Monkey Island 2 leads PSN Store update

New offers, DLC, comics, demos, more.

Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck's Revenge joins the PlayStation Store today. This, like the first game, has been beautifully restored for a new set of eyes that aren't old and world-weary. And for those old-timers there is developer commentary and nostalgia to loosen a tear. Monkey Island 2 costs eight quid.

The PlayStation Store has a new batch of discounts to consider, none of which knock us silly, plus a slew of add-on game content. Dragon Age grows with Leilana's Song, Modern Warfare 2 finally receives the Resurgence Pack and Aliens vs. Predator gets some new maps.

Also worth pointing out is a demo for Patapon 3 on PSP.

On the Digital Comics Store there's a pile of reading to be done. Top of the list is issue 3 of Frank Miller's Batman: Year One.

PlayStation Home's also had a refresher and welcomes a WipEout area as well as some Monkey Island guff, Just Cause 2 threads, Street Fighter costumes and more. Oh, and Sony mentioned that the Hustle Kings event space will be removed next week.
