Happy Halloween! All got to work on time this morning with the clocks having gone back?
So, last week saw the release of SingStar ‘Back To The 80s’ which I was very excited about and I played it all weekend. Now my voice is gone. Hey ho! Anyone else had a go?

It’s also great to see all the videos and snaps people have been uploading whilst playing DanceStar Party on the website. Some excellent moves in there!

In the SingStore this week we have Aloe Blacc, A bit of Gloria Gaynor, Swing Out Sister and, already a modern classic, ‘You Get What You Give’ by the ‘New Radicals’.

FYI – coming up to Christmas we’ll be changing the space between updates a little but you’re probably already used to this from previous years. The next updates will be released on the following dates:

• 23 November 2011 – next update
• 14 December 2011 – final 2011 update
• 11 January 2012 – first update in 2012

See you in three weeks.

We love to be scared. There’s something so primal and universal about fear, and a good horror story can really bring out the best of it, making our hearts race and our minds veer toward the darkest recesses of the human psyche. And we just keep going back for more!

Yet by the same token, horror has become so passe that we barely even react when we encounter imagery of skeletons, zombies, witches, bats, vampires and ghouls. True primal fear is hard to come by in the modern world, and this applies to video games as well. When you hear the term “horror game,” what’s the first thing that pops into your mind? Probably “zombies” since that seems to characterize much of the horror genre nowadays. Most modern horror games assault you with wave after wave of zombies, and you can typically one-shot them back to their graves. They may look scary, but when’s the last time you were actually frightened in a zombie shooter game? Maybe you had an exciting time playing one, and jumped at a handful of startling moments, but the mere fact that you’re able to defend yourself – that you have a means of fighting back – makes just about every entry in the genre less horror than action.

If you had a close look at last week’s PlayStation Store update (which I am sure most of you did) you may have spotted a new game called Ra.One. You may not have heard of it and, therefore, not given it much more thought. That is, if you`re not from India. Because in the second most populous country in the world, Ra.One is one of the most anticipated Bollywood films of all time. It is so popular that the producers decided to develop an internationally released videogame out of it.

We held an interview with Atindriya Bose from PlayStation India to find out more about this rare title.
