A bit light on the slate for new releases this week, considering there's nothing actually new. The highlight has to be Minecraft, which is currently the best-selling PlayStation 3 game on Amazon at $20. The craze continues, and it's not even out until Friday.
For those that don't know what Serious Sam is, that's an old-school first person shooter that hails to the days of Doom and Quake, when you blow up monsters with massive guns. This new edition is pretty old -- it was released on Xbox a year and a half ago -- and the PS+ price is the bare minimum to get this game. In fact, you're better off waiting for the full-fledged experience of an old-school shooter like Wolfenstein next week.
What is Soul Sacrifice Delta? It's basically an Ultimate Edition, including the game and downloadable content. It includes a "new Grimm faction" and has upgrades over the original edition.

Instant Game Collection
This week's free game is a 2D anime fighter, Skullgirls Encore, on the PlayStation 3. I never played the game, and only heard about the story between Konami and Lab Zero Games. This is an upgrade to the original Skullgirls after the developer cut ties with Konami. After being pulled from availability on consoles last December, the game was re-released under Autumn Games back in February for $15.
For those that haven't gotten burned out on all the fighters that have been released on the IGC for Vita, might as well grab a six-pack and give this one a go. Also, it'd be fun to play a fighter on the big screen for once.
Have a great week, everyone!
