Gravity Rush

This Week on the PSN [The NTSC Edition]

Two highly anticipated (and long-awaited) PS Vita titles hit PSN in this week’s update, in the form of the beautiful, Newton-bothering action game Gravity Rush and the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. 

The latter may be missing the glorious PSP game Peace Walker, but it’s still worth a punt. MGS HD Collection is dripping with classics.

Elsewhere, the Move-supporting god title Babel Rising hits PSN. A kind of inverse tower defence game, the Ubisoft-published wand waggler is an intriguing prospect. You can find more info, plus the launch trailer, here.

Beyond that, there’s the usual collection of full PS3 games, discounts, minis, and add-ons, including some new content for the monochrome Vita puzzler Escape Plan. You can pick that up for just $0.25. Amazing.

Here's the full PlayStation Store update:

After last week's Freebie extravaganza, this week's deal is next to nothing. Then again everybody's still busy playing with last week's free games I suppose :)

Got me Pulzar, Escape Plan DLC (25c WOOOOO!), Atelier Meruru Pamela character and all the Disgaea 4 DLC that came out. Pretty good week for me personally.

I am getting annoyed at TellTale as well though. What was supposed to be a monthly release has so far turned bi-monthly. Hopefully they actually get it out at the end of June.

Anybody that doesn't have Payday: The Heist, has a very good deal there @ $9.99. Excellent game & is even more fun when you have a full team of friends with the game.
