For PS3 users you can get hold of Critter Crunch (trial and unlock) and Invincible Tiger, as well as the demo for Smash Cars, there are two packs available for Dragon Age: Origins (that’s my weekend gone then) and a host of other content too.

Oh, did I mention a certain Snake makes an appearance this week too…we finally have the PSone classic Metal Gear Solid available!

Also, I think you PSP owners will be feeling some love this week with titles available such as LittleBigPlanet, Assassin’s Creed Bloodlines, Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier, The Warriors and plenty more. There are also two further minis on the store this week, Echoes and Pinball Dreams; for the full list of this week’s content have a scroll down.

There will also be a couple of titles made available this coming Tuesday (24th of November)…I was going to be mean and keep you waiting but I wouldn’t do that to you all . Therefore on Tuesday you’ll be able to get hold of Gravity Crash (both the full game and a trial & unlock) and for LittleBigPlanet an Assasssin’s Creed costume will be available too.

Leave comments as usual, but please keep in mind that I don’t work on the Video Download Service, so I won’t be supplying answers about that…

Have a good week!

For the rest of the update this week, we have a varied offering, taking in a new bundle for Burnout Paradise, a new quiz pack for Buzz!, Fat Princess makes an appearance in PAIN and there is also additional content for Rag Doll Kung Fu, EyePet, Rock Band and Guitar Hero.

PSP users get three new games, three new minis, and the demo for Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier.

I know lately we’ve had a bit of a lull in the updates, and whilst they may not have been massive, we have been adding steadily to the store (for you PSP users especially), but next week, there should be a nice stream of content released, and I’m hopeful that some of you will be pleased once you see what’s coming .

There will always be dips in the release schedule, that’s just the way it goes at times, but we always come out the other side smiling don’t we? Seriously though, we’ll be doing our best to make sure these lulls become less and less frequent, because we do want our community to be happy smiley folk after all!

Anyway, as usual leave your comments below and I’ll do my best to trawl through them. I may not respond directly, but I am reading and taking note, promise.

For PS3 users we have got the NBA 2K10 demo available properly (we had some issues first time we tried to release this for you) and the Hextadon pack for Brütal Legend arrives and is free to all for the first two weeks of release, so don’t miss out on this offer. LittleBigPlanet celebrates its anniversary with two pieces of free content; they will only be around for one week, so grab them whilst you can.

The highlight this week for PSP users must be Ghostbusters surely? However, this is followed by two other full games – Dragoneer’s Aria and Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron. We also have another mini making its way to the store in the form of Spot the Differences!

If the new content doesn’t take your fancy this week, then check out the new batch of special offers – it’s a good opportunity to grab some content you may have missed previously, and at reduced prices too.

Finally there’s also an additional piece of content making an appearance on Tuesday (the 10th of November)…more details to follow.

That’s your lot this week.

I’ve noticed that a few corners of the internet picked up on a comment I made last week saying that this week would be a big update, I just wanted to put it into context before I began, the full comment was ‘Well next week is going to be a mammoth update in comparison – I can tell you all that much”, I think the key wording here is ‘in comparison’.

I’ve set this up like it’ll be a small update now haven’t I? Well, I’m only toying with you dear reader , this week is a veritable feast of goodness, so join me as we jump into today’s update to savour the tasty delights that will befall you later today.

Seeing as Halloween is round the corner we have some suitably apt content, in the form of Zombie Apocalypse, the mini title Zombie Tycoon, Elvira makes an appearance in Pain, the Pumpkin mask returns for one week in LittleBigPlanet and even Guitar Hero and Rock Band are getting into the spirit.

Full games line up in the shape of Hasbro Family Game Night for the PS3, and LocoRoco Midnight Carvnival, Crystal Defenders, Super Monkey Ball Adventure and Football Manager Handheld 2010 for the PSP.

Then we get all demo-tastic with two Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time demos, one featuring Ratchet and the other featuring, yes that’s right, Clank. Fat Princess, Trine, Zombie Apocalypse and Dragon Ball Raging Blast make up the rest of the PS3 demo list. For the PSP you can sample LocoRoco Midnight Carnival, PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe and Crystal Defenders.

