Another highly anticipated release this week is The Unfinished Swan. This artistic game is receiving positive reviews, so check it out. Killzone HD joins The Unfinished Swan as a PSN release this week, so if you’ve been itching to replay it with trophies, here’s your chance.
Finally, there’s a bunch of new releases on PS Vita. Street Fighter X Tekken hits the platform, along with a plethora of downloadable content. Costume changes, free gems and more await you. Of course, if you don’t like fighters, there’s the new free app, Frobisher Says! that you can play around with. Rounding out the PS Vita offerings are Super Monkey Ball Banana Splitz, Orgarhythm, and Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward. Oh, and if you want to download Final Fantasy III directly on your PS Vita, you can now do so.
