HELLOOOOO AGAIN OFFICIAL PLAYSTATION BLOG! Last time I posted here I introduced BaraBariBall and the Sportsfriends collection. <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/11/21/sportsfriends-barabariball-and-beyond/" target="_blank">Go check it out</a> if you're curious about what the game is, or <a href="http://barabariball.com/howtoplay/" target="_blank">click here</a> if you want a more in-depth look at its systems (tldr version: it's a fun new fighting game, with a ball).

Don’t be alarmed -- no, it’s not Monday. Although <a href="http://us.playstation.com/psn/playstation-plus/" target="_blank">PlayStation Plus</a> updates typically kick off the week, we’re trying something new by pulling back the curtain on our Instant Game Collection updates a little early. More...

Hello everyone! I just got back from Germany where I had the amazing opportunity to discuss <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/puppeteer/" target="_blank">Puppeteer</a> with so many people while at Gamescom. And, since Puppeteer is on the brain, I figured why not showcase the rest of the bosses in the game to you all. So, take a look at the final six Generals as well as some small details about the Moon Bear King. Puppeteer is almost out and I can’t wait for everyone to lose their head! More...

Los Santos: a sprawling, sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets, and fading celebrities. Once the envy of the Western world, now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV. Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success. More...

<a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/tearaway/" target="_blank">Tearaway</a> is about going on an adventure. It's a very personal journey between two people: you, and your new messenger friend. If you're going on an adventure, you're likely going to see lots of amazing things, and you'll probably want to tell people about them. That's why we gave Iota and Atoi their own cameras! More...

Artists like music videos too, and VidZone features VIP Playlists from some of the biggest artists right now, including Robin Thicke, A$AP Rocky, Ferg, and EDM megalith, David Guetta. In other (equally amazing) news, we also have a brand new Zone for y’all: the Country Zone. From new to old, classic to modern, this Zone will keep you lassoed in for hours and hours of great country music. So, kick back, grab your cowboy hat and enjoy this new zone. More...

The Last of Us multiplayer gets some serious updates today with the deployment of patch 1.03. The patch rolls out across all regions over the next 24 hours, issuing several multiplayer fixes. In addition, a brand new game mode is being added to the suite, called Interrogation. Interrogation is an objective game mode where both factions attempt to interrogate the opposing forces during the match, in an effort to unlock the enemy lockbox. For more details on Interrogation mode, and the additional fixes deployed in patch 1.03, read on. More...

Want to find out what die-hard Doctor Who fans think of the Doctor Who experience in PlayStation Home? BBC Worldwide sent two prominent Doctor Who YouTube bloggers, Chris Foxx and J.P. Fox, to discover the mysteries and wonders of Doctor Who, brought to life as never before by LOOT Entertainment in Sony Computer Entertainment’s 3D virtual world. More...

Going hands-on with Killzone: Shadow Fall’s multiplayer mode for the first time at Gamescom, I couldn’t help but feel that Shadow Fall represents a sea change for the veteran shooter series. The gameplay retains the series’ signature weight and heft, so you never feel like you’re ice-skating through the the meticulously detailed environments. But thanks to a host of refinements from Guerrilla Games, Shadow Fall is undeniably a faster, more fluid, and more satisfying Killzone. Call it Killzone reborn. More...

Every Tuesday, there are new games, apps, and updates added to PlayStation Mobile. Hermit Crab In Space is now available in Canada, and there's a price change for Magic Planet Snack Deluxe.

More...

This is Spelunky's PlayStation debut as well as its handheld debut. It also happens to be the first game I've ever released on a handheld, which is personally very exciting, as portable gaming has been such a big part of my life. And I can't think of a better game or system to do this with! More...

At long last, <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/project-diva-f/" target="_blank">Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F</a> is here!

It’s a very exciting time for LittleBigPlanet, a couple of weeks ago we launched our <a href="http://littlebigplanet.com/news/the-free-tearaway-competition-pack-is-on-the-store-now" target="_new">Tearaway Competition</a>, and last week we announced <a href="http://littlebigplanet.com/news/introducing-littlebigplanet-hub" target="_new">LittleBigPlanet HUB</a> to the world!

PAX Prime is just around the corner (and by around the corner we mean 4 days away!), so we thought it might be a good time to give you the many reasons to come by and check out what PlayStation has to offer.

More...

Hello indie game fans! I’m part of our Developer Relations team that has been working hard to bring a whole mess of rad indie games to our platforms; you may have seen some of our work last week at Gamescom where we announced games like Rogue Legacy and N++ coming to PS4, or the eight indie titles we had on stage at our E3 press conference back in June. Indie games and PAX (the Penny Arcade Expo) have always gone hand in hand, from the PAX10 to the always-amazing IndieMegaBooth; a lot of indies get their start from the word-of-mouth that buzzes around PAX, and we’re always on the hunt for new games there. More...

Machinarium returns to PlayStation Plus, this time with the PS Vita version available for those who didn’t have a chance to play it on PlayStation 3! The much-anticipated Spelunky is also releasing this week as part of PS Vita Summer Select. Grab this new release on PS Vita and PS3 as a Cross-Buy purchase with an exclusive PS Plus discount to boot. Lastly, the PAX 2013 sale rings in one of the best community gaming events on the planet: PAX Prime. More...

On PS3 Blu-ray and a full digital download on PSN, Killer Is Dead is the latest title from the demented mind of celebrated game creator, SUDA51, serving as a spiritual successor to his previous cult favorites, No More Heroes and Killer 7. Stylish cell-shaded visuals set the mood in this gritty, bloody, ultra-violent world where biomechanical augmentations increase the power of criminals and "executioners" alike. Mondo Zappa, a newly recruited executioner, hunts criminals wielding a Japanese sword in his right hand, and the crushing power of biomechanical engineering in his left. Enjoy this week’s The Drop!

Regrettably, some people who downloaded the digital pre-order of Grand Theft Auto V through the PlayStation Store in Europe were able to access certain GTA V assets. These assets were posted online. We have since removed the digital pre-order file from the PlayStation Store in Europe. We sincerely apologize to Rockstar and GTA fans across the world who were exposed to the spoiler content. More...

Yep, that's right, it's finally here. Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn has been rebuilt from the ground up, and adventurers the world over will be able to begin their journey throughout Eorzea tomorrow with the start of Early Access, ahead of Tuesday’s official launch. It's a massively exciting time for the whole team, and we'd like to thank everybody that's been involved in the beta phases until now. We really appreciate the enormous feedback and support sent along the way. More...

BioShock Infinite garnered wide acclaim this spring for its mind-bending story and fantastic environments. But the announcement of Burial at Sea -- a two-part adventure that sets Infinite protagonists Booker DeWitt and Elizabeth in the underwater city of Rapture -- might just be Irrational’s most ambitious and exciting project yet. Creative Director Ken Levine kindly took a few minutes from his schedule to answer our pesky questions about the upcoming downloadable episodes. More...
