This weekend marks an annual American tradition: giving thanks to our nation's veterans, often while scorching assorted meats on a smoldering barbecue grill. I'll be doing my part, probably while crashed on the couch with a DualShock 3 in hand and a stack of recent releases I haven't played yet (<a href="http://www.rockstargames.com/maxpayne3/restricted_content/restricted_content_agegated/ref?redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rockstargames.com%2Fmaxpayne3%2F&hash=294f6c318189ab99b4c902e37089401a">May Payne 3!</a>). I'm focused on resting up in preparation for the delirious madness that is E3 -- it's much closer than you think!

Hey folks, I'm here today to announce a new <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/psn/">PSN</a> title coming this year! I’m very excited to introduce When Vikings Attack for <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps3/">PS3</a> and <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps-vita/">PS Vita</a>. In this all-action fighting adventure, a battalion of Viking invaders, 1200 years late to the party, are causing havoc in your town. Imagine getting together a posse of local citizens: a construction worker, a butcher, a policeman, a pastor, and a schoolboy, then ripping up a phone booth or picking up a car,and hurling it at the advancing Viking hordes. That's the sort of crazy action you can expect in this totally new and original PSN title for PS3 and PS Vita. More...

But wait, there's more! We know many of you have asked for more video footage of the game, so we created a brand new featurette which will give you all a look behind the curtain of LBP for PS Vita. Enjoy! More...

I’m back to share more details about <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/foosball-2012/">Foosball 2012</a>! Specifically, to introduce the cross-platform functionalities between <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps3/">PS3</a> and <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps-vita/">PS Vita</a>. We didn’t want to have a game that has a version for <a href="http://us.playstation.com/ps3/">PS3</a> and a separate version for <a href="http://us.playstation.com/psvita/">PS Vita</a>. We wanted an experience where you don’t need to worry about which device you are currently using, because you get exactly the same game -- including your current progress, unlocks, and DLC -- every time you play, regardless of whether you are currently on PS3 or PS Vita. First of all, when you buy Foosball 2012, you’ll get it for both the PS3 and PS Vita for a price of a single <a href="http://us.playstation.com/psn/">PSN game</a>. The same applies for additional content that you will be able to buy. Purchase the game once and you can use it on both the PS3 and PS Vita. More...

Hello, PlayStation fans! I'm very excited to tell you about our new game: KickBeat. It’s a music game; it just doesn't look like one. Check it out, and then after the jump I'll tell you about how it works and some of the development history. Music games have a long tradition of innovation. From the peripheral-based games like <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/guitar-hero/">Guitar Hero</a> and Dance Dance Revolution to controller-based ones like Frequency and <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/patapon/">Patapon</a>, these games allow us to experience music in new and often unexpected ways. KickBeat follows in the tradition of this type of music game. Although its beat-matching mechanic is not complex and will be familiar to fans of the music game genre, KickBeat does a couple things that make it different from anything else you've played...and with publishers afraid to do anything except sequels to dance games, what better time than now to give the genre a kick in the pants? More...

This edition of Pulse takes the magic-wand mechanics of Sorcery for a spin.

We are excited to announce a captivating new addition to the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/augmented-reality/">Augmented Reality (AR)</a> Play line-up next month with the release of PulzAR. <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/pulzar/">PulzAR</a> is a mind boggling, potentially Earth-shattering puzzle game that turns nearly any flat surface into an epic battle against time and a looming celestial event with the use of your AR Play cards. You see, in PulzAR, the Earth is in grave danger. Somewhere just beyond our planet’s outer atmosphere, a series of colossal asteroids are spinning ever closer on a deadly collision course to wipe out humankind. So far, all attempts to divert their trajectory have failed. Now, in mankind’s desperate last stand against certain catastrophe, it’s up to you to command a network of explosive rockets and try to blast the asteroids into a harmless meteor shower before they reach Earth. More...

Well, it's been a long time coming but today it's finally here -- <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/sorcery/">Sorcery</a>! <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/playstation-move/">PlayStation Move</a> is a magic wand at last! Sorcery is the first of its kind - a full-fledged action adventure created natively for the PlayStation Move motion controller. All of us at The Workshop feel tremendously privileged that we could bring this game to life. Many of you have been following us since our first announcement back at E3 2010 and we have worked tirelessly since then to meet the expectations that arose from our on-stage presentation. It was a massive effort, and I cannot say enough about of the men and women who gave themselves so completely to the task. I also have to thank PlayStation for their profound commitment and willingness to believe in the vision, even when the road ahead was uncertain. More...

In 1986, James Cameron’s Aliens hit theaters, instantly becoming one of the most iconic science fiction movies in cinematic history. This movie was a huge success and was nominated for seven Academy Awards. The film that had so many great elements to it: blistering action, Marine camaraderie, creeping tension, and of course, the xenomorphs. When people ask me what it is like working on a game based on Aliens, a game that is the <em>actual</em> sequel to the movie Aliens, it is tough to put the experience into words. First of all, “passion†is a key word in the development of this game. The team at Gearbox is very passionate not only about Aliens but storytelling and the game experience. It is so important to all of us to do this game right -- the Aliens franchise deserves an awesome video game. Another key word is “intimidating,†because Aliens is a revered franchise with fans all over the world. I have been lucky enough to show <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/aliens-colonial-marines/">Aliens: Colonial Marines</a> to fans at PAX, E3, Gamescom, Igromir and more. And I have found that people all around the world, people of all ages, love Aliens. When fans see our demo they tell me that it’s looking great...but then warn us not to “mess it up.†More...
