So for those of you that missed the announcement of all the different Resistance 3 retail options a few months back, I wanted to give you a quick reminder and show you a brand new trailer we have for the Resistance 3 Survivor Edition.

Here’s a quick recap of the various digital pre-order bonuses available across PAL.

Please note: these vary dependent on locale and retailer, so please check your local game outlet for more information:

• SRPA Black Ops skin
• Infected Nathan Hale skin
• Air Fuel Grenade
• Special multiplayer title: “Sentinel”
• Multiplayer booster
• Chimera tooth necklace (this one is a physical item!)

RESISTANCE 3 SPECIAL EDITION

Next up we have the Resistance 3 Special Edition. This version of the game comes in a stunning SteelBook case – packed with a voucher code for all of the pre-order items listed above.

Not only will this look awesome on your shelf, (the array of logos are on a perspex sleeve which you can remove) but this version will also come complete with a very cool ‘vinyl effect’ Blu-ray Disc (complete with the ribbed vinyl effect on the surface).

RESISTANCE 3 PS3 BUNDLE

We have an alternate option for those of you new to the PS3 (and Resistance) in the form of a 320GB console packed with the standard edition of Resistance 3. Check it out below:

RESISTANCE 3 SURVIVOR EDITION

Now last, but by no means least, we have the Resistance 3 Survivor Edition which you should already have seen in my earlier post and the video at the top of this page.

That’s it for now – Resistance 3 will be coming exclusively to PS3 across PAL from 7 September – hit me up in the comments below and I’ll do my best to answer any questions.

Diesel brings a new tropical getaway to PlayStation Home this week in the form of Diesel Island. Here’s what they have to say about it:

“We, at Diesel, have a stupid dream. What would it be like to start a nation from scratch? To take what is great from the countries we know and ditch what is bad. To re-write the laws. To right social wrongs. A country for only the brave. A nation in which all you future citizens of Diesel Island have the chance of being Stupid Pioneers. The first nation that truly cares about what you like and dislike. Hop on the plane from 21st July, boarding through our updated store in the PlayStation Home Shopping Centre. New Look, New Stuff – some of it free. Welcome to Diesel Island. Land of the Stupid and Home of the Brave.”

New from Lockwood, welcome to the weird and wonderful world of Delirious Squid. Populated by gangsta rappin’ squids, bears in dresses and pretty little girls with tentacly faces, Delirious Squid is the latest clothing collection from Lockwood.

Inspired by the alternative music scene, Delirious Squid is for those who’d rather stand out than blend in, those who value comfort and quirkiness over couture and formality. Clothes for future celebrities, budding skate superstars and underdogs who’ll have their day are what Delirious Squid specialises in. Hoodies with unique graphics, ripped jeans and understated accessories are where they shine.

Also crawling out of Delirious Squid’s trapdoor of delights are four new companions. Bunsen and Spike are two hard-rockin’ lizards who get their kicks head banging to loud music, swishing their tails to smashing guitars. Al Cabone and Mr Ska Bones are more mellow fellows, shambling around with a spring in their skeletal step.

Have fun in the sunshine with these hot lifeguard uniforms. Everyone loves a lifeguard and they’ll be watching you in awe when you blow on your whistle then sprint off down the beach with a rescue float under your arm. They don’t need to know that you’re not actually running anywhere…

Male lifeguards can look laid back paddling in the ocean in long shorts, vest and backwards cap. Female guards manage to pull off professional and pretty in one fell swoop with their high ponytail held in place with a visor, shorts and a matching jacket over their bikini.

Full male and female uniforms are available in value packs. Get out there and make waves, people!

Dazzle your friends in the new inFamous 2 Cole Costume available this week from Alter Ego, complete with custom emotes (batteries not included).

AUDI AG today announced the availability of a new free-to-download XMB skin available exclusively from the PlayStation Store. The interface features exclusive shots of some of AUDI AG’s most desirable cars along with Audi inspired XMB icons for all automotive fans.

Roland Hoepting, Digital Marketing Manager for AUDI AG, explained, “For many people the PlayStation XMB is their number one media channel. With the fantastic response we’ve had from the PS3 audience in PlayStation Home we wanted to take our activity further. We know gamers love their cars and racing so wanted to give them an opportunity to have their own line up of Audi sports cars available on their XMB.”

My name is Jakub. I am from Grip Games, the folks who gave you MiniSquadron and 5-in-1 Arcade Hits, and I’d like to tell you about our next project – One Epic Game, which is now being released via PlayStation Store tomorrow.

All of gaming’s most notorious stereotypes finally make an appearance in one epic game – aliens, zombies, fantasy, World War II and nuclear wasteland. One Epic Game puts you in the shoes of Alpha Dog, another muscular, one dimensional action hero with the task to negotiate with the enemies the only way they understand – a bullet in the brain!

As you have probably guessed by now, everything about One Epic Game is intentionally over-the-top. The name, the action, the main hero, humour… One Epic Game is a parody of all the gaming stereotypes we see in almost every action game. But it does not stop only with games, as you’ll see us pay homage to some popular movies and much more.

One Epic Game is a minis game and will cost you only 2.99 EUR, but that does not stop it from having tons of content to keep you entertained for many hours.

The Story mode contains ten levels and when you are done with it, you can try one of the seven different challenges that will test your skills – you’ll be required to jump-kill the enemies, survive with only one life, pick which enemies to kill and which to let go, etc. And finally, there is the Free Run mode which is just you and your skill against the enemies and environmental obstacles. No special tasks or distance limits.

To deal with the insane numbers of enemies that the game will send at you, you’ll need an impressive arsenal. One Epic Game has all the time-proven favourites, such as shotguns, machine guns, lasers, BFG, jet-packs and my personal favourite – flamethrowers.

One Epic Game is compatible with both PS3 and PSP and if you are a PlayStation Plus subscriber, you’ll get an additional 50% discount, which makes it practically a steal.

You can find more information about the game at http://www.grip-games.com/epic/.

I hope you’ll enjoy it.
