Here ye, here ye!

Quite a few titles showing up for today’s update including, drum-roll please, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Ratchet and Clank Trilogy, and Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection and all in glorious HD also join the party.

Vita receives Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, collecting Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater into one package.

A 400-year-old clue in Sir Francis Drake’s coffin sets modern-day treasure hunter Nathan Drake on a quest to find the fabled gold of El Dorado.

But stranded on a forgotten island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, his search turns deadly. Hunted by mercenaries, outnumbered and outgunned, Drake and his companions must fight to survive as they begin to unravel the mysterious island’s terrible past.

An artefact found in one of Marco Polo’s lost ships leads fortune hunter Nathan Drake to the Himalayas on the trail of the legendary Cintamani Stone. But he’s not the only one searching for it. Hunted by an army of wild mercenaries, Drake and his allies must risk everything to unravel history’s darkest secret.

Head back to where it all began with Ratchet & Clank in their first three smash-hit adventures and fight to save the galaxy one planet at a time.

Ratchet & Clank
When robot model B5429671 – or Clank to his friends – escapes from the production line, wisecracking Lombax mechanic Ratchet’s dreams of space adventure suddenly explode into life.

Ratchet & Clank 2
As the newest Megacorp Commando, Ratchet and sidekick Clank must set out in pursuit of a shadowy thief, battle crews of hired goons and unravel the mystery of a mutant force that threatens to devour the galaxy.

Ratchet & Clank 3
Hordes of vicious Tyhrranoids are rampaging across Ratchet’s home planet of Veldin under the command of robotic super-villain Dr Nefarious and it’s up to Ratchet – the newest sergeant in the Galactic Rangers – and his trusty sidekick to stop him.

Snake’s beginning. Raiden’s beginning. METAL GEAR SOLID’s beginning.

The stories that cover all origins have arrived on the PS Vita!

MGS3 is set in America and the Soviet Union during the Cold War and tells the story of Naked Snake (who later becomes ‘BIG BOSS’) and his legendary mission which is to become his origin and takes place during an ever changing political period (SCENE).

The underlying theme of MGS2 is MEME (Cultural Genes) and its deep story shows a glimpse of a history yet to be through the battles of Solid Snake and new FOXHOUND member Raiden, and the repeated threats of terorrism they must deal with.

As with parent to child, so is the METAL GEAR saga passed on to the next generation in this collection, through tales that span half a century.

Be sure to check out Andy’s PSVita sale for what’s new in the final week. There’s some excellent RPGs to be found!

If that’s not enough, check out the price drops (see below) which includes Sorcery (Now £19.99), Siren Blood Curse (Now £10.99) and more!

See below for the list of other titles and DLC due out this week.

Happy gaming. Stay safe.
