Monkeypaw Games is bringing Tomba to PSN this summer. The sequel may be a possibility if Tomba does well:

MonkeyPaw has been working on acquiring the Tomba! rights for a year. "We often have to chase down multiple right holders," Greiner said. "In this case, Sony and Whoopee Camp had rights that needed to be negotiated." The deal didn't necessarily include the sequel, however. "Tomba! 2 is a possibility but we need to really sell Tomba! 1 well before we can extend our relationship," Greiner explained. "It's the first time to work with Fujiwara-san so we're trying to make a good impression. Good sales have a way opening doors a bit wider."

It's mentioned at the end of this trailer that it's coming in June, hopefully earlier than later.

Capcom announced a dates and pricing for Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection:

We’re pleased to confirm that the previously announced Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection will be available to purchase from the PlayStation Store on June 26th in North America for $26.99. The collection features previously released Resident Evil titles – Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles and Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, which have been remastered for the PlayStation 3 with stunning HD graphics and PlayStation Move compatibility. The titles will also be available to purchase separately for $14.99 each from the PlayStation Store starting July 17th.

I wonder how much that assasins creed revelation ultimate edition bundle is going to be for ps+ members or if i would be better off getting the vanilla version at BB for 10 bucks. Almost finished creed 2 and am about to start on brotherhood.

Bang Bang Racing will be out on June 5. No price announced yet.

hmm. i got Rayman O on disc for $20 even with the $15 sale I consider myself more or less ahead on that game. I guess this is really the only thing that's interesting to me right now. Color me excited. Hope there are some UEs I don't already have.

The list of games for the Ultimate Editions sale:

Bioshock 2 - $27.99 PSN - $19.59 PS+ - Full Game + All DLC - Begins 5/29 - Ends 6/4
Call of Duty: Black Ops - $66.49 PSN - $46.54 PS+ - Full Game + All DLC - Begins 5/29 - Ends 6/4

Red Dead Redemption - $27.99 PSN - $19.59 PS+ - Full Game + All DLC - Begins 5/29 - Ends 6/4

And an explanation of all of the DLC that each game should have:

Bioshock 2 includes $25 in DLC since there's already a bundle of that extra content, which seems to have two single-player packs ($9.99 and $4.99) and four MP packs ($9.99, $4.99, $1.99, and free). The base game is $19.99 with a $39.99 complete edition, which is what will be on sale.

Call of Duty: Black Ops comes with $45 in DLC with the bundle that's already on PSN, which already includes the First Strike map pack. The bundle is $49.99 at the moment.

Infamous 2 has just $9 in DLC with one mission pack and three bundles of powers, weapon skins, and player skins. The base game is $39.99 at the moment.

Just Cause 2 includes $7 in DLC with five vehicles, two weapon packs, and a vehicle/weapon pack. The UE includes two exclusive items you can't get otherwise with a great pistol and a vehicle. The base game is $19.99 and the Ultimate Edition is $29.99 at the moment.

LA Noire includes $16 in DLC with the RockStar Pass giving you four cases, two suits, and a challenge along with the exclusive Consul's Car case and a free weapon. The base game is currently $29.99 and the Complete Edition is $39.99.

Mafia II has $42 in DLC with three mission packs at $9.99 each and four assorted packs at $2.99 each. The base game is $19.99 at the moment.

Mortal Kombat includes $20 in DLC with the bundle of four DLC characters and a skins pack. There are also compatibility packs that include some skins, as well. The base game is $49.99 at the moment.

MotorStorm Apocalypse includes $12 in DLC with four vehicle packs, a part for your cars, two free liveries, and five free event packs. The base game is $49.99.

Red Dead Redemption includes $23 in DLC with the zombie single-player campaign, two multiplayer packs, a free single-player challenge pack, a free co-op pack, and the three pre-order items. The base game is $19.99 and $39.99 for the bundle with Undead Nightmare, the Liar & Cheats pack, and the Legends and Killers pack. I'm not sure if they're going to add those pre-order items to the bundle despite claims of these bundles including all of its DLC.

I think I may have to get Just Cause 2. I've always wanted the game and I know I can probably get it cheap somewhere, but Didgital is nice and convienent.

An interesting rumor from Eurogamer about a revamp of PS+:

Sony is readying a revamp of PlayStation Plus to be revealed during its E3 press conference, Eurogamer understands. Multiple sources have indicated that part of Sony's E3 press conference, set for Monday 4th June, will be devoted to running through the revamp, which is designed to help convince more people to sign up to the premium subscription service. One of the ways Sony will do this is by giving subscribers top tier games for free, and implementing proper integration with PS Vita. Plus on Vita will offer Vita exclusive titles and DLC and cloud services that mean you won't have to connect the handheld to a PlayStation 3 or a PC to back up saves and other content. Currently PlayStation Plus, which costs £39.99 for a one-year membership and £11.99 for a 90-day membership, grants full game trials, automatic updates, cloud game saving, discounts and early access to content. Sony says Plus offers content worth around £200 a year. While a Sony Computer Entertainment Europe spokesperson declined to comment on our report, PlayStation Plus content manager Ross McGrath expressed his enthusiasm for the service on his Twitter page. "By the way, if you don't have a PS+ subscription, now is the time to get one. For real. Just get 3 months if you aren't sure. Trust me," he said. Earlier this month several possible tiers of subscription options were highlighted by a user survey designed to poll potential customers on what they would like Plus' rewards to focus on, including offering new releases free of charge. One possible tier would offer 61 new "A" quality games a year, but with only one PS3 release a week. Sony's suggested price would be a $7.99 (about a fiver) monthly fee, with three-month and yearly price plans also available. Another option offers 80 games a year, mostly "C" and "B" quality, for $10 a month (about £6). Titles would be at least a year old, although 10 full PS3 releases would be offered every week. The revamp of PlayStation Plus marks the beginning of a wider effort to improve the PlayStation Network across multiple devices over the coming year, and, we've heard, may include a new, redesigned PlayStation Store that also facilitates purchases from a proper PC web store similar to Xbox Marketplace. Eurogamer has also heard from a separate source that Sony has secured the cloud gaming services of either OnLive or Gaikai. Reports indicate this deal could be announced at E3, although it may not directly relate to a PlayStation console, rather, cloud gaming through Sony televisions. Both Gaikai and OnLive declined to comment on our report, but in an email to Eurogamer Gaikai teased "some major announcements in store for E3 that have the potential to change the future of video games, game consoles and how we play".

I feel exactly the same way. I actually enjoyed Golden Abyss far more than Uncharted 3
