On this fine winter’s week (maybe not for all of you!) we bring to you a smattering of more gaming goodness. Shank 2 comes to the store courtesy of EA. Returning with its comic book aesthetics and side-scrolling brawler gameplay, Shank is back! In fact, IGN have reported it as “One of the best action games in recent memory”!

Malicious also sees an English release on the store. Take control of the Spirit Vessel and battle waves of brutal fighters and colossal enemies to rid the world of the evil force of Malicious. Gain new weapons, build your powers and perform devastating combo attacks as the final showdown between good and evil draws near. PS Plus members will benefit from a 20% reduced cost.

The Simpsons Arcade Game sees release on the store today, too. We know you guys were expecting to see this last week and apologise for the inconvenience however, now you can enjoy it in all its glory. As was also announced, Plus members will receive this as part of this month’s membership. Enjoy!

We also have Mortal Kombat (2011), Top Spin 4 and Mafia II all heading to the digital fun land that is the PlayStation Store. Catherine will also be available on the store from February 10th, in line with the retail release, so keep a look out for that!

For DLC we have more Rock Band tunes, more Dynasty Warriors and the Lightning DLC for Final Fantasy XIII-2. There’s even some Valentine’s Day themed DLC for LittleBigPlanet and Motorstorm. Isn’t that romantic!

Unfortunately there aren’t any avatars this week but hopefully there’ll be some for you avatar lovers next week.

The PSP Power Sale continues this week, with more additions including but not limited to; Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Worms: Battle Island and the first Persona game…called Persona, believe it or not. Check out the rest of what’s on offer below.

As usual, the complete list of games, DLC and offers follows below.

Have a jolly ol’ time gaming and I shall return next week!

Peace!

FAQ

1. Has Arc the Lad (PSOne Classics) been released in Norway yet?
A. Yes! Apologies to Norwegian customers who had to wait a little extra for this.

2. Are we getting Machinarium?
A. Yes. We don’t have a date to announce right now but this is on the horizon.

3. How about Auditorium HD?
A. This is also on the horizon but no date to speak of right now. Sorry.

4. Where on Earth is Worms: Ultimate Mayhem?
A. This has been announced for February 15th. Please look forward to it.

5. What about Dungeon Defenders DLC?
A. Some content is coming very soon! Next week is very likely.

6. How about Dynasty Warriors avatars?
A. Avatars are not the quickest content we release so these won’t be out for a long, long time. If we have further information about this we will let you guys know.

7. OMG! Where’s Scary Girl?
A. OMG! Coming next week!

8. And House of the Dead III?
A. Next week is the plan! But remember, things can change unexpectedly…

9. Why are there differences in avatars from the US compared to the EU region?
A. The images used are up to the publisher. As the EU includes a wide range of countries, different rules also need to be adhered to so not everything will be like for like.

This week we have not one but three ‘Blu-ray Disc to Digital’ titles – Mini Ninjas, Kane & Lynch: Dead Men and Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days.

European users can also join in on the Gotham City Imposters beta. Will you be one of the Batmen or will you side with The Joker team? Whatever you chose, expect some crazy FPS action with an even crazier amount of customisation options. Go crazy, imposters!

This week also sees the release of the new Twisted Metal Beta. Cars? Check. Weapons? Check. Big maps? Check. Combine all that together? Chaotic fun is what you’ll receive. Have a taster of what the new game will offer including 8 playable vehicles with a host of modes – Single player training, single player challenge mode, multiplayer online deathmatch and multiplayer online nuke mode.

The last big demo of the week goes to Syndicate. Syndicate is a re-imagination of the classic 1993 game – a cyber punk FPS set in a dystopian world where large Syndicates rule and Business is War. In the 4-player co-op demo, team-up to take down rival Syndicate Cayman Global as you battle for market dominance and your life.

On the Avatar front I’m also pleased to be able to say the Metal Gear Solid avatars have arrived! The range is based on MGS2, 3 and Peace Walker, coinciding with the HD Collection release this week. Many of you clamoured for them and now they’re here. Enjoy!

