The “Digital Edition” of Tomb Raider marks this week’s big title – it’s a penny under fifty notes but it’s a brilliant game and if anything’s worth full price it’s Lara’s latest (although chronologically earliest) adventure. Also on PS3 is Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk (£40) and a load of Capcom stuff in the shape of Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil Code Veronica X Bundle (£16); Darkstalkers Resurrection (£12) and Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3 Bundle (£12).
SBK Generations lands at £11, too. It’s joined by International Snooker (£11, also available on PS Vita) and Jeremy McGrath Offroad (£8.89). Other stuff for the main console includes the DLC for Dead Space 3 (£8), Milestone’s WRC Powerslide (£8) and a pile of Disney PS2 titles like Monsters Inc and Incredibles, if that’s your sort of thing.
There’s loads of DLC though: Sleeping Dogs’ Year Of The Snake add-on, a couple of ‘packs’ for Dead Space 3, the Scott Pilgrim multiplayer expansion (yay!) and the VR Missions for Metal Gear Rising. Remember the Sound Shapes stuff is live, too, so if you want some extra levels and bits and bats, get your game patched, and then have a think about the DLC.
There’s also a demo for the new Army of Two on PS3 along with the previously Wii U exclusive remix of Ninja Gaiden 3. Razor’s Edge is better, so grab the demo and take a look. Finally, the rather funky Shao: Demon Sword is out for £4. This was great on the Dreamcast (in first person) and although the PS2 version switches to a third person game, it’s still great. Super tough, too.
Remember Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is there for the PS Vita if you’re a PlayStation Plus Subscriber too – we only had good things to say about that one.

There is a lot of stuff I’m going to be picking up. MGS:HD from PS+. Darkstalkers as I’m a fighting game whore. Sound Shapes and Sleeping Dogs DLC.

£50 for Tomb Raider? Really?
I’ll stick to Steam sales and get it cheap in the future. Don’t have much space to keep buying physical copy’s of games anymore, so I’m turning more to digital with a few exceptions, but I refuse to pay £50 a game. XBL/PS Store could learn a thing or two from Steam and GOG.

PSN and Xbox LIVE do have sales. Pretty good ones too.
DirtyHabit
£29.99 in Tesco.

buy a disc wallet and then sell the blu-ray cases on flea-bay!
You can buy a physical copy for £29.85 from simply games or £31.90 from amazon

My copy arrived today for £24. Absolutely loving it so far. It’s very much like Far cry 3 which I also loved.
bunimomike
Exactly. Ouch as always. Admittedly I’m not able to resell my “copy” but I picked it up for £21 on the PC (then downloaded it through Steam).
BULLofDOOM
With you on the price, I got it on the PS3 from Shopto a day before general release for £31.85, digital prices this high cannot be justified.
Though i’ll never touch Steam / PC again, happy to take a hit in visuals for a smoother unified experience via XBL / PSN.

Is the dlc for sleeping dogs a new story arc or just character skins etc.?
Bodachi
New story based after the end of the game.
Taylor Made

TSBonyman
Ooh.. WRC Powerslide might tempt me..
TSBonyman
.. or maybe not, looking at the early reviews.. :/

I’ve just tried the demo, it’s actually not too bad at all.
TSBonyman
How is the camera? i was reading that it sways from side to side and lags behind when you go through any tight bends. Also the powerups seem to obscure a lot of the screen. Apart from that i would be probably be interested though, guess i’ll try the demo later!
R1MJAW
I thought there would be an issue with the camera after viewing the game play video but it actually keeps up quite well.
The power ups can also be turned off for a purer race experience.
TSBonyman
Cool thanks, i’ll be home soon to see for myself.
Tomhlord
Wow, have I been living under a rock? What is this WRC game? Enjoyed WRC3, may pick this up regardless.
cam the man
SBK Generations for £11 sounds good.
Tomhlord
mmm, tempted by that myself!
gaffers101
MGS HD on Vita for me – nice one :)
hazelam