Then (yes there’s more) you can get hold of downloadable content for EyePet, Cross Edge, Beatles: Rock Band, DJ Hero and Trivial Pursuit, finished off with a light smattering of trailers and themes.

Finally, for our German speaking friends you can get hold of all the additional Fallout 3 packs this week, and we’ve also added the English language version of the packs onto the Portuguese and Dutch stores too.

Now for a small announcement, this is advance warning about next week; we are only releasing a small update next week as we have some behind the scenes work (nothing exciting, but necessary) underway, so we’ll have minimal time to update the store – normal service will resume from the 12th however.

Okay, now for the fun stuff – get commenting!

The latest mini title is also added to the store, in the shape of Red Bull X Fighters.

For the PS3, the demo for NBA 2K10 is ready for you to try, as well as the first packs for EyePet (which is released in stores this week) so you can start customising your pet with some new content already. There are also free packs for Midnight Club Los Angeles and Cross Edge, and as usual more content for Rock Band and Guitar Hero.

We also have two new dynamic themes available this week, for the titles EyePet and Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time, and trailers for Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Dragon Age: Origins.

Following on from the post on the blog last week detailing the new PSN Cards, it made sense to us to compile some of our best loved content available on the PlayStation Store that may have passed you by – and being the kind, caring, and considerate person I am, I’m here to guide you through that content

I’m pleased to say that we now have over 130 games for your PS3 available via the store; and that number covers a wide range of genres, well known titles, smaller self published titles and a vast amount of protagonists to play as. From faceless blocks, to ships of differing guises blasting though waves of enemies, via ‘boy’ and his ability to eat everything around him (including his own tail), a Persian prince who has been given a new lick of paint, and soil living creatures with a crazy arsenal of weaponry, I think gaming on the PSN is looking like a veritable feast of goodness!

There are many great titles that deserve to be mentioned, but I don’t have the space to list them all (and you probably don’t have the patience to read them all) – so here’s a mere snippet, a taster if you will, of what you may have missed in previous updates.

For Your PS3

Battlefield 1943

War should definitely not be glorified, however, when a multiplayer game looks this good it’s hard not to resist getting online and jumping into the trenches and taking the fight to the enemy guns a blazing! With a range of weaponry and vehicles to fight with, this is a great opportunity to challenge your friends to some brutal online action (made less brutal by the fantastic scenery and ever shining sun) and claim some bragging rights.

Flower

Flower is just as much an experience as it is a game, by using the sixaxis motion controls you glide with the wind collecting flower petals as you go. Peaceful, relaxing, and sometimes chaotic, this game is a unique demonstration of beautiful graphics and freedom, where you can complete each levels aims, and find the mysteries, or you can simply explore and float around to your heart’s desire.

Burn Zombie Burn

Take control of Bruce and survive wave after wave of the zombie onslaught. The key to victory is linking massive combos, and utilising the various weapons scattered about the levels to ensure your success. Baseball bats, shotguns, lawnmowers and chainsaws are some of the tools for your victory, but there is also the use of fire to work with too! Fire makes the zombies faster and more dangerous, but also leads to better pickups and much higher scores; therefore, you need to manage the flaming zombies to master this quirky game.

Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Commander’s Challenge

For the RTS fans out there this game is a great choice – this standalone game from the Red Alert 3 world sets you 50 unique challenges to work through in order to lay claim to being a world class commander. It’s not often you’ll get to test you wits against Ric Flair (well actually he’s playing Commander Hill) so take the fight to him, and various other commanders, with a range of troops, including new ones such as the Giga Fortress, Desolator, and Cryo Legionnaire.

Trine

Take a thief, knight and magician, a magical trinket that binds them all together, and you’ll get the premise for Trine. Combine the talents of these three ‘heroes’, who all have different progressive skills, to discover hidden treasures, solve physics based puzzles, and battle various enemies. This is a stunning game which uses a physics based engine that ensures the game plays out with true physics based interactions, and it’s also a lot of fun to boot!

