<p style="text-align: justify;">From the crazy, ambient, mellow world which only exists within the mind of Baiyon, <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/pixeljunk-4am/">PixelJunk 4AM</a> exclusively on <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/psn/">PSN</a>*and <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/playstation-move/">PlayStation Move</a>, reflects a huge departure from previous PixelJunk titles by putting the power of creation directly at your fingertips.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">In Max Payne 3 for <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps3/">PS3</a>, Max takes a job in São Paulo, Brazil, protecting the family of wealthy real estate mogul Rodrigo Branco, in an effort to finally escape his troubled past. But as events spiral out of his control, Max Payne finds himself alone on the streets of an unfamiliar city, desperately searching for the truth and fighting for a way out.

We're taking a quick, pre-E3 break in San Diego, so nearly skipped this week's What We Read. But I did stumble across some informative reviews for games like Awesomenauts (<a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/04/24/awesomenauts-blasts-off-for-psn-today-free-for-ps-plus/">still free</a> for PS Plus subscribers!), Starhawk, and Mortal Kombat for PS Vita, so here goes. I can vouch for that last one personally - during last week's <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/05/01/playstation-loves-canada-youre-invited-toronto/">PlayStation <3 Canada meet-up</a> in Toronto, <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/author/sshuman/">Sid</a> and I enjoyed quite a few ad hoc matches with the locals. In true Canadian fashion, they kicked our arses, <em>politely</em>. Then we played for a nice chunk of the flight home as well. In my opinion, it's the best portable fighter ever. Last thing: did any of you catch today's <a href="http://espn.go.com/sports/soccer/story/_/id/7925180/2012-english-premier-league-manchester-city-wins-title-miracle-comeback">Premiership finale</a>? One of the craziest days in sports history, anywhere in the world. More...

Just weeks away from E3 and we're entering heavy travel season, starting with this week's trip to Toronto, Ontario, Canada -- the site of our indie-themed <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/05/01/playstation-loves-canada-youre-invited-toronto/">community meetup</a> this past Tuesday. Jeff, Rey and I had a blast talking with Toronto Blog readers and we even traded blows in some ferocious ad-hoc matches of Mortal Kombat on PS Vita. If you made the trip, thanks for coming!

Starhawk is by far one of the most anticipated new exclusives for PlayStation that I have waited for all year. I briefly saw it at E3 last year and then went full force into the Private Beta last November. I have eagerly awaited to get my hands on this gem produced by the masterminds at [...] <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/C_neQIxD4LwJAUi3qOzz0bMaIQc/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/C_neQIxD4LwJAUi3qOzz0bMaIQc/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/C_neQIxD4LwJAUi3qOzz0bMaIQc/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/C_neQIxD4LwJAUi3qOzz0bMaIQc/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/UrgentFuryUnleashed?a=fe8sYxSYZF4:FC7-9FPAAlM:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/UrgentFuryUnleashed?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/UrgentFuryUnleashed?a=fe8sYxSYZF4:FC7-9FPAAlM:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/UrgentFuryUnleashed?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/UrgentFuryUnleashed?a=fe8sYxSYZF4:FC7-9FPAAlM:Ly1H5S7uc7A"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/UrgentFuryUnleashed?d=Ly1H5S7uc7A" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UrgentFuryUnleashed/~4/fe8sYxSYZF4" height="1" width="1"/> More...

It’s back! We are very excited to unveil patch 1.11 for <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/uncharted-3-drakes-deception/">UNCHARTED 3</a>, which will be live for download by the end of May. First of all, we can hail the long anticipated return of the Lab. However if your memory is fuzzy about what the Lab is, we first introduced it in <a href="http://www.naughtydog.com/site/post/introducing_the_lab_playlist_and_double_cash_weekend_may_28_to_june_1/">UNCHARTED 2 multiplayer</a>. The Lab is a playlist featuring a unique series of multiplayer game types that our designers have concocted that focus on, above all, being fun. We’re kicking things off with a T-bolt and Pistole only map. So once the patch drops later this month, log onto UNCHARTED 3 multiplayer and give it a whirl. Let the experiments begin! As for other changes happening in patch 1.11 <a href="http://www.naughtydog.com/games/uncharted3_drakes_deception/">UNCHARTED 3</a>’s Lead Multiplayer Designer Robert Cogburn and Game Director Justin Richmond have something to say (video above).

In this installment of our <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/05/08/the-making-of-sorcery-a-heros-journey/">“Making of Sorceryâ€</a> video series, we turn our attention to the music and sound design in this upcoming <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/playstation-move/">PlayStation Move</a> title. It was very important to have a Celtic inspired score for this game, but we wanted to do something a bit unusual with Celtic music, almost stretching the use of the instruments where possible in an effort to give the world of <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/sorcery/">Sorcery</a> its own unique sound. As you'll notice, we have drums, flutes, and other instruments that give the music somewhat of a medieval feel, but at the same time we didn't want to be limited to that. We wanted to bring in as many other sounds as possible to create a wider palette. The result is a fusion of traditional Celtic music with more contemporary instrumentation and sound effects that boost the feeling of immersion you get by casting spells with the <a href="http://us.playstation.com/ps3/playstation-move/">PS Move controller</a>. Here's a look, and don't forget Sorcery will hit stores in North America on Tuesday, May 22nd! More...

