EU PSN Store update 19/01/2011

[DJ-Daz]

Hi everyone – I hope you had a good start to the week and ‘Blue Monday’ didn’t hit you too hard! It’s Wednesday so we’ve got a Store update for you, including the kick off of the January sales.

Two fabulous new PSN games hit today (complete with trials) in the form of Spare Parts – the new robotic adventure from EA and Modern Combat: Domination, a Move-enabled FPS with compelling gameplay at a compelling price. If you’ve ever played a game of Counterstrike you’ll be instantly at home with this one.

New minis hit as well, including the wildly popular Shift extended, the previously Plus-only Pipe Madness and Soccer Bashi.

Downloadable content? Well why not, eh? Trinity Universe, Tron: Evolution, R.U.S.E. and lots of extra bits and pieces for the newly released Mass Effect II – but don’t get the Cerberus pack if you’ve purchased a version of the game with the extra content included in the box.
Also we’ve got another multiplayer update for Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood which will cost you precisely nothing – isn’t that nice?

I’m in meetings the first part of this afternoon but I will be back for comments before the end of the day – so I’ll see you then.

Don't do it! I'm sure it's supposed to be free, like the last one. They put that on at a price, then changed it to free. I bet they've done the same again...

BTW Off the top of my head it's 3 new maps and 3 new (single player) operations.

I quite like the look of that Modern Combat thing, but if it gets no players it will fail. And PSN games don't tend to fare well in that regard. I hope there's a demo though, so I can check out the Move support.

Still no Hoard though - WTF? How much text can there be to be localised? But its ok - there's plenty of Hannah Montana bollocks instead... pffft.
