This Week on the PSN [The PAL Edition]

24
Richard Walker

It's a pretty quiet week on the PlayStation Store as the New Year gets started, with just one new PSN game to speak of, a solitary PSone classic and a handful of add-ons to take a look at. All in all then, there's not a whole lot to write home about this week.

Kill All Zombies! is your one and only gaming offering on the PSN this week, with Wild Arms fulfilling its PSone classic duties in that particular section of the store, while this week's PlayStation Plus offerings are actually quite healthy to make up for it. There's the full series of Back to the Future for free, Voodoo Dice, Rally Cross, Arc the Lad and a load more all up for grabs if you're a PS Plus member, which is none too shabby.

Meanwhile on the rest of the store, you'll find a small selection of DLC for the likes of MotorStorm Apocalypse, King of Fighters XIII and Batman: Arkham City, which brings a Challenge Map Pack for you to download. There's a few more things to check out, so take a look at it all right here:

  • Wow... What an update!
  • Right? no trine 2 again :D
  • ...BOOOOOOOOOORING! Never anything good now -_-
  • *Got Back to the Future: The Game and Voodoo Dice a few weeks ago* Blast it... all well! Very good games. Hope everyone will enjoy them! :)
  • where is trine 2???
  • Batman Arkham City – Challenge Map Pack (if its the Joker Carnival Challenge then its not that great I got it for free as a preorder bonus). Motorstorm Apocalypse – Happy New Year Livery (I downloaded this and the christmas one but still havent had the notion to play this again I started the second part, I think im at 10% trophies?.. dunno. game is just soooo cheesy). other than that there is nothing as per usual.
  • PS+ is turning into even more of a joke : Doubt I'll be renewing...
  • All zombies must die for me. I never bothered purchasing PS+ because the deals are crap and PS+ is a waste of money. Instead I'll buy what I want.
  • Great 2 games i already puchased. Who0ptifkin doo. Same every fkin month.
  • hmm... nice discount for After Burner Climax, I've been waiting ages to get this game for a reasonable price.
  • #8 - Really? I bought one year worth of ps+ because I like the online storage, and so far i've gotten stuff for about 200+ usd free. Pretty neat if you ask me. You get way more than you pay for. sure, it's random, but sometimes pretty sweet freebies show up.
  • Ive had mine almost a year and get games i have already bought every damn month. Shitty themes, pointless minis, and ps1 games not worthy of hd space. No point renewing cuz naff all will vanish because ive got hardly anything from it.
  • I WANT TRINE 2!!! :(
  • I've been playing Trine 2 in the states for over a week now, where is it not out yet?
  • Back to the Future no doubt will be as boring as Sam & Max, but i got it for free so i can't complain. Why do people buy that s**t anyway? It's an obvious "coming to PS+" cos it sucks, it probably ain't been bought by a lot of people and that's why it's free. And to correct everyone else PS+ is great most of the time, i only ever buy PSN games when there in the sale. it's rare a game becomes free on PS+ and i've already bought it. be smart and wait for the games to come down in price, as they always do.
  • Any UK/Ireland users know when the hell the Batcave/Joker's Carnival/Iceberg Lounge challenge maps are gonna appear on our PSN??? They were supposed to be out on 20/12/11!!!
  • Avatars...*sigh*
  • Avatars themes and all them little pieces of crap shouldn't be included into every weekly update they should be added separate and they really need to release more stuff for PS+ I just bought it for the 1st time this month. And part from the full series of B.T.T.F and Streets of Rage 2 which I have been given the right to re-download which was from the free 30 day trial last year. There's been nothing worth for the £32 I paid for it heck even after the 30 day trial I watched each week get worse and worse,
  • @#15: Don't play BTTF if you don't want to, simple as that! Why bothering to complain about a game you're not interested in at all??? I loved the movies, and BTTF The Game really hits the right mood, so I strongly recommend playing it! It's great, just by far not as challenging as Monkey Island, but who cares! The story is cool.
  • @16 I just saw the Joker Carinval Map on the store just now its the only one Iv played already and its ok not great but then again if you like challenge maps fair enough but I would have rather have had another Batman skin instead.
  • @16 Thanks dude. I'll check it out now.
  • @20 Thanks dude. I'll check it out now.
  • Arc the Lad wasnt there on either my main account (NZ) or my UK account. Regardless, with Wild ARMs 1 finally on the store, I hope they deign to give us the america-only sequel. Only game in the series I dont have.
  • Wild Arms thank you.
