		<description><![CDATA[Guten Tag from <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/gamescom11/">gamescom</a>! Sony Online Entertainment kicked off the first day with three of our newest PSN titles – <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/rochard/">Rochard</a>, <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/payday-the-heist/">PAYDAY: The Heist</a> and <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/sideway/">Sideway: New York</a>. These latest games will engage you in graffiti adventures, environmental puzzlers and high intensity bank robberies, and will launch early this fall on the <a href="http://us.playstation.com/psn/">PlayStation Network</a> via digital download.

Rochard puts you in the shoes of astro-miner John Rochard as he uses his wits and everyday mining tools to fend off space pirates. You must save his team of missing miners and solve the mystery behind the discovery of an ancient alien artifact. The tools and crazy space gravity make for awesome puzzles, but it’s Rochard’s snarky sense of humor that really drew us to this game. <strong>Rochard will be available September 27th for download on PSN for $9.99</strong>.]]></description>