Hey there PlayStation Assassins! The World Premiere Gameplay Trailer of <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/assassins-creed-iii/">Assassin’s Creed III</a> is finally here! We know you’ve been waiting for this since the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/03/05/assassins-creed-iiis-first-trailer/">initial announcement</a> back in March, so go ahead and watch it right now… I’ll be right here when you’re done. Okay, now that you’ve been properly introduced to Connor, our new Assassin, there are a couple of things in this video that I’d like to call your attention to. Firstly, there are the basics of Connor’s character. He is a brutally effective Assassin, taking down his targets with speed and dexterity. Note how he flows across the battlefield, moving from one kill to another in a seamless, unbroken pace until finally finishing his target with vicious grace. There’s also Connor’s Native American/English heritage, which adds complexity and richness to his motivation. More...

Shooter fans everywhere are starting to get excited since we’re now less than a month away from the May 29th release of <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/resistance-burning-skies/">Resistance: Burning Skies</a>. Two weeks ago, we introduced the world to Burning Skies’ competitive <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/04/12/resistance-burning-skies-multiplayer-details-revealed/">multiplayer experience</a>, and so far, we’ve been thrilled with how much fans and media have enjoyed playing it! I know many of you are chomping at the bit to get out there and start taking the war against the Chimera online, so you’ll be happy to hear that last week, Resistance: Burning Skies went gold. To celebrate, we’d like to show you our new trailer, which focuses on the game’s unique feature set. Resistance: Burning Skies brings a lot of “firsts†to the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps-vita/">PS Vita </a>– First-ever dual-analog FPS control on a portable device, the first competitive multiplayer shooter experience on the <a href="http://us.playstation.com/psvita/">PS Vita</a>, and the first support for Party voice chat.

Excitement around <a href="https://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/hitman-absolution/">Hitman: Absolution</a> has been building at an impressive rate over the last year. In fact, today it’s exactly one year ago we came out and announced that we were working on <a href="http://us.playstation.com/games-and-media/games/hitman-absolution-ps3.html">Absolution</a> and we’ve had a great ride. From sharing the first gameplay at <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/06/08/hitman-absolution-debuts-at-e3-2011/">E3 2011</a> and releasing the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/11/03/hitman-absolution-video-shows-stealth-combat/">full 16 minutes</a> for everyone to see afterwards to showing off the gorgeous <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/01/18/hitman-absolution-qa-io-interactive-goes-for-the-throat/">orphanage level</a>, revealing the fate of 47’s long-time handler Diana, showing off new features like Instinct and introducing exciting new gameplay series of videos called ‘Introducing’, we can safely say the fans have been with us through quite a ride thus far. And now it’s time to kick it up another level. Today, we announce two new things. One is the Hitman: Sniper Challenge pre-order bonus and the other is the release date of Absolution. Let’s start with the release date – November 20th, 2012 is the day the game will hit <a href="https://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps3/">PS3</a>. So get your behind to Mars, er, GameStop and <a href="http://www.gamestop.com/ps3/games/hitman-absolution/91072">pre-order the game</a>. Why? Well, that’s where this Sniper Challenge comes in.

<a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/playstation-the-official-magazine/">PTOM</a> loves shooters, but lately we’ve been yearning for games that go beyond the standard battlefield blastfest. From its unique cel-shaded look to its insane weapons customization to its RPG-esque gameplay elements, our cover-story game, <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/borderlands-2/">Borderlands 2</a>, looks set to deliver that “next step†experience in spades.

If you’re like me, you’ve been watching the recent Prometheus trailers (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=1byZkbNB3Jw">spoilers!</a>) over and over, pausing only to wipe the frothy spittle off your chin. If you’re <em>really</em> like me, you’ve also been wondering, “what’s it gonna take for some talented studio to create a killer game based on the Alien films?†Luckily, <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/gearbox-software/">Gearbox Software</a> is building an increasingly compelling case with <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/aliens-colonial-marines/">Aliens: Colonial Marines</a>, an upcoming big-budget <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps3/">PS3</a> shooter that aims to pick up where James Cameron’s seminal 1986 film Aliens left off. While we know a <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/02/03/randy-pitchford-talks-aliens-colonial-marines-release-date-prometheus-possibilities/">good bit</a> about the game’s tense <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/08/25/aliens-colonial-marines-qa-not-bad-for-a-human/">single-player campaign</a>, details about its multiplayer component have remained frustratingly elusive.

Hello again! Last time I was here I talked about the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/02/29/papo-yo-update-monster-evolved/">redesign of Monster</a> - now I want to give everyone an even closer look at the creative and design process for <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/papo-yo/">Papo & Yo</a> in our first-ever dev diary. Please take a look - you'll get a glimpse of Minority's office, some new ways you can interact with Monster, and even see the first prototype I designed for the game! If you've been following <a href="http://www.weareminority.com/papo-yo/">Papo & Yo</a>'s development, you know that the game was inspired by my childhood in South America and my relationship with my father. But I don't want that to be the only thing that people see when they get to play the game. Papo & Yo is also about a child's imagination, and experiencing "fantastic realities" - transforming the real world into a special world that can both help and challenge you. I feel such joy when I play with my boy and see him imagining his toys coming to life - I hope that everyone will feel this when they play Papo & Yo. More...

In this installment of our <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/05/04/the-making-of-sorcery-the-magical-technology-of-move/">"Making of Sorcery"</a> video series, we take a look at the fantasy surrounding the spell-casting gameplay and tap a few members of the development team (including myself) to discuss the origins of the story.