Others to try: Shatter, Outrun Online Arcade, PixelJunk Eden, Prince of Persia Classic, Ratchet & Clank: Quest For Booty, Worms.

As for the PSP, we have over 140 full games available at the moment on the store, and that number will be rising as we release more content each week, with more brand new releases coinciding with the retail release, as well as getting more legacy titles onto the store as the weeks roll by.

For Your PSP

PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe

The Forest Defender is back, only this time he’s portable. The game mechanic is the same, as the Forest Defender you need to save your offspring from the hordes of monsters; however this version brings with it new weapon towers, a new island, new music and a new mode. That’s not all, once you feel like you’ve mastered the single player modes, you can join a friend online and fight together in Co-op.

God of War Chains of Olympus

What needs to be said about our favourite god of war Kratos that hasn’t been said already? He’s the epitome of bad-ass, and you wouldn’t argue with him over the remote control that’s for sure, let alone trap Helios the sun god in the Underworld and risk the wrath of Kratos coming along to free him. Well that’s what has gone and happened, so join Kratos in this epic adventure and slay many a mythical beast in the process.

Patapon

Pon-pon-pata-pon. Seriously, once you’ve played this game for more than a few minutes, you won’t be able to get the rhythms out of your head. Control the Patapon tribe with the ‘sacred drums’ by keeping a steady beat and you’ll excel in battle. However, if you lose the beat, don’t expect your tribe to pay much attention anymore. This game is a true test of rhythm, but is also a very unique take on the strategy genre. Pata-pata-pon-pon.

Gran Turismo

Another title that really needs little by way of an introduction, you should know the drill by now; start with a low ranked car, drive some races, win some cash, get a better car and start entering more challenging races, until you rise to the very top of the circuit. With over 800 cars available, and 35 tracks to test your skills on, combined with the glossy sheen of the Gran Turismo franchise, this is a great racing game to take with you whilst on the move.

Buzz! Master Quiz

Build your mental muscles with this portable version of the quiz show Buzz! You can test your wits in the Solo Quiz Challenge, or host your own six player quizzes and play with your friends on the same console. With over 3000 questions, it’ll take some doing to find all the answers, and will also stop your family cheating by memorising all the answers off the back of the cards (Trivial Pursuit will never be the same again, thanks Dad!).

Others to try: Fate/Unlimited Codes, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Numblast, Sega Mega Drive Collection, WipEout Pulse.

Finally, as a sneak peek into tomorrow’s update, I can say that Ratchet & Clank will be joining you via the medium of a dynamic theme, and as an added bonus, you can check out the video below:

It’s impossible to do justice to every single title on the store at present in one blog post, and that’s where you all come in; what are your favourite titles available via the store? Discuss your favourites in the comments below, and let me know your thoughts.

You may have seen already that the WipEout HD Fury Complete Pack hit the store yesterday (to match the retail release), this pack combines the full game and recent Fury pack in one handy bundle and there is literally hours of gameplay here waiting for you. We’ll also have the full games Uno, Mushroom Wars and the strangeness that is .detuned ready for download later today.

We’ll also have a new quiz for Buzz!, so you can test your knowledge of all things spacey (that’s the thing above the sky, not the actor), a new pack and bundle for Lumines Supernova, and a few new bits and bobs for High Velocity Bowling. As usual there are also new tracks and packs for Rock Band and Guitar Hero too.

We’ve also got our next batch of dynamic themes available, so you can customise your XMB with animations from the worlds of PixelJunk Monsters, Pain and High Velocity Bowling.

Finally, from today until Monday morning you can download the first Map Pack for Call of Duty: World at War at a reduced price.

I’m sure most of you this week will be playing Uncharted 2 anyway won’t you? If not, I prescribe an immediate dose of Nathan Drake…well, what are you waiting for, off you go.

Until next week, take it easy.

