Heres the latest news from the PSN Team:
Anyone that has received a PSN (http://eu.playstation.com/psn/)message informing them that a friend of theirs has poked an otter with a stick will be delighted to hear that Frobisher Says! (http://eu.playstation.com/psn/news/articles/detail/item470866/?WT.mc_id=PDC_blog_g) is now available to all PS Vita (http://eu.playstation.com/psvita/)owners for free.

If you don’t know what Frobisher Says! Is all about, here’s an introduction from developer Ricky Haggett from Honeyslug (http://www.honeyslug.com/):
Frobisher Says is a surreal party game, where players must obey the whims of a strange little man called Frobisher, who is terribly spoilt and entirely used to getting his own way. He’s terribly demanding and a bit frightening if crossed, but his orders are often quite whimsical – he might insist on players doing things like “poke an otter with a stick”, “deliver my pudding on a toy train”, or “smile at some ladies (but not at the badgers!)”. He might even ask them to prise open all the clams in his spaghetti marinara – despite the fact that he doesn’t even like clams.
The game showcases all of the features of the Vita – from front and rear touch, to motion, camera, and face-detection, as well as traditional controls. It’s designed specifically to be played with up to 8 friends, but you can play alone for high scores too, if you don’t have any friends.

There are over 50 games, each with a unique art style – we worked with a large and diverse art team from all kinds of backgrounds, from comic books to pixel art, collage to medical illustration – so that as the games change, the art does too, spiraling players down into Frobisher’s crazy, confusing world.
Frobisher Says! will be available to download on PS Vita (http://blog.eu.playstation.com/tag/ps-vita/) with today’s PlayStation Store update (http://blog.eu.playstation.com/tag/store-update/), and it’s free. A DLC pack featuring 15 brand-new mini-games will also be released on May 2nd priced just €1.99/£1.59.
