New PlayStation Store Releases: Wolfenstein: The Old Blood
If you're in the mood for something lighter, you can check out the Rez-inspired rhythmic shooter, Cosmophony. It's being offered as a 3-way Cross-Buy. Or you can put your brain to the test on a puzzle solving adventure with Ether One or Syberia II. Go grab a section of plumbing and a rifle and then shoot past the break to see the full list of new releases.

Welcome to the Gog Galaxy
Follow along after the break to learn a little bit more about Galaxy and how to grab the client.
That wait finally ended last week, when the client suddenly went into closed alpha.
The alpha was fairly short, culminating in a handful of patches and the final announcement that the client was going into Open Beta today.
What do you get if you decide to go into Gog’s Galaxy?
- It’s DRM-free. [this is the huge difference between it and Steam]
- There are a bunch of library features [installing games, backing up your games and auto-updates]
- In-game features [Crossplay, multiplayer and achievements]
- Community features [friends and chat]
- Some other features that are still in development include the ability to rollback patches, a game overlay [much like the steam one] and game inviting and joining.
The best part? All of this is completely optional. Plus, the client will be able to work in offline mode as well as online mode. [Naturally, downloading games or using the chat features, etc, will probably not work in offline mode, but the option is there.]
What do you have to do to get into the open beta? Simply head on over to the Galaxy Page and sign up. You will receive an email in due course with details on how to get the client.
For those about to beta, we salute you!
Doujin Shmup Genso no Rondo Coming to PS4
All Touhou Project (or Shrine Maiden Project) games are made by a one man team called Team Shanghai Alice, and its sole member ZUN is responsible for nearly all of the production, including music, art, and programming.
For now, on a Japanese release date has been set for June 11th on the PSN as a downloadable title, with a bonus PS4 theme included. It is my hope that this unique game garners enough attention for a western release, and additional entries from the series follow!
