PlayStation Canada Bringing the Campus Tour to Ontario

Oct 12 2012

We’re packing up some of our favorite games this fall and hitting the road to bring you the PlayStation Varsity Challenge. We want you to come battle it out in a gaming tournament for a chance to win prizes, perks, bragging rights and the chance to compete in our final championship event in Spring 2013.

This year we’re featuring PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale, LittleBigPlanet Karting, and NHL 13. Come out to play with PlayStation and our partners – NOS, Virgin Gaming and EB Games – to prove that you’re the best video game brawler, a first place karting champ or a hot shot hockey star.

Students outside Ontario – we’re sad we can’t visit you this year, but we’re looking forward to expanding our tour next year. Tell us where you are, and we’ll do our best to bring you the chance to compete.

Sack it to Me: Share Your Favorites On #Queuesday

+ Posted by Steven Isbell

Working with the rather brilliant Chimpanzee and his RocketCheetah blog, we are proud to announce that Tuesdays for LittleBigPlanet will now become #Queuesday.

What does this mean exactly? Every Tuesday, all you have to do is Tweet us @LittleBigPlanet with your favorite levels, and include those handy LBP.me links along with the #Queuesday hashtag.

That’s it — just share a bunch of your favorite levels with the rest of the LittleBigPlanet community on Twitter!

If we see a #Queuesday list that we like, and we retweet it from @LittleBigPlanet, then we’ll also send one of our popular LittleBigPlanet Caps your way for your Sackboy or Sackgirl, to show off their community spirit.

Treasure Park for PS Vita: How to Play Like a Pro

+ Posted by Shuhei Yoshida

Hi everyone! I’ll let you into a secret. When I’m not busy in my role as President of Worldwide Studios I live a secret double life! I’m a pro treasure hunter and was even at one point ranked number one in the world. My specialist field is an app only available on PS Vita called Treasure Park (although I can also be found searching for Drake’s Fortune in the Golden Abyss).

I’m always on the lookout for new challengers, so today I’d like to share some of my experience with fledgling treasure hunters around the globe so that one day, you too might become a world-class pro.

The Drop: Week of October 15th 2012 New Releases

+ Posted by Rey Gutierrez

On PS Vita, the very first Multiplayer Silent Hill – survive horrific nightmare worlds with your friends in a terrifying co-op experience in Silent Hill: Book of Memories. Book of Memories is a macabre celebration of the best that Silent Hill has to offer. Players will encounter items and Creatures culled from over a decade of Silent Hill lore, including a special someone who walks softly and carries a gigantic knife.

On PS3 this week, DOOM 3 BFG Edition is the ultimate collection of groundbreaking games that defined the first-person shooter (FPS) genre. The collection includes DOOM, DOOM 2, DOOM 3, and DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil, as well as the ‘Lost Mission.’ All DOOM 3 content has been re-mastered with upgraded graphics for an even more terrifying FPS experience, and as the subtext to the edition’s name suggests, all the content included feature guns and other weapons of substantial power and size. Enjoy another week of new PS3, PSN and PS Vita releases on The Drop.

PlayStation Mobile: Rebel Shoots ‘em Up Sans Guns

+ Posted by Michael Michael

Having made five shooters already, we at PomPom Games were rather conflicted. We had just agreed to spin a cheerful little number for PlayStation Mobile. We know how to make a decent shooter. I’m sure Sony were expecting us to do a shooter. And to be honest, I wanted to make a shooter. But my partner (Miles Visman) was like totally meh about it.

So, after 45 seconds of intense prototyping, Rebel was born – a game where you blow up loads of stuff without firing a single bullet. In a world where your enemies are just the right combination of stupid and armed… one can only enjoy oneself, right?

Here’s the basic idea. You are a nameless rebel prisoner. Using intricate gameplay mechanics (press “play”) you escape from your concrete prison.

Quick Hit: Hands-on with Street Fighter X Tekken for PS Vita

+ Posted by Sid Shuman

I recently spent some hands-on time with a near-complete version of Street Fighter X Tekken for PS Vita, ahead of its October 23rd PSN and retail launch. And I’ve gotta say, it’s the spitting image of its PS3 bigger brother with big, bold characters and detailed backgrounds running at PS Vita’s native screen resolution. But peer underneath those pretty graphics and you’ll find a wealth of new extras that make this the definitive version of Capcom’s crossover fighter.

The game comes equipped with every DLC fighter from the PS3 version — including PlayStation exclusives Cole McGrath, Kuro, Toro, Mega Man and Pac-Man, of course — as well as alternate costumes for every character in the base roster.
