SOCOM 2, Lair, and Heavenly Sword in UK this May

PS3 and PSP UK release date for May - Image 1

Good news readers! The official PlayStation site for the UK has just updated its release calendar for PSP and PS3 titles and we so love to share it with you. And from the look of things, May will be the month to watch out for.

On the PSP side, fans can kiss their waiting woes goodbye as SOCOM: U.S. NAVY SEALs Fireteam Bravo 2 is slated for a May release. Actually, the FPS video game has been available for Continental U.S. ever since November of 2006 though we guess that it's about time for our UK counterparts to join in the fun. The new game features a truck-load of improvements from the last version, among which include multiplayer support.

PS3 fans, on the other hand, get a combo as both Heavenly Sword and Lair were listed. Unlike SOCOM, these PS3 titles haven't been launched anywhere else, so this is a first for them, unless Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) says otherwise. And then there's Lair... need we say more?

Heavenly Sword is a marriage of movie and video game development. It uses real-life actors, including Andy Serkis (a.k.a., Smeagol / Gollum), to make the movements and facial expressions of in-game characters more life-like. The game is about a dying girl who embarks on a last journey to topple the tyrant king of her land.

If you think launch day was good, May is definitely going to be better. As they say, "It's gonna be HUGE!"

This story sucks? This story rocks!

i really, really hope this is true.

ever since i got my hands on Heavenly Sword at E3 last year, i've been itching to go at it again.

if both HS and Lair are releasing in May in the UK, then it's only a matter of time before the US gets it. they've been saying these games were near done for so long, it's about time to start getting some real time frames for release.

here's hoping there's a tasty demo of both to go along with Ninja Gaiden Sigma's demo next month.

and since it's not April 1st yet, i wouldn't count this as an April Fool's day joke.

# april fools joke in uk, c'mon — Guest 2007-03-31 10:00

it has to be!

# Yeah — [BOT] Bob 2007-03-31 10:26

It sucks that over here in the US we have to wait forever in between having a PS3 and getting a really good PS3 game, while in the PAL territories they only have a two month gap, man I'm annoyed.

Also its frustrating that they don't have an actual release day.

# esfcfs — Guest 2007-03-31 10:27

PS3 = region free gaming.

US peeps can import if they want. Yeah, boost our UK sales so more games get released over here first. ;p

# ... — antaeus 2007-03-31 10:49

WHY does it have to be?...

# dont matter to me — Guest 2007-03-31 10:51

"US peeps can import if they want. Yeah, boost our UK sales so more games get released over here first. ;p" dont matter to me if ya get it first or not, cuz if i import it then it doesnt matter just as long as i get it and i'll prolly get it b4 my friends if i import

# I'll be the first in line for both games... — Guest 2007-03-31 11:14

I'll definitely be getting both these games the minute they come out. I think with the release of both of these games, summer coming, and high school kids getting summer jobs, you'll see a huge leap in ps3 sales. Now if Sony would just lower the price a bit. I have numerous friends that say they will buy one, they just won't spend $600.00...even if they have to wait 2 years for the price to drop.

Also, it's too bad my fellow American's can't support Sony as well as others around the world. All we need is for Microsoft to have another monopoly (Sarcastic--since a lot of you don't pick up on it.)

# Arrogant — Guest 2007-03-31 11:38

Man Americans are arrogant. We here in the UK have had to wait over a year for the PS3 due to delays, and over 4 months since it has been released in the USA. We desevre something first, just cuz ur the USA doesnt make you centre of attention!

# ... — theTick197 2007-03-31 12:54

Yes it does.

# ? — Figboy 2007-03-31 14:01

wait forever?

i bought my PS3 i late February.

got Resistance same day.

got Virtual Fighter 5 on March 20

got Motorstorm a week later

got Oblivion last week.

all in all, i didn't wait too long.

waiting for good games after a console launches is standard practice (or did you forget the craptacular launch titles that accompanied the PS2, and the mediocrefest that wast the 360 launch?).

usually, around March or so, the titles slowly start to trickle in, building up to that late summer/fall flood.

the PS3 has been no different from any of the consoles that have launched before it.

