The free-to-play title Penguin Party from XMPT Games reached 10,000 downloads as of last Monday.

If you haven’t given it a try, you should. It’s a fun puzzle game similar to the puzzle mode of ChuChu Rocket!. While they intend to sell additional level packs later on, right now the game is basically entirely free, with the only in-app purchase being a “Thank You.” Which is simply just that, a way to pay the developers if you enjoyed the game, though it also gives you a top hat for your penguins.

Switch Galaxy, one of the better PS Mobile titles, and certainly having the best graphics of a PS Mobile game, is headed towards PSN as a full game, presumably for Vita.

While it’s nice to see great games get promoted to the big leagues, so to speak, at the same time it sends a message to consumers to not buy PS Mobile games, since there will be a better version later. With Minis, most of their sales have already occurred.

It’s nice to see another Mini, The 2D Adventures of Rotating Octopus Character, get a native Vita version. Hopefully the HD version is a little easier to progress in than the Minis version was. Fun game, but could get frustrating.

I usually don’t think much of video game soundtracks, but Velocity had a great one, and presumably its Vita successor, Velocity Ultra (released this week in Europe, probably next week in NA), has a great one as well. You can now buy it at a variety of online music stores.

From TACS Games, this looks to be some sort of puzzle game.
