Skyrim DLC finally arrives on the PS3

This week sees the first instalment of 3 DLC that is coming for Skyrim, for 1 week only the Dragonborn DLC is also 50% off at £6.49, I have just purchased it along with Darksiders 2 that is also available on offer in the new sales to hit the PS Store this week, more on that sale in the following blog post.

In this DLC you get to,

• Explore beyond Skyrim – Leave the province of Skyrim and travel to the coastal island of Solstheim. Encounter the Dark Elven settlers of Raven Rock and the native Skaal, as you unravel the mystery of a Dragonborn’s return.
• Become the ultimate Dragonborn – Harness the power of the Voice as you face off against the 
• first Dragonborn. Wield new shouts and spells including Dragon Aspect – allowing you to summon the inner power of a dragon to deliver colossal blows and strengthen other shouts.
• New powers – Discover dark powers as you journey into a new Daedric realm. Collect books of forbidden knowledge and choose new paths for your skills and abilities.
• New dungeons, creatures, weapons and more – Suit up in Bonemold and Chitin armors and wield Stalhrim weapons as you navigate through a myriad of dungeons. Battle formidable foes like Ash Spawn, Rieklings, and more.

Next week sees the release of Hearthfire in which players will be able to build their own homes and adopt children if they wish to, more info on that in the blog post next week.

F1 Race Stars review

The newest game along with Sleeping Dogs to hit the paid for PlayStation subscription service is F1 Race Stars, the game itself is a Mario Kart / Modnation type game that uses well know racers from the Formula 1 series, so all the favorites are there such as Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen.

The game itself is all about reaching a podium finish whilst using many power ups dotted around the race tracks to help give you the edge, whether they be to help you such as the boost power up or to slow your opponents with a pulse weapon and also ricochet bubbles.

There are courses from all around the world that include cartoon mock ups of things associated with that area, you also dont just travel on tarmac in the game, one level i played also had you traversing down some rapids guiding your car round the bends so not to be slowed down by driving over the grassy bank.

I have not given the multiplayer a go yet but from what I have played the game is great for when friends are over to have a laugh whilst also secretly trying to get the edge over them by using the power ups, you can play 4 player split screen offline too which is always great and much less seen in racing games these days.


There is alot of enjoyment in the game and will be great when I have friends come round to play games for that reason I will give it a 7 out of 10 as it looks great and plays well, next I will give the multiplayer portion a go and hopefully have no issues with that side of the game.

Looking at the list, once again publishers are setting their prices too high to purchase full retail games, especially when they can be had for less from walking down to the local retailer that sells games and also then have the option to trade them in at a later date if you so wish.

PlayStation Store update

Following on from my earlier post about the PS Vita anniversary sale, today is also the day that new PlayStation Plus content goes live, Sleeping dogs and F1 Race stars are on offer this month, the following is a video for them both,

I have already bought and completed Sleeping Dogs and it is an awesome game, well worth taking your time to play it or even signing up to PS Plus if you're not already a member of it,

As for F1 Race Stars, I haven't had a chance to play it yet so I am quite looking foreward, too me it looks like a Mario Kart / Modnation Racer sort of game so hopefully should be good, I might do a review on it if it is.

As you can see the list is pretty big with the discounts it's just a shame there aren't any newer games on offer in the sale, I might have to pick up the Ridge Racer ultimate edition for £10, I also recommend Unit 13, I have it and it is a fairly decent game.

Grand Theft Auto 5 release date

Rockstar have finally penned in when they are going to be selling the next game in the ever popular Grand Theft Auto franchise by releasing this poster on their Facebook page,

According to their newsletter this is slightly later than they had originally planned and said the small delay was just to make the game as good as it needs to be and there was no ulterior motive behind the delay.

Enjoy this video that they have released recently to show off the new addition.
