‘Heads-Up’ PlayStation Store Update (11th March 2010)

Howdy everyone and welcome to your 10th ‘Heads-Up’ of the 2010. How the weeks fly by! Once again I’m standing in for Mike while he’s away working hard so it falls to me to deliver the gaming goodness.

For your PS3 this week, we’ve got Capcom’s sublime Mega Man 10 in all his 8-bit glory – retro gaming at its finest (and most challenging).

With all the Resident Evil 5 DLC recently, maybe you’ve been thinking about picking up a copy for yourself, so we’ve dug out the Resident Evil 5 demo from the archive for a limited time for you to have another go and help make up your minds. For those of you who own the game and have been holding out on grabbing the new levels, hold out no more as we’ve got the Untold Stories bundle, collecting both of the new missions and both costume packs in one convenient package.

The Dragon Age expansion, Return to Ostagar makes its way to the PSN Store just in time to whet your appetite for ‘Awakening’ which will be with you next week. Moving on, it’s time to get back in your bathysphere for the first expansion for Bioshock 2 - the Sinclair Solutions pack is now available to extend your Rapture multiplayer experience.

After slender pickings last week, you’re in Handheld Heaven today with two new minis, five PSOne Classics (all of which will sit just as well on your PS3 of course) and a selection of PSP titles old and new.

Two fantastic PS3 franchises make the jump to PSP this week – the fast paced, team-slaughtering, royalty-stuffing, confectionary-munching Fat Princess: Fistful of Cake and the slightly more sedate, but no less brilliant tactical card battling game, Eye of Judgement Legends.

We’ve got a brand new version of SEGA’s arcade classic, Afterburner and the legendary puzzle adventure MYST heading up the rest of this week’s offering, which also includes tower assaults, car combat, square pants and a flying platypus. And if you haven’t picked up Echoshift yet, to help put things in perspective we’re throwing two brand new levels packs your way, absolutely free.

That’s all for this week guys, I’ll be around for comments and Mike will be back with you on the 18th March.

Oh, almost forgot. We’ve got a fighting game featuring some characters from some of the biggest selling RPGs of all time. Maybe you’ve heard of it? It’s called DISSIDIA FINAL FANTASY.
