It is already in a state of major improvement over their last playtest, which was just a few weeks ago. This is the most fun part of a project – when all the planes circling around in development space begin landing. <br /><br /><i>News sourced from: <a href="http://www.n4g.com" class="external" target="_blank" class="external" target="_blank">N4G.com</a></i><br /> 2010-03-20T22:10:00+00:00 http://www.simracingworld.com/news/aggregate/external/900646-us-ps-store-update-march-18-dragon-age-lbp-avp-gaga/rss/ Sony updated the US end of PSN late on Thursday, and we were a bit busy with BAFTA stuff yesterday, so this update is a bit late. Sorry for that. However, there&#8217;s a bit to be pleased with, what with Dragon Age: Origins -Awakening landing, the AvP Swarm Map Pack, LBP add-ons for PSP and a little Poker Face for those who like the female fashion-equivalent of Elton John circa 1972.

Continuum Shift , the sequel to Arc System Works' high-resolution 2D fighting game, will be released on Xbox 360 and PS3 this summer.

While I still think Shifter is a definite improvement over the original game, I sometimes felt while playing it that it was too conservative for my tastes. Eventually I decided to make my own mod which would contain some radical changes that might give some people pause, but would hopefully breathe new life into the game for everyone else. As the name suggests, BioMod is primarily concerned with Deus Ex's augmentations, with the aim of making them more balanced, but also a lot easier to manage.

In case Arc didn't notice, those went extinct about ten years ago. Weekly Famitsu broke a story about a Continuum Shift console port months ago, but today's press release confirms a North American version. The game hits Japanese shelves in July, but mum's the word on the gaijin version.

More details on Monday. Today, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift was confirmed for US console release. This is great news for fighting game fans. The original BlazBlue had a good number of balance issues and some of the systems weren't great. BB:CS is re-tooled and re-balanced along with new characters.
