Frozenbyte’s Trine to hit North American PSN this month
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.

Worms Review: Chaotic Retro Fun
Team based cooperative gameplay has always been popular. Whether you’re joining with friends to become the greatest fake band of all time or shooting up aliens with a buddy across the country, gamers have often gotten by with a little help from their friends. Yet nothing equals the sheer joy of smashing your friends into a grim digital pulp and dancing on their electronic graves.
That’s the idea behind Worms, one of the most recent additions to the Playstation Network. It’s already been out for Xbox Live Arcade for more than two years but its continued success prompted a port. It’s actually even older than that, with the original Worms having debuted on PC in 1995. After remakes and spin-offs the game landed as a remake on these two current-gen systems.
Capcom PS1 titles coming to PSN
Sony announced the availablity of full games for download from their Playstation Store some time ago but still there is a drought of Playstation 1 games. Well, a quick posting done by Capcom’s Christian Svensson over at the Capcom-Unity boards gives us all a ray of hope.
Apparently, Capcom has submitted a number of their Playstation 1 titles for later sale in the Playstation Store. However, he is quoted as saying the following, “Word I got back this morning is that this may take a bit more time than anticipated.”
More time than anticipated huh? They better at least be good ones if we’re going to have to wait. Which of Capcom’s Playstation 1 titles would you guys like to see for sale in the Playstation Store?
Capcom Gets Custom Storefront on PSN
Seeing as how popular PlayStation Store is now, Sony has set out to reward the publishers who release games for the console, with the first being a custom storefront for popular Japanese publisher Capcom.
"As you may know, Capcom has been a huge supporter of PlayStation Network, so we collaborated on a special storefront to coincide with the release of Age of Booty," wrote Sony’s Ro Hernandez on the PlayStation Blog.
Custom storefronts for other publishers will follow in the future, though it’s unknown exactly which publishers will get love from Sony.
Capcom’s store will open tomorrow with the weekly PlayStation Store update.
PS3, PSP Updates Coming, PlayStation Store On-the-go
Continuing its tradition of breaking hacked firmware and offering even more new features, Sony issued details for the PS3 v2.50 firmware and the PSP v5.00 firmware updates, both of which will arrive later this month.
The PS3 update will let you capture your own in-game screenshots, though this will depend from title to title. It will also add support for the official PS3 bluetooth headset, a new video scene search, background downloading, display custom developer-made Trophy icons and several other stuff.
The PSP update will be interesting, as it will finally let you access the online PlayStation Store directly from the handheld to download games, demos and more from any Wi-fi hotspot. It will also add a sleep timer for music playback, full-screen QWERTY keyboard and the ability to output downloaded PlayStation games at full-screen on TV.
PS Store, Online Multiplayer Coming to PSP
Focusing quite extensively on the PSP this year, what with a new model coming out, Sony has announced that Japanese PSP owners will be able to directly access the PlayStation Store on their handhelds to download content. No PC or PS3 will be required for the download anymore.
To make the service that much more sweeter, a free PSP game will be released through the PlayStation Store – Mainichi Issyo Portable.
To be introduced in a future firmware update, the handheld will also be able to play PSP titles online through the PS3. Titles such as Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G are compatible with the new service, with Sony announcing other games soon.
Unfortunately, it is not clear when these updates will hit other territories, as the PS Store and online multiplayer through PS3 is currently limited to Japanese users who will get it this Fall.
