Playstation Network Offers New Downloadable Titles and Demos

Sony's Playstation Network has gotten a ton of new content today. Earlier this week on Xbox Live, Capcom has released a demo as well as the full Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix game, Namco Bandai released Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online, and to top it all off there are demos for NASCAR 08, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 and All-Pro Football 08.

In Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, players compete in intense versus battles of wit and speed. As a linked pair of gems descends from the top of the screen, players move and rotate them to form groups and piles of the same color. By destroying these groups of gems with either a crash or rainbow gem, players can send counter gems to fall onto their hapless rival. When the opponent’s screen is filled up and no more moves are available, the player wins the game.

Features:

  • Three different gameplay options:
    • X-Mode: play in classic Puzzle Fighter style
    • Y-Mode: gems automatically break when three or more gems of the same color line up in a row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally
    • Z-Mode: players move a 2x2 cursor around the screen rotating the positions of the highlighted gems; more gems are added from below, moving all the current gems toward the top
  • Game balance options for X-Mode
    • Original X-Mode or a newly rebalanced X’ mode that makes every character a compelling choice
  • Counter Gem Edit – allows players to create their own drop pattern
  • Multiple online gameplay options:
    • Ranked Match – using the TrueSkill system players are matched 1-on-1 based on their ranking points
    • Player Match – non-ranked, casual Quarter Match setup allows players to view ongoing matches and stand by to become the next challenger
  • Worldwide rankings and leaderboard

Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online will dominate the online fighting world as it boasts a ton of new online modes including Opti Match, Quick Match, Custom Match and Friend Match, making it easy to find opponents to fight with anywhere, anytime. Players will also have the opportunity to study their opponents by viewing battles in the lobby while waiting for their turn to conquer and trash talk each other via voice chat. The online update also includes two new single player modes, including Practice mode, where players can hone their fighting skills before battling online, and Survival mode, where players must use their superior Tekken skills to defeat as many opponents as possible, one after the other, in a fight to the finish.

Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection was released earlier this year for download on the PlayStation Network for the PS3 for $19.99. The game features 1080p graphics and classic Tekken gameplay. The online update, Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online, is now available for the low price of $9.99 in addition to the $19.99 for Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection. Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online may also be bought for a $29.98 bundle, which includes the online update and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection
