‘Heads-up’ PlayStation Store update, 24th April 2013

First up this week, revisit the mysterious town of Greenvale with Deadly Premonition: The Director’s Cut and discover more secrets, bask in the beauty with redefined graphics and move with greater freedom with a complete control overhaul. [UPDATE: Deadly Premonition will now launch on 1st May.]

“All roads lead to Gran Soren”. Oh yes they do. One of my favourite games of 2012, Dragon’s Dogma receives the digital treatment. Assume the role of Arisen and take on goblins, harpies, wyverns and other ferocious creatures in this fantasy action RPG. Experiment with the variety of classes on offer and journey across the grand world of Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen. Includes the original full game and the Dark Arisen expansion.

Dead Island: Riptide takes players to the island of Palanai on the Banoi archipelago, infested with bloodthirsty zombies and only a few remaining survivors still fighting for their lives.

Introducing terrifying new enemies, deadly weapons, a new playable character and much more, Dead Island Riptide will draw players back into a world that has grown corrupt – with the last rays of hope vanishing in rising tides.

Next up, one I have fond memories of back on PS2 – Zone of the Enders HD Collection, now in lovely HD. Enjoy beautiful visuals and satisfying High Speed Robot Action in both ZOE and The 2nd Runner.
