It’s not the biggest Store update today but it has got a couple of gems in there to keep you gaming until Santa empties his sack in your front room.
Stranger’s Wrath in HD is probably the biggest news, scoring a fantastic 9/10 in our recent review. The HD rereleases of ICO and Shadow of the Colossus also make an appearance as downloads and are well worth your time (and cash, if you can’t find them cheaper in store).
We also see the arrival of the Batman: Arkham City Skins pack for those of us who didn’t pre-order the game to prance about dressed in one of the Dark Knight’s many other costumes.
Here’s the full, enormous list:

what kind of time do these updates happen nowadays? 3pm?
gazzagb
Shame Trine 2 isn’t there, been looking forward to that for yonks. Will try the Dungeon Defenders demo, and maybe get Jurassic Park if it’s good.
matthangzhou
I’ve not heard much good about it which is a shame. Mostly that’s incredibly dated.
Omac_brother
Jurassic Park & Strangers Wrath for me. Not a bad week at all.
I know this is a bit off topic, but anybody any ideas when the next Back to the future episode gets released on EU store? I cant find the last 2 episodes on EU PSN anywhere.
shields_t
Haven’t they finished releasing them now? I think there were 5 in total and I’m pretty sure I have all 5 on my XMB.
Omac_brother
They might have done. I bought the full season pass, downloaded the first 3 but then I cant seem to find the rest. I will have another look… Im probably being really dozy.
shields_t
It is like looking for a needle in a haystack sometimes, especially when the “you might also like” links rarely have any relation to the product you are on.
Dan Lee
At least PS3 owners have Stranger’s Wrath to make up for the lack of Trine 2.
Origami Killer
Nothing for me today, maybe just the free PS+ theme :)
shields_t
Ooooooh, when can we expect a Jurassic Park review? That one crept up a bit.
Death_In_Flamez
Totally called the MSA livery :L
hazelam
the original Destruction Derby for ps1 is available today for plus subscribers too, part of the 12 christmas gifts promotion.
rSp8
Oddworld and Supercar Challenge look tempting. Shame there’s no Trine 2, I really enjoyed the first even though I didn’t get far into it. Might boot it up until the sequel appears…
bacon_nuts
Looks like nothing for me today :/
