DeathSpank

This Week on the PSN (The PAL Edition)
Written Wednesday, July 14, 2010 By Richard Walker

This week sees DeathSpank landing on the PlayStation Store, although the European update fails to get the same trial version as its US counterpart, so you'll just have to take the risk and buy it. But then it is from the mind of Monkey Island creator Ron Gilbert, so we'll stick our necks out and say that it's bound to be ace.

Also on the PSN this week is a range of special offers, including the ultra-fun arcade blast that is After Burner Climax for half price and the Western-themed multiplayer shooter Lead and Gold for just £5.49/€6.99. Both are well worth a punt.

And finally, there's add-ons for Trine and Death Track: Resurrection as well as a belated multiplayer demo of Bizarre Creations grown-up Mario Kart style racer, Blur.

Check out the full list:

Could'nt agree more with #13, Utter bullshit. I thought I was paying for the same PS+ service as US users.
Here's a question: Will the PAL monthly update contain everything that has been released in the US weekly updates? I doubt it.

@15, i dont think it will, they already have infamous and we dont, it sucks even more because EU is paying more to have less.
And nothing that really catched my eye this week, maybe deathspank, but ill wait to see some reviews. And i thought we already had Eye Pet avatars?
