"Welcome back all, I hope everyone has been settling back into work okay and everyone’s sticking to their New Year’s resolutions!
Another fairly small update this week with a few highlights I wanted to point out. After last week’s sudden removal from the schedule, the Angry Birds mini does finally make it onto the PSN Store this week, so make sure you give those pigs what for. Also, we have a genuine PSone Classic in the form of Tomb Raider Chronicles – yes, we now have the first and last games in the PSone Tomb Raider series… the middle ones are on their way soon too. And don’t forget that this week we are providing you with the DC Universe Online subscriptions for one, three or six months of game time, so when your free month runs out we’ve got you covered."
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
"Tomb Raider Chronicles"
Uh...what? Where's 2, 3 and The Last Revelation?!
coming soon to a store near you
Dear god Square Enix and Ubisoft are going out of their tiny minds with pricing.
£7.99 for Tomb Raider Chronicles - not even one of the better TRs.
And £11.99 of (permanently reduced) shovelware from Ubi.
Thanks fellas.
