    Video games! They've been hibernating through the summer, but this week's PlayStation Store update brings plenty of the blighters onto PS4, PS3 and Vita. Let's start with the biggie, Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil Edition, which brings Reaper of Souls to the action-RPG on PS3 ($40) and debuts the game itself on PS4 ($60). It's also out on Xbox 360 and Xbox One. The two other cross-platform releases are Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, which'll eat up 40 of your greenbacks on PS4 and 30 on PS3, and the stealthy CounterSpy, a $15 cross-buy purchase that unlocks the game ons PS4, PS3 and Vita. PS4 players also have a choice between the hyperviolent $10 Hotline Miami - also cross-buy - the somewhat less violent The Last Tinker: City of Colors ($20) and the retro Arcade Archives Rygar ($8).

  • The Last Tinker: City of Colors glues together a world on PS4

    Everyone's got a favorite color, but most people don't love theirs enough to divide a hometown into hue-defining districts. Then again, most people don't solely consist of paper and glue, but The Last Tinker: City of Colors is set in a different kind of world: Tinkerworld, actually. PS4 owners can solve Colortown's disputes as protagonist Koru on August 19, when Loot Entertainment introduces developer Mimimi Production's craft to the PlayStation Store. Koru lives in the outer district slums, where different colors can share the same canvas without causing trouble, but in the case of Koru, you can't harbor special powers without creating a bit of a scene. Drama can be forgiven though – The Bleakness has descended on Colortown, and it's up to Koru to curb its reach throughout a platforming, puzzling adventure. A price hasn't been shared for The Last Tinker's PlayStation debut, but a response from Loot's Jason Sorensen teases that fans will "really want to be a PS Plus member" when it arrives. At least The Last Tinker's $19.99 Steam pricing for PC, Mac and Linux gives us a sense of what to expect. [Loot Entertainment]
