The quite interesting Datura for the PS3 is the obvious highlight of this week’s PlayStation Store Update. There’s also a couple of full PS3 titles, a Spec Ops: The Line demo, and an assortment of add-ons. Other than that, not all that much.
It’s actually kind of surprising that there hasn’t been a new console game based on the Family Guy franchise since the PS2 and Xbox game released by 2K Games back in 2006. This time, Activision and Fox are teaming up for some probably inappropriate gaming hi-jinks.
While it’s not necessarily official numbers by any means, Amazon and Activision have revealed that pre-orders for Call of Duty: Black Ops II have destroyed the number of pre-orders for the original Black Ops (and Modern Warfare 3) for day 1.
Fun abilities and awesome movement aren’t enough to save this open world sandbox follow-up from mediocrity. Dull characters and plot, along with some technical issues, work against Prototype 2.
Rockstar Games definitely wants to focus on the unique multiplayer aspects of Max Payne 3, and today they’ve sent over Part 2 of their multiplayer gameplay video series.
A closer look at the basic controls and gameplay for the gorgeous Arc System Works-developed Persona fighter spin-off. Fight!
A totally awesome update this week especially for PlayStation Plus subscribers. Awesomenauts and Trine 2 are free, along with 2 classic Castlevania games, a pair of minis and more. Regular PSN users have quite a lot as well.
Rockstar Games sent over details on the multiplayer content sheduled to be released for Max Payne 3 soon after launch. And of course, if you want to make the most of the game and DLC, you’d best consider picking up a Rockstar Pass.
Sega this morning announced that they are not at all done with mascot kart racing games yet. Instead they’ve announced Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed for the Xbox 360, PS3, PS Vita, Nintendo 3DS and PC. Update: Lots of screens added.
Dishonored is looking ridiculously cool so far, with style, interesting concepts and immersive FPS gameplay to spare. Bethesda this morning sent over a selection of new screens showing off various settings within the game.
God of War: Ascension was announced not all that long ago, and today Sony blew the doors off the quite interesting sounding new Kratos adventure a bit. Check out the first media and new details.
It’s a new week, so we have a new batch of games set to be released at retail. There’s not a whole lot really, though the excellent Mortal Kombat for the PS Vita is probably the highlight along with Sniper Elite V2 for the PS3 and Xbox 360, and Tera Online, the new MMORPG for Windows PCs.
SCEA this morning announced what has been rumored (but pretty much confirmed) for weeks. PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is essentially Super Smash Bros. with PlayStation characters for the PS3, but fans won’t care much. Check out the first screens, video interview and details.
Square Enix and IO Interactive this morning announced that they’ve secured some Hollywood talent to lend their voices and motion capture skills to the upcoming Hitman: Absolution.
Activision today sent over even more new screens of the Dinobots in Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. Check out Grimlock, Snarl, Slug and Swoop in action.

Next week’s PlayStation Store Update is looking mighty fine for PlayStation Plus subscribers, but this week is not so shabby either with The Walking Dead, Bejeweled 3, Darkstalkers 3, a Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds bundle, a PS Vita Skype app and more.
