Greetings Programs and gamers!
Monday was the DROP, now is the actual update. Every Tuesday, the PlayStation Store updates its page with new games, trailers, and special deals.
Some of my personal special highlights this week include Rush N Attack: Ex-Patriot, Back to the Future Episode II, and Mass Effect 2 DLC: The Arrival
However, there have been a few noteworthy additions and surprises.
I had previously previewed my coverage of SPLIT/SECOND, which is now available on the PSN. However, a new game has also arisen, Free Realms! Originally an MMO based on the PC and MAC, Free Realms is now available on the PlayStation 3 with all the casual, fun, free-to-explore greatness that you have come to expect. yes, there is voice chat and yes, there are trophies. With this update, the game should be available now.
Also, another game by Square Enix, Moon Diver, comes exclusively to the PS3. The game is made in the essence of the old-school side-scroller with a tremendous take on action, plat-forming, and presentation. Looking at the trailer gets me pretty fired up!
The entire update posting is as follows. Happy shopping and see you on the Network.