Lastly, this week sees the start of the PSP Power Sale, lasting until the end of the month. Full details of content are further below.

Have a great week guys, as I’m sure you will with some big games due out, and I shall be sure to read your comments!

FAQ

1.    Where is the Gotham City Imposters Beta?
A.    On the store today. Enjoy!

2.    Are we getting anymore avatars soon e.g. for MGS, Resident Evil etc?
A.    We are working with the publishers to get some more out to you. A batch of MGS avatars land today!

And so by popular demand, we update at the beginning of the month and bring you one of the best months yet for PlayStation Plus.

First of all, we have a brand new PSN title for you at no extra cost, The Simpsons Arcade. The year – 1991. Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to chase down the nefarious Smithers, who has kidnapped Maggie! Play as either Homer, Bart, Marge or Lisa and track him down before it’s “too late”, (too late for what I’m not entirely sure…) and save the day! The Simpsons Arcade will be available until the 29th February, so make sure you grab it in the first 4 weeks of this refresh.

More freebies too in the shape of Hungry Giraffe, the latest mini from our friends at Laughing Jackal and the iPhone hit, Farm Frenzy. Oh and a little something from Square-Enix in the shape of Final Fantasy V, as we have previously mentioned.

We also have a series of discounts that will be coming and going this month so I want you all to pay attention to the Store updates – we’ve got a discount this week on Rayman: Origins, next week we’ll be giving you a great deal on Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment for all you RPG fans and later in the month you’ll be getting half-off on each of the Splinter Cell HD titles (perfect for filling the gaps if you didn’t get yourself the trilogy). Sonic Adventure, Sonic’s first proper 3D outing is also available at 50% off this month for Plus subscribers and if you’ve already got it or are thinking of picking it up, you’ll be pleased to know that the DX Upgrade that makes Sonic Adventure all the more adventurous is available to you all at no cost. More from SEGA as we have a sizeable discount on the new PSN release of House of the Dead 3, complete with a new resolution and Move support.

I can also let you know that we’ll be adding a few more title trials to your library, as well as launching a category in Plus where you can get access to all the Dynamic themes we’ve released exclusively for you guys.

And of course, it’s Valentine’s Day on the 14th! Here at PlayStation Plus to show that we love* you, from the 15th February until the 22nd February, Far Cry 2, the open-world FPS/regime change-based malaria simulator, is included as part of your subscription – so grab it while you can before it’s gone!

That’s it – keep an eye out for a few extra surprise discounts and bits and pieces, as ever.

*Disclaimer: PlayStation Plus is an abstract concept and does not actually love you. It just thinks of you as a good friend.

Hello again, happy people!

This is a fairly quiet week in terms of new games but hopefully some of you will snap up a new batch of avatars ranging from Assassin’s Creed to King of Fighters (oh-Mai-oh-Mai!) We have Duke Nukem Forever as one of our main disc-to-digital titles this week. Step into the shoes of Duke Nukem, the pumped up one-man army who never fails and always gets the ladies.

We also have Rock Band DLC featuring tracks from Hall & Oates, Devin Townsend and more. I’m sure some of you will be rocking out to these until the next batch of DLC. The full list of additions follows below this great wall of text!

This week also concludes the January sale with a special set of games being reduced by up to 50%! To celebrate the upcoming release of Final Fantasy XIII-2 a nice selection of Final Fantasy titles have been slashed! For the complete list please see the Special Offers section. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out the demo of FFXIII-2 available on the store right now!

But wait! If you’re a PS Plus member you can enjoy Final Fantasy Vas part of your subscription from February 8th when the Plus content refreshes – so if you have your eye on FFV and you’re a Plus member, it’ll pay to be patient.

I hope you all take advantage of this sale and enjoy what are some of gaming’s finest. With that said I bid you all a farewell until next week! Happy gaming!

Perhaps you want an FF game with its first female lead (and one of my favourites!)? Go with FFVI. Or maybe you’d like to start with the first 3D FF that is Final Fantasy VII. Whatever you chose you’re bound to have some of gaming’s finest moments, made even finer at a reduced price. Feel free to recommend your favourites in the comments below!

