The Official PlayStation Community – Weekly Round-Up

Ahoy there Blog-ites!

The Official PlayStation Community forums are literally rampant with stuff to do. With regular community events, big prize competitions and hilarious discussions taking place every day of the week, we figured it’s about time we started putting it all into one, shiny plate for you guys to munch on.

And so the OPC Weekly Round-up is born!

Each week we’ll be reminiscing and celebrating all the lovely stuff that’s been happening in our community. We’ll be covering the best gaming discussions, showing you our frag-filled community events line-up and talking you through any ongoing competitions to satisfy that insatiable gamer’s appetite for free stuff.

As this is a bit of a test drive, the content you’ll see below relates to our English Language forum only. Stay tuned for similar updates from our continental buddies

So! Let’s tuck in…

The ModNation Mods’ Mod Challenge

We quickly realised something in the Community Team after the release of ModNation – why make stuff yourself when you can get others to make it for you! Read mine and the moderator’s profiles in our competition thread, then make us a Mod to suit and we’ll use it as our own. Make the best Mod out of the lot, and we’ll send you a little Mod figurine to hold and treasure.

Red Dead Redemption – The Manhunt Challenge!

OK, OK, so there’s something you should know about this one. It’s slightly impossible. We’ve challenged you to kidnap a patron in any saloon on Red Dead Redemption without being seen by an eye witness. Errr… good luck!?

Kratos: not the typical subject for a poem. Make us laugh with your lyrics and you could win a copy of the new God of War novel from Titan Books, along with a copy of the God of War Collection on PS3 to boot. Click here.