It’s been pretty hectic here since last week’s store update (and Media Go store launch), but that’s not to say we haven’t been busy putting together more content for you this week. We should also be back to normal service regarding update times, but we’ll update the post once the stores are live (I believe Jem may even be planning to tweet you all once it’s live too).

I think we’ve carried on the PSP momentum fairly well this week, with a few more minis titles available; Sudoku, Mahjongg Tales, Yummy Yummy Cooking Jam, (and made those released last week available to some additional stores) another batch of PSP games such as Tomb Raider Legend, Daxter, Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman! and Prinny? Can I Really Be the Hero?, as well as NBA Live 10 releasing this Friday. We have also added some special offers to the PSP Store (and Media Go) and more information on these can be found in the content list below.

Our PS3 content also grows this week, with the addition of two games, Comet Crash and Digger HD, whilst we also finish off the Fallout 3 DLC with the final two packs Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta. There is also additional content this week for Red Faction: Guerilla, IL2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey, Topatoi, LittleBigPlanet, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 , Guitar Hero 5 and Rock Band.

Does any of that appeal to you? What are you going to be planning to download and play this week? What do you want to see coming to the store? Leave your feedback in the comments section and as usual I will respond to those questions that I can, or I’ll just leave some random responses (which will get more random as the day goes on) which won’t necessarily answer your questions, but may leave a smile upon your face.

Okay, that’s enough from me. Take it easy all.

Usually I list the PS3 specific content first, but seeing as this week we’re all excited about the PSP Go launch, the new Media Go store launching (replacing the PC based Media Manager application), and the first batch of minis titles hitting the store, the PSP content list will take the headlining slot today.

The minis range of titles launches with games such as Tetris, Fieldrunners, Pinball Fantasies and Hero of Sparta available (amongst others), and these bitesize games (all under 100MB) come in under the £4/€5 mark and offer a lot of value for their size!

We also have brand new PSP games released such as Gran Turismo, MotorStorm Arctic Edge, PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe, and Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny (with our favourite God of War Kratos featuring as a playable character) and also available from Friday morning we’ll have FIFA 10 and Beaterator.

The games for PSP don’t stop there though, with a host of legacy titles hitting the store featuring such titles as Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Midnight Club L.A. Remix and God of War: Chains of Olympus. For the full list of content scroll down a bit further and have a look at the delights in their entirety!

Also, for the added benefit of those of you new to the store, or are new to the PSP family, I have provided a full run-down of all the PSP games available via the store, there’s quite a hefty amount of title available for you.

For those of you looking for the PS3 content, we have TMNT: Turtles In Time Re-shelled available (trail and full game unlock) and a plethora of demos with Brütal Legend, Need For Speed: Shift, Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes, and Up The Video Game ready for you to play. Fallout 3 has two new packs in the form of The Pitt and Operation Anchorage, and we also have additional content packs for LittleBigPlanet, FIFA 10, NBA Live 10 and others.

If none of that vast offering fills you with joy, delights, or hours of fun, then I have to question if you really enjoy playing games…well, do you? J

Until next week, take it easy and have fun!

I know it’s a tough act to follow last week’s offering, but I think we’ve done a good job of carrying on the momentum – but I leave it to you to see what you think.

Heavy Weapon joins the PSN game list on the store, we have three demos for you this week, starting with Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, then a slice of Lost Planet 2 (with those extra bits to play for us PS3 owners) and if you didn’t check out The Punisher: No Mercy when it was released a while back, we also have a demo for that title now available too.

The standout bit of content this week for me (and that’s because I am a self-confessed fanboy) is the Broken Steel pack for Fallout 3, but we also have more challenges for Batman: Arkham Asylum, and extra content for UFC Unleashed 2009, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, Madden NFL 10, Rock Band and Guitar Hero. Speaking of Guitar Hero we also have some special offers on a selection of tracks for this week only, and there are more details on this in the content list below.

For our PSP users you can test your rallying skills with Colin McRae DiRT 2, play with your food in Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs as well as get additional content for Prinny, and Rock Band Unplugged.

Not too shabby this week eh? As usual, leave your thoughts in the comments section and I’ll do my best to respond to as many as possible.
