The Drop for this week:

PlayStation Network BioShock – BioShock is a narrative-driven action experience that allows players to do the impossible as they journey through an amazing, immersive and terrifying world. Caught between powerful forces and hunted down by genetically mutated citizens, the player will come to grips with the mysterious and fascinating world of Rapture, a distinct Art Deco underwater utopia gone mad. BioShock not only challenges the players’ capacity to adapt and survive, but brings to question their values and commitment to the inhabitants of Rapture. With smart and adaptive AI, no encounter ever plays out the same, while numerous customization options provide gamers with an experience that adapts to their playing style. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 – Co-developed by Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games, Modern Warfare 3 delivers a full assault on gamers’ senses, including an intense single-player campaign that picks up immediately following the events of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and escalates into World War 3, as well as groundbreaking upgrades to the beloved Special Ops like the all-new Survival Mode. Special Ops serves as the perfect springboard to Modern Warfare 3′s re-imagined multiplayer, featuring the series’ trademark visceral gun-on-gun combat, a revamped pointstreak system with the introduction of “Strike Packages,” devastating new modes like “Kill Confirmed” and other gameplay enhancements, new features and a bevy of new weapons, equipment, and perks. The House of the Dead: Overkill Extended Cut – It’s survival horror as it’s never been seen before! The House of the Dead: Overkill is a pulp-style take on the classic SEGA light-gun shooter series. The game takes place as Special Agent G — the hero of The House Of The Dead series — is given his first assignment fresh out of the AMS academy. Teamed up with hard-boiled Detective Washington, they are sent to investigate stories of mysterious disappearances in small-town Louisiana. Little do they know what blood-soaked mutant depravity awaits them in the streets and swamps of Bayou City… The Extended Cut of The House of the Dead: Overkill presents the game for the first time in full HD with 3D support and PlayStation Move compatibility on the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system.With all seven stages of the original re-mastered and two brand new scenarios added to this gruesome shooter, the ‘baddest’ just got bigger! Zen Pinball 2 (Also on PS Vita) – The sequel to the popular pinball game by Zen Studios, Zen Pinball 2 features an abundance of exciting new features and updates, making it the premiere pinball platform on PS3 and PS Vita. Demos Rainbow Moon PlayStation 2 Classic Suzuki TT Superbikes: Real Road Racing Championship – Suzuki TT Superbikes features more than 50 vehicles from all over the world, and includes the world famous 37.73 mile Isle of Mann racetrack. For the highest level of realism possible, the course itself has been mapped using data supplied by the government and data captured by the development team. In addition to the traditional racing, the game also features a “Mad Sunday” mode that brings riders from all over the world to test their chops on the mountain. Supplementary modes, such as two-player split-screen and sidecar multiplayer are also included, as are bikes from all classes — from 125cc all the way to the F1 1000ccs!

Where is the vita stuff??

Im still waiting for GTA III

"The House of the Dead: Overkill Extended Cut – It’s survival horror as it’s never been seen before!"

yeah, im pretty sure its been seen before. ha

I really don't care about pinball let alone digital pinball but that $3 Plants vs. Zombies table looks rad.

Also, for Borderlands: Borderlands 2 has in-game rewards which unlock when it finds a completed Borderlands 1 save file on the system. (I believe it just needs one character file which has finished Playthrough 1) So a good time to marathon through 1 on PS3 if you have any interest in picking-up 2.

So when are these updates going live?

They're up now if you search. I'm downloading Borderlands now.

When I say so.

Downloading now, thanks!

Anyone else noticing that, despite the store listing Zen Pinball as the full game, the on system games list has it down as a trial?

Anybody else surprised by how small the file size is for Borderlands?

The base-game is like ~3.3 GBs if memory serves....which resulted in the following (paraphrasing):

Ken Levine to Randy Pitchford: "You guys really used every part of the buffalo."

edit: Just saw that Borderlands 2 is up for pre-order in the EU store (£39.99). It includes the Premiere Club.

Here's hoping they do the same for US/NA as I'd rather not wait on free non-prime shipping.

huzzah!

Wow @ La Pucelle Tactics

It's like the spiritual predecessor to Disgaea. I think I still have my physical copy but it's a cute strategy game if you're into that sort of thing. I think I got stuck eventually.

Hmmm. It's very odd that the PS3 will play PS2 games if you pay $10 for them, but if you own the disc, then fuuuuuuuck you, you're outta luck.

The announcement of the Killzone trilogy also makes very shady the sudden day-of-alleged-release disappearance of Killzone's PS2 Classics download much more suspicious.

With that in mind, it makes me think of another day-of-release disappearance.

Grand Theft Auto trilogy HD, anybody?

The Drop for this week:

PlayStation Network NHL 13 – Driven by real-world physics and more than 1,000 new gameplay animations, NHL 13′s True Performance Skating authentically replicates the explosiveness, momentum, and top-end speed of NHL players.

In addition, NHL 13 delivers new experiences that connect hockey fans to their friends and the real world of hockey with the all-new GM Connected and NHL Moments Live modes. Battlefield 3: Premium Edition – Using the power of Frostbite 2 game engine technology, Battlefield 3 delivers superior visual quality, a grand sense of scale, massive destruction, dynamic audio and incredibly lifelike character animations.

The unlikely hero is a smart mouthed and undisciplined sixteen year old who just passed her exorcism exams and her comrades in La Pucelle, a demon hunting squad. La Pucelle serves up a rich storyline, with equal parts characterization and personality to match. Gameplay involves capturing monsters and successfully manipulating each stage’s Dark Portals, all set to a quirky old-school atmosphere and complemented by extra gameplay features, like the bartering system. Over 100 hours of gameplay with multiple endings await.
