Hey guys, sorry we’re a bit late to market this week with our content update, but hopefully you’ll feel as though it’s worth waiting for and very much in keeping with the quality you’ve come to expect this year. It’s always a good feeling to give away content in a single month that more than covers the cost of the annual subscription.

So by now, if you’ve headed over to the SCEA update you will see they’re getting Shift 2: Unleashed and Shank 2 in their update this month, courtesy of the lovely folks at EA. Here, it’s no different, as EA’s 145 car, 36 track monster of a racing title is now yours at no cost, alongside the ultra-violent and ultra-awesome grindhouse 2D platform-brawler.

Don’t forget there are a huge number of additional cars and a couple of extremely useful time-saver packs available for Shift 2: Unleashed, all available from the PlayStation Store.

The PS one Classic this month is Silent Hill, which I’m sure you’ll agree is a proper classic title – never before has radio static been so terrifying. Unfortunately you’ll have to wait just one more short week until it’s available (sorry!) but it will be available into the start of May’s publish to make up for the lost week.

This week we have two brand-new minis for your entertainment, ‘Floating Cloud God Saves the Pilgrims’, in which you’ll float and shoot your way through seven beautifully drawn worlds to save your followers and ‘Golf Mania’, offering 90 holes of single and multiplayer golfing challenges from traditional courses to gravity defying glass towers.

I Am Alive comes to PS3 with a 20% discount for all you faithful Plus users, and Wheels of Destruction will also be available at a discount for the two weeks after launch.

New themes, lots of avatars which include a set of exclusive avatars developed by SCEA and an avatar pack from the PS VITA favourite, Escape Plan for you guys too.

Later in the month we give you the chance to blast some more zombies with a launch discount on SEGA’s House of the Dead 4 (with additional freebies) and we bring a bit of culture and refinement to Plus with a launch discount on the absolutely gorgeous (and inexpensive) Pure Chess – we’re even throwing in a free piece of DLC for the game that has been described as ‘the Gran Turismo of chess’. How about that?

Alright, enjoy your racing and/or revenge killings. See you in the comments. (more…)

Welcome, welcome! What a bright, sunny week it’s been in the UK. I hope some of you have been making the most of it.

Another somewhat quiet week (now, now, this is an excuse to catch some sun) but I’m sure there’s some new additions to hold the interest of a few of you. The big retail release this week also seeing a release on the Store (on Friday) goes to EA with their release of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2013.

A few additions to the Neo Geo range have been added, including The King of Fighters ’96, which I know from previous weeks has been asked about quite often.

Oh, I almost missed Arc the Lad II. Given the hype surrounding the first title I’m only certain a lot of gamers were itching for the next game. Well, here it is!

Battlefield 3 DLC has dropped. Yesterday, in fact! The new DLC allows those with a little less time to unlock some of the bonuses the easy way.

I should also mention Modern Warfare 3 Elite Drop 3 will happen tomorrow so keep an eye out for that if you are an Elite member.

Other notable DLC that you may care for is an extra episode for that there crazy game Asura’s Wrath. This is an extra episode with a more traditional animé look and the same level of madness.

Don’t forget to check out the Spring Sale to see what kind of savings are to be had, and also, Ross will have a PlayStation Plus post up shortly, too.

And that’s it for this week.

Until we meet again…

Welcome to this week’s PlayStation Store update.

For PlayStation 3 This week will see Assassin’s Creed Revelations’ release on the store (on Friday). Until Monday the 26th, you’ll be able to get it at a discounted rate, so grab it before it sneaks back to full price.

If you haven’t had your chance to start at the beginning of the series (like me!) then the Assassin’s Creed Double Edition bundle will serve you well. The bundle will give you the first two games, letting you experience the series where it all began.

Also, after a bit of a wait we now have some Resident Evil avatars that y’all can snap up. There is a selection of characters from both Resident Evil 4 and Code Veronica to choose from.

So, that’s it for today. Short and sweet!

’til next time…