FAQ

1. Where is Andy?!
A. He’s still alive. Still on the PSN Team. It’s not that easy to get rid of him, you know.

2. Where’s Choplifter HD?
A. Hopefully this will be out at some time in February.

3. We’re still waiting on Trine 2 – where is it?!
A. This will also hopefully see a February release.

4. Why is Arc the Lad not available for Norway?
A. This is currently being looked at and should be sorted very soon.

Hello everyone! I am delighted to be welcomed on board the team and I hope this can only mean an even better service for you, our customers. Without me rambling too long, let’s get on with this week’s updates.

To kick things off, Arc the Lad (yes, Arc the Lad!) is now on the store for everyone to enjoy, and if you’re a PlayStation Plus member it’ll be free for a whole month. For PS3 we have Splinter Cell Double Agent. You take on the role of Sam Fisher. In order to stop an attack on American soil, you must infiltrate and destroy a vicious terrorist group. As a double agent you decide what you want to do – which side do you fight for?

Uncharted fans will be happy to know we have the Flashback Map Pack released this week. This was part of the Fortune Hunter Club and is now available to non-members. The pack includes the following multiplayer maps – Sanctuary, Fort, Cave and Lost City. Be sure to pick this up!

We also have DLC including more costume packs for Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. Dress Chun-Li in her Alpha costume (part of the Femme Fatale pack) or Sentinel in his classic rendition (part of the New Age of Heroes pack).

And because Chinese New Year is also upon us, there’s a free costume to obtain for LittleBigPlanet 2 to celebrate. Oh, and this is available for only one week so hurry, hurry, hurry!

To continue with what was started last week, we’ve also got the FAQ at the end of this post for some of last week’s major questions. If we didn’t answer this week then hopefully it’ll be next week, but do keep asking!

If there isn’t anything taking your fancy then hopefully next week will. Look forward to it! Until then, happy gaming!

PlayStation Store (via PS3, PSP and Media Go)

Greetings! Another week brings another content update to the PlayStationStore!

To start with, we have AMY from Lexis Numerique – a survival horror game not for the faint of heart.

If you’re too frightened then there’s Zack Zero, a 3D platform action title from Crocodile.

Demo wise we have Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Asura’s Wrath to play around with – two games I am greatly looking forward to!

This week also brings more content for titles ranging from Battlefield 3 (pew pew pew!) to EyePet (pet pet pet?)

Finally, at the bottom of this post you will find answers to some of the most frequent questions in the comments from last week’s post. We’re taking this approach because, while we would love to answer everyone and everything instantly, sometimes giving an accurate answer requires further research, legal clearance or approval from one of our third-party partners. We will still get involved in the comments and endeavour to respond as much as we can; if you’re query isn’t answered right away then rest assured that we do read them and hopefully it will be addressed in the following week’s FAQ.

PlayStation Plus Discount

For PLUS this week we have a 20% discount on Darksiders. Additionally, PS Plus members also save extra on some of the special offers we’ll be announcing here later today.

FAQ

Q. “I bought the Fortune Hunter’s Club membership, and I thankfully received three skin packs along with bonus Killzone merchandise. One problem I have though is that you cannot see the Doughnut Lazarevic skin once you buy it. I found it by ‘searching’ the store, but others might not think of that. Could you ask the store people to fix this little problem?”
A. This has now been fixed. Do let us know of other issues and we will try and work on solutions as quick as possible.

Q. Magic: The Gathering – Issue with DLC packs
A. This issue is being looked into and a solution is currently being worked on. We have been told this should be coming very soon. Fingers crossed!

Q. When will the MGS and UMvC3 avatars come out?
A. MGS avatars are currently being submitted so we should hopefully see these shortly. As for UMvC there are prolonging issues with these and are still being investigated.

Q. minis Pick and Mix issue.
A. If you are unable to download your Minimix bundle to your PSP, please contact PlayStation Support.

Hello fellow gamers and welcome to another edition of the PSN Store ‘Heads-Up’ blog post.

