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.

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.

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...

In Avoid Droid, fruit appears in sync with a drum beat of ever-increasing tempo. Your Droid loves fruit! But when he tries to eat them, they explode. It's not all bad though, because those explosions destroy the endless horde of robotic machines trying to squish, zap, stomp and bite you. (It's their fruit, you see. Don't ask.) More...

This is an RTS game like you’ve never seen before. Imagine if in James Cameron’s Aliens the Aliens attacked in robotic tanks and helicopters. That would be even more awesome, right? That’s what we’re aiming at here. Space Invaders just turned nasty. More...

Hi <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/" target="_blank">PlayStation.Blog</a> readers. Back in 2009 we released <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/gravity-crash/" target="_blank">Gravity Crash</a> for <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps3/" target="_blank">PlayStation 3</a>, a love letter to classic ‘80s shooter gaming. The game was a labor of love for our small team, a team that wanted to produce a title with precision controls, high definition visuals and memorable sound but remain a modern-day interpretation of retro arcade gameplay.

This video helps us tell that story. More...

Sid and I are in Germany, tracking down the games to bring you new info. Yesterday, I sat in on a presentation by Col Rodgers, the game director on PS4's upcoming launch exclusive Driveclub, where he went into detail about the Driveclub's social features, the PS Plus Edition of the game, and showed us how Remote Play on PS Vita works. Rodgers described Driveclub as the "social network for racing games," and this is exemplified by the game's Challenge system. More...

But we, the audience, also see a scene from the Second World War in which Spanish fascists storm a Catalan villa, killing the family, and seizing that same painting. As George and Nico are drawn into the murderous conspiracy, those around them claim that the painting is cursed by the Devil himself. George and Nico soon come to believe that they may just be right.
