The free-to-play, strategic, turn-based MMORPG Atlantica Online hits the digital shelves after three closed beta periods and one closed beta in Germany.
Capcom announced today that their latest Monster Hunter title, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, will be one of the first playable titles for the PlayStation Portable that will feature the new "adhocParty" system that launched today. Future updates are planned to bring the adhocParty to more Capcom titles online.
The new Firmware 3.10 update that we posted about yesterday which include Facebook integration is now available for download. To keep up with Microsoft it looks like Sony went ahead and released the update instead of waiting for the Thursday update of the Playstation Store Network.
Although it seems kind of odd that Facebook would be included in this update only because the PS3 already has a web browser built in so it doesn't make quite a lot of sense. However, with the Facebook app it seems Sony must want to make the social lives of gamers easier when it comes to their Playstation 3. As mentioned yesterday as well a couple of tweaks were added to this update that I'm sure you'll notice.
The Photo category on the XMB has been revamped to make it easier to see more of your photos stored on the PS3.
The PSN Friends List has been modified based on feedback we received after update 3.00. Additionally, you can now choose a color for your PSN ID on the XMB.
IO Interactive has finally revealed after much anticipation, teasers and rumors, that Kane & Lynch 2 does exist. The game is a new brutal crime shooter with a new visual experience for gamers.
