No one ever thought it would take this long, but it did. The PlayStation Network is on the road to recovery, after nearly a month of downtime following a catastrophic hacking attack that saw the perpetrators make off with untold amounts of potentially sensitive personal information.
Now, things seem to be turning for the better, as Sony exec Kazuo "Kaz" Hirai delivered a statement via video (visible below), unveiling Sony's plan to restore PSN to its former glory. And by "former glory" I mean "being not dead".
PS3 users can now connect to the internet to download what is perhaps the most welcome firmware update in the console's history, one which will force players to change their PSN passwords.
North American users can also check this fancy map to see which of their home states and portions of Canada have had their online gaming capability restored. As of this writing, you jerks in Maine, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Rhode Island should be able to hop online and play some online Mortal Kombat or Portal 2 co-op for the first time...ever.
Demons, Zombies, Swords.Even a labyrinth too.All coming to you.

Tokyo Jungle, plus three more.
Sound Shapes is good, too.

From now until...
If there's anything good that can be said about Sony's decision to remove PS2 backwards compatibility from the PS3, it's that the inability for gamers to play their old discs may have spurred the company to encourage releasin...
The Growlanser series has had a slightly inconsistent release schedule in the West. The second, third, and fifth games made it out --while the first and sixth never did. Now the PlayStation Portable version of the fourth game...
There's no doubt that the Way of the Samurai franchise is an intriguing series, but is nearly opaque to those unfamiliar with the franchise. One's enjoyment of such games can depend significantly on prior experience with Acqu...
WayForward Technologies is responsible for a glut of some of the best reboots available over the past few years, including the excellent A Boy and His Blob and BloodRayne: Betrayal. Revitalizing classic franchises is a lucrat...
