Siren 2 will be episodic

As the sequel to Sony’s first-party survival horror title on the PS2, Siren, Siren 2: Blood Curse has been announced officially for the PlayStation 3 system, and will be distributed in unique fashion; rather than arrive on a single Blu-Ray disc at retail, the game will be delivered in 12 distinct episodes over the PlayStation Network.

The intial release is scheduled for this summer, although Sony’s press release did not detail whether all 12 episodes would be released simultaneously, or whether they would arrive over an extended release schedule. One thing’s for sure, though, you won’t be able to get it on your laptop, as the title is a PS3 exclusive.

Open Tee 2 and Siren 2 coming in 2008

Sony recently announced their main titles set to release across the PS2, PSP and PS3 channels in the second half of the year, and I must admit that while there are some predictable headline grabbers, like the sequel to Resistance and Killzone, as well as the predictable NBA titles, I have to suggest that the most intriguing titles to me are none of those.

Instead, one of the two Sony first-party titles I’m most looking forward to is Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2 for the PSP. A game that belongs in nearly everyone’s golf bags, the first title is still a favorite that I pick up regularly for a couple hours at a stretch, and yet I’m more than ready for a second dose.

But the most overlooked game could end up being Siren 2: Blood Curse. Although the original PS2 title had its gameplay mechanic problems, it delivered solid chills and the sequel, to be sold exclusively via the PlayStation Network store, promised to be just as blood-curdling. Count me interested!
