Though I’m away on vacation for most of this week, like many of you I’ll be heading out this weekend to watch Christopher Nolan’s latest superhero epic. It’s been a big week for PlayStation news, too: in addition to the top 10 stories below, this week saw confirmed release dates for two new PS Vita games (Puddle and Foosball 2012), an update on the PS3-exclusive RPG Tales of Xillia, news of a PS3 and PSP launch for Wizorb, the announcement of Beck tracks for Sound Shapes, Comic-Con panel highlights for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale and PSN gem The Unfinished Swan, news of a new low price for MLB 12 The Show on PS3 and PS Vita, a GT Academy Silverstone update, and a cute character-design contest for the upcoming PS3 and PS Vita arcade game When Vikings Attack!
