I still can’t get used to these Wednesday updates, they always make me believe we’re a day nearer the weekend than we actually are. Anyway, it is update day and with it comes the usual host of games, demos, add-on content, special offers and PSP stuff.
Picks of the week include the the release of The Secret Of Monkey Island, which earned a spiffing 9/10 in our review, and a huge range of SEGA discounts thanks to Sonic’s 19th birthday.
Elsewhere there is the Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Lost Planet 2 dlc and a special price reduction on Warhawk’s Fallen Star pack in preparation for a forthcoming official tournament.

cam the man
I wonder if all those going for PSN Plus will wait until they know all that’s included with before they buy minis, themes etc.
DelBoySmiffy
Thats what im doing.
Tzares
Yup, thats what im doing 8]
mynameisblair
Might have to try out Blue Toad for 99p… looks good.
Jas-n
but then if you like it you have to buy all 6 again… they should have a demo… maybe, but for 99p, worth a try, plus it’s probably better than FirstPlay.
BadBoyBoogie
Bad Company 2 DLC for me! I’m also tempted by Blue Toad Murder Files Episode 01 as it’s only 99p and possibly Monkey Island as well.
hairfreax
Does the PSN+ go live today im still a lill confused
Jas-n
29th apparently, but we’ll prob get it the day after when our store updates.

Next week.

Hmm I dont know whether to get Monkey Island: CE or the Tales Of… £7.99 for the one game, or £13.99 for the 5 ‘small’ games??
3shirts
Have you ever played any MI games? If you know the stories then definately get Tales. It’s amazing and with all the episodes together, it’s by far the biggest of the series.
If you haven’t played the first one then get that. Tales uses a lot of back refs and in jokes which you don’t ‘need’ to understand but add so much to the game when you do.
Ryan4815
Nope havnt played any of them. i might just get both then, its so annoying knowing that any game you buy could be free down the line in Playstation Plus…
3shirts
In all honesty. Go for the PC versions then. You’ll get a lot more out of the series playing them in order (Tales is the 5th in the series)
Lfc-Gaz
Paralyzer by Finger Eleven for RBN. Man I love that song, will get this.
3shirts
How appropriate, you fight like a cow
Can’t believe no one has said that yet :)
aranalas
You forgot the Mag DLC, The Interdiction pack for 9.99 euros/6.29 (I’m not sure about those prizes)
webby_15-0

mcduff1979
hmmm bfbc2 dlc and mag and monkey island for me i think
T-82
WHOO HOO!!
