Although opinions tend to be a bit divided, Blast Factor is still one of the better PSN titles currently available. For me, it seemed like a bit of cheap alternative to Xbox Live Arcade's flagship Geometry Wars, but the arrival of the multiplayer expansion did go a long way towards remedying that problem. Even so, avid Blast Factor players must be looking for a fresh challenge by now, so it’s good to hear that there’s a new expansion pack heading our way.
The expansion, entitled Advanced Research, will introduce a load of new enemies and a selection of new levels with ‘abnormal’ shapes - sounds intriguing. Basically, it's just expect a bit of fresh eye-candy and some tougher challenges to work through – could be great for co-op multiplayer though. Unfortunately there’s no indication of price or release date yet. Via PSU
