72w ago - Sony's Andy Stewart of the PlayStation Store Team is here with the first European Game Store and PS Plus updates for the new year today, as follows below:

Welcome to 2012, this year looks like it is going to be a big one for us at Sony with the launch of PSVita on 22nd February as well as some new (and old) games and content you have been requesting.

However sadly this week don't have loads coming to the store this week (which after Christmas and the Festive Sale might be a slight relief for your wallets) but what we do have I think will put a smile on your faces.

First off we have All Zombies Must Die, a must have for all you twin-stick shooter, zombie mayhem fans. We also have the PSone classic Wild Arms available from today and the Batman Arkham City - Challenge Map Pack to further test your cap crusading skills.

And just to finish off, I don't usually highlight avatars but the Warlords avatars we have coming to the store today I think look really cool, so check them out.

So that's it for another week from me, see you in the comments, BYE!!
