Sounds like a great PSN update

//////
21 mins read

Sound Shapes is the name on everybody’s lips, as the musical platformer hits the PSN this week. Not musically inclined? Could I interest you in some free zombies?

Yes, another update and more zombies. I don’t think anybody will complain about these rotters though. Not only are we talking The Walking Dead here, but we’re also talking PS+ freebies. Both episode 1 & 2 of Telltale’s graphic adventure are free for members. (get them… they’re gooooooood)

Now on to Sound Shapes. I don’t know a whole lot about the game and I haven’t played it yet, but from what I gather you actually make 2D platformer levels out of sounds. That’s borderline amazing right there if you ask me- which you didn’t. Even better, I hear it actually works and is tons of fun. Now that’s  happy tune indeed.

Other than those two notables, this week is a little ho-hum though. There’s the usual cavalcade of add-ons and the like, but nothing too stand out. So with that in mind…
