Last week’sPlayStation Network Update left a lot to be desired. I blame the flu. This week is much better for the PSP, but the PS3 is still flapping in the wind. I think they’re saving everything up for in-game XMB week… whenever that is.
The PlayStation Portable sees the release of theflOwport ($7.99). The not-really-a-game looks great on the PSP, and you’ll find that it eats just as many zoned-out hours of your life as the PS3 version did. The PSP also gets the monkey minigame madness ofApe Escape: On the Loose($14.99).
The PS3 only has one downloadable game this week:Rocketmen: Axis of Evil($9.99). This 124MB title, based on WizKids tabletop game, looks pretty slick. There’s also a demo if you’d like to try before you buy.
As always, the week’s add-on game content comes fromGuitar Hero IIIandRock Band.Guitar Herogets the Modern Metal Pack ($6.25) which includes songs from Avenged Sevenfold, Thrice, and Deftones.Rock Bandrocks a Grateful Dead Pack ($9.99).
As for other goodies, there’s aLost PlanetPS3 theme, aCondemned 2: Bloodshotwallpaper, a game video ofNBA Ballers: The Chosen One, and a couple of movie trailers.
This is the calm before the storm, right? Sony?
