TV Show King released in PSN update

By Tom Bramwell Published 7 August, 2009

Plus: Juarez DLC, Batman demo.

Gameloft's TV Show King is pretty much the highlight in a rather dull update to the PlayStation Store this week, although PS3 owners do gain access to the much-trailed Batman: Arkham Asylum demo alongside one for Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic.

TV Show King costs £7.99 / €9.99 and is similar to the WiiWare launch title of the same name, which featured 3000 multiple-choice questions on a variety of topics for up to four people to play. This one has online modes too apparently.

Elsewhere there's the multiplayer map pack for Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood for £7.99 / €9.99, which introduces four new levels, while Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 gets another new course in Cog Hill for £3.19 / €3.99.

If you're still playing LittleBigPlanet you can cough up £1.59 / €1.99 for a costume to dress yourself up as Cole from inFamous, and fans of extraterrestrial tower defence game Savage Moon can grab a Waldgeist expansion for £3.19 / €3.99.

PSP owners have little to celebrate, sadly, unless they're sufficiently loony to take a punt on Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest for £15.99 / €19.99.

According to the European PlayStation blog, Sony had planned to include Extreme Pinball and some Fight Night Round 4 DLC in this week's update but these had to be postponed for one reason or another.

    Good work on another article slandering the PSN Store...ahem.

    One game, one demo, a lot of DLC, how is that a dull update? You also neglected to mention that Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 3 was also released...

    Question, why do you not provide similar articles (using the same condesending tone) discussing the 360 Marketplace releases every week? Perhaps then people will see that there are not always huge discrepancies between the 360 and PS3 online content as they may imagine.

    Articles on the download updates are pretty inconsistent, I only tracked WiiWare but some updates were posted, some not, some didn't even show in the weekly roundup.

    Anyway, now PS3 owners can get angry at getting casual shovelware, too!

    "Question, why do you not provide similar articles (using the same condesending tone) discussing the 360 Marketplace releases every week?"

    Let me get this straight. You are asking this question, on Eurogamer? Currently the 360 has the largest hardcore userbase. So EG will do what clicks with that particular userbase. After all, they don't want to alienate them, do they? Of course, this may change if someday the PS3 install/userbase edges past the 360 one. If that happens, you will see a change in EG's habit of slipping snide comments when referring to the PS3 and its games.

    It was more retorical that question :) - because as you've rightly hit the nail on the head, there does seem to be more leaning towards the 360 which I get, but the underhand sniping aimed at the PS3 is getting a bit much (at least based on articles like these).

    Heh, not the worst time to get ylod on my PS3, then. (altho I do wanna try the Batman demo!)

  • Kenshin001 #6 3 years ago

    Pretty sure people would be more interested in the Batman demo then TV Show King, so golf clap for Tom.

    @mikeck & man.the.king

    You're both absolutely right. The underhand sniping is just, well, part of pleasing the target audience as well. Some Microsoft fanboys want to feel assured through mockery of all things Sony, and endless repetitive "face-offs" that expose the RSX inferiority whenever the PS3 starts selling a bit more. Depending on a couple of truly fanboyish authors (really NOT the majority, thankfully), some reviews are heavily influenced as well.
