Darkness casts shadow over Sony's Q2 lineup - PlayStation 3 News at GameSpot


After slowing to a trickle in recent weeks, the flow of PlayStation 3 games is poised to resume full force. Today, Sony Computer Entertainment America announced it plans to release more than 100 games--including many PS3 titles--in North America during the second quarter of 2007, which ends on June 30.

The PS3's Q2 slate contains several rereleases of games already available on other platforms. These include Vivendi Games' shooter F.E.A.R., already out for the Xbox 360 and PC, and Ninja Gaiden Sigma (June), a reworked version of the critically lauded Ninja Gaiden Black--which was itself a revamp of Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox. The Sony-developed baseball sim MLB 07: The Show (May 15), which was released on the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable last month, is also on the docket.


SCEA's second-quarter PS3 schedule also includes several all-new games, including another baseball game, 2K Sports' The BIGS (June 25, also due out on the PS2 and PSP). Foremost among these is The Darkness (also June 25), a comic-book-inspired shooter from The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay developer Starbreeze Studios and 2K Games. Just after its film inspiration hits theaters, Spider-Man 3 (May 4) will swing onto the PS3, with another film-inspired game, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (May 22), arriving on the console during the quarter. (Both Spider-Man 3 and At World's End are coming to the PSP and PS2 as well.)
