European PSN Store update for April 24th

There's a pleasing amount of new content made available today on the European PlayStation Store. It's not very often we get to say that, but this week is surprisingly good. We'll sit back for a couple more weeks before throwing SCEE a "We Forgive You!" party, but for now we're placated. Here's the full release list, in a new handy-dandy format:

Playable content

Rocketmen: Axis of Evil demo (free) (Review)
Bishi Bashi Special PS1 game (£3.49/€4.99 )
Command & Conquer PS1 game (£3.49/€4.99 )
FlOw PSP version (£4.99/€7.99 ) (Review)
God of War: Chains of Olympus demo for PSP (free) (Review)

Add-on content

Call of Duty 4 Variety Map Pack (£6.99/€9.99)

Trailers

Resistance 2 announcement trailer (free)
Warhawk: Operation Broken Mirror trailer (free)
Two Viking trailers (free)
Three Timeshift "FPS Differently" trailers (free)

Themes and wallpapers

Metal Gear Solid 4 "Sneak Out" PS3 theme (free)
Dark Sector wallpaper (free)
Seven Motorstorm wallpapers (free)

Two PS1 games? Yes please. Good ones, too. This is more like what we expected from the service. No more Reel Fishing, thanks. We're also pleased to see the Resistance 2 trailer going up today, alongside the American release. That and the Variety Map Pack start to make us wonder whether SCEE really is serious about fixing their problems with the European Store. Keep it up.

CoD4 New Maps = Win!

Though how $9.99 becomes £6.99 I have no idea...

Also, been looking at getting Bishi Bashi Special off eBay for a while so might grab that as well :)

£7 for 4 maps?????? what a joke and the fact that you cant choose the maps u want to play makes it even more of a joke

oh man its bishi bashi!i remember that game! very fun

cen said...

FUN ? Are you guys serious ??!!
Why isn't SCE releasing serious games like Final fantasy and metal gear solid or resident evil ??!! we are only left with crappy games that no one would buy or even look at !?!?

It is fun you tard, maybe not for you, but it doesn't mean it isn't fun. I've played Bishi Bashi and it was very fun to be honest.

All those great PS1 games youve mentioned will come, but SCEE need to straighten their act a bit, it takes a while. You just have to be patient. Otherwise, you don't even deserve it. North America hardly gets any PS1 downloads, if at all...

Agreed, cen. Bishi Bashi? huh? What's the point of putting something up there if noone knows enough about it to look at it twice? C&C is a good choice though. I think good ones will come. Japan is getting MGS I read somewhere, so it should follow elsewhere, surely. I'm hoping for Tomb Raider II, personally.

I got Wipeout thinking it'd be a blast from the past, but when you compare the driving mechanics (not just graphics), it really is a bad game next to Pulse. G-Police is very good though!

Please give us a good update this week in America.

Like, some good PS1 games.

Is Bishi Bashi any good? Whats it about? Worth the price?

Bishi Bashi! The original mini-game party title! Amazing. Dozens and dozens of 5-10 second silly button combo games. It sounds so clichéd now with the Wii getting a title that fits that description every month or so, but when the Bish- Bashi games were out on the PS1 it was amazing. I am buying it.

do you think they will make the new maps work on every game type e.g headquaters,S&D

plus £7 pound for maps tht only work on 3 game types that no one plays is abit of a rip off

Which game types do these apply to? I'm a big fan of Domination and Headquarters.
