The past few days have been a mixed bag for Sony: PS3s are selling likethings that sell really well, but they’ve managed to incur thewrath of St. Andrewin the process. But,Akuma’s hotnessand two new PlayStation Network games to hit by the end of this month tip the balance into the “hey, it wasn’t such a bad week after all!” part of spectrum.
What are these new games you ask? One isPiyotama, aBejeweled-esque puzzle game in which the player must match and hatch brightly-colored eggs.Piyotamawill be availble on the 19th.
The other, more interesting game isSuper Stardust HD, anAsteroids/GeometryWars/BlastFactorclone developed by Housemarque. Here’s the lowdown, thanks to1up: There will be asteroids, debris, enemies, and bosses. The best part, though, is that your enemy is the evil penguin Professor Schaumund.Super Stardust HD(say that 5 times fast) will hit the PlayStation Network on June 29th. Both games will sell for 800 yen ($6.50).
While you guys figure out the metaphysical implications of fighting an evil space penguin with an advanced degree, verify you hit the jump for another shot ofPiyotama, and head overherefor some more info and screens aboutSSHD*.
