From the moment 4-year-old Cameron first stepped out into Glimmer in Spyro 2, he knew video games were going to play a central role in the rest of his life. Though he never planned to make it the focal point of his career, Cameron spent the vast majority of his spare time growing up playing games, and following graduation from the University of Reading, he thought he’d try his hand at writing a few reviews. Six years later, Cameron has reviewed countless games, written thousands of news and feature pieces, and interviewed a wide range of developers for GameRant.
PlayStation Plus has just added another two games to its Extra catalog. These two new additions to PS Plus are Ball x Pit, a Breakout-inspired roguelike bullet hell, and Slitterhead, a horror action-adventure game.
PS Plus Adds Ball x Pit and Slitterhead to the Extra Catalog
On September 22, PlayStation Plus Extra added Ball x Pit and Slitterhead to its roster. Developed by Kenny Sun and published by Devolver Digital, Ball x Pit is a game of two halves. The first half of Ball x Pit‘s gameplay loop sees players traveling upwards on a vertical screen, launching a ball and using it to destroy oncoming blocks that shoot projectiles towards the player. Like in Vampire Survivors, destroying blocks fills up a meter that eventually rewards the player with some kind of upgrade, which includes new ball types and new passive abilities. Completing a mission then returns players to their town, where they can use earned resources to purchase new buildings that in turn grant new abilities for each subsequent run.
Developed and published by Bokeh Game Studio, Slitterhead is a 2024 horror action-adventure game directed by Silent Hill creator Keiichiro Toyama. In Slitterhead, players take control of a possessed girl who must save a 1990s-era Kowloon from an infestation of the titular monsters.
