The DLC Sale is the biggest highlight this week with some tasty reductions to content from Borderlands, Mafia II, GTAIV and Red Dead Redemption. Demos include Dungeon Hunter: Alliance, Gatling Gears, Star Raider, Homefront multiplayer and MotorStorm: Apocalypse. If you still have your PlayStation Plus subscription going or you bought Infamous 2 you’ll be glad to know that the Uncharted 3 Multiplayer beta is now live. I’ll presume you’ve just dashed off for that right away.
Today’s PSN update is a little light on the new games front but the new village growing pursuits of Akimi Village could be interesting. We’re more than tempted to revisit the original American McGee’s Alice too; as we’re sure it’s better than the recent Alice: Madness Returns. Cheaper than forking out for the PC original on eBay too.
To celebrate Sonic’s 20th birthday (yes really) there’s a collection that features, Sonic 1 & 2, Sonic 4 Episode 1 and Sonic Adventure plus DX). Tomorrow will see the release of a new Sonic Generations demo, which we’re pretty psyched for after Matt’s hands-on preview at E3. DLC highlights include a new case for LA Noire and Killzone 3 maps.
This is it folks, Sonic 4 is finally here and in glorious 2D, surely this is gonna be awesome? We’ll have a review for you soon. There’s more too: Dead Space Ignition is a mini-game/comic hybrid to help build up some momentum before Dead Space 2, the new demo for The Force Unleashed II should be thundering down your broadband pipe soon enough and WRC fans can now buy the deadly Group B cars too, those trees won’t know what hit ‘em.
Blue Toad Murder Files 4-6 has a much more respectable price now at £4.79 as does Section 8 at £9.99. Metal Gear Solid -Portable Ops might well be worth a cheeky punt at just over a fiver too. We’re not entirely surprised to see Blade Kitten get reduced so soon because, well, it’s a bit crap. Download the demo and see for yourself.
(Prices available until the 27th of October)
