PS3Fanboy writes: A survey sent out by SCEE today indicates that they are weighing up peoples' interest in the Siren franchise. The survey asks questions about Siren Blood Curse and asks people to rate various aspects out of 10. It also asks you whether you'd be willing to buy more games in the franchise in the future and how you'd like to receive them (either in one bunch, like Blood Curse or episodically.)

Did you receive this survey? Even if you didn't, what are your thoughts on the game? Would you like to see more?

Playstation.Blog writes: "Hey PlayStation bloggers! I hope you are enjoying the authentic Japanese horror of SIREN: Blood Curse. It is the first survival horror game available on the PS3, and is available exclusively on PLAYSTATION Network.

By now, I'm guessing some of you must have beaten the game already. If you have, that's great! If you haven't beat it yet, you've come to the right place! I have something for those who might be stuck or are having trouble getting through certain parts you might find helpful in getting past those tricky "Shibito" (zombie-like undead people). And if you haven't tried the game yet, there's a great demo of it on PSN as well."

"Siren: Blood Curse" may be giving "Silent Hill: Homecoming" a run for its horror money this year, but there's one difference: "Silent Hill" is showing up at retail.

Even though Sony has released "Siren" on a Blu-ray disc in Japan and Asia (with plans for Europe), there are still no plans for a proper retail release in the United States, Sony told MTV.

Tsubasa Inaba, of SCEA Santa Monica writes: "The first survival horror game available on the PS3 is coming to the PLAYSTATION Store today! We have worked on this for many a month now, and cannot express enough how anxious we are to hear what you think when you finally get to play this game!

Let me give you just a little bit of background information to get you familiar with the story, in case you haven't seen the trailers or tried the demo yet (there's one embedded below)."

"And yes… Let's talk about pricing and how the product will be released.

So, how do you pick up Siren: Blood Curse? Very easy. Just head to the PLAYSTATION Store on your PS3 and go to the Siren category page. There should be banners up, and it should also be found in the "new releases" section. Now, the game is split into 12 easily digestible chunks, like episodes of a TV series. You'll be able to purchase the game in three separate packs, consisting of 4 episodes each. These will run at $14.99 per 4-episode bundle. Or, right off the bat, you can purchase the full game for a nice discount at only $39.99. This is all available only through the PS Store. Remember, this is a full-length game, much larger in scale than most of the downloadable games available on the store. It's on par with full-scale Blu-ray disc releases, and is all part of our effort to expand our selection of game content on the store."

Sony Europe is announcing that Siren: Blood Curse has received a release date and a price. The episodic content game represents the reinvention of a successful PlayStation 2 survival horror title for the PlayStation 3.

Because of the episodic nature of the game, it will be split up into four chapters, each consisting of three distinct episodes. The first will be available for download from the PlayStation Store on July 24 and will cost 9.99 dollars. Each of the other three chapters will be similarly priced while the full game can be yours for 39.99 dollars.

In the previous games in the series players had to confront a being known as the Datatsushi which entered the physical realm and turned the residents of a village into zombie-like creatures. The aim of the Datasushi was to get them to build a physical body that would allow it to control the world, although the game ended with the non-corporeal being banished from the physical realm. Now the village will again witness a confrontation between good and evil.
