Also, that's great news about Sly Cooper pricing. I'm actually going to buy it day 1 simply out of principle. I really, really support the idea of different pricing for games. Not every title has to be a £40 retail release or £5 digital release. There's a middle ground between the two, and I think reasonably-priced retail releases in genres which aren't too hot right now is a really smart move.

Did anyone get that Life of Pixel PSM game? I'm thinking about picking it up. It's $1.99

You play a pixel that explores all the various old school consoles

It sounds interesting. Bit of sad new regarding the developer. Basically their future projects seem to be on hold.

Some quotes on the ps blog.

lol well the dev certainly isn't holding back with senran Kagura...but tbh feel like they are over doing it

oh and the anime started airing too. Haven't got the chance to see it yet but I saw the first episode has been subbed already

It seems to be working working, though :P (well, + the anime + the 3DS fans I guess :P)

Regarding the picture, check out those... jaggies in that shadow.  Horrific.

Yeah I picked it up last night. I really want to support the developer and hope this will create enough buzz to help them raise the funding to finish their Vita specific projects as particularly that VTrax looked really good!

Life of Pixel is basically a single screen 8 bit twitch platform game (edit, scratch that, now I'v got to ZX Spectrum there are multi screen levels, so I guess side scrolling will kick in come the NES/GameBoy stages). It's a bit like soundshapes in that you collect tokens/coins on the screen. Getting them all opens the exit. It's pretty tricky though as 1 touch of an enemy or landing in water etc is an instadeath. It's pretty addictive trying to finish the more challenging levels (think soundshapes death mode without the randomness) and it also has a nice chiptune sound track. Personally I think at £1.59/$1.99 you can't go wrong.

The asthetics are also fantastic with each world being themed around a specific computer/console from the 8 bit days and all the graphics for the levels in that world looking appropriate for the hardware. I'm currently on Atari 2600 :D [EDIT] make that ZX Spectrum!

Resistance: Burning Skies is a really good game.  A bit short, and with some lack of epic soundtrack, but still it is really fun.  And the last boss looks like taken directly from a PS3.   There are some bland textures here and there, but the graphics are quite solid, and the story even though is nothing breathtaking, it gets the job done, and drives you forward to kick a$$.

The platinum is really easy :D

Yeah, I enjoyed Resistance. If it had another 2-3 stages with the sort of gameplay the latter chapters have (for me the gameplay really got exciting by the 2nd half of the game) then I think it would have faired much better. It might be an easy platinum, but it's a cheeky one too :p mandatory online pass usage to attain it haha. Not such a bad idea tbh.
