		<description><![CDATA[Hey, <a href="http://us.playstation.com/psn/">PlayStation Network</a> friends! :-) I wanted to stop by to tell you that Pinballistik is coming to the <a href="http://us.playstation.com/psn/playstation-store/index.htm">PlayStation Store</a> on November 1st for only $3.99! Test your mettle in the non-stop action of <em>battle</em> pinball. You can complete exciting features on your side of the table or try to get the ball past your opponent on the opposing side. We have something for those pinball purists out there too: Each of the uniquely themed battle tables has its own classic table.

Start the Pinballistik experience off with Circle the Wagons. Mosey on down to the saloon or pay a visit to the can-can dancers. Make sure to finish loading that revolver before your opponent, then take aim and FIRE! Pinball has never been this intense.
 
Pinballistik will launch with day-one DLC tables Sector X and Made of Money. This lets you pick and choose the tables you want to download. Don’t worry about the price: each additional game pack is only $2.99.]]></description>

<p>The goal of Test Yourself is to provide users with an affordable, professional assessment of various aspects of their personalities and psychological abilities. After the release of <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/03/08/testyourself-psychology-hits-psn-today-will-reveal-full-psychological-portrait/">the initial pack</a>, we received a ton of positive feedback about this game and we are very excited to release the next part of the Test Yourself experience.

The initial game <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/testyourself-psychology/">Test Yourself: Psychology</a>, which included test packs for Intelligence and Nervous System, was one of the top five downloaded games on PSN and is available for $2.99.</p>
<p>Test Yourself is a serious scientific product developed by a team of professional psychologists and counselors. The product’s affordable price is part of an effort to support increasing public interest towards psychology. By combining a scientific approach with the fun of the PlayStation platform, Test Yourself offers an accessible and enjoyable experience for audiences of all ages and cultural backgrounds.</p>
