New High Velocity Bowling content coming, starting today

A new PlayStation Blog post details a number of new downloadables for everyone's favorite PSN bowling simulator, High Velocity Bowling. Two new characters, Foxy Powers and Chastity Falls, are joining the character roster. The development team will also start offering downloadable ball packs, giving you access to various different ball styles. The first ball pack, which is halloween themed. Each of these downloads will cost you $0.99 when they're made available on the US PSN Store later today. Just to be clear, that's $0.99 per character.

Europeans, you're not being ignored. Mike Skinner, from Team RamRod, says that they "are working as fast as we can to release it to you as well." Maybe next week, eh?

Maybe this Trophy patch will get people to play this SIXAXIS-controlled bowling game. Maybe.

High Velocity Bowling includes custom soundtracks


Yesterday's PSN original, High Velocity Bowling, includes a long-awaited feature: in-game custom soundtracks. ripten discovered that you can play any music from your hard drive (although streamed music is not compatible). Hopefully, this is a sign that upcoming games will more readily sport this much-wanted feature.

[Thanks, Justin!]

Expect the following in High Velocity Bowling: bowling

"Bowling's like life, don'cha think?" No, frankly, we don't, but it's still an entertaining glimpse at the downloadable title High Velocity Bowling, headed to the PlayStation Store at ... well ... at some point. There are eight different colorful characters to play as (and themed alleys to unlock), and with support for up to four players, it's a pretty sweet concept.

The game is fully controlled by the Sixaxis, with a simulated bowling swing. Not sure how comfy the Sixaxis will fit in that manner, but whatever. There's a trophy room where you can view all your successes, which will probably come from the Challenge Mode where you progress through tournaments, matches, and some interesting trick shot performances. Overall, it's a bowling game. What else did you expect?

Does High Velocity Bowling steal more than just hype?


The PlayStation Network's upcoming downloadable title High Velocity Bowling certainly hasn't met critical acclaim so far. When Andrew played the game earlier this year, he felt the game's use of the Sixaxis controller was gimmicky and didn't successfully recreate the feel of actual bowling like that certain other bowling game.

Not only does this game attempt to get in on the hype Wii Sports has created, it also appears to have stolen the name of one of Nintendo's most disrespected and abused characters of all time. Watch the video and see if you can find who we're talking about.
