PlayStation Home Receiving Uncharted 2, Street Fighter IV, and Tekken 6 Areas
Sometimes you want to play a great game like Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Sometimes you just want to romp around in a virtual space inspired by the great game and play minigames. Sony is giving to the opportunity this Friday when PlayStation Home gets a new space Nathan Drake would be proud to settle down in. Two legendary fighting games are hitting the digital neighborhood shortly before.
The Uncharted 2 Home space is modeled after a Nepalese village composed of models used in development of the PS3 game itself. Home residents will be able to play games where you collect fragments of an ancient mask, run a torch race, and participate in the Fortunate Thieves card battle game .
This Thursday Tekken 6 and Street Fighter IV are getting their own game hubs. This should be the perfect place to organize a match to punish your nemesis for busting out “The Running Man” dance again. It’s hard to dance when being pile-driven by a giant Russian bear-wrestler.
Anybody thinking of hopping onto Home to check out the new areas? Or will you be too busy playing the games themselves?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
