Looks like that elf-rogue costume will have to wait till 2013.

Trash has never looked so good.
Janitors with an affinity for aerial acrobatics – say no more, I’m in. Dustforce is a peculiar concoction, simultaneously delivering serenity and insanity. It’s like a Siren luring in unsuspecting bystanders with its unprecedented beauty only to reveal an unnerving ferocity. Harboring difficulty on par with Super Meat Boy and N, Dustforce differentiates itself with its soothing melodic ambiance. While this game tests your limits and perhaps even your sanity – it is oddly enjoyable.

Fun while it lasts, this unique puzzle platformer ends just as it's getting started.
It’s almost eerie how much Mighty Switch Force reminds me of an SNES game. It’s not bogged down at all by story, character development, or anything that normally keeps a game from moving forward. Players are dropped into a world with no explanation of who they are, how to use their abilities, or what they must do in order to complete the level. Despite all this, it comes naturally, as if you’ve played it before and already know exactly what to do; a sure testament to the game’s fantastic design. Unfortunately, like many an SNES game, it’s over all too quickly.
Due to a change in pricing, the PSN version of the game will be a week late.
Lexis Numerique and VectorCell have announced that their upcoming title Amy will be delayed by one week on the PSN. The reason is because "changing a price in the PlayStation™ Store system takes some time because of technical reasons linked to the servers."

PixlBit had an opportunity to interview the game's producer, David Ross, about the development of the game, working with the NFL license, and preserving the classic experience.
