    Delightful platformer Max and the Magic Marker is making its way to PSN, decked out in a full 1080p overhaul. Outside of the injection of so many high-def Ps, this latest port will also support the PlayStation Move. It only seems natural in a game about drawin' stuff. Max and the Magic Marker is currently slated to launch sometime this fall for $9.99 on US PSN and €9,99 in Europe. There will be a total of 58 different levels to doodle your way through, including unlockable challenges, secrets and rewards. Feel free to hit up the gallery below for some screens -- just try not to doodle all over them. Unlike the game, you can't really erase stuff from your computer monitor. %Gallery-133503%

  • Portabliss: Pigs in Trees (iOS)

    Did you know that you can download handheld games now? That's amazingly convenient! The only inconvenient part of it is finding the right games to buy -- and that's where we come in, with our Portabliss column. In each installment, we'll tell you about a downloadable game on the iPhone, iPad, Android device, DSi, 3DS, PSP, etc. Today: Pigs in Trees. If I were to tell you that the game I was playing involved birds, and also pigs, and also the birds and pigs were embroiled in some kind of ceaseless melee, but that the game I was playing was not that one super-popular game, you'd probably assume I was playing some clone of that super-popular game that had been placed on the App Store as a trap for dumb people. I know this, because I am telling you that, and you are totally assuming that. Pan Vision and Tactile Entertainment's Pigs in Trees is anything but dumb, however -- though it is something of a trap. The first few, brief and uninspiring levels left me believing that I'd be able to put the game down after just a few minutes with it. After a few hours of blasting birds out of the sky with my biplane-piloting swine, I realized that I was just about as wrong as I've ever been.
