Worldwide PS3 releases for the week of July 6th

Posted Jul 6th 2008 11:00AM by Jem Alexander
Filed under: New Releases

It's another catch-up week this week, as the US finally gets its hands on Civilization Revolution and Asia is given Dark Sector and Kane & Lynch (though probably wishes it wasn't.) Europe is barren this week and the only new release of the bunch probably won't appeal to many people, unless you really love your Olympics. Here's the full release list:

US Games
 EU Games

No new releases

Asian Games Release dates are constantly subject to change, so be sure to check with your local store for the official dates.

European PSN releases for July 3rd

Posted Jul 3rd 2008 8:00AM by Jem Alexander
Filed under: New Releases, PlayStation Store

This week's PSN Store update is truly Euro-centric. Not only do we have the first episode of the Europe-exclusive "PSN TV Show" Movement, but there's also four packs of Buzz! Quiz TV content available to purchase. Movement's first episode is split into eight videos, including four live performances from the two featured Parisian bands. If you actually want to play something today, however, there's always Wolf of the Battlefield Commando 3. Here's the full release list:

Playable content
  • Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 Full Game (£6.99/€9.99)
  • Space Invaders Extreme demo for PSP (free)
Add-on content
  • Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 "Gift Pack" map pack (free)
  • Buzz! Quiz TV "UK Culture" quiz pack (£3.49/€4.99)
  • Buzz! Quiz TV "Australian Culture" quiz pack (£3.49/€4.99)
  • Buzz! Quiz TV "Sci Fi" quiz pack (£3.49/€4.99)
  • Buzz! Quiz TV "Rock Legends" quiz pack (£3.49/€4.99)
  • Guitar Hero III "July 4th Holiday single" (free)
Videos
  • 8 Movement "Paris" videos
  • Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway Ubidays trailer
  • Haze launch trailer
Themes and wallpapers
  • Metal Gear Solid 4 theme
  • Elefunk theme
  • Echochrome theme
  • Top Spin 3 wallpaper
  • Elefunk "Forest" wallpaper
  • Elefunk "Circus" wallpaper
On closer inspection, there appear to be more Buzz! Quiz TV quiz packs than we thought. Each country should have a "Culture" pack corresponding to their particular region.

Worldwide PS3 releases for the week of June 29th

We hope you're happy with this week's releases, because they're all you're going to get until the end of July. The summer drought starts here and it starts not with a bang, but with a whimper. The biggest release this week? Buzz! Quiz TV. We were aiming to get a review out for you before the game's launch, but Sony has yet to provide us with any buzzers. So don't hold your breath. Here's the full release list:

US Games
EU Games
 Asian Games
 Feel free to import any of the above titles (Initial D Extreme Stage even has an English-language manual version available), though we're not too sure what the situation is with Buzz! Quiz TV's DLC. You should be fine for free stuff (and there appears to be lots of it), but paid-for content will be a little trickier. Release dates are constantly subject to change, so make sure you check with your local retailer if you're worried.

European PSN update for June 26th

Filed under: Previews, News

Want content? You got content. Europe gets their hands on the MGS Database today, which is probably the most exciting piece of content here, we reckon. If you're wondering where Novastrike is, you won't be seeing that hit the store in this region until August. Worth waiting for an improved version that includes trophies, right? Here's the full release list:

Playable content
  • Metal Gear Solid Database (free)
  • Pursuit Force full PSP game (£14.99/€19.99)
  • Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 demo (free)
Add-on content
 Videos
  • Call of Duty: World at War Reveal Trailer
  • Prince of Persia Debut trailer
  • PAIN Characters trailer
  • Prince Caspian trailer

Worldwide PS3 releases for the week of June 22nd

Good grief, where did all these games come from? There's a lot to choose from, especially if you're in the US or Europe. Despite the quantity, there's not a huge amount of overall quality. The only games in the list worth looking at are Overlord, Bourne and Battlefield. Don't be downhearted, Asians. You've finally got your hands on The Darkness. Only a year late, then. Here's the full release list:

US Games EU Games
 Asian Games
 Go ahead and grab any of the above games for yourself, regardless of region. Your PS3 loves it (but DLC might be an issue, so keep that in mind). Releases dates are, as The Doctor would say, in a constant flux. So don't blame us if the above list is incorrect. Check with your local retailer before getting too excited.

