Lumines Supernova coming to PSN this Fall

I've mentioned this on my blog before, but I love me some Lumines. I've played plenty of both Lumines and Lumines II on my PSP. Despite how much I like the series, I haven't yet purchased one of the console versions yet. This is mostly due to the XBLA version's silly pricing format and that Lumines Plus is largely what I already own. I think I will take my first real dive into console Lumines this Fall. Q Entertainment recently announced that a new version of the music-based puzzler will be hitting the PSN (on PS3) this Fall called Lumines Supernova. This new iteration will contain new skins in Challenge Mode plus other previously featured game modes like Time Attack, Puzzle, Mission, and Skin Edit. There will also be two new modes. The first is called Dig Down Mode where you have to use falling blocks to get to the bottom of an already filled area. The other new mode is Sequencer mode which lets you make your own backround music for the game. It seems like a pretty good package. If you haven't played Lumines yet, I'd advise either looking into this game when it comes out or finding one of the PSP games. It's a really addictive block-dropping puzzle game infused with music. There's no price yet, but I'll try and update my blog with more details or at least when I've had a chance to play Lumines Supernova myself.
