Today should see the release of the imaginative platformer, Thomas Was Alone on PS Vita and PS3. For those of you who haven’t yet had the chance to enjoy it on PC, and even for those who have but want to hear the developer’s commentary, it’s well worth downloading. That’s free for PlayStation Plus subscribers, too. You might even want to drop a couple of pounds on the brand new DLC levels for it.
God Mode is a third person multiplayer, cooperative shooter that puts you and some friends (or randoms) into wave-based arenas with ancient mythical creatures and modern weaponry. It looks a bit weird but solid enough.
There’s a release for Injustice: Gods Among Us and some add-on packs for it too. That’s priced at the odd figure of £47.99 with a £11.99 Season Pass and some other, cheaper bits and pieces like the Blackest Night skin for Batman at 79p and a Zombie Mode add-on which reskins every character into a zombie version, also at 79p.
Zone of Enders HD is up for £19.99 and Vita owners can look forward to Draw Slasher for just £3.99.
We’re also expecting a digital release for Dead Island: Riptide, a standalone expansion to Deep Silver’s divisive zombie killer. There’s plenty of extra play time here, but from what we know so far it’s mostly built upon exactly the same base as the previous game. That’ll either be a good or a bad thing, depending on which camp you fell into previously.
We’ll update with the full list later, if there’s anything exciting to talk about.

I shall be buying the Thomas Was Alone DLC levels.
Still waiting for the LBPV and Sound Shapes DLCs too!!
Forrest_01
Just buy the DLC levels & not the game eh? ;)
Broonba
Still no Terraria ‘sigh’
Alex C
I don’t think it’s coming.
Broonba
Wait. What!!
Bollocks if we’re (EU) not getting it.
Another Counterstrike scenario then :(
Broonba
The game’s page is on the store. Just no buy/download button.

According to the dev it’s in submission with SCEE … however it’s been there for 3 weeks. Either they’ve declined it based on the partly broken online (can’t join random people only friends) that US users have been complaining about and are waiting for the patch (similar to what happened with Retro City Rampage) or they’re just very slow at getting games through the submission process due to the multiple languages they need to test (as SCEA managed to get their version through submission in just 3 days).
Erroneus
Yeah confirmed on the blog that it’s not coming this week.
hazelam
ms got it through their submission process for their eu marketplace on time.
and frankly, there’s not even that much text in a game like Terarria.
even with the new tutorial mode.
minerwilly
ah bloody hell , another week without it . If it’d released the same day as USA id have bought it then and now would perhaps be thinking Thomas not
minerwilly
*sorry … Alone id be after that today , but im giving up now . Goodbye Terraria .
Bodachi
I think it will be released when the Vita version is coming.
Erroneus
If they do that and launch it with Crossbuy, I’m buying it.
Bodachi
I need to proof read my own comments…
Broonba
Aye. Me too.
Broonba
Erm. ^^ Was a reply to Erroneus
Broonba
Store on PC won’t let me add Vita version of Thomas to my basket. I keep getting hit with…You are not eligible to purchase or download this content :(
psychobudgie
When you add the PS3 version it automatically adds the corresponding Vita version to your download list. The message you get is normal for cross buy if you try to add both versions.
Broonba
Cheers for the heads up man. Got it sorted earlier. ;)

Will no doubt download Thomas Was Alone (free on PS+ so why not).
As for Dead Island, given Tesco/BlockBuster are selling it for 25quid at the moment I doubt the digital version will offer the same great deal.
Forrest_01
£25?? For Dead Island Riptide?? On PS3?? :O
Damn, might have to find me a local Tesco’s or Blockbusters then! :)
Broonba
^^^^My bad^^^^
It became available after I completed ‘purchase’ of the PS3 version

I wouldn’t actually mind having Injustice as a download, as it’s not something I’d trade in and would want to play with others or just on my own at any time, and I’m too lazy for disks (as my almost full 640GB hard drive shows), but not at that price. Honestly, the whole ‘you’ll buy a disk, install it and never use the disk again but can’t resell it’ rumours for the next gen almost appeal to me, in the same way as PC gaming feeds my lazy approach to things.

I was hoping that Knives of Dunwall dlc would be out today but i will grab Thomas was Alone anyway.
R1MJAW
I think that came out last week. I’ve just checked the store, it’s definitely there.
TSBonyman
Thanks – can’t believe i missed that! :)
R1MJAW
Just a small point, Draw Slasher is £3.99 not £4.99.
Peter Chapman
ooops, clumsy fingers strike again!
Fixed now, thanks for the correction :)
hazelam
