Asian PSN update for the week of 1/19 - 1/25

by Majed Athab { 9 months ago }

There is only one noteworthy item in this week's update, and that is a trailer from Capcom's closed theater at last year's Tokyo Game Show. It's not the first time non-TGS goers could have gotten a peek at this potentially spoilerific footage; however, this is the first chance to watch it in HD ... over and over again at one's leisure. So go grab it if you've got an account.

European PSN releases for January 15th

by Jem Alexander { 9 months ago }

Today's update isn't bad. Certainly not as bad as last week's, but there's something missing. Maybe it's the lack of LittleBigPlanet DLC (which is promised to start again next week), or maybe it's the lack of Street Fighter II HD, Penny Arcade and Lumines. What we do have are two demos, plenty of DLC and Creat Studio's fourth title, Magic Ball. It also appears that Europe is finally able to download all the High Velocity Bowling DLC that America has been hoarding for months now. Here's the full list:

Playable Content

Magic Ball full game (£7.99)
Dead Space demo
Skate 2 demo

Add-on Content

WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2008 roster update (£3.19)
3x Shaun White Snowboarding add-on packs (2x £3.99, 1x free)
Brain Challenge expansion pack (£2.39)

A new Flock trailer for now, Ultimate Ghosts and Goblins later

by Joystiq Staff { 9 months ago }

Capcom has released a new Flock trailer via the PlayStation Blog. Yes, it's as adorable as you'd expect. Just in case you've forgotten they also take the time to reiterate that the game will feature over 55 levels, 2-player co-op, a level editor, trophies and custom soundtracks. Hopefully we'll be seeing the game release pretty soon.

Retro PSP fans will also be glad to hear that Ultimate Ghosts And Goblins will be released on the PSN Store this week for $19.99. Check out PSP Fanboy for the official trailer.

Skate 2 demo arrives on PlayStation Store next week

by Andrew Yoon { 10 months ago }

EA's Skate 2 will be arriving on the PlayStation Store next week. Strange, considering the demo is available on Xbox Live this week. Maybe EA is playing console favorites again? (PSN has been home to demos of Lord of the Rings Conquest, The Simpsons Game and others earlier than on Xbox Live.) Regardless of the one week delay, PS3 fans can expect a lot to do in the demo, especially as it includes access to two online "Party Play" modes: Thrasher's Hall of Meat and Spot Battle.

European PSN releases for December 24th

by Jem Alexander { 10 months ago }

Merry Christmas from SCEE. Today's update brings three full games, three demos, the normal extreme amounts of music-based DLC and, of course, the LittleBigPlanet Metal Gear Solid pack. There are also a bunch of price drops on some excellent PSN games (though, is it just us or has WipEout HD always been that price..?). Savage Moon is good fun, particularly if you're a tower defense fan. There's also a ton of PSP content, which you can check out over at PSP Fanboy. Here's the full release list:
