PSN Store Update: 11/04/12

Another week, another PSN Store update. This one has the usual avalanche of content but perhaps the most interesting thing to suck down your interpipes will be the latest round of Vita games which are becoming available.

[drop2]StarDrone Extreme arrives, bringing intergalactic puzzling to the handheld and Pure Chess will provide some cerebral stimulation during your commute (or bathroom visit). Pure Chess also comes with a PS3 version for the same price so it can be enjoyed by those who didn’t rush to buy the Vita.

There’s also a bargain price on the digital download version of The Force Unleashed II, if you’re in the mood for an action-based trip to the Star Wars universe.

Here’s the full list, as huge as ever:

  1. Looking a bit sparse on the Vita front :(

    • 2 games and DLC got released for it today…

      • stardrone is one, what’s the other one?

      • Pure Chess is PS3 and Vita.

      • Is Pure chess buy 1 get both versions?

      • Sweet, will probaly buy that then. Thanks!

      • There’s no mention of a Vita version in the store update, though?

  2. No Skullgirls? 360 copy it is then.

  3. Definitely going to try out Sniper V2…looks like an underdog from the comments

    • same I want to give that ago will get the Vita game as well just waiting on a PSN card to arrive.

  4. Force Unleashed 2 ain’t too bad at that price but I already have it so the Sniper V2 demo it is for me this week.

  5. I thought Pure Chess was going to be released for PSvita too?

    • According to the press release I got this morning, it’s a buy once-play on both kinda deal I think. It says it’s released today and allows players to play on both PS3 and Vita. Odd that the Store update doesn’t make this clearer though.

      • If i read right it’s from the same people that made hustle kings so will be likely, along with coming from a quality stable.

        Not too sure about that DLC though on launch being nearly a third of the price of the base game..oh well at least it’s optional which keeps the base game price down.

      • Somebody asked about this on the blog, according to Jawad it’s for PS3 only.

      • Here’s the relevant Press Release quote:
        “Pure Chess is the first available chess game for the Playstation Network, and enables players to experience the popular and addictive game on their Playstation 3 or Vita.”

        Sounds like it’s compatible with both to me but I’d wait for official confirmation on the store description. Madness that this is unclear.

      • I totally agree Peter … and we all know how reliable SCEE are when it comes to stuff like this.

    • Okey I can confirm that you will need to buy the versions separately so no “buy 1 get both versions”.

  6. Are there any good mini games out there? Have the dregs of a PSN card to spend the minis look like the right sort of price….

    • impossible game is surprisingly addictive, fieldrunners is a good enough tower defense game too.

  7. Nothing for me this week. May get Journey soundtrack though as its spectacular.

  8. just Silent Hill for me i guess.

    still it’s a classic, and it has some of my favourite music in the whole series.

  9. Intrigued by Pure Chess but Stardrone is a definite for me.
    Glad to see they’re are keeping the prices nice and low for these Vita snacks :)

    • If they brought out a game similar to battle chess(amiga,) i’d snap that up. Your pieces would actually fight each other, always reminded me of the game they played on star wars.

  10. Was going to treat myself to me3 or nfstrun for £25 this wk, but i’d better grab the fortune hunter pass before it’s removed & give me an extra incentive to finish sp, not that more is needed, uc3 a pure joy to play.
