PSN shooter has funny name, scrolls sideways
Yep, this PSN shooter, complete with Ye Olde School side-scrolling and – as the trailer boldly promises – the ability to "upgrade your weapons" (how novel) is from the land of Nietzsche. Fortunately, this re-imagination of the 2007 PC game has been updated with new graphics, runs at 1080p, and actually looks pretty fun. Should development continue unabated, the game will have you himmelsstürmering all the way to the PlayStation Store in Oktober.

New Soldner-X trailer shows retro revival is strong
Soldner-X is import retail site Play-Asia's first attempt at publishing a video game. It's a blast from the past: a classic 2D side-scrolling shooter. Only, now with HD graphics made possible by the PS3. Already released on PC, this shooter will attempt to capture the hearts of PSN fans. Considering the amount of attention games like Super Stardust HD received, we're pretty sure that Soldner-X will be quite successful with the PS3 audience.

Some of the key features in the title are standard fare: unlockable difficulties, power-ups, etc. There are a few tweaks to the genre to make it stand out, though. One of these is a "tactical" element system like chaining, berserker mode, and effectiveness systems. We could draw parallels all day, but to have these all in one place is a nice effort. We can't wait to see if the "over the top" boss fights really are insane. What do you guys think? Would this be a welcome change from the dual-analog shooters plaguing the PlayStation Network?
