As a life-long gamer (four plus decades) I’ve seen many, many games. Some great and some...well, not-so-great. The first and foremost question that I ask for ANY game is simply “is it any fun?†If all the technical aspects of a game do not add to a sense of immersion or fun then I consider that game a missed opportunity. I recently sat in for the first time with the game team on <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/medieval-moves-deadmunds-quest/">Medieval Moves: Deadmund’s Quest</a> while they were putting the finishing touches on the game, coming Tuesday, November 15th. Not to my surprise, the game not only met my expectations but far surpassed them. The first comment I will make to anyone who asks me to best describe Medieval Moves: Deadmund’s Quest will simply be “try it.†I know that statement won’t win any literary awards for video game commentary, but it is my honest answer. Those that have tried Medieval Moves: Deadmund’s Quest agree that the gameplay speaks volumes. More...

Barbily Games have just announced that their new free to play strategy war game Star Supremacy is nearly ready for Open Beta. In Star Supremacy you play the role of a colonist who is battling for territories on other planets.

At the beginning, not only do you have to fight for territories, but you also have to try and find new hidden technology that leads to the discovery of a mysterious deep colony ship. Once you have built your ship, you can then start to explore the surronding galaxies. Some of the other gameplay features include *A new economy system and trade route Overturn the Routine Battle Mode Alliance Interaction Challenging powerful bosses To get hold of the Open Beta code which starts on November 15th, you need to register at Star Supremacy or on various MMO Gaming sites. They are also hosting a Facebook Event where three random players will be selected to win a gaming headset once their Facebook page reaches 30,000 likes. More...

<a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/bioshock/">BioShock</a> is one of the most surprising games of this generation. First of all, it isn’t inspired by a real-life conflict, a film or another game series, but a moderately successful novel called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_Shrugged">Atlus Shrugged by Ayn Rand</a>, which put forward a philosophy called Objectivism, or ‘rational selfishness’. BioShock’s writer and Creative Director, Ken Levine, and his team are now working on <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/bioshock-infinite/">BioShock Infinite</a>, a departure from the dark, dystopian corridors of Rapture into the bright skies of Columbia, a floating city named after the female personification of the United States of America. I recently had the chance to sit down with Ken to talk about the philosophies that underpinned the original BioShock and how, if at all, these are being applied to <a href="http://us.playstation.com/games-and-media/games/bioshock-infinite-ps3.html">BioShock Infinite</a>.

This Thursday, November 10th <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/playstation-home/">PlayStation Home</a> will be updated with a variety of virtual items, exclusive videos, expansions to popular community events, and even a huge upgrade to one of the most popular games on the platform. Those of you that own the mega-popular <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/scribble-shooter/">Scribble Shooter</a> - the top-down, shoot ‘em up arcade-style game known for its addictive gameplay and unique art style – will now be able to share the game with your friends. This additional functionality was developed based upon the feedback of the PlayStation Home community, and we’re proud to release this totally free upgrade to all Scribble Shooter fans effective immediately. Enjoy! Players that go to the newly-opened Pier Park will find that a new level of the classic Turkey Chase event has been released complete with brand new rewards. For those unfamiliar with this PlayStation Home tradition, the premise is simple: In celebration of the impending Turkey Day, players that approach the gathering of turkeys in Pier Park will enter into a game wherein you chase a bunch of wily turkeys around the space (word to the wise: these turkeys are quite cunning so you’d better bring appropriate footwear).

Today it's my pleasure to announce that Boston Red Sox All-Star first baseman Adrian Gonzalez will be the cover athlete for MLB 12 The Show, which will hit store shelves on March 6, 2012 for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, just in time for Spring Training. A candidate for this year’s America League Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award, Gonzalez is a four-time All-Star (2008-2011), three-time Rawlings Gold Glove winner (2008, 2009, 2011), and 2011 Silver Slugger Award winner. The Show has been and continues to be the market leading and <a href="http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/mlb-11-the-show">highest ranked</a> officially licensed baseball title of this console generation and the <a href="http://www.gamerankings.com/ps3/616326-mlb-11-the-show/index.html">number-one</a> rated sports video game over the past four years, so we're psyched to have one the best all-around players in baseball representing MLB 12! The first overall pick by the Florida Marlins in the 2000 MLB Draft, Gonzalez has really come in his own, both on the field and at the plate. A little history on him...in 2010 while playing for the San Diego Padres, he was named team MVP for the third consecutive year and fourth time overall. Then after the blockbuster trade that sent him to the Boston Red Sox last offseason, he enjoyed one of his best professional seasons to date, which included his 1,000 career hit, fourth consecutive All-Star selection, third Gold Glove, first Silver Slugger Award, and a top five finish in batting average (.338) and RBI (117) in all of baseball—not too bad!

