Well it looks like it’s going to be yet another slow week across all formats, which is sadly somewhat of a tradition leading up to the summer months; publishers being under the highly misinformed opinion that most gamers, particularly those of summer vacation age, would rather expose themselves to the vicious dangers of the outside world in order to bask in lethal solar rays rather than just stay inside and play video games all day.
The situation is particularly grim for 3DS owners; last week they got their first taste of crappy movie tie-in produce with Thor: God of Thunder and this week all they’ve got to look forward to is the much delayed former launch title Steel Diver, a game so mind numbingly simplistic that it makes us at Push-Start wonder how it ever managed to reach retail. Then again, with the highly questionable PS3 re-release of the year old PC/Xbox 360 title Sniper: Ghost Warrior and the highly questionable existence of Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2011 also on schedule...

From Street Fighter to Tekken, all the way to Guilty Gear, it simply does not matter: if it involves two characters (or more) kicking the stuffing out of each other, it’s bound to grab my attention.'
Siliconera:
"Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Asia has been expanding their PlayStation Plus offerings for Japan. The PlayStation 4 lineup is still similar to the West, Dust: An Elysian Tail and Pix the Cat are scheduled for November 5.
The PlayStation 3 games have more of a local flavor. This month, Earth Defense Force 2025 for D3 Publisher, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus, and The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky The 3rd will be free for PlayStation Plus members in Japan. Members also get orbs for Destiny of Spirits and can try out Fate/hollow ataraxia."
On the PS+ subject, is there any confirmation of the PS4 titles for Nov?
The Sony tweet didn't mention Steamworld Dig.
Joining a number of other guest-stars in the Sega-operated MOBA game is Guilty Gear’s Sol Badguy.
