PSN update: bundles of DLC on offer

By Robert Purchese Published 24 April, 2009

Plus: Red Faction, UFC demos.

There's lots to buy on the PlayStation Store this week, plus free samples of Red Faction Guerrilla UFC 2009 Undisputed to try.

Episode two of Penny Arcade Adventures finally shows up but, being non-essential, will need careful consideration before purchase. I've heard that one before. The excellent Exit turns digital-download for PSP, which also receives a Chessmaster game and a couple of PSone oldies.

Saints Row 2 leads the additional content charge with Ultor Exposed (we've just published our review), but there's DLC offered for Godfather II, HAWX, Midnight Club: LA, SmackDown 2009 and Mahjong Tales as well. Plus, LittleBigPlanet gets another dose of the planned April content.

And, of course, there's plenty for Rock Band and Guitar Hero World Tour.

Thanks, Joystiq.

    Godfather II = the Don of rip-off dlc for this week!

  • collateral89 #2 3 years ago

    ye big rip off

  • 3william56 #3 3 years ago

    Future Cop LAPD was a brilliant but underrated game.
    Would be an interesting remake, especially the strange vs. mode if it was put online.

  • cherryuk #4 3 years ago

    Nothing again worth going for this week - you're boring me PSN - only Outrun last week was a peak of desire

  • Rirekon #5 3 years ago

    # Red Faction Guerrilla demo (free)
    # UFC 2009 Undisputed demo (free)

    Available on XBLA for gold subscribers

    UFC'09 demo:
    Been waiting for this and i’m glad to say it delivers very nicely!

    Amazing graphics and animation, realistic movements too, the sweat on the fighters are so real, more so than Fight Night series.

    Loving the ringside commentary and replay highlights, it’s really a brutal and intense atmosphere when you get them stunned and you gear up for a knockout! I managed to get different knockouts and tko’s in the last two matches. Will put it into higher difficulty setting and trying different things.

    The game runs fast and smooth, the moves are responsive and there is a lot to learn in the game, its got a deep fighting system, great stuff!

    Was thinking of getting Fight Night 4 but it’s going to feel pretty limited when compared to this beauty!

    Goddamn Volition and their no PC demo bullshit!

  • Doctor_What #8 3 years ago

    @ NinjaWilliams : were you paid to say that? In BOLD?

    @ EG/Rob : thanks for starting up listing the new music game tracks again :) I've never heard of those songs, but it's nice to have the info.

    Anyway, The Red Faction demo looks interesting. I'm hoping for Crackdown on Mars with a reasonably decent story.

    evilfoxhound - Might want to check the article from the guy I despise <a href="http://www. digitalfoundry.org/blog/?p=670">here on the Digital Foundry</a href>. Big surprises there. Nice range of pictures and videos for those who can make up their own minds though, so a nice page to visit.

  • Darren #10 3 years ago

    Hurray for PSN and non-discriminatory free demos!

    I was going to download both the UFC 09 and Red Faction demos from the 360 Marketplace until I remembered that I'd cancelled my Gold subscription (which was long overdue). Sure I only have to wait a few days before I can download them but I think it sucks that Microsoft limit what is effectively a promotional tool (i.e. advert) in order to get people to pay for a Gold subscription. These are FREE demos, Microsoft!!!

  • Darren #11 3 years ago

    @evilfoxhound - Unless you see anti-aliasing as a bad thing then I can't see how the PS3 version can look better than the 360 version since the latter has 2X AA whereas the former doesn't. So it's the usual jaggy multiformat game that you typically get on the PS3, fine if you like a sharp image but I think it looks ugly personally.

    The console versions look a bit shonky to me and the disgraceful amount of tearing (almost 50% according to Digital Foundry) is just typical Volition. I'm half expecting the game to ship with glitches and bugs galore like Saints Row 2. It does look fun though but I'm holding out for the (hopefully) superior PC version.

  • Sir_TimAlot #12 3 years ago

    From vids i had seen of RF demo i thought it looked a bit barebones but having played the demo i will be buying this on release, looking forward to this one, demo was a very good idea in this instance.

  • Malek86 #14 3 years ago

    Mh, might have to check out LAPD. Maybe I can play it on the PSP.

  • Figgernaggot #15 3 years ago

    "They could be doing it by accident and not setting equipment up correctly. Either that or (Conspiracy theory alert!) money is exchanging hands."

    It's very insulting, and probably illegal to insinuate such claims.

  • Ryze #16 3 years ago

    Here we go - keep it up, and encourage PSP versions of these titles for the new PSP with touchscreen, tilt sensing, bluetooth, and built in flash.







    ...right analogue stick too, by the way.

    I think there's a mistake in the article, Future Cop LAPD is the original PS1 game, for PS3, I presume Championship Bass is as well.

    "Future Cop LAPD was a brilliant but underrated game.
    Would be an interesting remake, especially the strange vs. mode if it was put online."

    Totally agree, I was really disappointed that there was never a sequel. Was there even anything even particularly similar to it apart from the preceding Strike games? If there was a remake, it's sorely in need of some save points.
