A few weeks ago one of the earliest PSN games received a trophy patch. Blast Factor is a very fast-paced shooter, similar in ways to Super StarDust HD, but extremely different in certain areas. The title was a must buy before, but with the Trophies it becomes a can't miss.
The Steam Sale may have been the hot topic this past week, but it’s not the only place to go for some sweet deals on some great games. The PlayStation Network has its fair share of bargains too. The recent PSN Store update for America may have been a bit lackluster on new content, but the discounts are worth checking out.

Sony's PSN shooter Blast Factor has finally got a Trophy Patch in Europe - start up the game and you'll be prompted to update the title to 2.01, and there you go - Trophies!
About time we in Europe got this patch! We've had to wait long enough for it, but it's nice to see it's finally here.
It'll give me a reason to go back to Blast Factor as it was a quality game, and with this update it might entice some new buyers to it.
It was one of the very first games I downloaded on the PSN. The expansion pack made it that much better, too! I think the problem is that it got overshadowed by Super Stardust HD, even though the two games aren't really very similar except in game type.
It's nice to know that they're still supporting it!
Gotta love the tilting and slow-mo. I think that's what really makes it different, sometimes you really have to have a strategy how to finish a stage. Especially with the jelly-fish type with the shields and starting explosive chain reactions by tilting Sixaxis and shooting.
I love the use of the Sixaxis in this game, its really original.
EDIT: I don't have the patch or trophies enabled, is this US only?
when is this patch available in the uk, and will it be just a matter of starting up the game as normal.
I would not call this a must buy. Two years ago, sure it was a must buy, but now with the likes of SSDHD and SFHD, not so much.
