‘Heads-Up’ Game Store Update 20th April 2011

It’s Wednesday and it’s the ‘Heads Up’date! Yes, it’s that time of the week again – time marches on and we bring you new and exciting downloadable joy nuggets to brighten your lives.

First of all – you asked for it, we listened – in the Latest section you’ll find a new tab called ‘New This Week’, which is exactly the way the old Latest section used to be. So if you want to see everything that’s dropped in the update, that’s where you should head first. Don’t say we never do anything for you.

We’ve got loads of gaming goodness for you this week, including the launch of The Fancy Pants Adventures, Battle: Los Angeles and Red Johnson’s Chronicles.

Fancy Pants Adventures tasks you and up to three friends (online or offline!) with traversing the line drawn world in search of your kidnapped sister – if you’ve played the Flash game of the same name you’ll know the score. This version turns the Fancy Pants formula up to 11 and comes highly recommended.

Battle: Los Angeles is the movie tie-in game for the recent alien invasion blockbuster – kick the aliens off your planet and protect the human race in this first person shooter.

Red Johnson’s Chronicles follows in the footsteps of BTTF and Sam and Max, you play as the titular Red Johnson as he attempts to solve the mystery of the murder surrounding Drownedman’s Bridge. You’ll have to question suspects and look for clues to find the truth! Plus member? Half-price for you! If that’s not an invitation then I don’t know what is.

Speaking of Plus discounts, ModNation Racers has a hefty day-one discount and hits the Store today for you to enjoy, sans disc.

And let’s not forget Patapon 3 – the latest outing for everyone’s favourite war-mongering eyeball creatures hits the Store today for all you PSP owners.

DLC? Well why not, eh? How about Reverie, the long awaited Lords of Shadow DLC, character packs for WWE AllStars, and the Revelation pack, vehicles based on the four horsemen, for MotorStorm: Apocalypse!

And more Capcom avatars – we’re aware of the issue with a couple of the Darkstalkers avatars actually being Ghouls and Ghosts avatars and some of them were linked to the wrong images – these are now fixed. Plus lots of new ones are live today!

That’s it from me, I’ll be in and out for comments. I’ve got to go and get some elaborate trousers.

EDIT:We’ve run into a small publishing issue with Red Johnson’s Chronicles and ModNation Racers, which means that they might not might launch with the main publish but we will get them there as soon as we can.
