PlayStation 3 owners get a dose of historical warfare today with the release of Electronic Arts and DICE’s Battlefield 1943. Plagued with server issues during the Xbox Live Arcade launch of the game, we hope that its arrival on the PlayStation Network will go much more smoothly. How are we supposed to control Wake Island when our bullets suffer a two second delay? I know war was much less technical back then, but that’s pushing it. Battlefield 1943 is available for $14.99, and as a limited time offer, it’ll be bundled with an XMB Theme!
Also appearing in the PlayStation Store this week is Buzz Junior: Robo Jam, a game where mischievous robots get sent to Robot Boot Camp! Now all those mischievous children that don’t get sent to Boot Camp can imagine what it would be like if their parents DID send them. And if they were a robot. Buzz Junior: Robo Jam is available for $4.99.
