When it premiered at E3 2007, echochrome was the talk of the town, were the internet a town and forum posters people. Nearly a year has passed since then with very few things being mentioned as its buzz slowly quieted. Then a bolt from the blue appeared in the form of a post on the official Playstation blog. The post let everyone know that the game, scheduled for a May launch, will have its demo released it tomorrow on PSN and for ...

The brain teaser echochrome is finally getting a US release. The PSP version of echochrome will be a downloadable title, available in early May for only $10. All the content featured in the PSP version will be unique to the system (and none of the content from the PS3 version will be in the handheld version either).

"The mind-twisting puzzle game Echochrome made its way to Play.com Live, available on the same unit as Hot Shots Golf 5. Recently released in Japan, I was able to get my hands on some of the latter levels in the game.

As the difficulty ramped up, a mini crowd built around me. With them in awe of my genius (read; luck) I wasn't quite expecting the opinion I overheard."

Videogamer reports that Sony has confirmed release dates for a host of upcoming PlayStation Store titles, both for PS3 and PSP via the PC PlayStation Store.

Coming to the PS3 store this month is Pain, followed by Elefunk in April and the wonderful looking echochrome in May. Pain was released on the US PlayStation Store late in 2007 and we're not entirely sure why it has taken so long to get a European release. Those that do pick the game up this month can also look forward to a bunch of new character packs.

Coming to PSP this spring are flOw and Ape Quest. flOw, a PS3 PSN launch period title, will be available for PSP this month and sees players guiding a luminous creature, hunting and eating other creatures in order to evolve. It's peaceful, calming entertainment and certainly worth a look later this month.

"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."

If you're intent on getting an early run of Echochrome, then you may want to keep an eye out on the region's PlayStation Network. SCEJ has recently announced that they will be releasing a demo of this puzzle title for both the PSP and PlayStation 3 on March 6 (Thursday) next week. That's 13 days before the full game's release.

The Echochrome demo for the PSP is expected to be downloadable from Japan's PlayStation Spot locations, and the PlayStation Store (either PSP or PC). The demo's PlayStation 3 port will be available via the PlayStation Store.

While continuing to dig around for a solid answer on the PSP version of Echochrome I spoke to Scott Goryl, a Public Relations Specialist from SCEA, who told me Echochrome is actually on target for a Spring release in North America. However, this date is currently only for the PlayStation 3 version. They are evaluating the PSP version and if they will bring it to North America or not. (This is consistent with the earlier report I wrote up.)

I followed up with questions about the extra levels, if they would come out as a download pack, and if the canvas mode will remain part of the PlayStation 3 package. In response he explained, the feature list for the PlayStation 3 version has not been announced yet.
