What's new in the PlayStation Community: August 2011

With gamescom just around the corner, the PlayStation Community is gearing up for lots of play time with great ways for everyone to get involved.

Let's play together!

Fun is always close at hand on the official PlayStation Forums at community.eu.playstation.com. We are running a heap of activities to entertain and reward our brilliant community during the summer months. Fancy your chances as a bluffing gambler, riddle lover or podcast reporter? Then head over to the forums now for fun events to suit all tastes.

Gamocracy One: Legend of Robot

In July, we celebrated the release of the minis title Gamocracy One: Legend of Robot, the game which married the imagination of the European PlayStation community with the skills of Swedish developer The Bearded Ladies in a unique collaboration. Download it now from PlayStation Store if you fancy using H-7's robotic head as a platform and mastering his great range of fantastic abilities.

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

We also enjoyed playing the multiplayer beta for Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, getting to grips with nine game modes, some familiar and some exclusive to this latest instalment in the blockbuster series on PlayStation 3.

We're already looking forward to our next Uncharted adventure during our regular Uncharted 2: Among Thieves fun nights, and you can expect a Warhawk revival as the community's interest in the action-packed 32 player online multiplayer Starhawk grows every day. A tournament is being prepared and should kick off by the end of August.

gamescom 2011 is coming

Take a community trip to gamescom 2011 in the official PlayStation Forums at community.eu.playstation.com. gamescom is the biggest video game show in Europe, where game developers and publishers show off their most exciting products to the world and the fans.

Kicking off in Germany, from 18 August 2011, gamescom 2011 promises to be a spectacular showcase on our dedicated forums too. Who's going? What will be seen? Who will meet our PlayStation Community Team there? Catch up on all the PlayStation news and join the conversation with the rest of the PlayStation Community at community.eu.playstation.com.
