Happy New Year and welcome to the first PlayStation Store update for 2012! It's going to be an exciting year with lots to look forward to on PlayStation Network, so with that said, let's get to the good stuff.

With football action in full swing, now may be the perfect time to up the action with NFL Blitz; especially if your favorite team might not be looking so good to make it to the playoffs!

Rewrite your season with the arcade-style gameplay that made the original a hit, packed with the immersive game modes of today. NFL Blitz is recharged and available now on PlayStation Network.

New PSN Game release TNT Racers also races to the PlayStation Store today. Featuring lightning fast racing action, diverse multiplayer modes, cool tracks and snappy gadgets, TNT Racers may be just the kick you need to jump start your year.

As mentioned in the PlayStation Plus January Sneak Peek post, Plus subscribers are able to download the entire Back to the Future The Game - Full Series, free for the entire month! Additional free content this month includes PSN Game Sword and Soldiers, and PS one Classics Syphon Filter, Syphon Filter 2 and Syphon Filter 3; all available...

73w ago - Following up on the previous releases, today Matlo has updated his PlayStation 3 project which allows users to use a Mouse, Keyboard or Joystick to control their PS3 to version 0.25.

He has also renamed the project from "Sixaxis Emulator" to "Game Input Multiplexer".

Download: SixEmu v0.25-1 AMD64.DEB - GIMX: Linux Package (64bits) / SixEmu v0.25-1 i386.DEB - GIMX: Linux Package (32bits) / Setup v0.25 GIMX (Windows) / PS3 Game Input Multiplexer v0.25 (Mirror) / SVN

To quote: The application receives data from PC peripherals (mice, joysticks and keyboards) and sends checks to the PS3 via Bluetooth or USB. Other controls, such as gestures or voice are possible through the emulation of PC peripherals.

Changelog for v0.25:

• The joystick now works / joysticks names are filled in gimx-config

73w ago - Sony PlayStation Store Director Grace Chen is here with the last US PSN update for 2011, as follows below:

We say goodbye to 2011 with one last PlayStation Store update; just in time for those looking to warm the winter nights with some great content from PlayStation Network.

New PSN Games this week include All Zombies Must Die. This twin-stick shooter is taken to lofty new heights with a bevy of RPG features, four player co-op and optional PlayStation Move support.

You'll also want to check out Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD. This remake of the influential original puts you in the shoes of the High Plains Drifter with an all new coat of paint that you won't want to miss.

The Splinter Cell HD Collection released earlier this year, but it's now broken up into individual games. Want to pick up only one title in the trilogy? Now you can. The original Trilogy bundle is of course, still available, and may stand as the better deal should you wish to purchase all three.

Two great new additions in the PS3 Full Game category are also arriving this week. For an amazing gaming experience for all ages, you can now download Carnival Island, playable with PlayStation Move. Packed with a ton of great games and activities, you'll be amazed how it uses the Move controller...
