Let the bone crunching begin!

PAIN has finally arrived as expected on the European PS Store. We're really pleased to see it has made it's way over here and can't wait to start tossing mimes (no, that's not a euphemism for anything else, before you ask).

So what else came our way today in what Sony are saying will be "the end of poor EU updates"?

PS3fanboy reports:

"It has been confirmed to us that the wait is finally over. Europeans can get their hands on PAIN, as well as a few add on packs (probably the character packs already released in the US) this coming Thursday. With last week being described as "the last bad update for a while", things should pick up from now on. Yeah. How many times have we heard that one?

The localisation issues that cause these ridiculous delays (it's been four months since PAIN was released in America) are due to be addressed at some point in the near future. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, something needs to be done, so we'll look forward to these discussions with cautious anticipation."

"New game? Idol Minds has got something in the works that will be going to prototype soon. Obviously, it's much too early to go into detail on it, but I'll gladly share this little nugget ¿ expect farts."

"Sony has confirmed the release dates of a couple of games that were announced last year at E3.

Elefunk and Echochrome are probably the most exciting ones, but there is also Fl0W for the PlayStation Portable, if that interests you. Also, Pain is set to release on the European PSN store this month, along with bonus characters and an expansion.

Hit the jump for a press release."

Elefunk and Echochrome are the two main items that catch my attention but there is also Flow for the PSP. I am looking forward to Echochrome as I know a lot of people are, there are never enough challenging puzzle games that are so different from the typical falling block games.

Pain is set to be released on the European store (NZ included) this month along with some bonus characters as an expansion. It would be nice if they had released a different map instead of the extra characters as that would increase replayability far more than some new characters."

From leading man Travis Williams, comes this post on the official PAIN site:

"I am actually writing this update in LAX because my flight was just delayed for an hour AGAIN (I am headed to the Game Developers Conference). This past month has been quite the journey. I must admit that it has been a learning experience that wasn't as PAINless as I initially expected. The good news is that if you are still with us then that update is right around the corner. Right around the corner like Thursday the 21st of Feb. This update includes the leader board reset (and the fix to the score exploit) It also includes the Free Single Player Fun With Explosives Mode and Hung Lo.

Single Player Fun with Explosives comes complete with it's own Leaderboard too. Lets see how long it takes for you guys to beat my personal score. I will also answer a few questions (demands) that I have been promising everyone for a while. I hope this will shed some light on what is going on with our PAIN."

Via Coke, apparently a senoir board member over at the PAIN boards, we be havin' some scurvy fun in a wee bit! (..don't know if that's actual pirate talk.)

"As I mentioned in my previous post, we can't leave our Pirate lovers hanging, so here's a sneak peek at the guy we're working on now. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Scurv Dogg: We call him "S-Dizzle" round these parts.

Straight from the South Central Seas, Scurv Dogg is a bitter, bitter man, mostly due to the fact that his hip-hop career hasn't blown up yet (mostly due to music Piracy, which is kinda ironic, isn't it?). Perhaps you can give him a hand blowing up with a few careful Ooches into exploding crates. Make it happen, Cap'n! You'll seen Scurv on your Character Select screen some time shortly after Hung Lo makes his entrance. He's not a big guy, but he's hard to miss. You just know we couldn't let Hung Lo operate without someone his own size to pick on."

Dec 21, 2007 December is the month of giving and, better yet, receiving. December is the month when sugarplum visions of $400 consoles and $60 games dance through your head. And, of course, December is the month when your loved ones usually just cheap out and buy you a gift card instead. So long as that gift card is an online points card from Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo, however, you'll be alright. With so much downloadable content available for so little money, you could stretch a few ... » Read More

According to IGN: "The hits keep on coming for Pain, Sony's latest downloadable title that has players launching a character and banking points on how much damage the human projectile does. As IGN reported earlier, two of the in-game characters -- Santa and the curvy Cookie -- are giving gamers error messages when folks try to play as the Christmas-themed duo. The ensuing note asks that PS3 owners reinstall the game."