Welcome to 2012, this year looks like it is going to be a big one for us at Sony with the launch of PSVita on 22nd February as well as some new (and old) games and content you have been requesting.

However sadly this week don’t have loads coming to the store this week (which after Christmas and the Festive Sale might be a slight relief for your wallets) but what we do have I think will put a smile on your faces.

First off we have All Zombies Must Die, a must have for all you twin-stick shooter, zombie mayhem fans. We also have the PSone classic Wild Arms available from today and the Batman Arkham City – Challenge Map Pack to further test your cap crusading skills.

And just to finish off, I don’t usually highlight avatars but the Warlords avatars we have coming to the store today I think look really cool, so check them out.

So that’s it for another week from me, see you in the comments, BYE!!

P.S. DISCLAIMER – Any comments I feel are disrespectful I will ignore, so please be polite.

Special Offer Selection

The Festive Sale is still going until the 11th January 2012. So jump onto the store today to check out what we have got on offer.

Marty McFly and Doc Brown return in a completely new Back to the Future adventure. Six months after the events of the third film, the DeLorean Time Machine mysteriously returns to Hill Valley – driverless! Marty must go back in time and get aid from a resistant teenage Emmett Brown, or else the space time continuum will forever be unraveled!

And to kick-start the year there’s an extra free game for you all courtesy of Ubisoft in the shape of Voodoo Dice. Roll the dice in a mystical world filled with exploration, puzzle-solving, and adventure. Voodoo Dice is an innovative, challenging puzzler that plays with your mind as you solve puzzles in unique and interesting ways. With 60 single player levels and multiplayer for up to 4 players it should help keep your mind of those New Year’s resolutions that you’ve selectively forgotten to keep up!

Add to that two new Plus themes, of course, including a rather swanky cuckoo clock, two brand new minis which are both exclusive to Plus for the next couple of weeks, Rally Cross on PSone and to celebrate the 50% off of Festival of Blood promotion running until 11^th January, a couple of free inFamous 2 avatars – Good Cole and Zeke.

And the discounts this month start with After Burner Climax at 75% off this week and starting next week, more to come throughout the month, including a buy-one-get-one-free offer from Capcom, additional discounts for Plus members on an upcoming EA sale with some huge savings, 75% off a SEGA Dreamcast classic and a day-one discount for a brand new PSN title to hint at a few. Keep an eye on the weekly PlayStation Store updates for more information.

Enjoy your content guys, I’m out this week but feel free to leave your comments – Andy will be looking them over to help with any pressing issues and I’ll be back on Monday to provide some more feedback.

Once again, a very Happy New Year from PlayStationPlus.

Hello fellow gamers and welcome to another edition of the PSN Store ‘Heads-Up’ blog post.

It’s my favourite time of the year, it’s CHRISTMAS!!…. almost. Where we have time to spend with our loved ones and celebrate goodwill to all. Or if you’re anything like me, you get a lot more free time to play some games and earn some trophies. So to help with festive boredom we have some awesome games for you this week.

First off I should mention that we had a late submission and now Jurassic Park: The game is available from the store if you have not seen it there already. We also have the highly requested Dungeon Defenders where you and four friends can try and stop the horde of enemies taking over the dungeons.

I am also excited to see that Oddworlds: Stranger’s Wrath HD in on the store today; this is one not to miss. As well as the HD remakes of ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, two of my favourite games from back in the day.

And to ‘wrap up’ (see what I did there?) we have The King of Fighters XIII demo available on the store today.

So that’s it for another week and for 2011. All that is left to say is have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year on and all. Hopefully will see some of you online.

BYE!!!

As promised some time ago, I’m here to let you know that there’s a limited time subscription bundle that will not only get you one year of PlayStation Plus, but also includes a free download of Jurassic Park: The Game – Full Series (Episodes 1-4), the new PSN adventure from the masters of episodic gaming: Telltale Games. This is a great chance to get in on all those games you receive as part of your subscription, great discounts on new and classic titles, and access to exclusive features and game content.

