PSN Weekly: Week of October 1st, 2013 (North America)

Welcome to another edition of PSN Weekly for North America. To start the week off right we have Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning available for free on the PlayStation 3 for PS Plus members. This is another fun looking game that I am excited to try out. From the minds of best selling author R.A. Salvatore, Todd McFarlane and the Elder Scrolls IV lead designer Ken Rolston emerged a new RPG that is said to be set in a world worth saving. The game features a huge world to explore, intense action combat and customizable classes.

Die! Die! Die! is $4.99 for the PlayStation Vita and involves some malicious microbes that want to harm you. Really! Using the Vita you can travel into the human body and you will be taken through the circulatory system, intestines and the nervous system. Ridding the body of these microbes that wish to cause you harm will get more and more challenging as the game continues, and not every medicine will work on every microbe. You have a syringe and powerups to help you along your way. If anyone gets this game and plays it please come back and let me know if it is any fun. It certainly sounds interesting.

The latest PS2 Classic is Fatal Frame III: The Tormented, which can be yours for $9.99. The Manor of Sleep is haunting Rei in her nightmares. A cursed mark appears on her and sets her into motion to discover the secrets of the spirit manor. Join her on this journey and see what secrets are unlocked. You will notice a few changes in this version of the game, as some things were altered when it was converted for the PS3. Full details on this can be found here.