During this summer’s <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/gamescom11/'>http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/gamescom11/">Gamescom</a>, we invited <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/author/cmillar/'>http://blog.us.playstation.com/author/cmillar/">Chris Millar</a> to join us on the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/">PS.Blog</a> and introduce <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/fun-bits-interactive/">Fun Bits Interactive</a> and their first creation for <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps-vita/">PlayStation Vita</a>, <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/08/18/escape-plan-watch-the-ps-vita-trailer-everyones-talking-about/">Escape Plan</a>. Aside from the gorgeous black-and-white, film noir art style that pops right off the massive OLED screen, Escape Plan is truly unique game, thanks to its two memorable characters, LAARGE and LIL. It’s time to check on their progress. Escape Plan Producer <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/author/mmorton/">Matt Morton</a> hopped in front of our cameras at <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/santa-monica-studios/">Sony Santa Monica Studios</a> recently, and was happy to give us this update on the art-direction, PSVita multi-touch controls, and to show us why Escape Plan is such a harsh, but addictive puzzler.

We here at <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/playstation-canada/">PlayStation Canada</a> are excited to announce the launch of the PlayStation Lounge in EB Games’ downtown Toronto location. Designed from the ground up, the lounge will be located on the upper level of the EB Games’ downtown location at 267 Yonge Street in Toronto, Ontario.

<em><a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/dust-514/">DUST 514</a> is an MMOFPS coming to <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps3/">PS3</a> with large-scale vehicle and infantry combat taking place in – and with a real time connection to - the EVE Online universe on PC. Players are able to band up into corporations (e.g. guilds) and wage territorial conquest on thousands of planets. Following is a thematic description of Rapid Deployment Vehicles, or RDVs. The RDVs deliver vehicles to players on the battlefield, provided that they own the vehicle’s blueprint, and are skilled for its operation. The RDVs are AI driven, with a robust pathfinding system that allows them to deploy anywhere on even the largest battlefields. (We will give more insight into the game’s vehicle mechanics in a blog post soon.)</em> Shrouded in advanced optical stealth and guided by automated networked navigation systems, the J42 “Sky Lift†RDV (Rapid Deployment Vehicle) drone is able to deliver even the heaviest armor, with pinpoint accuracy, anywhere on the battlefield. The proliferation of this invaluable tech has changed the face of ground warfare in the EVE universe, giving front-line commanders the ability to strike enemy positions with little warning or reinforce vulnerable points at a moment’s notice.

<a href="http://www.callofduty.com/">Call of Duty</a> players all have one big thing in common: Call of Duty. Sounds obvious, I know, but I think that’s enough. Now, some of you reading this are fantastic Call of Duty players. Some of you stink on ice. Let me slide over on this big block of frozen water to make room for you folks in the latter camp. Come sit next to me and we can talk about why we always seem to be on the wrong end of a noob tube. That said, the gap between the masters and the students is not that wide. We’re all playing for the same reason – Call of Duty games are fun, that’s all. I’ll always take an opportunity to learn and improve, but even when I get my ass handed to me online, as long as I enjoy the company of the people I’m playing with, I’m more likely to leave a session laughing, regardless of KDR. This is where <a href="http://www.callofduty.com/elite">Call of Duty Elite</a> comes in. Not many games have 30 million people playing them, so the idea behind Elite was to give all those players a common ground – a service that would help them connect, compete, and improve. We’re all playing together as it is; let’s play together better. More...

<h4>Coming to the PlayStation Store!</h4> We’re pleased to bring to you a new costume from our friends over at Oddworld Inhabitants <http://www.oddworld.com/?p=875>.

Hey fight fans, I’m here to give you the run-down on Fight Night Champion Customizable, available today exclusively on <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/psn/">PSN</a> starting at $4.99. With <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/fight-night-champion/">Fight Night Champion</a>, we delivered a dramatically new gameplay experience. In creating Champion Mode, it was the first time that EA SPORTS had incorporated a story-based game mode into a sports title. Inspired by classic boxing movies, Champion Mode allows players to step into the shoes of Andre Bishop, an up-and-coming middleweight contender who learns that the road to becoming a champion in professional boxing is one that is filled with unimaginable highs and brutal lows. Champion Mode tells a story of redemption and perseverance in one of the toughest sports ever imagined. Now with Fight Night Champion available as a customizable digital download exclusively on PSN, we’re once again delivering a new experience to gamers; we’re giving them the opportunity to customize their experience to meet their gaming needs. We anticipate a few questions, so here’s more detail on this unique approach to downloadable games: More...

Hello Uberhero fans! Get your thumbs ready for a brand new foot-tappin’, song-hummin’, eyeball-stabbin’ adventure! Today, <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/patapon-3/">Patapon 3</a> fans will be able to partake in a slew of new multiplayer adventures. Take on Stone Golems, Salamanders, Deth squads and prove your Patapon-greatness. If this isn’t enough, there are also two new missions against the giant eye-sore (ha!) Darantula - - this evil life-sucking nemesis will challenge even the best of rhythm-keepers with its deadly poison attacks. Once you survive (make that <em>if</em> you survive) this deadly monster, rile up a squad-o-four to take on the dreaded sandworm Dokakanel -- he’s back, and he’s angry! There you have it folks: Deth squads, check; poison spewing evil monsters, check; earth-shaking fire breathing sandworms, check. All this eye-watering greatness will be coming to you today! It’s what your thumbs have been craving... More...

