Welcome to Wednesday, when everyone with a PS3 jumps up and downloads Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge because it’s utterly fab (you can read our review of the iPhone version here). If you’re not a Monkey Island lover, not only is there something a bit ‘wrong’ with you but you’re also hurting our feelings. So it’s double bad – consider yourself on the naughty step.
There’s other stuff, too – loads of discounted stuff like Afterburner Climax and Lead and Gold, and there’s also the Onslaught pack for Battlefield 2, priced at – wow – £13.99. Check out the demo of Patapon 3 for the PSP, too, and then grab the Sweet Tooth thingy for ModNation Racers. It’s all good this week, if not a little bit expensive. What you getting, then?

Blimey! The price of the Queen tracks! Make me glad I have none of the guitar-playing games whatsoever, but when the new Rock Hero Band (whatever) comes out that handles keyboards…
Anyway, just the Flower avatars for me, and maybe – if it is actually going to appear this week :-) – the 5-in-1 Aracde Hits mini.
nofi
It is, it’s definitely out this week. =)

resurgance pack and monkey island 2 for me, good times!
SpikeyMikey23
Just purchased at £20 psn card from shopto. for £10.84p thanks to my winnings from its football competition, good times +1
BadBoyBoogie
You did well with your predictions with ShopTo…I only won £3 myself!!
Ryan1991
Me too. I’m glad I don’t gamble!

Rock Band has an excellent queen pack with 10 or 12 songs in, came out last year, they are £0.99 each with a discount for the bundle.
Groovin’ Blocks is fun (I gave it a 6 in my TSA review but it’s one of the few PSN games I carried on playing after the review was done), £7.99 rather expensive though. £5.99 would be a good price for it.
BrendanCalls
Will be getting the resurgence pack me thinks, just need to put a few pennies into the account and im good to go.

Monkey Island 2. time for some spitting contests. :-D
hannes_truce
A question though – does anyone know if this has 2 difficulty settings like the original?
nofi
It doesn’t, no.
hannes_truce
Thats a damn shame – the hardest difficulty had puzzles that were freaking impossible, it took me months to finish it. ah well, still picking this up tonight as it’s my favourite game of all time.
SpikeyMikey23
i cant wait to get it. i played the 1st,3rd and 4th, will eventually buy the tales when they drop in price. ive never played this one! very excited
wuntunzee
so few Marvel LBP characters? maybe this is a drip feed deal like SSF4 characters.
I was hoping there would be this many –

ah, I see –
Starting July 7th and every other week following, we’ll introduce four different Marvel Costume Packs – Media Molecule

What’s happened to all the descent demos?
cam the man
PSN+ ?
BrendanCalls
So clearly, and contrary to what everyone has said, those of us who have not signed up to PSN + are losing out on stuff that was previously available. Unsurprising really.
Unless it just so happens there were no demos planned this week anyway, but i doubt thats the case.
benny boy
There aren’t any demos for PSN+ either. What are you on about?
BrendanCalls
Which if you read my comment properly is why I said
“Unless it just so happens there were no demos planned this week anyway”
How about reading it before you jump down my throat
cc_star
PlayStation+ had its exclusive content for the entire first two months published a week or two ago… its not like any demos in the meantime have been commandeered by it.
jacklum
Um… there’s a demo (or ‘trial’ – same thing) for Monkey Island 2: SE. No need for the conspiracy theories.
benny boy
That was a response to cam.
cam the man
I just thought that demos (and other stuff) could be kept back until the 3 month trail period is nearly over so it would give people an incentive to re-sign.
benny boy
I think that would cause too much of an uproar in their fanbase and I’m pretty sure that the three month period in the US isn’t actually a trial period but it was just 3 months free when you buy a year subscription.
GregHorrorShow
Looks like that Battlefield pack includes Battlefield 1943 as well as Onslaught? When I bought Onslaught it was only £7?
Klart
Indeed. So that’s a nice price, no?
GregHorrorShow
Definitely and worth picking up for sure.
I maybe misread the original post – when Nofi said “the Onslaught pack for Battlefield 2, priced at – wow – £13.99” I thought maybe he’d missed the 1943 bit and thought EA were pulling an Activison on the price for Onslaught :o)
teflon
And BF1943 is usually £9.99. So if you buy Onslaught and BF1943 in this bundle, you save a few quid.
minerwilly
ah ok , i’m an unashamed DICE fanboy and did a double take when reading the article . I thought they dropped to CoD’s dirty standards . I feel guilty for doubting them . 1943 is easily my most played PSN purchase so far .
Winkle
I like DICE too but don’t like where the MOH beta is going. Just doesn’t feel right. So much so that I’m thinking of canceling my MOH pre order.
scavenga
MI2, of course!
Just Cause addons, and maaaaybe Afterburner…
Lead and Gold, is that multiplayer only?
That Grooving Blocks thingy looks like a weak Lumines…
3shirts
Did you not get the not-so-limited edition of Just Cause 2? These were in it.
scavenga
Yes, of course – sorry… *blush*
