Posted By about 10 months, 3 weeks ago

Its hot. Let us all just stay inside and game today, eh?

Ladies and gentlemen, we have officially reached the dreary days of the summer doldrums, that time when it’s almost too hot to move or even think (where I live its expected to reach 112 this weekend alone and the hottest days are still to come). Yet the one good thing about this heat is its also the perfect excuse to simply stay indoors and participate in some gaming related fun. Now comes news today that Sony plans to help us in this best of all ‘beat the heat’ pursuits by way of a major PSN sale next week.

Beginning next Tuesday, July 3rd, and lasting through Monday July 9th, Sony will be holding their PSN Summer Sale 2012, which will see eleven titles on sale for 30 percent off (or 50 percent for PlayStation Plus members). The eleven titles are as follows:

Gotham City Impostors ($10.49 or $7.34 for PlayStation Plus Members)

Real Steel ($6.99 or 4.89 for PlayStation Plus Members)

A boxing-style fighting game featuring robots as combatants, based on the hit film Real Steel. Take to the ring like never before!

While there are plenty of genuinely great games among that grouping of titles, I want to bring especial notice to Closure. This is one the best PSN exclusives to come out in some time but unfortunately its indie nature may have lead many of you to overlook this gem of a puzzle platformer. In which case this sale is the perfect opportunity to make up for lost time. Do not pass up on playing this one.

    Either Infamous or House of the Dead III. I only have $5 left anyway, after buying Beyond good and Evil, Scott Pilgrim, and the Mega Man Legends avatar pack.

    Out of all those games, the only one I plan to buy would be inFamous 2: Festival of Blood.
