PSN Thursday: The Punisher will shock you to your Qore

by Jem Alexander { Jul 2nd 2009 at 5:00PM }

The American PSN update today isn't quite as interesting as the European one, but it's still got an okay amount of content. Punisher: No Mercy has been released, alongside the latest episode of Qore and the normal amount of DLC. PSP fans can choose from a selection of new games, including Capcom Classics Collection Remixed. There are also some more PS3 and PSP themes and some Rock Band Unplugged DLC.

European PSN releases for July 2

by Jem Alexander { Jul 2nd 2009 at 3:00PM }

Okay Sony, we forgive you for the last couple of weeks. Today's PSN update is chock full of content, with particular emphasis on downloadable games. Punisher and Topatoi are joined by James Pond 2 and Numblast, plus a demo for Red Baron. There's also the usual amount of DLC for those rhythm games you kids love so much, along with a new MotorStorm Pacific Rift expansion.

PSP owners can grab Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, a PSP version of Numblast and some other games, but if none take your fancy at least there's some new Rock Band Unplugged DLC.

European PSN releases for June 25

by Jem Alexander { Jun 25th 2009 at 12:40PM }

There's not a whole lot of new content this week, but better than last, at least. Another PopCap game makes its way across the Atlantic today, in the form of Zuma. There's also the delayed Summer Solstice LittleBigPlanet DLC alongside the Jon Burgerman sticker pack, and PSP fans can grab Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and some Rock Band Unplugged DLC. Finally, to celebrate the two-year anniversary of the release of Super Stardust HD, the price for the game has been dropped to just £1.59. Go get!

Oh, also -- Final Fantasy VII has been fixed and re-released in France. Just thought you might like to know.

PSN Thursday: MGS1 infiltrates the PSOne Classics' ranks

by Jem Alexander { Jun 18th 2009 at 5:32PM }

Similarly to the European PSN Store update, this week's content is a little lean.

But what's this? Solid Snake infiltrates the store in his original PS1 adventure, Metal Gear Solid. Yours for the premium PS1 price of $9.99. Sure you can probably find a cheaper copy in a bargain bin somewhere, but really you're paying for the ability to play this classic on your PSP. Anywhere. Other than that, there's a new episode of Qore and an NCAA Football 10 demo. PSP owners can grab GRAW 2 and some themes, too.

European PSN releases for June 18

by Andrew Yoon { Jun 18th 2009 at 12:00PM }

After the nonsense known as "E3," it looks like things have slowed down quite considerably. Other than some DLC, there really isn't much to check out this week. In fact, PSP owners don't have anything to look at.

PSN Thursday: There's a DLC party and you're invited

by Jem Alexander { Jun 11th 2009 at 6:30PM }

So VidZone doesn't work in the US -- we checked -- but American PSN users will be able to feast on some content that Europeans didn't get hold on, as payback. In particular, PopCap's Heavy Weapon, the release of Bomberman ULTRA and another new PS1 game, Medal of Honor Underground. Of course, there's also the same amount of crazy DLC for Killzone 2, Burnout Paradise, LittleBigPlanet and World At War. PSP fans can also pick up a digital copy of Hot Shots Open Tee 2.

PSN Friday: E3 lag edition

by Jem Alexander { Jun 5th 2009 at 6:45PM }

What's that you say? It's Friday? Yeah, we've been a bit busy with E3, hence the release of the PSN update post a day late. Plus, it took us forever and a day to type up the ridiculous amount of content that's been dropped, including over twenty videos, three PS1 games, two full PSN games and two demos. Not to mention the usual DLC. Enjoy!

European PSN releases for June 4

by Jem Alexander { Jun 4th 2009 at 5:30PM }

Ready for a deluge of E3 trailers? The European PSN update this week contains over forty videos -- though it's sadly lacking Uncharted 2 -- as well as a Fight Night Round 4 demo, Trash Panic and the PS1 game you've been waiting for, Final Fantasy VII. So sit back, relax and enjoy what must be approaching an hour of game trailers from E3.

PSN Thursday: Ready to buy Resident Evil again?

by Jem Alexander { May 28th 2009 at 11:25PM }

The original Resident Evil is the highlight of the week for the American PSN store but, as usual, it's joined by a whole host of other content, too. As reported, a Crash Commando demo is now available and the 2000AD LittleBigPlanet DLC packs are also ready to be downloaded. PSP fans have two demos to choose from, in addition to the grandaddy of the Survival Horror genre. Europeans will have to settle for Silent Hill instead but who knows, maybe some of you would prefer that.

European PSN update for May 28

by Jem Alexander { May 28th 2009 at 11:20AM }

Bumper week of content for European PSN Store fans this week. Two full games are now available, in the form of Cellfactor and Inferno Pool, as well as two demos -- one of which is for Crash Commando, which is due to receive a patch and DLC in the near future. There's also a massive amount of DLC for all your favourite games, as per usual. PSP owners have demos of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and Rock Band Unplugged to enjoy, too.

PAL undergoing Monster Hunter Freedom Unite trials this Thursday

by David Hinkle { May 25th 2009 at 1:30PM }

Hey, fellow hunters in the PAL territory! Know that a demo of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite will be available to test your skills later this week. Capcom has a lot of high hopes for the franchise, and has taken great care in introducing the game to the West. With a demo hitting Europe on May 28, you'll finally get to see what all of the fuss is about. The demo landed on our shores Thursday, and we'd tell you all about it, but then that would ruin the surprise.

PSN Thursday: Monsters invade the PS3 and PSP

by Jem Alexander { May 21st 2009 at 6:45PM }

There's plenty of content for you to grab from the US store today, including four demos, two PS1 games and the usual lot of DLC. inFamous and the LittleBigPlanet Monsters pack should probably be at the top of your shopping list this week. If you're a PSP fan, you can take advantage of the just-released Monster Hunter Freedom Unite demo, too.

European PSN releases for May 21

by Jem Alexander { May 21st 2009 at 1:15PM }

It's true, we liked inFamous quite a lot, but you don't have to take our word for it -- you can go ahead and grab the demo off the European PlayStation store right now. If that doesn't tickle your fancy, there are four other demos for you to try out instead. No wonder this update took so long to arrive! There's also a PS1 game in the form of Creatures 3, a full PSP game and, as usual, a boat-load of DLC including the fairly large LittleBigPlanet Monsters pack.
