'Heads-Up' Game Store Update 5th January 2011

Hey everyone, welcome to the first ‘Heads-Up’date of 2011. I hope you all had a better Christmas than I did, as my main Christmas present this year was swine flu. I’ll be trying extra hard with the comments this week to make up for my yuletide absence though.

This week we’ve got a relatively small update for our first week back but with plenty to keep you interested.

There’s a new batch of Specials, including either flavour of fiendishly competitive card game UNO (PS3 or PSP) for only 99 Euro cents. Who can say no to that? Also of note, Legends of War: Patton’s Campaign, the very well received strategy PSP title released in the last part of 2010 has been permanently reduced by 33% – I urge you all to check out the reviews online and give it a try.

2K get in on the digital BD action with Borderlands hitting the Store this week and Ubisoft bring us the much anticipated Assassin’s Creed: Ascendance.
More Trinity Universe DLC and absolutely tons of Rock Band tracks (including a substantial free track pack) round off our add-ons.

If anyone is still pondering whether to grab Kung-Fu LIVE, Virtual Air Guitar have answered the call and supplied you with a demo to see if you’ve got what it takes to become a Kung-Fu master.

The PSP NEOGEO Station gets a few more of the missing titles, including the brilliant Samurai Shodown, we’ve got two new minis and there’s some DLC for Prinny 2 as well.

A quick word about Tales of Monkey Island from the Festive Offers – you may have seen (or indeed been part of) a snafu in our entitlement system that meant when you purchased Tales of Monkey Island you were only provided with the first chapter of five.

This has now been fixed so anyone purchasing the season from now on will be provided with all five episodes.

Anyone who has already purchased the package while it was only providing one episode will have their purchase refunded to their wallet in the next few days. Once you’ve been refunded you will be able to re-purchase the game again and will receive all episodes.

As a result, we’ve extended the offer on Tales of Monkey Island for one additional week, until the 12th January in case you were holding off buying because of the issue, or if you were only provided one episode.

We’re really sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused any of you.

That’s all for this week, back again on the 12th with more goodies for you. Bye for now.
