Daily Digest: 28/04/09 [22]

We’re trialling a new daily round-up of all the stories, as ever, we welcome your comments on everything TSA.

Today’s TSA Stories:

  • Wipeout Pulse Heading To PS3?
    Probably not, to be honest.  Sounds from the comments that it’s an Amazon mistake and it should be the PS2 version listed there, given further weight because there’s no PS2 version on there.  DLC, we learnt, has been confirmed for HD, though.
  • Uncharted 2 Multiplayer Screens
    The first screens of Uncharted 2’s new co-op and deathmatch modes sneak out before the official Blog unveiled the goodness, that’s what you get for reading TSA early in the morning.  Comments were positive, which was nice to see.
  • All New Home Space Leaked?
    Not really.  Seems the glitchers had found a way to get to Alphazone 2 early, and this was the result.  Appears to have been swiftly followed up by a post on the US Blog.  We like to keep you on your toes, guys. ;-)
  • Six Days In Fallujah Dropped
    Mercifully, Konami’s daft idea for a videogame has been canned amidst the public outcry, with almost all the TSAians agreeing with the decision.  To be honest, I’ve not really bothered with the game much, but I’m happy that sense has prevailed.
  • Pain Gets Sore Spots
    Kevling’s guest appearance nicely ties up the recent Pain announcements, and is well worth a quick read if you’re wondering what’s coming next to Pain.  Seems like the guys at Idol Minds are quite happy to keep developing for this PSN cult classic.
  • Driver: The Recruit
    Ubisoft’s E3 spoilt?  Hardly, but there certainly was a nice tasty new trademark application filed over the last couple of days.  Expect more of these as we gear up to E3 and lots of new game announcements leak out.
  • inFamous Release Date
    We get some good news.  Yes, us here in Europe – Sucker Punch’s inFamous is due to hit shelves across the UK (and beyond) at the end of May, barely a month to wait.  Still nothing confirmed for the Uncharted 2 beta, though, unless I missed that one.
  • Pinball Games Bouncing Onto PS3
    Tuffcub’s been on about this for a while, but Greg has tied together the recent pinball confirmations into one nice little post.  If pinball’s your thing, have a read about what’s heading your way this year.
  • Cops and Robbers Priced
    Oh dear. Criterion used to be everyone’s friends, but the recent DLC has been constantly creeping up in price and today they hit us with the big one: Cops and Robbers, little more than a new game mode and the associated car skins, will cost you 2 t-shirts.  Shame.
  • Soaking WET
    Davs’ preoccupation with trying to wring every possible last double entendre out of WET has resulted in yet another well titled post.  The news?  That Bethesda has picked up the publishing rights to the third person kick-em-up.
  • Prototype Montage
    A late entry to the digest, here’s the latest trailer for Prototype, a game which must surely have tickled your tastebuds enough to warrant a quick squizz at this one.  Have to say, it’s looking great, let’s hope Radical have a hit on their hands.

What Else We Read Today:

The much anticipated electro remix of Michael’s TSA Rap should be up later tonight.  We’re also in the process of transferring bits of the website, if it all goes Pete Tong keep an eye on our Twitter for updates.

  1. Cool new feature. It would’ve been a bit pointless but you rescued it with the forum posts and the ‘What else…’

    ;)


  2. Great idea. TSA bite size all most.


    • Yeah – Brilliant idea, thanks TSA!


  3. Nice. Just wondering how many people are confused by you saying Pete Tong :-)


    • Erm, yeah? Explanation anyone?


      • Yeah who’s Pete Tong?


  4. I sent you a link to Aviary ages ago!


  5. Nice feature, wouldn’t be worth it if it was just a round up of just the stories but the extra’s and the froum bit make it worth while


    • I think it will be more worth while if more funny stuff is included. Hint hint. ;)


      • Chuck Norris facts?


  6. wihoo this makes the internet even lazier


  7. All this talk of swine flu scares the hell outta me. Im stocking up on oranges and tea bags then im gunna barricade myself in my room.


    • a guy at my work came back from mexico on sat and was coughing and spluttering, he was quickly kicked out and sent to the hospital before he infected the other 2000 people in our building!


  8. Nice feature. Looking forward to more of these


  9. Not sure if the whole thing is entirely necessary. The news stories bit seems a bit pointless to be honest. I remeber not long ago you wrote an article about emails you’d gotten in and stuff posted in the forums. Maybe if this was more like a weekly fixture of that then I think it’d be a big hit… That’s my 2 pence anyway.


  10. A nice idea.
    I think the forum section is the most important, as it encourages members to contribute more, making up the TSA community for the better.

    The problem with the one-line summary of news, is that you already do that on the homepage.
    If you focus this more on the forum, or at least keep that in there if things change, this could be successful.


  11. This is perfect for getting the news at a glance on my mobile. Also, i use the site while on the train on my n95 but it has stopped defaulting on the mobile view. Anyone know how i get it back on?


  12. He’s more than just a DJ now, he’s his own word!

    Rhyming slang – Pete Tong/Wrong


  13. What!? You’ve never heard of “It’s all gone a bit Pete Tong”!? As in wrong!?!?


  14. Nope.