Jurassic Park: The Game releases mid-December on PSN in SCEE territories. Launching in four separate episodes, or available as one bundle, this journey brings you dangerously close to the prehistoric inhabitants of Isla Nublar while exploring stories of mankind visiting some of nature’s most powerful and fearsome creatures. The result is an unforgettable journey that manages to capture the spirit of what made the films so special.

Due to the delay in the launch of this title in SCEE we’ve taken it upon ourselves to reward our newest subscribers retroactively as an early Christmas gift.

Anyone who has purchased a one-year subscription to PlayStation Plus since the 23rd November 2011, congratulations to you because you’re now eligible to receive a free download of Jurassic Park: The Game – Full Series (Episodes 1-4), worth €19.99, when it releases on PSN in SCEE. Existing subscribers can also purchase a one-year subscription to Plus, which will stack upon your existing subscription. You’ll be guaranteed access to all the benefits of PlayStation Plus, and get an amazing game that’s yours to keep even after your subscription expires.

And more good news – if you haven’t purchased yet, there’s still some time. You have until midnight 00:00 GMT on December 12th (to clarify, this means as December 11th becomes December 12th) to grab a 12-month subscription and take us up on the offer.

Eligible subscribers will receive an email with a voucher code to your registered PSN email address once the game has released, so make sure communications from us are not hitting your spam folders and make sure your registered email addresses are active.

And if you’re fully stocked up with Plus and don’t feel like taking up this particular offer, all Plus subscribers can purchase Jurassic Park for 25% off during its first week of release, at a cost of €14.99 and equivalents.

A note for our Australia and New Zealand consumers – the game will not be releasing in your territories alongside the main store release as Telltale Games are still working on organising the age ratings in your markets. You can still take part in this promotion, as once the game is released in your territory we’ll send your voucher code, and those who don’t take part in this offer will have the opportunity to pick the game up at 25% off for the first week as with all other territories.

See you later guys and enjoy your free game!

Hello fellow gamers and welcome to another edition of the PSN Store ‘Heads-Up’ blog post.

Apologies for my absence last week; the evil bacteria overpowered me but I have fought back and now I am able to function like a normal human being… well maybe not normal… anyway on with the show!

This week we are bursting with full PSN games for you to enjoy including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Dragon Age 2, Just Cause 2, The Sly Trilogy, Mortal Kombat Arkade Kollection (yes it is finally here!) and much, much more. So check them out today.

We also have a couple of new PSP games for you. For the apprentice wizards in we have LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5 to 7 and for the detectives in training there is The Mystery Team, both available from PlayStation Store today.

Now for downloadable content (dlc) the big one that is out this week is Battlefield 3 – Back to Karkand pack. This pack includes 4 maps from Battlefield 2, Strike of Karkand, Gulf of Oman, Sharqi Peninsula and Wake Island. We also have Resistance 3 - Brutality Pack and the long awaited Pink Knight for Castle Crashers.

So that’s it for another week from me, hope you like it!

December comes to end the year and a PlayStation Plus content refresh is in order. This update will take place on Wednesday, 7th December and you’ll have the opportunity to grab all the current content until then.

This month we have Tomb Raider: Underworld as our main title included with your subscription. In an ancient ruin on the floor of the Mediterranean Sea, Lara Croft uncovers proof of the Norse underworld and Thor’s mythical hammer. As she attempts to unravel the secrets behind these myths, Lara’s perilous journey leads her toward a forgotten power that, if unleashed, could lay waste to all civilization. Serious business, no?

Anyway, while you’re raiding tombs in a low-cut top, make sure you also check out your other offers this month, including Cool Boarders for PSone, and your requisite minis. From the 14th December you’ll also be able to grab a copy of Marvel Pinball from Zen Studios at no extra cost. If flippers are your thing and you like the game, we’ve also secured 50% off the first two DLC packs for you too.

Speaking of DLC – the Deadline DLC Pack for Split/Second: Velocity is included at no extra cost in your Plus subscription this month. Just in case you don’t already own the criminally underrated Split/Second, we’ve also got 50% off the digital version available from the Store throughout December.

