Serious Sam HD will hit Xbox Live and the Playstation Network sometime this month for 1200 Microsoft Points and $15 respectively.

Sony has recently announced via the Playstation Blog that they will be teaming up with Amazon.com to offer Playstation Network content on the retailer’s website.

This means that you will be able to purchase games such as Flower, PAIN, Pixel Junk Eden, SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo and WipEout Pure on Amazon.com and then you will be given a code to redeem on your Playstation 3.

We’re not exactly sure of the benefits of such a partnership other than there being another place to digitally buy your games at but this also opens up a whole new door for gift ideas.

Despite facing a delay at the end of July, Frozenbyte’s Trine will officially make its way onto the North American Playstation Store this October 22nd.

Make note that European PS3 owners have had their hands on side scrolling platformer for almost 2 weeks now so it’s nice to see that Frozenbyte and Nobilis (publisher) are taking the woes of North American gamers into account.

No word on pricing but we’ll let you know as soon as it’s made known.

SCEA spokesperson Patrick Seybold comments;

SCEA is aware of reports that PS3 owners are experiencing isolated issues with their PS3 system since installing the most recent system software update. Rest assured that we are looking into the matter and will provide an update here as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience, as it’s our mission to deliver the best consumer experience on all PlayStation platforms.

This game is basically a standalone expansion for C&C Red Alert 3 but with a bit of twists and turns incorporated into it. Don’t understand? Watch the above video and I’m sure you’ll see things a lot clearer.

EA Sports

European gamers, on the other hand, will be getting the demo on September 10th, one week prior to us Americans.

If, however, you don’t want to get your hands on the game before you physically get your hands on the game, you’re going to have to wait until it hits store shelves for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on October 20th.

As you can see above, the document clearly states that Hothead Games’ Braid will be made avaialble for Sony’s Playstation 3.

Unfortunately, this is all we have to go by for now, we won’t know an official release date or price point until Sony comes forth and gives us one.

Ashes Cricket 2009 is set to come out for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, and PC systems in the United Kingdom and North America on August 7th, and a bit later on August 13th for Australia.

You can download the PC demo over at FileFront.

SOCOM

Rogers also went on to say that in reward for the community’s loyalty to the franchise they will be greeted with a patch at some point in the near future. Exactly what the patch entails, we’ll have to wait to find out.

via Joystiq

We can probably expect the game to not release this entire month, as earlier planned (despite some confusion).

If you really have been waiting this long for the puzzle platformer, you should probably just grab the Windows version off of Steam. The game has already received a patch and has been out since early this month.

It also turns out that a new Map Pack will also be seeing release today, featuring six multiplayer maps from every DLC released so far; Steel & Titanium, Flash & Thunder and Napalm & Cordite. As for true Killzone fans who already have the DLC, the map pack doesn’t have anything you already don’t have.

The Map Pack Bundle retails for $11.99 in the States and £9.99 for Europe.

It was recently made known that Invincible Tiger: The Legend of Han Tao will be released on the XBLA and PSN in August for 1200 Microsoft Points and $15, respectively.

For those of you not familiar with the Blitz Arcade developed/Namco Bandai published Invincible Tiger, it is a sidescroller that will feature beam em up’ gameplay found in classic titles such as Streets of Rage.

Furthermore, players will be able to progress through the Invincible Tiger’s campaign in other single player mode or online/local co-op. However, if you get bored of that, you can play the game’s timed Endurance Mode which will pit players against a neverending onslaught of enemies.

Sony has recently made it known that classic games other than previous Playstation titles have made their way to the Japanese Playstation Network.

The classic games in question are those found on the Turbografx-16 such as Bomberman ‘94, Sengoku Mahjong, Devil’s Crush and New Adventure Island all priced at 600 yen or about $6. Furthermore, all 4 titles will be playable on both the PSP and Playstation 3.

With Nintendo’s Virtual Console service proving to be quite profitable, it’s no surprise that Sony too would hop on the bandwagon to offer such games. Let’s just hope the same services gets implemented into the American Playstation Network.

Have you played Battlefield 1943? If so, have you died? If yes then perhaps you were one of the 5 million virtual deaths that happened on the first day the game hit the market.

Furthermore, on Xbox Live alone there were more than 29 years of gameplay logged on the first day as well.

Crazy? Yes. I’m sure part of Battlefield 1943’s success could be attributed to the fact that ti was priced at only $15 or 1200 Microsoft Points. Not to mention the fact that you didn’t even have to get off the couch to purchase the game as it is offered over both Xbox Live and the Playstation network.

As for everyone else, the free demo will be released exactly one week later on July 30th, which features the Giants vs. Cowboys.

This year’s installment will be introducing cooperative gameplay, which is a breath of fresh air for the Madden series. Madden NFL 2010 will be touching down in stores on August 14th for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PSP, Wii, Nintendo DS, and iPhone.

It’s no secret that LittleBigPlanet has an extensive library of downloadable content making it almost impossible for gamers new on the scene to keep up. Well, if recent reports are true, Sony is going to make it a lot easier for said gamers to keep on the ball.

Apparently, a LittleBigPlanet Game of the Year edition will be released for the Playstation 3 at some point this year that will include most of the game’s DLC already on the Playstation Network.

While there’s no official confirmation from Sony, I’d say there is a pretty good chance this will happen. I mean, Sony needs something to fill up those Blu-ray discs with, right?

We learned back at E3 that Microsoft would be discontinuing their Xbox Originals service to make way for their all new Games on Demand service that would let gamers download full Xbox 360 titles. This led many gamers to turn their head towards Sony asking if they too would offer an extensive library of full retail games for digital deliver. I mean they already offer games like Warhawk and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, right?

Eric Lempel, an exec over at Sony, responded to the idea:

It’s not something we have planned, just because the size of the games is massive. With Blu-ray we can put up to 50 gigs on a dual-layer disc, while [Xbox 360] is still on a 9-gig media. So technically it’s possible, but I think the issue would be, ‘Do you want to download 40 gigs and keep that on your hard drive?

I’ll have to agree with Mr. Lempel, downloading a 40GB game and storing it on the PS3’s harddrive wouldn’t be my idea of a walk in the park. However, waht about the multiplatform games that only take up a fraction of a Blu-ray’s