If there’s any game series that’s synonymous with PlayStation, it’s <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/wipeout/">Wipeout</a>. This fast-paced combat racer has appeared on every single PlayStation console, and now it’s preparing to make the jump to <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps-vita/">PS Vita</a> with Wipeout 2048. We recently interviewed producer Michael Pulst, who gave us a tour of the new control options (front and rear touchscreen as well as motion controls), gameplay refinements, and multiplayer support between PS Vita and PS3. Read on for highlights from our interview. <strong>PlayStation.Blog: What are longtime fans likely to notice first about Wipeout 2048 on PS Vita?</strong> Michael Pulst, Assistant Producer: We’ve made the tracks a little bit wider. Wipeout has always been known for its intense, hardcore racing; in the past games, you were not only fighting the other players but you’re also fighting the track. It was so hardcore that it actually turned some people off; it was a barrier to entry, and the team recognized this. By making the tracks a bit wider, you’re able to concentrate more on the race and fighting off the other players. More...

The numbers are in: It’s time to break down the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/top-20/">Top 20 PSN games</a> from October! Whether you’ve played them all or missed a game or two, we hope you’ll find this month’s numbers informative and interesting. This list tracks top games purchased, downloaded and installed; it does not track games given away as part of <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/playstation-plus/">PlayStation Plus</a>. With that, let’s get to the list! In the chill of October, PSN gamers have been keeping warm with NBA JAM: On Fire Edition! But co-op bank robbery shooter PAYDAY: The Heist came in close (with a release in the later part of October as well), along with other new arrivals including Dungeon Defenders and Crysis. Also notable are the PS2 Classics that hit the Store with Odin Sphere and God Hand both cracking the top 20. More...

We just updated the <a href="https://music.qriocity.com/">Music Unlimited</a> service application on PS3 with some great features that many of you have been asking for. Cosmetically, you’ll probably first notice that our new branding has finally landed on <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps3/">PS3</a>. More importantly, however, the new app gives you added control over how you listen to and access music. We’re most excited about the new “My Channels†function that lets you build custom radio stations around your favorite artists. Simply type in the name of the artist and we’ll populate a station with songs from that artist and related artists. Another great enhancement to the service makes it easier to skip tracks you dislike. Really don’t like a song that is playing on one of the channels? Just “dislike†it and we’ll automatically skip to the next one. More...

When someone plays <a href="http://trapdoorinc.com/playwarp/">Warp</a> for the first time, they generally have one reaction: laugh at the volume of blood, then turn to me and say, "I didn't expect that." This is what happens when a cuddly alien makes a scientist explode from the inside out. With its sci-fi world, unique mechanics, and combination of adorable character meets extreme gore, Warp is the kind of game you might not expect to see – if it weren't for the digital space, that is. So what's the game about, other than pulverizing scientists? Warp is a puzzle-based stealth action game where you play as Zero, an adorable alien trapped in a human testing facility. You've been captured and experimented on, and wake up from your ordeal with one ultimate goal: escape. Easier said than done but, lucky for us, cute little Zero isn't really that helpless. Warp is all about your alien powers, and the entire game was designed as a showcase for their many applications. We put a lot of work into making sure that, not only are these powers really fun, but players can combine them in many different ways for a completely unique play experience. The powers (we’ve revealed so far) are: More...

It’s only fitting that this week we feature one the of the game’s most prolific and creative track designers, atheistsw. He shares his personal favorite tracks as well as in-depth tutorial on the ins and outs of his popular and unique style of track design. Hopefully you can take away some great tips to become an even better track creator -- just in the nick of time to take your tracks on the road to show your friends at work or school, on the bus, on a plane, on a horse or on a train! <strong> Invasion: Aftermath</strong> - Creating this alien invasion took all of my imagination and editorial know-how to succeed but the end result is one of my most fun courses to date. <strong> Verazzo Pass</strong> - Much time was taken to create this scenic downhill-uphill course to try and stamp my own unique signature on the base arctic theme. The result is one of my favorite tracks in a long while. <strong> Mary Jane's Mega Mall</strong> - A logistical nightmare to create, I was very pleased with the scale with which I was able to create this typical multi-storshopping mall.

I hope you remembered to set your clocks back an hour this morning. Rather than banking the extra hour for sleep, I invested it in a bonus hour of Batman: Arkham City. If you've played it, you already know how incredible a game it is, but I'd still like to finish it off before the next 9 days bring us Skyrim, Assassin's Creed Revelations, and Modern Warfare 3. It's been a great launch for UNCHARTED 3: Drake's Deception, and more Drake-centric stories came through this week.
