The two big hitters on the extra side are Mortal Kombat 1 and Marvel’s Spider-Man, and Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 can also play Resident 3 for Deluxe subscribers. As in last month, the Australian dates for each of these games differ from those listed on the PlayStation blog, with games being released in a scattered way, not all at once.

A moment of pure victory, a stretch of frustration in shattering, and dozens of small victories that…

Alan Tudyk says I, Robot in 2004 has unexpected drawbacks. It was he on the sidelines from the promotion of the film. Come on the podcast! Along with Jim Cummings, Tudyk reflected on playing Sonny, the CGI robot at the heart of Alex Proyas’ 2004 sci-fi action film. Despite providing a character’s voice and performance capture, Tudyk says he was removed from the press push after audience tests showed that audience tests resonated more strongly than film star Will Smith. “They were doing test audiences in the film, they got the characters and I got back the words, ‘Alan, you’re…