[UPDATE] Apologies for leaving Battlefield out of the US list, but the Gamestop website didn't have it on their upcoming games list. According to them it's already out, so it passed us by.

Gosh it's been a long time since we last used this image.

European PSN update for June 19th

Filed under: New Releases, PlayStation Store, News

An eclectic assortment of goodies or the EU PSN Store this week. While nothing jumps out at us as must-grabs (and we're lamenting the lack of the Metal Gear Solid Database), this is a solid update with lots to choose from. Here's the full release list:

Playable content
  • Civilization Revolution demo (free)
  • Dark Sector demo (free)
Add-on content
  • Warhawk "Booster Combo Pack" (contains Operation Omega Dawn and Operation Broken Mirror) (£4.99/€??)
  • Guitar Hero III Coldplay track pack (£3.99/€5.99)
  • Everybody's Golf: World Tour "Oceania Resort Course" add-on pack (£2.99/€??)
  • High Stakes Poker add-on pack (free)

Worldwide PS3 releases for the week of June 15th

Metal Gear Solid 4 will continue to be the most played game outside of Europe this week, as there are no new titles to pick up in the US or Asia. Europeans have a relatively strong week with two decent titles and a few pieces of potential shovelware.

US Games

No new releases

EU Games Asian Games

Don't forget, release dates are constantly subject to change. So be sure to check with your local retailer if you're uncertain.

European PSN updates for June 12th

Filed under: New Releases, PlayStation Store, News

We've been used to getting more from SCEE over the last few weeks, so this update may seem a bit small. Considering most people will be busy playing Metal Gear Solid 4 and Metal Gear Online for the next few weeks (at least), we don't particularly mind. Despite that, there are two demos and an add-on pack for Guitar Hero III, so it's not a complete wash. Here's the full release list:

Playable content
  • Enemy Territory: Quake Wars demo (free)
  • Monster Madness demo (free)
Add-on content
Videos
 Wallpapers and Themes
  • PixelJunk Monsters Rainbow theme
  • PixelJunk Monsters Bee wallpaper

Worldwide PS3 releases for the week of June 8th

Are you ready for the biggest PS3 release so far this year? There's some other stuff coming out today but, frankly, who cares? Metal Gear Solid 4 makes its long-awaited arrival this week and we'll be grabbing it the minute it's out. Here's the full release list:

US Games EU Games
 Asian Games

European PSN Store update for June 5th

Posted Jun 5th 2008 6:00AM by Jem Alexander
Filed under: New Releases, PlayStation Store

Another pleasing update. Demos, add on packs and PS1/PSP games are always welcome. We didn't really expect to see the God of War Guitar Hero III pack arriving in Europe before the US. As for Toy Home: Second Gear, that's a nice little surprise as well. Here's the full release list:

Playable content
  • Battlefield: Bad Company demo (free)
  • Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit demo (free)
  • Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six PS1 game (£3.49/€4.99)
  • Killzone Liberation PSP game (£14.99/€19.99)
Add-on content
  • Guitar Hero III "God of War Theme" track pack (free)
  • Guitar Hero III "Motorhead" track pack (£3.99/€5.99
  • Toy Home "Second Gear" add-on pack (£2.99/€3.99)
Videos
Okay SCEE, let's call it quits. Keep this up and we'll have nothing to complain about. Regular PS1 titles and content hitting on the same day as the US Store is exactly what we've been after for the last year. The lack of NovaStrike is unsurprising, but it'll be with us next week, right SCEE?