Alongside the other bits and pieces this month, we’ve also got a Goldeneye 007: Reloaded demo for you a week before it hits the rest of the Store on the 14th, so enjoy your early playtest of Bond’s latest PS3 outing.

Finally, from this week we’re implementing a new category in Plus which brings us in line with SCEA – we’ll be offering a selection of Full Game Title trials, starting with around 20 titles available on the Store which we’ll expand as time goes on. As usual, you’ll have an hour to try out each title and then you’ll have the option to unlock the full game if you want to keep playing.

That’s all for now, you might find a few extra bits and pieces come to light throughout the month – don’t forget that if you’re a new subscriber to take advantage of the ’12 Gifts of Christmas’ with a new title from the Plus back catalogue available every 48 hours. What’s more, keep an eye on the main Store’s ’12 Deals of Christmas’ promotion, with additional discounts available for Plus members throughout the month.

Bye for now!

Hello all, and welcome to a very special PlayStation Plus update.

You may have already seen Andy’s recent ’12 Deals of Christmas’ update where we’ll be offering you a great deal every two days on the PlayStation Store, in most cases with an additional discount for our loyal Plus subscribers. But that’s not all!

Starting today, PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to download one title from PlayStation Store at no extra cost, every two days – this will include 8 PSN titles, two minis and two PSone Classics, which will all be yours as long as you’re a subscriber. These 12 titles have all been available in Plus before over the last 18 months, and so are perfect for new subscribers or those who have joined recently. If you want to discover which games you can grab without having to pay a penny, you’ll have to head over to PlayStation Store and check them out, but we’ll be updating this post with information on each title – just be sure to download them before they’re gone.

Our first gift title is SEGA’s classic, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 which will be available to download at no cost for Plus subscribers until 3rd December, when a new title will be available.

Remember, all these are added extras to this month’s content – as a PlayStation Plus subscriber you can still expect the same level of great content during December 2011, as well as enjoying this superb offer, which is perfect for filling gaps in your collection if you’re a late-comer to Plus, or even better if you’ve never been a subscriber before.

The sooner you become a member, the more time you’ll have to download extra games, so don’t waste a moment – subscribe to PlayStation Plus now and grab your 12 Gifts of Christmas.
Thanks guys – I wish you all a very happy festive period!

Apologies again for the lateness – blame bacteria.

Hello fellow gamers and welcome to another edition of the PSN Store ‘Heads-Up’ blog post. So let’s see what we have for you this week.

With the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 we bring you Call of Duty ELITE, this is a new subscription base service that give you lots of great content for MW3 and access to MW3 TV as well as many other benefits, this is a must have for all you MW3 fans (more details are listed below in the subscriptions section.)

We also have Premier Manager 2012 for all of you. Take control of your favourite team from a selection of top European leagues and overcome the managerial challenges that face you to achieve success. There is also an introductory offer for the next 2 weeks of £9.99/€12.99 (standard RRP is £13.99/€17.99.) So don’t miss out.

Don’t forget that Hydrophobia Prophecy (which has been completely revamped for the PSN and also has PS Move support!) Is only on offer for one more week but if you are a PLUS member this will be free for you until the 7th December.

And finally we have the PSone classic Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain coming to the store today. You play the vampire Kain, damned to feast upon the blood of man. Steel yourself for an epic quest of vengeance that will drag you to the depths of depravity.

So that’s it for another week, hope you enjoy it!

Payday: The Heist voucher codes update

We know that some of you have not received your voucher codes for the PSN Play promotion for your access to get Payday: The Heist. Our email team have been working very hard to get these sent out and we will be resending codes to all effected consumers today so keep an eye out and also do check your spam folders just in case, we do apologies for this delay.

As the old saying goes, ‘the early bird catches the worm’. However birds and other predators might think twice about taking on Team17′s Worms, with their arsenal of crazy weapons from the classic rocket launcher and super sheep to the legendary Holy Hand Grenade.

With the recent release of Worms Crazy Golf I thought this is the perfect opportunity to have a Worms Sale for you all, so for one week only all Worms related content is on sale (excluding Worms Crazy Golf). So swoop onto the store today and gobble up some of these great Worms offers.
