It’s hard to compare the video game industry today with the video game industry of ten or twenty years ago, But being the stubborn individual I am, I feel the need to. Current generation consoles, with their online connectivity and impressive graphics power are leaps and bounds more advanced than the Sega Channel or Mario Paint, but what about certain genres that never quite made the jump to next generation?
If you haven’t played Trine yet, you’re in for a treat as the game is finally hitting the US PlayStation Network this week. It’s been available on PC for a while and hit the EU PSN about a month ago, but US gamers will be able to grab it on their PS3 this Thursday. The game is an action/platformer with a lot of awesome puzzles.
Check out the game’s trailer and be prepared to buy this on Thursday.
PS3 and 360 gamers may have to wait a bit to experience the pure awesome that is Trine, a 3D platforming puzzle game developed by Frozenbyte. The game ended up being a very pleasant surprise for me when I played it, everything about it is awesome – the puzzles, graphics, and especially the music, which reminds me of the original Fable game, somewhat.
Ari Pulkkinen, the composer of the Trine soundtrack, has made the music available for download today – for a price, of course, but you can hear the main theme for free.
If you’re a console gamer who hasn’t heard of Trine, or if you are still anticipating the release of the game on PSN or XBLA, trust me – it’s well worth the wait. The PSN version has been delayed until “Q3 2009″, and the XBLA version is still in development.
Coming Soon!
