Hey everyone! I'm extremely excited that Gunslugs is finally coming to its natural home, PS Vita, on February 18th. To celebrate the launch, we're offering a 20% discount for all PlayStation Plus members during the first week, so don't miss out! For the occasion, I figured I'd give you guys a sneak peek at the porting process of Gunslugs; or as we like to call it, an "adaptation" process. As I have no technical skills whatsoever, I interviewed Rutger Janssen, one of our elite programmers, and Ralph Egas, CEO and <a href="http://abstractiongames.com/" target="_new">Abstraction Games</a> Mastermind. Both developers were involved with the Gunslugs adaptation. More...

It’s hard to believe that <a href="http://us.playstation.com/psn/playstation-plus/?CMP=soc_us__pn_psblog_dotcomplus_02_17_14">PS Plus</a> is nearly four years old.

We’ve continued to up the ante with recent Instant Game Collection offerings such as Game of the Year nominee BioShock Infinite, PS3 action epic DmC, headspinning PS Vita adventure Gravity Rush, and most recently, PS4 favorites Resogun and Outlast.

It’s Valentine’s Day in Los Santos, and nothing says “I love you†like the warm wooden grip and cold steel barrel of a Gusenberg Sweeper machine gun. Dress to the nines in a new Double Breasted Suit, a 1920’s flapper dress, or bare it all in some sexy undergarments and paint the town red in a classically-inspired new ride, the Albany Roosevelt. All items are available for a limited time, but once acquired you will be able to keep them in your inventory for good. More...

Last night, the small but spunky team at NIS America reminded downtown San Francisco of its dedication to quirky JRPGs and unusual adventures.

As the hero in Conception II, you'll quickly learn that the seven heroines you meet and begin to form relationships with are an important aspect for surviving the game's deadly labyrinths.

Those Star Children are what we're going to focus on in today's Conception II update. More...

<p>It's that time of year again. The time when many people's thoughts and most things you find in stores turn to hearts, sparkles, and some form of red and white paper craft. Or maybe this kind of heartfelt celebration is a joyful, everyday occurrence for you. Even if you're the Who-needs-love type we have something special for you to mark the occasion.</p> More...

<a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/txk/" target="_blank">TxK</a> is an arcade-style shooting game. The basic idea is simple: shoot all the enemies that arrive on each playing surface. When the surface is clear or all enemies arrive at the top, the surface explodes and you transition to the next level. More...

With the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/daylight/" target="_blank">Daylight</a> launch just around the corner, I wanted to give PlayStation.Blog readers a bit of background on our protagonist, Sarah Gwynn. The reasons we chose to go with a female main character were twofold. The first reason being that because I was writing the game, she became (in a roundabout way) an extension of myself. I came up with the outline for Daylight based on some urban exploration I did in my high school days. Specifically, a blighted little spot within my small Michigan town by the name of The Sheldon Buildings (officially known as the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_County_Training_School" target="_new">Wayne County Training School for Feeble Minded Children</a>).

This week we're very happy to announce something brand new: an indie puzzle game called <strong>MouseCraft</strong>. More...

Forest Legends: The Call of Love is a game for people who believe in magic. Once upon a time, the Earth was inhabited by not only people but also Felizes - creatures that could transform into cat-like beings. Without warning, dark times fell upon the world, and war engulfed both races. The humans forced the Felizes to leave the land they had called home for thousands of years and hide in the forests. Humans then outlawed magic and spared no opportunity to attack the werecats. More...

Delsin Rowe strolls down a shadowy length of docks with ample confidence. Caches of illegal drugs have been hidden among the houseboats moored there, which is a disagreeable notion to our super-powered, rough-around-the-edges hero. But with eye-searing neon and seething smoke at his disposal, Delsin has little to fear from the drug peddlers peppering him with gunfire. Bullets ricochet off the flashing neon light around his head as he flinches -- they're more an annoyance than a danger. As he leaps into the air to greet his enemies, powers flaring to life, he can destroy them or subdue them. And that's up to the player. More...
