Hot on the heels of the PSN Store January Sale comes the regular midweek store update, this week sees the launch of PlayStation Move powered shooter Modern Combat: Domination. Joining the interestingly named FPS is a trial and unlock for Spare Parts and Costume Quest On Ice. Not forgetting of course all the usual special offers, Minis, PSOne Classics, other media and of course the whole host of add-on content that we’ve become accustomed to including a wealth of Mass Effect 2 add-ons on Friday.
What catches your eye this week?

I’ll give Modern Combat: Domination a try.
cc_star
Me too, need something Move powered, hopefully it piques my interest.
Jim H [Teabags]
I’ve been playing the demo and it seems solid enough. However I can only get into SnD-type games.
Grey_Ghost13
I’m going for the trial first to and see what it’s like with move
dextreme08
tried it its not bad at all for the price. wont be buying just yet. did have to turn the sensitivity down though on the move. how did everyone else find it? also wondered if it controlled like MAG..
tonyyeb
Liking the look of Modern Combat: Domination. Are we getting a TSA review any time soon?
cc_star
Whatever happens I most certainly will not be mentioning Auditorium HD, a game with zero dialogue lost in translation somewhere.
Gonna try all the trials obviously.
also, I thoroughly recommend GTI Club+ in the sale, its not the best game ever made but its a real blast
Forrest_01
I had heard GTI+ was a good game & am seriously considering it – There’s DLC for it as well isn’t there? Is it pricey (the DLC that is, i can see the game is now dirt cheap!)?
nofi
GTi+ is great fun.
3shirts
Does it have local multiplayer? The arcade machines were a staple for me and my mates back in the day but it’s not the same over PSN.

“a game with zero dialogue lost in translation somewhere”
Delays aren’t always about dialogue. Sometimes, as in the case of SFII HD Remix, Angry Birds or several others, it’s about bugs. Unlike SCEA, SCEE actually have quality control standards and won’t allow the release of something if they consider it to be too buggy. It’s frustrating to get things weeks later than other places, but sometimes it’s worth waiting for if you’re getting a better, more stable game. It should be noted that the US version of Angry Birds still hasn’t had the patch that the EU version got (which is still buggy as it happens, just not as bad as the US version).
cc_star
Auditorium HD isn’t reported as being buggy like SFII Remix was, it was just submitted later to SCEE, although plenty of time has been passed since then.
The framework Sony operate causes these problems from time to time
DrNate86
According to Ross on the official blog last week it is going to be a while yet as they are having some problems with it.
TURRICAN-808
Great recommendation! Its a steal at that price, It comes across as ‘cute’
TURRICAN-808
From above, is it me or is the sound of the trophies on GTi + really loud!
Forrest_01
Seemed pretty normal to me mate – You sure you didn’t have the TV up extra loud & the sound down low or something?
kivi95
I want Under Siege :( Was supposed too have been released in December but got delayed anyone no when it’s releasing?
ARUMIR Sympozium
I want that too and Rayman: Origons
shields_t
No day one launch Media Molecule LBP T-Shirt? GOnna have to find something else to spend four quid on now.
chris_murton
I’m thinking maybe this won’t be out until Friday.
shields_t
Sorry, it was an obscure oldschool TSA reference!
jonny_bolton
It’s there, don’t you worry about that.
I was surprised no-one mentioned it sooner!
YOURMUMANDME
Isn’t Modern Combat the iOS game ? How do the graphics look blown up ?
Whis Vandal Hearts was playable on Ps3 …. :(
doomsday619
It looks pretty good here is the launch trailer.

YOURMUMANDME
Holy shit…. Not what I expected at all. Bought.
tonyyeb
Wow, that trailer looks good. Hope it is a ‘BF1943’ style quick blast type of affair.
Rocket_345
shit. Never even heard of it before but that looks impressive. Hope the trail is good as it will give my Move some more use.
bigdon23
is it just me or did half the kills look like complete missis?
definately try the trial then see what happens
is it online online or does it have split screen? bots?
Tuffcub
They need to rediesn the PS Store, there is to much content to fit on 16 squares, especially when 5 of them are used up every week by Mubi, Firstplay etc
YOURMUMANDME
You can change the icon size or the viewing format…. :|
:D
freezebug2
I think that Chinatown wars is a cert for me this week at that luvvverly price! Time to dust off the small fat one :o)
dextreme08
i know a few warhawk vets have been promoting the game on the january sales thread, but how many people are planning to buy it today? id prefer it if there was a few of us who started around the same time.
flatspikes
I was going to buy it today, but have seen it locally for £5… Still I should pick it up this week:-)
dextreme08
just seen all the dlc for 7.99 on the store as well so I might go down that route too. pm me when u get it
amiga_dude
I will not be buying but that only because I have already got disk version. It only game everyone in my family has copy of all 6 of us.
It one best On-Line games ever. It work very well. There so much to it. Warhawk is one of greats un-sung games that has ever graced to PS3.
Any info on Warhawk sequel Starhawk?
gazzagb
Will get the AC:B Animus Project Update 2.0, and will give the Modern Combat: Domination a try.
