				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi guys, <a href="http://www.halfbrick.com/index.php?view=article&#038;catid=34%3Agames&#038;id=104">Rocket Racing</a> is the next title to hit <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/psp-minis/">PSP minis</a> from <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/halfbrick/">Halfbrick</a>, and I’m excited to announce that it will be released next Thursday, March 11.</p>
<p>Rocket Racing has been developed from the ground up, combining high-speed futuristic racing with classic top-down gameplay, which is a perfect fit for minis. Each track has been designed with a unique twist, suspended high in the air above the clouds and cityscapes to give players a light and almost surreal feeling as they drift around the crisp, detailed courses.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="545" height="327" id="viddler_4bacf2af"><param name="movie" value="http://www.viddler.com/simple/4bacf2af/" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed src="http://www.viddler.com/simple/4bacf2af/" width="545" height="327" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" name="viddler_4bacf2af"></embed></object></p>
<p>Challenge Mode is the main backbone of gameplay, giving players a number of tasks to complete over six different tiers. Completing once challenge with its specific objectives will unlock adjacent challenges along the tier, so players can choose their own path to the final race.</p>
<p>A key part of racing is the ability to grind. Grinding is a new concept which involves positioning your rockets against the outer walls of the tracks. This opposing force will give you a speed boost as well as grind points, and can be chained for entire races to get the maximum speed possible!</p>
<p>Grand Prix mode pits players against opponents in a series of races over four difficulty levels. Completionists can collect gold <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/trophy/">trophies</a> as they race, and along with the Challenge Mode, take steps to unlocking and winning every event in the game for the elusive 100% Award!</p>
<p class="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/4401740787/" title="Rocket Racing3 by PlayStation.Blog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4037/4401740787_f6243de924.jpg" width="500" height="281" alt="Rocket Racing3" /></a></p>
<p>As we all know, multiplayer is a big part of any racing game. We didn’t want Rocket Racing to miss out on the action, so to round up the package is Party Mode! This puts up to four players in the hotseat as they take turns setting and breaking each other’s score on a huge variety of tracks, in what could be described as a game of HORSE with rocket power. Party Mode even lets players customize how to win &#8211; be it with the fastest time, highest total or single grind score!</p>
<p>Best of all, there’s no time to wait! Rocket Racing is out on March 11 on the <a href="http://us.playstation.com/PSN/Store">PlayStation Store</a> for $4.99, and is compatible with both <a href="http://us.playstation.com/psp/">PSP</a> and <a href="http://us.playstation.com/ps3/">PS3</a>. We at <a href="http://www.halfbrick.com/home">Halfbrick</a> hope you enjoy it!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey guys, this is Phil Larsen from <a href="http://www.halfbrick.com/">Halfbrick</a> checking in to give you some details for the newest addition to our range of <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/psp-minis/">PSP minis</a> – <a href="http://www.halfbrick.com/home/114-join-barry-steakfries-and-zombie-t-rex-in-age-of-zombies">Age of Zombies</a>!</p>
<p>You’ll step into the shoes of our hero, Barry Steakfries, who is thrown into a lab where Professor Brains is taking the next step to creating a zombie apocalypse – by sending them through time portals!</p>
<p class="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/4382311705/" title="Age of Zombies PSN 1 by PlayStation.Blog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2726/4382311705_92859f4c99.jpg" width="500" height="281" alt="Age of Zombies PSN 1" /></a></p>
<p>Barry doesn’t take too kindly to this news, and after dispatching Professor Brains, ventures forth into the portal to save the world from a history of eating brains. Along the way, he’ll crack bad jokes, have fun blasting heads and deal all kinds of destruction with a wide array of weapons.</p>
<p>Age of Zombies features the single player Story Mode starring Barry Steakfries, which takes place over five time periods containing three levels each. You’ll visit the Prehistoric era, Ancient Egypt, Feudal Japan and more!</p>
<p class="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/4382311603/" title="Age of Zombies PSN 2 by PlayStation.Blog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2745/4382311603_c515da1116_m.jpg" width="240" height="135" alt="Age of Zombies PSN 2" /></a>  <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/4383070654/" title="Age of Zombies PSN 3 by PlayStation.Blog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4044/4383070654_975f9d28f0_m.jpg" width="240" height="135" alt="Age of Zombies PSN 3" /></a></p>
<p>You can also unlock Survival mode, where hordes of undead will attack relentlessly in a level of your choice. Aim for the top score by killing zombies in quick succession to gain combo points, and wield a huge arsenal of weapons including the shotgun, SMG, flamethrower and minigun.</p>
<p>Age of Zombies will be released <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/playstation-network/playstation-store-playstation-network/">tomorrow</a> for $4.99, and we’re looking forward to this tongue-in-cheek game designed to make you laugh while doing what everyone loves doing best – kill zombies! Through time!</p>
