Let’s just be totally honest about it: last week’s store update was very disappointing. There just wasn’t much to pique our collective interest.
[videoyoutube]This week’s? Oh, this week’s is automatically about a bajillion (that’s a real number, okay?) times better thanks to the inclusion of Sound Shapes on PS Vita and PS3. Those accursed inhabitants of Americaland have had it for over a week now and it’s about time us plucky Europeans got in on the action.Of course, that’s not all we’re getting for this Store Update. Even though most of Europe’s games industry is currently in Germany preparing to give conceive and give birth to an horrendous hangover, there’s still some goodies for us to download.
Papo & Yo looks bizarre but enthralling and it has a demo. There’s also a demo for Sleeping Dogs, which comes out on Friday and is really rather good.
[accordions] [accordion title=”PS3 Games”]Papo & Yo
Papo & Yo is a Puzzle-Platforming Adventure that follows the tale of a young boy, Quico and his best friend Monster, a huge beast with razor-sharp teeth and an addiction to poisonous frogs. The minute Monster eats a frog he goes into a violent rage that’s bad news for everyone around. And yet, Quico will make a dangerous journey through a magical world to find a cure for his best friend.

sound shapes for me! Fed up of waiting for the walking dead episode 3 though! I noticed there are 2 new games on ps plus borderlands and just cause 2!

I was actually just thinking of the Walking Dead ep 3 when i looked at the reductions this morning. It reminded me that one has kinda slipped into the ether without a word now too.
Interestingly though, there is less fuss being kicked up about it this time – Might it be that they have now created an expectation that their episodes will not turn up in a timely fashion, so there is no point complaining perhaps?
Tuffcub
They never promised monthly updates, that was assumed.
Forrest_01
No, i am aware of that – At the moment though, they are looking more like quarterly updates at best.
They still beat Valve at episodic gaming though! :P
sg
i swear they said in an interview…the guys was saying that the fact the game is in parts and released monthly builds anticipation or whatever
i can’t remember what it’s called but it has more than one ep talking about the walking dead on the psn store.
stigdu
The store is all over the place today.
No Sleeping Dogs demo.
No Rock Band 3 DLC. :(
2 free games!!! (Borderlands, Just Cause 2)
Can’t find the YouTube app either…
cam the man
Sony don’t like to keep things simple, nice or tidy :-}
gaffers101
Just the Sleeping Dogs demo for me.
