On holiday once I was taking photos of a rock for texture reference, a crowd gathered to see what I was up to.. Memory still makes me cringe

This week’s PlayStation Store ‘leftfield’ pick:

Heartfelt action-strategy title Valkyria Chronicles was a huge hit with fans and critics alike when it debuted on PS3 back in 2008. Sega have now buffed up the visuals and bundled in all the original add-ons as part of a special Remastered edition exclusive to PS4. If you missed it first time around, or just want to relive the journey, we can’t recommend it highly enough.

The pick of PlayStation Blog:

NBA 2K16, Gone Home and more join the PS Plus monthly games line-up this June – more details.
Get hands-on with Q-Games quirky new adventure title The Tomorrow Children – the beta started yesterday!
Get tooled up with everything you’ll need to know for The Witcher 3‘s big new expansion with this in-depth look from lead designer Matthew Steinke.

And the rest of the headlines:

What we’re currently playing:

Fred – “I’ve been repeatedly throwing Drake off a Scottish cliff in Uncharted 4 this week, in an effort to capture the perfect ‘Aaaaarrgghh!’ moment in Photo Mode. Am I doing it wrong?”
Matt – “Being that RN-Jesus isn’t smiling favourably on my efforts to bag the Alienation platinum, I’ll be oiling up my silver sword and holidaying in Toussaint for the next few weeks (or more).”
Rhys – “The trailer for Blood and Wine seduced me into going back to The Witcher 3 and trying to finish the main story – although shamefully, I’ve had to put it on the easiest setting to stand a chance of making any progress.”
Corey – “Remembering that my beloved Aston Villa has been relegated meant Football Manager 2014 on PS Vita has been getting some attention this week. When you’re better than Real Madrid, who needs reality?”
