Sony’s unofficial/paid-for blog Three Speech has released information on three forthcoming PlayStation Store titles - God of War director, David Jaffe’s Calling All Cars, Blast Factor-a-like Nucleus and Super Stardust HD (posh Asteroids).
Calling All Cars is first up, releasing on May 18, and involves driving around in a cartoon style environment chasing escaped felons and returning them to jail.
SPOnG regular, Steve Boxer, pegs it as his personal favourite of PS3 downloadables to date describing it as “laughably simple, with over-the-top cartoon-style graphics that will make you laugh, destructible scenery and a two-thirds view that puts you in mind of Micro Machines.”
For our Steve it's nothing less than an ‘absolute must-download’ and – aside from his bizarre obsessions with cricket, crazed hairdressers, pet smuggling and obscure West London punk bands – we usually tend to agree with what Steve tells us.
After that, Sony is releasing Nucleus on May 25 – not entirely dissimilar to Blast Factor, according to Mr Boxer, “but it’s an awful lot more elaborate and sophisticated.”
Then following that we have Super Stardust HD, an Asteroids-a-like arcade game which Steve describes to us as “classic-style, yet modern-feeling, shoot-em-up action that proves pretty addictive.”
Pricing on all three is still to be confirmed.
