2012 what a year! I'm just happy that the world didn't end; the plethora of great games available via the Playstation Network was simply a bonus. The likes of Journey, Tokyo Jungle and Borderlands 2 were downloadable straight onto your hard drive. Which was the best? You can vote on Sony's site today and help decide which games get reduced for a week. Get involved and make them co-op!
Everybody stay calm! You may have noticed that you're having difficulty logging into the PlayStation Network today. Online gaming, the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Home, and the ability to access and manage your accounts are all offline. This is part of scheduled maintenance. Obviously, online co-op has been disabled for all of you favorite PlayStation 3, PSN, and Vita games. How long will the system be down?
This two-player, local and online co-op game just doesn't seem to stay down for long: starting October 4th (next Tuesday), the Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition will appear on the PlayStation Network as an on-demand title. I can't see this really being top news, though, because everyone has played and loved this game by now. Right? Anyone?
The sequel to the reboot of the Capcom classic, Bionic Commando, is due out this week. The original game was best known for its bionic form of locomotion and unforgiving difficulty. Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2 launches today on the PlayStation Network, though as of this writing, it's not up on the PSN Store. It is scheduled to hit the Xbox LIVE Arcade tomorrow. Whichever Marketplace, Store, or flea market gets the game up first will receive my fifteen bucks (or 1200 Microsoft points). Two players can co-op locally as Nathan "Rad" Spencer.
