Theme lovers will enjoy today's American PC Store update as there are now three more to add to your collection. Not only that, but (perhaps more importantly) a demo for the recently-goldenSecret Agent Clank has been made available. While it probably won't tide you over until the game's release in June, it will give you a taste of this Summer's hottest PSP release. Here's the full release list:
Today's PC Store update is a laughable joke compared to the glorious one being given over on the PS3 side of things. It's almost as if the PC Store was forgotten this week with nothing to show but a slapdashed demo of a game from 2006. Here's the list single item:
Happy echochrome day! Seventy-five percent of today's new content is related to the mindbending puzzle game. Sure, that sounds a lot - until you realise there are only four new items available for purchase on the store. Don't forget, echochrome on the PSP is a different game from the PS3 version and is exclusively available in America from the PlayStation Store. Here's the full release list:
Finally Ape Quest sees its European release today, just one day shy of its "April" schedule, as the PC Store is updated once again. Other than that, there's not a lot to see here. Check out our review of Ape Quest if you're still on the fence regarding whether to buy it or not. Or, you could just play the free starter pack and see what you think. Here's the full release list:
Check out this list of content. This is definitely the largest PC Store update so far and for that we should be thankful. Three full games and a demo, not to mention a decent pack of trailers. We hope to see many more updates like this in the future. Here's the full release list:
As if to make up for the lack of a PC-Store update last week SCEE have released a nice amount of content this week, particularly for retro fans. flOw for PSP finally sees its European release, as does the Chains of Olympus demo. Plus a couple of decent PS1 games. Here's the full release list:
We hope you guys like Gran Turismo, because there's nothing else for you this week. Just a couple of GT5 Prologue videos which, depending on whether you have a PS3 or not, could be enticing or insulting. If you don't have a PS3, download the videos anyway and pretend you're finally playing Gran Turismo Mobile. That'd be fun, right? Here's the full release list:
GT5 Prologue Friendly Fires Video (Free)
GT5 Prologue Beyond the Apex Trailer (Free)
Before you send us any emails asking what went up on the European PC Store, we'll tell you here. Nothing, that's what. There wasn't a single new piece of content added to the European PC Store. So even if you're not particularly chuffed with the above GT5 videos, be happy you at least got something.
This update actually went up yesterday, but we held out to see if the PC Store was having the same "technical difficulties" as the PSN Store. Evidently, it wasn't. Reel Fishing, a PS1 game that received a 1.4 from Gamespot, is the only update. Lovely. Thanks Sony! At £3.49, this game definitely isn't worth it. Let's vote with our wallets and wait out for more classics like Klonoa and Blood Omen - both of which have been rated by PEGI or the ESRB. When they'll arrive on the store, however, is anyone's guess.
Koei must totally love the PSN Store, because it feels like every week there's some more Warrior's Orochi content. Taking advantage of the content-lacking store by resizing a few images and sticking them up as "wallpapers" is actually quite clever. It certainly reminds us week after week that their game still exists. Anyone been tempted to pick it up as a result? Here's the full release list:
Demos are always nice if you're on the fence about whether to buy the game or not. If you play the Flatout demo and still aren't sure then be sure to check out our review of the game.
What do you mean you haven't picked up WipEout Pulse yet? Well, if you really need to be persuaded further, Sony has a demo to offer you on the PC Store today. Plus a few God of War goodies. Here's the full release list:
Not quite as good as the US PSN Store update, but at least content is being released consistently. Be sure to grab the WipEout demo, even if you're not really a fan of racing games. You never know, you might enjoy it!
According to a press release sent to New Zealand based site GeekPulp, PAL territories will be able to get their hands on flOw during the same month their American cousins will. The game is due out sometime this month for both territories and for more information you should check out our PSP hands-on. Another game hitting the PC Store is the monkeylicious Ape Quest, which Americans have had their hands on for a little while now. The Ape Escape spin-off RPG will be available in PAL territories sometime in April. Check out our review for more information.
Small update today, but not necessarily a bad one if you're a fan of WipEout Pulse. The third add-on pack for the game is now available. When will these packs stop coming? Good question. Next week is the final update. Here's the full release list:
This week's add-on pack adds another ship to your repertoire as well as two new tracks. Not bad for three quid. We're sad to see that there are no PS1 games or demos this week. Maybe something interesting will hit the American store later today. We'll keep you informed.
Not a bad week for PC Store content. The American store gets the same two demos as the Europeans have along with a full PSP game, Twisted Metal: Head-On. No doubt a timed cash-in considering the PS2 port was recently released. Here's the full release list:
MLB 08 The Show demo (free)
Patapon demo (free)
Twisted Metal: Head-On full game ($14.99)
Twisted Metal: Head-On Behind the Scenes video 3 (free)
Twisted Metal: Head-On Behind the Scenes video 4 (free)
Twisted Metal: Head-On PSP Wallpaper (free)
Have you started downloading the Patapon demo yet? Why not! Get it started.