Soon, very soon.

# Grand Theft Auto 4 Vs. Greater Toronto Area (Toronto) — Guest 2007-03-31 14:36

Ok, the problem I’m about to address is totally ridiculous. There’re so many kids online who say that the main protagonist in GTA 4 is Russian!!!

R O F L.

L M A O.

What stupid kids you all are. Listen. I’ll teach you some basic common sense.

[Question] (It’s mentioned above)

[Answer] The guy in GTA 4 is a Mexican-American who’s doing illegal things like smuggling people and more.

1. Yo, kids! Are you f+cking blind? Can’t you see that his facial color is brown? He’s brownie. (There’s 0 number of Russian who has brown face.)

2. Are you f+cking blind, again? His hair color is freaking dark (semi-black and brown; There’s 0 number of Russian who has black-brown hair.)

3. R O F L. You ignorant kids!

4. His accent is completely Mexican-English! (Are you freaking deaf, kids? All of you!)

5. Most of all, I have known dozens of Russian-Canadians and Mexican-Canadians in my real life (I live in Toronto, Canada – The most multi-cultural city in the entire world, kids.).

6. You kids are f+cking ridiculous, idiotic and ignorant.

7. This protagonist says he killed ppl, smuggled ppl and sold ppl. This is all about drug and illegal immigrants from Mexico.

8. Most of you kids don’t even know what illegal immigration is. Watch some CNN and Fox News instead of playing games, stupid kids.

9. Anyway, there’re so many games which are made so well. You game addicts who have worthless existence and lives can waste away your pitiful lives by playing all these games.

10. Grow up, kids. How old are you? Games are only for kids under 10.

# Candans — Guest 2007-03-31 15:33

are so retarded

# toronto the most multi-cultural? — Guest 2007-03-31 18:31

Hmmm. You didn't have to write that way to try to explain something. It shows the kind of person you are.

A repply to #5... Toronto is not the most multi-cultural city in the entire world. To start Brazil as a country wins that hands down and Sao Paulo (city..not state) could put Toronto to shame any day.

# ?? — Guest 2007-04-01 00:59

I'd like to think that was true but Kingdom hearts two didnt come out in uk for almost a year after the american release, it's the same for alot of games.

# esfcfs — Guest 2007-04-01 01:06

i checked play asia and they wont export games to UK if they aren't already out in UK. It might be the same if americans want to import from a UK site.

# Thats some pretty poor titles you bought in that list — Guest 2007-04-01 01:35

Why mention the 360 ? oh and Oblivion you waited a year longer for that its budget on my PC now I hope they didnt charge you full price for such an old game?.

# American Sony ? — Guest 2007-04-01 01:38

And if you are American why would you want Sony to have the monopoly ?.

The PS3 will never sell well in the USA just like the 360 in Japan........

# My GTA4 impression: — Guest 2007-04-01 08:51

1. Hey look i can make lists LOL

2. Stupid kids

3. I'm from Canada and know lots of minorities who are all cool and stuff, so that makes me beter than you

5. I like to brag about watching american news channels to make me sound smart, because obviously i'm the only person on the planet who watches this stuff

6. STOP BEING SO IGNRORANT U F*CKING KIDS

7. sh*t, I forgot #4

It's obvious you're under the age of 15 with nothing better to do with your free time, so stop sullying the good name of Canadians and get your dumb ass away from a computer.

# I don't want Sony to have a monopoly. — Guest 2007-04-01 09:25

I don't want Sony or Microsoft to have a monopoly. It's the competition that makes both better. I own both consoles and enjoy both. I just hate seeing all the Sony haters; they make a really good console so give them some props.

# canadians — Guest 2007-04-01 12:41

when you guys cuss...you sound like donkeys.
