PS3 Platinum in Europe next month News
PlayStation 3 News by Tom Bramwell
Sony is to launch a budget range of PS3 games in Europe in a fortnight's time.
The Platinum range will kick off on 1st August at GBP 19.99 / EUR 29.99.
Initial first-party games will be Resistance: Fall of Man, Heavenly Sword, MotorStorm, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Ratchet & Clank 3.
Virtua Tennis 3 from SEGA and Assassin's Creed from Ubisoft will be the first third-party titles, followed by WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2008 "later in September".
SCEE boss David Reeves said "ten further titles" from third parties would then arrive "between September and the end of November".
"If you're a longstanding PS3 owner with gaps in your collection – or perhaps you've just joined the family – the PS3 Platinum range is your chance to pick up some of the very best games at a wallet-friendly price,” added Reeves in an accompanying statement.
"With great titles spanning a huge breadth of gaming experiences, this August is a great time to be a PS3 owner."

That's awesome. I might buy Resistance again to prepare for the sequel, and Uncharted or Ratchet for the first time.

Wow just having a quick look around and what all this really means is a price cut for Drake's , everything else on the list can either already be bought new for £19.99 or less. (Virtua tennis is only £13)

I think you may be pleasantly surprised by Resistance. It's actually a lot better than you might think from playing the first couple of levels. It does start off looking very much like Call of Duty with aliens but later on it plays more like a cross between Half Life and Halo (especially the shield regeneration mechanic). There are some really bizarre and original weapons and it doesn't suffer from the things I dislike about the Call of Duty series' single-player campaign, such as endlessly spawning enemies until you break cover, or unconvincing AI. Completing the single-player campaign unlocks a further 6 weapons for your second play through. It's great online too. Anyway, hope you enjoy it! :-) |

Definitely going to pick up Uncharted for this price. I got Resistance for £10 anyway.

No Warhawk afterall?
Thought that was a bit of an odd one, seeing as it's £19.99 on the PSN anyway. |

Woopi doo, I've seen more originality in 4 Live arcade/ Wiware games than this dross. Motorstorm has a SNES frame rate and goes for 8 quid on auction.
