Flower Trophy Guide
Flower is the latest game from thatgamecompany, the ingenious minds behind flOw which was one of the earliest and indeed the first indie game to hit the PlayStation Store. In flower, you control a petal and work your way through environments rejuvenating them to become bright and beautiful once more.
I strongly suggest that if you have bought the game, that you play through each of the 6 levels or ‘dreams’ BEFORE looking at this guide – it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience the first time you play through it and I do not want to ruin that for you.

Japan To Get Downloadable Manga For PSP
PlayStation Japan has announced that they will be adding downloadable Manga to the PlayStation Store. While there’s no mention of what manga will be available as well as pricing, this is great news indeed.

It shouldn’t be too much of a problem for Sony to bring this feature to other territories, though localization could prove to be a hurdle for Sony, especially in Europe.
