New Releases for the Week of 01/24/10
Posted by Jay in New Releases on January 27th, 2010
This week’s biggest PS3 release is definitely MAG, and the title will hit all major release regions by the end of the week (most being tomorrow). So far, the game has garnered a lot of mix reviews, and currently has a Metacritic score of 80 (with the user score at 8.6/10), which is, for the most part, a big positive considering the game is attempting to do something no other game has, though, the title is really only going to attract a specific crowd, seeing as it’s very tactical.
Japan is also seeing 3 other releases this week, which are listed below.

MAG – January 26th // ESRB T

This week, there is only one supposed PSP release in Shadow of Destiny. I don’t know anything about the game, though, so I can’t really tell you whether or not it’s any good, but for those who followed the game, it should be available now!

Another way to earn points on PS3Blog.net
You can now earn points by posting in the forum! It will log it in your My Points page too. I updated the master points page with all the ways you can earn points as well.
- 5 Points for a reply in the Forum
- 25 Points for a New Topic Creation in the Forum
In case you missed it in the Quick News. Guests can now post in the Forum. This is just an experiment, if people abuse this with spam. I’ll make guests have read only access again. I’m still taking ideas on how we can use these points. So let’s hear them!
Here is Emrah’s idea.
Sometimes you do giveaways, we may be able to “spend” those points on lottery chances. Then you’d have to have a total points earnt and points spent information.
One thought I had is when we hold contests/giveaways. You have to spend some of your points when you win the item.
Assassin’s Creed II DLC [Prices Updated]
Posted by Trev in Assassin's Creed II, PLAYSTATION Store, PS3 on January 27th, 2010
This Thursday you can extend your ACII play time by taking part in The Battle of Forli, only $3.99 (£3.19 – confirmed price).
The History lesson;
The battle of Forli is an actual battle where the Orsi brothers attacked the city of Forli which was ruled at the time by Caterina Sforza. Ezio and Machiavelli – leader of the Florence mercenaries – make their way to the citadel of Forli with the apple of Eden to request protection from Caterina Sforza. As they approach, something goes wrong: Forli is under attack! Borgia guards are laying siege to the city. The attack seems to be lead by the two dreaded Orsi brothers. Players will have to protect the city alongside Sforza and the great Machiavelli who they have met towards the end of sequence 11. The flying machine will also be accessible in the city/region of Forli to players.
The flying machine makes a welcome return, with only a single appearance in ACII it was criminally under used, so I look forward to taking to the skies again. I hope the DLC is more than just one mission but its nice to see that it’s coming and is priced well. Bonfire of the Vanities, the second piece of ACII DLC is scheduled for late February, priced $4.99 (£4.19 – unconfirmed price).
Canadian PSN Video Store This Year?
Posted by Blackstaffer in Featured, PLAYSTATION Store, PS3 on January 27th, 2010
As a long-time Canadian (never anything else) and a long-time PS3 owner (since launch day), I’ve been waiting a long time for a decent online video rental service. Americans have a plethora of choices, most of which don’t work here. I can use iTunes, I guess, but I don’t want to watch movies on my Mac or hook up my Mac to my HDTV every time.
I want a nice, easy, simple to use solution. With lots of variety (unlike Rogers OnDemand) and decent prices (also unlike Rogers OnDemand). (Rogers is my cable company.)
Gosh, look, I have a PS3 sitting right there. It does online video rental! If you’re in the USA, Great Britain, Germany, or France (or others?). But not in Canada. Gaaaa!
Whenever a post is put up on the official PlayStation blog about video content, one of the first responses is always to ask about the video store coming to Canada.
Well Tosh put me in touch with someone at Sony Canada, so of course that’s the first thing I asked him. What did he say? His exact words? “Video store will come Canada this year.” Can I have a WOOT? I know that’s up to eleven months of waiting still ahead of me. But at least I know the progress bar has an end, unlike of one of those circular never-ending ones.

FIFA World Cup 2010
FIFA World Cup 2010 has been announced much to everyone’s surprise, but surprisingly they added a new feature that seems to make it all worthwhile. Aside from the usual tweaks of graphics and game engine, is the ability to play the World Cup tournament online. Yep. The whole freaking tournament!
