This week on the US Video Store you can find Orphan, The Proposal, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, and Battlestar Galactica: The Plan. In addition over 50 horror titles have been added to the Halloween House of Horror Featured Collection, just in time for Halloween. The top movie downloads this week are:
So far, the God of War III demo has made its way to Japan and the US in various ways but nothing for Europe. Until now, that is. This weekend, SCEE will be emailing out voucher codes to a selected number of PAL PSN users who registered to receive the SCEE promotional newsletter. The voucher code will allow users to download the E3 demo of God of War III, which is scheduled for release in March 2010.
On the PSP Store this week, the price promotion on many PSP and PSOne Classics continue on the European Store. Both Stores have a selection of new demos available for download including LocoRoco Midnight Carnival and PixelJunk Monsters Delux. Zombie Tycoon, a new PSP Minis title, is also available for purchase from both stores.
Mike Kebby wasn’t lying last week when he said that Europe would be getting a massive update. Europe has indeed received a massive update with five new playable demos, price promotion on many titles and a plethora of game add-on content, including new packs for Cross Edge, Guitar Hero 5, DJ Hero and Rock Band: Beatles. The US Store update is smaller but includes three new demos, add-on game content and videos.
The third iteration of the hit PSP series SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo, is making it way to the PSP in 2010. To be exact, Fireteam Bravo 3 will be available to purchase from January 12, 2010. Originally, the game was supposed to hit stores on Tuesday, November 24 2009, but has since been delayed. It’s been well over two years since Fireteam Bravo 2 was released so if you are looking for a SOCOM fix, you will have to wait a little longer.
Come December 29th, when you snag your copy of District 9 on Blu-ray, included on the very same disc will be the highly sought after God of War III E3 2009 Demo. This hybrid disc is an industry and PlayStation first which will pair together this summer’s must see Sci-Fi BLOCKBUSTER with SCEA’s powerhouse action title. As an added bonus for God of War fans, those that complete the demo will unlock an exclusive making of featurette about God of War III.
Just in time for Halloween, a new PSP Minis title has hit the PlayStation Store for just £3.99/4.99. Zombie Tycoon lets you take ‘control’ of a hilarious zombie horde in order to achieve complete world domination. Doing so will require a lot brain throwing, building trashing, mascot bashing as well as equipping some of the silliest loot ever conceived.
WipEout HD will be getting a patch soon, which makes some small improvements to front-end functionality and addresses some minor issues with the audio. In addition, small issues that could affect gameplay or scores in the Eliminator and Detonator game modes have also been corrected. Changes have also been made so that any adverts shown during loading screens will not adversely affect the loading times of the title.
This year, why not stay in and take part in the Halloween fun on the PlayStation Network. There are five exclusive new costumes available from the Threads store in the PlayStation Home Mall, including a werewolf, Frankenstein, a witch, a ghost and his and her skeleton suits. Taking place from 6-8pm (GMT) on 31st October 2009 within the Burn Zombie Burn space, all appropriately dressed attendees will get a (trick or) treat upon arrival.
For a limited time only, all Call of Duty: World at War map packs are half price on the PlayStation Store. The three World at War map packs are available for half price until November 1st 2009 and only to North America – sorry Europe! If you are missing one of the three packs, this is a perfect time to complete your collection.
