Daily Scoop: August 2, 2011 – It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this t-shirt!
Sometimes, I go for days at a time without offering up a t-shirt of the day. Today there are two that I feel I might not be able to live without! But first: today’s deals!
Fortunately, there’s not much to report today. Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games today is Nintendo’s Golden Sun: Dark Dawn for the Nintendo DS, on sale for $19.99. This latest addition to the Golden Sun saga “takes place 30 years after the final events of the second game, when the Golden Sun Effect occurred” and uses the touch control for the battle system. Scoop it up!
Don’t forget to check out Amazon’s bonus offer page as well, which has tons of great promotional credit items – including a free soundtrack with Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 2 Innocent Sin. Good times!
And now, today’s double whammy of t-shirt designs, which are about to make me $20 poorer: (more…)

Jordan, Bird, Magic triple-team NBA 2K12 cover
Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. 2K Sports has chosen those three legends to grace the three different covers that’ll be available for NBA 2K12. The basketball sim will be available for the PC, PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii and Xbox 360 on October 4.
After the huge success of last year’s Jordan-infused NBA 2K11, expanding the game’s repertoire of hoops legends is a great idea. The looming NBA lockout probably influenced 2K’s decision to stay away from active players as well.
However, I wouldn’t get too attached to the artwork of His Airness. If you look close you’ll see that, instead of his familiar “23” (or even his short-lived “45”), the number on Jordan’s jersey is a “3.” (A second look reveals that the “2” in “23” is there, just pushed all the way to the left.)
Whoops! Hit the (fast) break for a look at all three covers. (more…)
Limbo, Final Fantasy Tactics PSP added to PSN; big sale on Borderlands GOTY bundle
The atmospheric puzzle-platformer Limbo was added to the PlayStation Store yesterday. It’ll be joined by light gun shooter Fast Draw Showdown, the zombie defending sim Dead Block, and a pair of NeoGeo classics: Baseball Stars 2 and The King of Fighters ’95. Both NeoGeo titles can be downloaded on the PSP as well.
Also available this week is Kyuiin, a wild PSone Import where you control a sentient vacuum in a side-scrolling shooter battle against dirt. On the PSP side of things, Square Enix has added Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions to the PlayStation Store.
Finally, if you’re a Borderlands fan, or even if you’re not, you might want to know that all Borderlands content will be 50% off this week. And if you’ve never played Borderlands, the store has an even better deal: The Borderlands: Game of the Year bundle for just $14.99! That’s the original game and all four expansions, a package that goes for $60 regularly. Whoa!
Hit the jump for more details on all of this week’s releases and check out the PlayStation.Blog for a complete list of this week’s add-on content and PlayStation Plus perks. (more…)
Duke Nukem Forever takes a number two on June bestseller list
Duke Nukem Forever gives players the option to fish a turd out of the toilet bowl and smear it all over the walls of the game world. So it seems rather fitting that Duke’s latest adventure has landed in the #2 spot in The NPD Group’s list of bestselling games for the month of June. The Mighty Duke was toppled by Rockstar’s L.A. Noire; the detective yarn is celebrating its second straight month at the top after it lead the May NPD report as well.
A trio of other June releases also earned their way into the top ten. Sony’s InFamous 2 took the #3 spot, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D hookshotted its way into #5 and Cars 2 stopped for gas at #9.
You can find the full top ten after the break. (more…)

EA shutting down more multiplayer servers
Electronic Arts is planning to perform another of their periodic server shutdowns next month. On August 11th, online play for nearly a dozen games will be retired. Two more shutdowns will follow in October. About half of the titles are EA Sports games that have long since been replaced by newer editions. But if you still play action games like Army of Two or Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, your online time will be coming to an end.
And sadly, any multiplayer Achievements/Trophies associated with these games will be forever unobtainable very soon.
The full list of server shutdowns can be found after the break. (more…)
PlayStation Move Ape Escape added to PS Store; Uncharted 3 beta available to all
Sony has updated the PlayStation Store with a new Move-enabled game, two PSone imports straight from Japan and a quartet of free games for PlayStation Plus subscribers. Oh, and the Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception multiplayer beta is now available for all.
Move owners will get the chance to download PlayStation Move Ape Escape, a new take on the series that very closely resembles a light gun shooter. Import fans have two new games to choose from this week: Rapid Angel, a beat ’em up/platformer; and Yakiniku Bugyou, a cooking sim.
If you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber, you’ll receive several free games this week including:
- Alien Zombie Death (PSP Mini, $3.99 value)

After you finish celebrating the 4th of July today, Sony wants to remind you that there’s just one day left in their “Welcome Back” program. The program was actually scheduled to end yesterday, but it’s been extended, so the last chance for all you PS3/PSP owners to get your free games is Tuesday, July 5 at 9 AM Pacific Time.
In addition to the free games, Sony is offering a variety of other freebies to make up for the month-long PlayStation Network outage including a 30-day PlayStation Plus subscription and 100 virtual items in PlayStation Home.

Daily Scoop: June 29, 2011 – More Uncharted 3 than you can handle!
Did you make it into the beta for Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception? No? Well we’ve got some good news – we have an extra beta code we’re giving away. Click here for more details! And let me tell you… this is a beta you don’t want to miss. I played a ton of it last night, and it’s fun!
For all of you crazy SRPG fans out there, Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games is Square Enix’s Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together for the PSP. It’s $27.99, and if Mike Gutierrez can be trusted, it’s pretty freaking amazing.
As for the t-shirt scene today, well, I want four of them – the shirt.w00t meme shirt, the Tee Fury Rorschach shirt, and Qwertee‘s Portal 2/Pokemon mash-up (gotta test ’em all!). But today’s clear winner is over at Ript Apparel. It’s aptly named “Yet Another Pixel Shirt,” and is pretty cool:
Wow. Love. <3
