BloodRayne Betrayal, a God of War: Origins Collection demo, and the lovely rest in this week’s releases for the PlayStation Network, the week of September 6th.
Surprisingly to say, BloodRayne Betrayal, one of this week’s new downloadable games on the PlayStation Network is gosh drat worth playing! Actually, it’s pretty darn good considering what movie director Uwe Boll has done to nose dive the BloodRayne license into a volcano of suck with his live-action movie adaptations.
Not having Mr. Boll directing, of course, probably does quite a bit to avoid such a horrid fate. Instead, BloodRayne Betrayal has industry pros WayForward Industries as its creative spirit – and what we get in return is a sweet fast combo-driven digital title that could be easily mistaken as a 2D side-scroller version of Platinum Games’ Bayonetta.
Hint: That’s a good thing.
There’ll be a demo of BloodRayne Betrayal up also on the PlayStation Store so you can wisely try before you buy. You might also want to do the same for the God of War: Origins Collection that will be on the heels of a North American release on September 13th for the PlayStation 3.
Inside the collection are two remastered high-definition ports of God of War: Chains of Olympus & God of War: Ghost of Sparta from the PlayStation Portable. They’ll also receive Stereoscopic 3D support, slight tweaks to the graphics department, and Trophies – wonderful, wonderful Trophies.
Ah, one last reminder folks! With the 2011 NFL season getting ready for kick off this week, so does DirectTV’s NFL Sunday Ticket — launching as we speak on the PlayStation 3’s dashboard under the TV/Video Services category. The service is free of charge to all DirectTV subscribers & allows them to live stream every Sunday NFL game, plus access highlights, stats, standings, and team schedules.
