‘Heads-Up’ Game Store Update 17th August 2011

PlayStation Store (via PS3, PSP and Media Go)

Hi everyone, welcome to the gamescom 2011 Store update. I’m at the show this week so to avoid leaving you all without a host, I place you all into the capable hands of Andy Stewart.

The star of the update this week is of course a large selection of gamescom related videos for all the hotly anticipated titles being shown – you’ll find those in their own section as usual.

For downloadable titles this week, several retail games get the digital download treatment, including Dead Space and Far Cry – but if you’re into fast-paced little numbers, you’re going to adore Cubixx HD – arcade puzzle action, where the simple goal is to cut away enough of the cube to move to the next level. This title supports split-screen local multiplayer, has loads of different game modes and looks simply fantastic – if you’re a fan of the genre you should definitely give it a go and even if you’re not I urge you to try the demo. Plus users get 20% off the asking price too, along with a free theme to download.

There’s a also a few more minis this week, including a Fighting Fantasy adventure, a selection of DLC for LBP2, InFamous 2 and more, and a selection of themes.

Speaking of themes there are a few points to bring to your attention this week – there are a couple of changes to the store front to try and make your lives easier. Firstly, the merchandising team have been hard at work recategorising the themes section to help you find the themes you’re looking for more easily – let us know if you think any obvious categories are missing.

Also, as part of our on-going store improvements, the store iconography has been updated across the board – let us know your favourites!

That’s it from me, I’ll hand you over to Andy. Bye for now.

Disney Special Offer Selection – available until 24th August
