Calling All Cars isn't the only downloadable game scheduled for release on May 3; Sony Online Entertainment has announced that its port of the classic arcade hit Gauntlet II will be available this Thursday as well.
Ported from the original coin-op by the guys at Backbone Entertainment, Gauntlet II brings Thyra the Valkyrie, Questor the Elf, Thor the Warrior, and Merlin the Wizard back to action for 100-plus levels of retro goblin bashing. Though similar to the first game (which was re-released for Xbox Live Arcade in 2005), Gauntlet II adds a number of tweaks to the existing formula. All four players can choose the same character type, for example, while stages have been improved with invisible walls and the option to become "it" (being "it" draws enemy characters towards your position).
The future is yesterday!
Unique to the PlayStation 3 version of Gauntlet II is four-person online multiplayer support, leaderboard rankings, and resolutions up to 1080p.
Expect to see it for $4.99 in a couple of days.
