Idol Minds release PAIN patch 1.5
February 22, 2008

Available today is the first update Idol Minds and SCEA have released for PAIN.  With this update we’ve made several improvements to the game and we’ve introduces some exciting new content for download.

The new character available for purchase ($.99) is Hung Lo, our favorite dwarf ninja.  He’s an absolute blast to play with and a real Ooch Master.  Over the coming weeks we’ll be releasing a hip hop pirate, a nurse and a cheerleader for purchase.

Also with this update we’ve include a new mode for free.  Fun with Explosives multiplayer has been a real hit with the community, so we made a few modifications and now have a single player version.  Take a shot and see how high you can get on the leaderboard.

Patch 1.6 is currently in test and should be available for download soon.

PAIN in review
January 3, 2008

We’ve really enjoyed reading the reviews from all the different sites and are thoroughly pleased that the greatest complaint is that people can’t get enough!  We’re hard at work on the next major release (an Amusement Park setting) and will get it out as soon as possible.

Here are some links to PAIN reviews:

 “There is nothing more rewarding than having a room full of gamers all cheering and groaning like they were at some twisted sporting event. PAIN is great fun and I highly recommend it.”

 “…but for what it is and what it costs, PAIN is hands-down one of the best things ever to hit the PS3.”

Idol Minds releases PAIN
November 27, 2007

Idol Minds and SCEA are absolutely thrilled to announce the release of PAIN for the PLAYSTATION 3. 

PAIN is available now in the PlayStation Store for immediate purchase and download.  Priced at $10 PAIN is absolutely the most fun we’ve ever had making a game and we can’t wait to share the laughs with everyone. 

This initial release of PAIN contains the Downtown setting and several additional characters that can be purchased.  We’re already deep in production on the next setting and will be releasing many content updates over the next year.
