Wait, didn’t all the games come out last week? Nonsense! Another huge week of gaming is ready to storm the world of PlayStation, starting with the frantic arcade arenas of Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions.
The legendary shooter series hits PS4 and PS3 this week with more than 50 levels of heart-pounding battles. Fend off waves of enemies using devastating weapons, unique companion drones, and your own reflexes. Death comes quickly on these shifting 3D battlescapes, so stay light on your digital toes and you could earn a coveted spot on the leaderboards.
And that’s just the beginning. Save the global cat population in Aqua Kitty DX (actual plot point), uncover the secrets within Japan’s Akihabara district in Akiba’s Trip, or just brawl in the 1920’s with Speakeasy. The choices!
For a full list of games coming to PlayStation this week, read on. And, as ever, enjoy the Drop!
New PlayStation Games This Week

Aqua Kitty — Milk Mine Defender DX
PS4, PS Vita — Digital (Cross Buy)
Due to a sudden shortage of milk, cats around the world are forced to seek out new sources to get their fix. You and your team of milk mining kittens have overcome a fear of water to drill down under the ocean seabed and begin extracting vast reserves of what seems to be naturally forming full-fat milk.

Each quest in Pocket RPG is a new adventure. The hero starts at level zero with an empty satchel and collects items rapidly, building their strength to dizzying proportions. In Pocket RPG, items matter and the way you use them is even more important.
Pocket RPG provides hours of fantasy hack ‘n slash mayhem.
Speakeasy
PS4 — Digital
While it might look like a fighter on the outside, Speakeasy is an incredibly simple to learn, but difficult to master game that will require you to match wits with your opponent, who happens to be standing right next to you. Each player will take on the role of a fighter vying for the Fisticuffs League Champion crown!
Thomas Was Alone
PS4 — Digital (Three Way Cross Buy)
Thomas Was Alone is the critically-acclaimed indie platformer about friendship and jumping. Guide a group of sentient rectangles through a series of environments, combining their skills to reach the end of the level. Listen to awesome music by David Housden, negotiate obstacles meticulously placed by Mike Bithell, and immerse yourself in the characters’ journey with a voiceover read wistfully and amusingly by Danny Wallace.
Demos and Betas
Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign- PS Plus Demo — PS4
LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham Demo — PS3
The information above is subject to change without notice.
Geometry Wars 3 and Guilty Gear Xrd Beta for me this week that comes out pretty much.
Can we get rid of the gross GTA backgrounds on this blog now?
Anyone else notice that suikoden 2 was rated by the ESRB again? I’m not talking about the rating that happened a few months ago, I’m talking like in the past couple weeks.
SUIKODEN II is being released on PSN as a PS1 Classic, but I don’t know when. December seems likely because it’s the game’s anniversary.
I should get a glass case and put Akiba’s Trip in it and watch people face, when they look ad the title :)
In answer to those above asking about Jetpack Joyride Deluxe, we have added a large amount of content to match the other mobile platforms, including S.A.M and the Wave Rider. The Sleigh of Awesome will also be available for the festive season too. Jetpack Joyride Deluxe will be available for $1.99 in the SCEA territories (SCEE territories will have a release one week later).
Cheers,
Ross.
