Rocksmith+, the award winning music-learning app that teaches you guitar and piano with thousands of hit songs, is coming to PlayStation and Steam on June 6, and is available to wishlist now on both platforms.
This one is tricky with just a keyboard but here is a look at the early part of the game.
Only a day ago, Helldivers 2 community manager Spitzerfx seemed to be in the clear, but they have officially been demoted after Sony controversy.
From a business standpoint I can understand why they did that…but man, he stood up for the community and thats huge.
He did! There is an entire Reddit thread now where many are thanking him for his help in Sony controversy. Hope he lands on his feet!
Title "seemingly fired after controversy"
Preview text "he seems to be in the clear but demoted"
He did an amazing job and I hope he lands somewhere good too. He's a hero someone who cared about gamers.
Standing up for his own company from a bigger company then gets demoted for doing his job as a community manager. At least he's still employed.
I hope Sony doesn't buy Arrowhead. They need to let them be. No corporate medlings and docking someone's pay for standing up form the ppl.
Wtf is going on with these companies?
Blaster Master Overdrive (wii) and Outland (psn/live) are two more great entries in this genre
And if you up for it La Mulana (wii) is a beast!
Shadow Complex is an AMAZING metroidvania title!
I've been playing Guacamelee! non-stop this week. It's my new favorite PSN game. I'll have the platinum pretty soon, then I'll start playing Knytt Underground next. Outland is another one of my favorite PSN games. I bought a physical copy of Tomba on Amazon recently, very awesome. I guess I've sorta been on a Metroidvania kick lately. Been playing a bit of Metroid Prime and Castlevania: SotN too.
MegaMan ZX and ZX Advent for DS are both Metroidvania style. ZX Advent being the better of the two.
Was surprised not to see these and Outland on the list.
