'Heads-Up' Game Store Update 2nd February 2011

Right, I’m sure you’ve already had quite enough of me blathering on this week, so it’s a mercifully short one from me today.

I promised you a great February and by golly are we going to deliver. Highlights this week include the kick off of the Mega minis Sale where you can grab 20 top-shelf minis for 99p/€1.19 each; X-Men Arcade (finally!), which allows up to 6 players to kick some backside in a retro, side-scrolling beat-down as the classic X-men; and Bionic Commando Rearmed 2, the robot arm action platformer with attitude.

We’ve also got trials for both Beat Sketcher and Tetris if you’ve been waiting to try before you buy. There’s also a small selection of additional Special Offers for those in search of the odd bargain.

PSP has BlazBlue Calamity Trigger, fan favourite 2D fighting action, and Lord of Arcana, the much anticipated and highly acclaimed action RPG.

But the star of the show this week has to be the Killzone 3 Multiplayer Beta opening up to all Store users – previously Plus only, now everyone has a chance to get stuck in and blow each other’s brains out in an orgy of blood and violen… sorry, I got a bit sidetracked there. Long story short, it’s awesome, grab it when it becomes available (here’s the bad news) at 11am GMT tomorrow morning.

Also with regard to The UnderGarden, despite the charming blog entry yesterday the game isn’t quite ready to hit the EU digital shelves yet, rest assured it won’t be a long wait and you’re not going to be short of things to do in the meantime.

That’s it – away with you, I say! I will be responding to comments today if I can, if I’m suspiciously absent this afternoon be safe in the knowledge that I’m out doing things to make your lives better and I will get back to the comments tomorrow morning.
