I’ve been on the fence about PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. On one hand, I love Super Smash Bros., but on the other hand I’m a big fan of actual innovation as well, and it seemed like this game was more copying the first and ignoring the second. The online beta released last week has been fun, but given that it’s entirely online, my knack of being terrible against other people makes it less fun for me than if it had a single player component as well.
The new full length commercial for Battle Royale certainly got me a little bit more excited. It starts off kind of slow, but after Nathan Drake makes his first appearance, you know it’s about to go down. Eventually he, Cole MacGrath, Kratos, and Sackboy are all together ready to throw down. I kind of wish the commercial featured a few more characters like last year’s quite similar “Michael” commercial, but perhaps those will come later.
Get a look at the 2 minute commercial after the jump and get ready to get your Sony Smash Bros. on when it hits stores on November 20th and don’t forget that if you pick up the PS3 version of the game, Sony’s awesome Cross-Buy feature gives you the PS Vita version FREE.

This is the post every week where I talk about how disappointing the new PlayStation Plus freebie is in our wonderfully diverse “Instant Game Collection” that has been a good 40% stagnant for months. There’s good news and bad news. The good news is I’m not going to make fun of this week’s freebie. The bad news is that there IS no new freebie this week so Sony can suck it twice as hard…
Seriously, the whole point of one freebie a week was that we’d get four new freebies for the month. One each week. Nothing this week, and if the comments in the Sony Blog post are any indication, nothing new next week either. Just remember that while our European buddies are enjoying Bulletstorm, Resident Evil 5, and Hell Yeah! for free, we get a whole pile of mediocrity.
So yeah, for the real update news, Hell Yeah! gets two DLC sales. Pimp My Rabbit is slashed from $4.99 to $3.99 and the Virtual Rabbit Missions is on sale from $2.99 to $2.39. SEGA saves the day with another $1 sale so the update isn’t total crap giving us Wonder Boy in Monster Land at 80% off for a buck. PS Plus users also get an exclusive timed trial for Medal of Honor Warfighter.
Good lord, November better make up for this crap month of PS Plus…
