EU PlayStation Store update 13th April

An eggsellent Easter sale.

There's a massive Easter/spring sale on the European PlayStation Store today.

Borderlands is down to £16, Pac-Man Championship Edition DX to £4, Noby Noby Boy to £2, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light to £5.10, God of War HD Collection to £15, God of War: Chains of Olympus to £8 and God of War: Ghost of Sparta to £12. There are loads more discounts besides.

New PS3 games are headlined by Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes HD, which can be trialled before the £12 price paid. It's a strategical RPG with puzzle elements, and it's a well handled conversion of a brilliant DS game (8/10 - Eurogamer).

The accomplished Rush 'N Attack: Ex Patriot (8/10 - Eurogamer) can also be trialled today before the £8 price paid.

Today's full European PlayStation Store update can be found below the video, courtesy of the EU PlayStation blog.

The first 15 minutes of Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes.
