Mushroom Wars, Ratchet space on PSN News

We're still waiting for a full PlayStation Store update list from Sony, but in the meantime the European PlayStation Blog advises us to expect Creat Studios' latest, Mushroom Wars, and a new Ratchet & Clank space for Home.

Mushroom Wars will cost £7.99 / €9.99 and is described as a "fast-paced and accessible RTS", where up to four players fight in close quarters - on a single screen, judging by the video. There are campaign and skirmish modes along with local four-player options.

Meanwhile, the new "Gadgetron HQ" brings everyone's favourite Lombax and his robot pal to PlayStation Home with a special Ratchet outfit to find, a Ratchet apartment to hang out in, and three mini-games, including a tower defence effort known as Skunk Works.

It's all tied in to the forthcoming launch of Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time, as you might imagine. That's due out for PS3 on 6th November according to retailers, which would tie in with the review embargo of next week. Look out for our thoughts then.
