Afrika - PS3

As if the release of Aquanaut's Holiday on PS3 - see below - wasn't enough to get you excited, Sony's much talked about safari sim Afrika is also on its way, and is due to be released in Japan on August 28. Sony are on record stating they currently have no plans to release Afrika in the west, but hopefully something will be announced at the forthcoming E3.




Afrika was first shown at the E3 conference back in 2006, and details since then have been few and far between. What we do now know, however, is that you take on the roll of a wildlife photographer. You'll be given assignments to observe the animals in their natural habitat and record your findings on camera.

Looking like a grown-up version of Pokemon Snap, Afrika looks very interesting and it would be a real shame if Sony were to keep the game Japan only.
