After having launched via retail for a number of platforms, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed will be seen making its way to the PS Vita tomorrow. Moreover, the HD version of Oddworld Stranger’s Wrath will also be seen arriving for the handheld console through PSN. As far as this week’s PS3 releases are concerned, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Karateka, Lego Lord of the Rings and a number of other games will be making their way to the console through PSN.
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is a kart racing title that features several of Sega’s mascots as racers. Developed by Sumo Digital, this game acts as a sequel to 2010’s Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, and features convertible vehicles, fresh characters as well as new All-Stars moves. Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath, the much loved 2005 action-adventure game is back in its HD avatar again; this time for the PS Vita. It will be released tomorrow through PSN.
It’s been a long time coming, but Batman: Arkham Asylum has finally been announced for a PSN launch. This PS3 title marked the beginning of Rocksteady Studios’ association with the Batman franchise. First released in 2009, it quickly managed to garner heaps of accolades for its unique gameplay elements. It was of course followed up by a sequel, Batman: Arkham City, which came out last year to gain equal acclaim, if not more.
Zombie Driver HD is another game making its PSN debut this week along with others like Labyrinth Legends, Knytt Underground (PS Vita/PS3), Heavy Fire: Afghanistan and Burn The Rope (PS Vita). Moreover, Karateka will be made available for the PS3 as well. This reboot of the 1984 title has been handled by its original designer, Jordan Mechner. And then there’s Lego The Lord of the Rings which will also be landing on PSN for the PS3 this week.
A PS mini named Hotel Mogul, and even a few free demos will be released. These include those of Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts 2013, Dogfight 1942, Fuel Overdose, Karateka, Sound Shapes (PS Vita/PS3), The Unfinished Swan, When Vikings Attack! (PS Vita/PS3) and Zombie Driver HD. This week’s highlight, the PS Vita version of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed will be made available tomorrow only through retail.
