EU PlayStation Store update 13th July

It's a quiet week for the PlayStation Store. Sony's Welcome Back offer has ended and the company has now caught up with the backlog left by the PSN downtime.

There are no new PS3 or PSP games to download, but a few decent dollops of DLC.

A day after its launch on Xbox 360, PS3 owners can now investigate Rockstar's final L.A. Noire episode. The Reefer Madness vice case pits Cole Phelps against a city-wide dope ring and is free for those who own the Rockstar Pass.

Want some freebies for MotorStorm Apocalypse? The Rock Livery Pack provides some new car decals, while the Dynamo: Queen of Hearts Event Pack adds six new challenges.

Elsewhere, gamers can nab a free trial of colourful bullet blaster PixelJunk Shooter 2. Meanwhile, top-down co-operative zombie slayer Dead Nation becomes available as a trial and unlock demo.

There's also a wardrobe of Final Fantasy outfits for LittleBigPlanet 2, if your Sackboy is the cosplaying type. Fan favourites Cloud, Tifa, Sephiroth and Aerith feature.

And that's about it. We can only look in envy at this week's US PlayStation Store update. Over the pond, players get a summer sale with Back to the Future, Pac-Man and Dead Space DLC discounted. US gamers also get a demo of Catherine (on the US Xbox 360 marketplace now too), although the current lack of a European publisher rules out a similar demo here.

Here's the full European list, courtesy of the European PlayStation Blog.
