Posts From July, 2011
We’re seeing loads and loads of new tracks popping up every day with all the recent DLC releases, but where will you find the time to browse them all? Good question. Why not let us do the “shopping” for you? For the next few weeks, Top Tracks will feature some great tracks we’ve collected using the new DLC. We’ll be searching for tracks featuring new content like Arctic, Western, Big City, Prehistoric, Alien (see below), and more. Who knows what we will find? Maybe we will locate a mashup of an Arctic Alien Waterpark! *fingers crossed*
Let us know if you find any recent gems using the new DLC worth promoting by visiting our forum post HERE.

Over the next two months we’ve got some pretty darned cool LittleBigPlanet 2 DLC packs heading your way. I’m sure you’ve noticed the title of this post, so let’s not delay any further – from the depths of Midgar, I’m delighted to unveil…the FINAL FANTASY VII costume pack!
Coming to the PlayStation Store on July 12th, these costumes will let you re-live the struggle of Cloud, Aerith, and the rest of AVALANCHE against Shinra, from one of the most iconic and critically acclaimed video games of all time.
Exciting stuff – but that’s not all. I’m sure lots of you have been enjoying the continuing adventures of Cole McGrath in inFAMOUS 2. Those adventures can now continue even further thanks to the inFAMOUS 2 mini-pack. Released this week for $2.99, it contains costumes for Good Cole and Bad Cole, as well as a whole host of new stickers.

With a special July fourth edition of The Drop comes a patriotic salute to what is surely one of the year’s most anticipated betas. Soon enough you’ll be able to join in on the UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception Multiplayer Beta, available now to all PSN users. PlayStation Plus members have been enjoying early access to the beta all week, but its time we open things up!
Also, this week — the Earth needs some defending! Sunshine, barbecue and fireworks will come in between you and the apocalyptic arthropod uprising in Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon. Lastly, PSone Japan Imports return, and PS Move goes bananas with Ape Escape. Happy fourth everyone and see you online in the U3 Beta.

Despite several big headlines, this week was handily dominated by theUNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta launch for PlayStation Plus members and the ensuing analysis. By and large, early feedback seems to be positive. Though I’ve only managed an hour of hands-on time, I’m fast developing a torrid love affair with the G-Mal triple-burst assault rifle. I definitely plan on squeezing in as many rounds as possible over the long Fourth of July weekend, in between sessions of Batman: Arkham Asylum and inFAMOUS 2.
Are you playing the UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta? What do you like and dislike so far? Be sure to let us know in the comments…and enjoy your long holiday weekend!

Like UNCHARTED
Affordable 3D gaming was a reoccurring theme at this year’s PlayStation E3 keynote, whether it was the announcement of PlayStation’s upcoming 3D Gaming Display and redesigned 3D glasses. But even with more sophisticated and affordable 3D technology, we need 3D games to play and 3D movies to watch. That’s where this list comes in: I’ve collected almost every piece of stereoscopic 3D-capable PS3 content here, from Blu-ray to PSN. If I missed a game, let me know in the comments!
