74w ago - Today Andy Stewart of the Playstation Store Team is here with this weeks European PSN Game Store updates, as follows:

First off I should mention that we had a late submission and now Jurassic Park: The game is available from the store if you have not seen it there already. We also have the highly requested Dungeon Defenders where you and four friends can try and stop the horde of enemies taking over the dungeons.

I am also excited to see that Oddworlds: Stranger's Wrath HD in on the store today; this is one not to miss. As well as the HD remakes of ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, two of my favourite games from back in the day.

And to 'wrap up' (see what I did there?) we have The King of Fighters XIII demo available on the store today.

So that's it for another week and for 2011. All that is left to say is have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year on and all. Hopefully will see some of you online. BYE!!!

74w ago - Sony PlayStation Store Director Grace Chen is here with this weeks US PSN updates today, as follows:

The year is almost over, but the flow of great content on the PlayStation Store doesn't let up. This week, we see the release of some great PSN Games, an amazing new series of Themes, and some expansive Add-Ons.

This week, pick up Sonic CD and Trine 2. Sonic CD is the much anticipated re-release of one of the most sought after Sonic games. Critically acclaimed, but a rare gem due to its release on the SEGA CD system, this is one Sonic experience everyone should play.

For a more co-op experience, download Trine 2. This sequel to the action platform puzzler comes with a new multiplayer mode allowing up to 3 players to take on the roles of wizard, thief and knight. Don't miss it.

We're also proud to release a new series of Themes for your PS3 and PSP that will add an unprecedented visual overhaul to your XMB. "The Studio", created by bleeding edge visual gurus at Studio Output, features the work of some of the world's leading graphic, street, fashion and digital artists.

74w ago - Sony PlayStation Network Executive Producer Kevin Furuichi has posted up a preview of their PULSE 12/20 Edition, which features the Year in Review below.

To quote: As 2011 draws to a close, join Christina Lee for a look back at some of the year's most memorable games. From Sackboy's return in LittleBigPlanet 2 to Nathan Drake's epic adventure in UNCHARTED 3: Drake's Deception, this year was one of the biggest in recent memory.

From the big shooters like Killzone 3 and Battlefield 3 to surprises such as PSN exclusives Eufloria and inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood, the year also included a dramatic redesign of PlayStation Home and a beautiful compilation of the beloved Ico & Shadow of the Colossus collection.

We know this only scratches the surface and there's plenty of titles PULSE didn't have time to mention, but we hope you enjoy a walk through another amazing year for our industry.





And, remember you can watch the full edition of PULSE from the 'What's New' section on your XMB later today when the PlayStation Store updates.

Have a safe and happy holiday and look for PULSE to return in mid-January.
