The Sodium series of games from Lockwood Publishing is a MMOG (Massively Multiplayer Online Game) available to the PlayStation Home community. The Sodium series will be split up into 4 parts and 2 have been released so far. The first instalment known as Sodium One – Salt Shooter came out in December 2009 while the second edition Sodium Two was released in June 2011. PlayStation Home is a web based social platform for gamers playing on PlayStation 3. As it grows, the Sodium series will also incorporate more recent games and attract a larger community fan base.

Sodium One: Salt Shooter

The first 5 levels of Sodium One are freely available and the full version can be acquired from Playstation Home’s, Commerce Point. Countless mini games are also featured in the Sodium Hub where points can be earned by players. These credits can be later redeemed to gain more information about the game objectives.

The mini games like Scorpion Stomp, Tank Training and Desert Quench are the same as the mini versions of the real game. Players can use these games to fine tune their abilities and gain some practice. The unlimited package of Sodium 1 lets the players create their own avatars for the game.

Sodium 2: Project Velocity

The follow up game in the Sodium series is considered to be an expansion of the Sodium One. With widely customisable jet packs, thumping soundtrack and lighting fast speed, this game was first test-run by selected players in the Home community. In contrast to the first edition, the second instalment is available for free.

The game also has a single player mode where players can practice their talents. This is the first racing game in the history of PlayStation Home to feature a real time option. Players can opt to race against any community member.

Players, who can crack the numerous levels in the single version game, earn more credits. They use these points towards upgrade their kit and jump to higher levels and star values. Only players with the same star value are able to compete in a single lobby.
