It was almost lost in the flood of information from this year’s ComiCon, but it has been confirmed that Sonic Adventure 2 will come to the PlayStation Network. No date or price are currently known. First released way back in 2001, Sonic Adventure 2 was one of the last big releases for the Sega Dreamcast during it’s short life. Be sure to check back for future updates.
It’s taken a while for Malicious to make it stateside, considering it’s 2010 Japan release, but the time is finally here. The game pits players against a series of bosses, each of which provide a Mega Man style power-up, allowing the main character to morph his cloak into various weapons. Keep an eye out for it July 24th for $9.99.

As we approach the end of the first season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead series, there’s already talk of more to come. Senior Vice President of Marketing Steve Allison stated pretty plainly that, “this will not be the last The Walking Dead game series that we do.”
The series has been receiving mostly positive reviews, our own included, and the sales are just as encouraging. During the first eight weeks, 1.7 million episodes were sold, and there’s no sign it slowing down. Be sure to keep an eye out for the next episode, Long Road Ahead, sometime in August.

In the weeks leading up to this year’s E3, rumors circulated regarding Sony and the cloud gaming service Gaikai.

Sony is continuing with their efforts to improve PlayStation Plus by giving even more free games to it’s members. Starting this week, in addition to most of the free titles announced back at E3, you can download Gotham City Imposters, Pac-Man Championship Edition DX, and Renegade Ops.
