The PlayStation Blog recap

So, last week I promised you a bumper seven days for indie announcements, and I hope you’ll agree that we duly delivered. We took the wraps off Spelunky, Terraria PS Vita, Limbo PS Vita, Guacamelee!, Metrico, Primal Carnage and Divekick, among others, and saw progress updates from the genius teams behind rain, Velocity Ultra and ibb & obb.

With the likes of Hotline Miami, Frozen Synapse, Thomas Was Alone, Sportsfriends and Luftrausers also on the way, it’s shaping up to be a fantastic summer for those PS Vita and PS3 owners into the quirkier side of gaming. And there’s more exciting reveals to come, of course. ;)

That said, the indies didn’t have a total PS Blog monopoly this week. Ken Levine stopped by to mark BioShock Infinite’s triumphant launch, Insomniac boss Ted Price answered your Fuse questions, we caught our first glimpse of some Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag gameplay and Sly Cooper returned to the wild. Oh, and don’t forget the beefy Spring sale on PlayStation Store.

See the full reading list below and, should it be observed in your region, I hope you all have a great Easter holiday weekend!
