{ Aug 27th 2009 at 9:47AM }
Also new this week is the totally free Batman: Arkham Asylum "Play as Joker" DLC, a batch of Crash Commando DLC (accompanied by a price cut for the full version of the game), demos for NHL 10 and F.E.A.R. 2: Reborn, and more content for Disgaea 3 than our minds can currently comprehend. Seriously, we're going to be contemplating the uses of an "Action Prinny" for the rest of the day.

DLC rushes into Crash Commando this week
by Andrew Yoon { Aug 25th 2009 at 2:15PM }
Most importantly, a new map pack will be released this week. For $2.99, players will be able to play through two new maps and the brand new "Heist" gameplay mode. Three new character packs will also be added, for $1.99 each. Crash Commando addicts will be able to pick up all the DLC in a $4.99 bundle -- a good deal if you want all the new extras.

Crash Commando patch incoming, DLC in the 'near future'
by Jem Alexander { May 27th 2009 at 6:30PM }
Crash Commando is about to receive a pretty heavy patch soon, in anticipation of some upcoming DLC which has yet to be revealed. The patch adds a lot of new features, including Home game launching, custom soundtracks as well as improved balance and matchmaking features. There's also a slew of UI improvements and gameplay enhancements, the full list of which can be seen on the latest PlayStation Blog post.
The patch will go live tomorrow -- May 28 -- and a demo will also be made available on the PlayStation Store, which may persuade you to pick the full version up. The blog post also mentions some "all new exciting downloadable content and game modes" which should be arriving "in the near future." We're looking forward to it.

PSN Thursday: Commandos crash over the rain-slick precipice
by Alexander Sliwinski { Dec 18th 2008 at 10:00PM }
The Crash Commandos land this week on the PSN, along with Penny Arcade Adventures Ep. 2. If you're looking to whip up something a little more old-school, check out Castlevania Chronicles. There are also several pieces of new DLC for your favorite music games to keep you rockin' through the holidays. And don't overlook the "Complete My Game, Please" add-on pack for Super Stardust Portable. The complete North American PSN update can be found after the break.
PS3 Fanboy has the European PSN update, which adds Soldner-X Himmelssturmer. Maybe that title is easier to pronounce in Europanese?

Extended Hands-on: Crash Commando
by Jem Alexander { Oct 25th 2008 at 9:00AM }
Gameplay consists of jetpacking around a battlefield shooting at people. The funny thing about these battlefields is that they're two-sided, so each level has a background and a foreground. You can switch between these by stepping through various doors littered throughout each level. You can see people fighting in the background in real time, helping you locate more people to shoot at.
The game will ship with eight levels, ranging from a cave, a jungle fort and a dilapidated ruins. When we spoke to the producer of the game at E3, however, he was keen to tell us that the dev team is planning on plenty of post-launch downloadable content.

Crash Commando will also include full Trophy support, stat tracking, rankings and leaderboards when it launches, though there's currently no word on price. PS3 Fanboy had some hands-on time with the title during E3, so have a look if you're curious.

Crash Commando will also have full Trophy support when it launches in European territories this December. No word on a US release date yet, but expect it around the same time. Check out our E3 hands-on for more info on the game and peruse the gallery for the latest screenshots.

PS3 Fanboy hands-on: Crash Commando
by Jem Alexander { Jul 22nd 2008 at 3:30PM }
Click for high resolution image.
A five-man development team in Sweden has been working for over a year, so far, to develop Crash Commando. The game will release with eight maps, trophy support and downloadable content is already being planned. Deathmatch and team deathmatch are already included in the game and a capture the flag mode is aiming to be included for launch or post-launch DLC.
Every map is "double sided," meaning that there's a front and a back and walking through doors will allow you to switch at any time. On the map we played, we could see our enemies moving around in the background, on the "other side," which gave a nice sense of depth. Movement is very free, as every character is equipped with a jetpack, allowing more time to be spent on fast paced combat.