European PSN updates for May 29th

Nom nom nom. What a lot of tasty treats we have today. It's not often we can say this, but almost everything in the following list is worth a download. Now might be the time to lower your pitchforks and torches as Europeans can finally get their hands on Super Puzzle Fighter. Here's the full release list:

Playable content
  • Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix full game (£6.99/€9.99)
  • Rayman PS1 game (£3.49/€4.99)
  • Medievil Resurrection PSP game (£14.99/€19.99)
Add-on content
 Videos
 Themes and wallpapers
 Between Puzzle Fighter, Rayman and Medievil Resurrection, we're going to have a busy weekend. As for those Prince of Persia wallpapers from Ubidays, the art style is so gorgeous we're almost tempted to have them replace Snake as our XMB backdrop. Almost. We can't believe we're saying it, but keep up the good work, Sony!

Worldwide PS3 releases for the week of May 25th

Less than three weeks to go until Metal Gear Solid 4. In the meantime, however, there are still a number of titles trickling out and this week is no exception. We haven't heard (or reported) much on Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, but it's out this week to battle against Haze for the title of Mediocre FPS of the Month. Oh no we didn't. Here's the full release list:

US Games

EU Games
 Asian Games
Feel free to indulge your PS3 in games imported from other regions. It just loves getting a new exotic taste every so often. That's what it told us anyway. Also, it said that you smell. You might want to look into that. Release dates are constantly in a state of flux, so don't be surprised if the above info turns out to be incorrect in whole or in part. Check with your local retailer for up to the minute release info.

European PSN updates for May 22nd

No full games today, but a plethora of demos and a long-awaited add-on pack make this a worthwhile update. If you're getting tired of games (it can happen, apparently) then make sure you grab the HD Indiana Jones 4 trailer. Here's the full release list:

Playable content
  • Bourne Conspiracy demo (free)
  • Iron Man demo (free)
  • Everybody's Golf 2 "Beginner's demo" for PSP (free)
  • Everybody's Golf 2 "Intermediate demo" for PSP (free)
  • Ultimate Board Games Collection demo for PSP (free)
Add-on content
  • High Stakes: Poker Video Chat pack (free)
  • 8x Go!Explore map packs (£14.99/€19.99 each)
Lots of love for PSP owners today and we're happy to see that. It's also nice to see the Bourne Conspiracy demo finally make an appearance, even if it was supposed to be available two weeks ago. Check after the jump for the list of videos, wallpapers and themes.

Worldwide PS3 releases for the week of May 18th

It's been a long time coming, but Haze finally makes it out this week. Free Radical's story driven FPS has been delayed almost countless times since its intended release last November. Now, at last, we're able to begin a Nectar bender that will, hopefully, last until June 12th. Here's the full release list:

US Games
 EU Games
 Asian Games
Americans can also look forward to the release of SingStar, a game their cousins across the pond have been enjoying since before Christmas. We look forward to seeing videos of drunken Americans popping up on My SingStar Online over the next few weeks. We've noticed that Play.com are already stating that Haze is in stock and ready to be dispatched. No idea if that means you'll get it before Friday, but it's worth a try.

Not that you need to, considering Haze has a global release, but feel free to import any of the above games. Your PS3 will run them all. Release dates are constantly subject to change, so make sure to check with your local retailer before doing anything rash.

Who fancies playing some games? Okay, okay. Calm down. There's enough to go around. No, really. There actually is. SCEE has laid on a sumptuous spread of content for today's PSN Store update. Between Dark Mist, the Overlord demo, PixelJunk Monsters: Encore and myriad trailers and themes, there's something for everyone. Here's the full release list:

Playable content
  • Dark Mist full game (£4.99/€7.99)
  • C&C Red Alert PS1 game for PS3/PSP (£3.49/€4.99)
  • WipEout Pure full PSP game (£14.99/€19.99)
  • Overlord demo (free)
Add-on content
  • PixelJunk Monsters: Encore expansion (£1.99/€2.99)
  • Everybody's Golf: World Tour "Alex" character (£0.69/€0.99)
  • Everybody's Golf: World Tour "Gloria" character (£0.69/€0.99)
Surprised? So are we. Pleasantly so, we might add. SCEE are actually on their way to providing a decent PSN Store for their territory. We'd go so far as to say we are impressed. Now there's something we never thought we'd say ...
