editor’s note: I spent a good part of October and early November setting the site up, so I had very little time to dedicate to The Release List. The barebones nature of this week’s column is the result. I will eventually come back to this list and write summaries for some the more important releases once things have settled down. For now, just assume that the titles toward the top are what I consider to be the more noteworthy games and likely candidates for a write-up in the near future.

Trine finally shows up on the PlayStation Network, Antiphona no Seikahime: Tenshi no Gakufu Op.A channels a little bit of Marl Kingdom onto the PSP, and more!

Trine (PS3 download)

Trine is a side-scrolling platformer in which you control three different characters, each of whom has unique abilities that must be utilized in order to progress through the game. The wizard, for example, can levitate objects. The thief has a grapple hook that can be used to get to higher places or to cross pits and chasms. She can also shoot arrows at far away targets. The warrior can deflect enemy attacks with his shield and can also attack with a sword. While I found the PC demo pretty fun and would have no problems with laying down $20 to get it on the PS3, I am certain that most will complain that that amount is too much for a 2D side-scroller. Pity…
