‘Heads-Up’ PlayStation Store Update (22nd April 2010)

231 70

So, hope you didn’t miss me too much last week…how ever did you cope? :-)

I’m pleased to say that we’ve got three new PS3 games available this week; from gun-tootin’ gunslingers in Lead and Gold – Gangs of the Wild West, to furry domesticated animals running riot in Hamsterball Unleashed, to high-speed arcade action in After Burner Climax…a little something for everyone, and for all those hamster owning fighter-pilots with dreams of wandering the prairies hunting outlaws, you’re especially well served this week.

I’m also going to remind you that the brand new mini Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess! is available, and that the next batch of additional content for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, the Siege Expansion Pack is here too. Add in a mix of new demos, add-ons and various other bits and pieces and that rounds up this week’s update. What, you want more information? Then scroll down for the full list.

From the 5th of May the store will change the weekly update day to Wednesday, so be prepared to reconfigure your week around this monumental event!

Also, have you noticed the blog survey that went up this week? Why don’t you have a gander and provide your feedback, it’s useful for us to gauge your thoughts…but don’t forget to mention how much you love the store, the updates, and of course your ever loving friend, me. :)

As I’m back, that means I’ll be monitoring the comments this week as usual, so give us a shout and I’ll respond to what I can.

Cheers.
