada for Tuesday’s PlayStation Canada Meetup. Expect to play Killzone 3, Gran Turismo 5, LittleBigPlanet 2, and a host of other PS3 and PSP games, including guest appearances by games from EA, Konami, Activision, Ubisoft, and more. It’s a big venue (the Sony Centre in downtown Toronto) but be sure to RSVP now to ensure you can get in.

Patch Alert: MAG 2.0 with PlayStation Move
Posted by Jeremy Dunham in MAG, PlayStation Games, playstation move, PS3, zipper on September 30th, 2010
The big day is here! The MAG 2.0 patch is now available with PlayStation Move support!
There is so much new content in MAG 2.0 that telling you how important or huge this is for the game, its fans, and for us seems unnecessary. Take one look at the changes listed here and you’ll understand why we’re calling this MAG 2.0.
PlayStation Move support, an increased level cap, our revamped skill tree, the new economy system, and our highly-demanded clan deploy feature are just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many fantastic new or improved items in MAG 2.0 it’s almost like a whole new game! Check out the patch notes on the MAG Blog to find the full list of updates.
A big thanks to all of you who have helped us get to this point with your support, your suggestions, and your mad Beta testing skills. We hope you have as much fun playing MAG 2.0 as we did making it.

PlayStation’s 15th Anniversary Comes to Home, Hudson Shows the Love + New Community Theater Partner
Posted by GlassWalls in 15th anniversary, MAG, playstation, PlayStation Home, PlayStation Network, playstation15, PSN on September 8th, 2010
Firstly, to commemorate a very special moment in gaming history, we have a special video celebrating the 15-year anniversary of PlayStation up for you to enjoy in the Theater. It’s been a long time since we started, and I hope you’ll join us in celebrating our “birthday.” As a party favor, each person who checks out the video will get a commemorative ornament, nodding praise to the platform that started it all.
Bomberman fans unite! Visit the new Hudson Gate game space when it is released in PlayStation Home this Thursday, September 9th. Explore the “discs” of this futuristic space and place your bets on the regular Dolphy races, unlock unique rewards, and even pick up Bomberman outfits. Purchase your own Dolphy Room Apartment, where you can raise your very own Dolphy to take part in races. Raise your Dolphy right and you’ll be rewarded as it streaks its way to victory!
Also this week, we have more MAG items including the RAVEN armor now available to further complete your collection. Lockwood’s sweet generosity is definitely not lacking this week either. This week, you’ll find the Lollipop collection of outfits or both male and female, a ton of new furniture and for the ladies, a luxury leather handbag delivering some serious bling in a diamond ring.
Finally, we have a new partnership in the Home Community Theater to announce — GamerIndepth!
As one of Home’s longest-running fan groups, it seemed only natural to further connect with them. I was able to get a burning question answered by several members of GamerIndepth.
GlassWalls: “I have a question for each of you. You’ve all been supporters of Home for a long time, and now we’re partnering up in the Community Theater. Where do you see the future for both of us heading?”
From Narde15: “Home is such a unique and cutting-edge application that I don’t know how to answer that question. What I can say is that as long as GamerIndepth is around it will keep its ear to the ground and continue to shine the spotlight on everyone making positive noise in PlayStation Home. That’s what we’ve always been about and with the support of the Home Team and the community, we’re not going to limit ourselves.”
From Hippe: “The future looks bright for ALL those that love Home. The future of both Home as an application and the community depends on the bonds we establish with each other. The Home of tomorrow will not be the Home of today. It continues to evolve daily and I hope GamerIndepth can be a part of that evolution every step of the way.”
From homeboy79: “The future of Home looks brighter everyday. The community’s involvement in Home is ultimately key to its success. This is where we come in. I’m confident that together we will continue to provide the highest quality of media and material that is for the community, by the community.”
From YowsahsItsMeesh: “Being an avid Home user soon after open beta was released it has truly been an experience to watch Home evolve into what it has become today….I can definitely see future partnerships such as ours, drawing in more gamers and non-gamers alike, and taking social gaming to an entirely new level.”
There you have it. Go check out their first video playing now in the Home Community Theater.
See you in Home!
