Hmm… it’s still a good update this week for the European PlayStation Store, but not quite up to the standard of previous additions to the service.
But don’t lose heart! We’ve got a Quantum Theory demo to look forward to! Also, a downloadable game called Top Gun! Also, downloadable content for Mafia II, Dragon Age: Origins and Transformers: War for Cyberton.
Let’s not forget about a bunch of great price reductions on some interesting games, and the usual assortment of themes, wallpapers and Avatars, and new songs for Singstar, Rock Band and Guitar Hero.
Hey, this update isn’t looking so bad after all!
Head on down below to see the full list of content soon to become available on the European PlayStation Store:
It’s been a busy week for EA and BioWare with downloadable content for Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect 2 being released upon the world.
The Dragon Age: Origins DLC pack, titled ‘Witch Hunt,’ is now available on the PlayStation Network for $6.99, on the Xbox 360 for 560 MS Points and on the PC for 560 BioWare Points. Witch Hunt is said to feature a story that “reconnects players with one of the series’ original larger-than-life heroes, Morrigan.”
Another great content update on the European PlayStation Store? Fantastic, and just what I was looking forward to! Thanks Sony!

Downloadable content (DLC) for both Dragon Age: Origins and Red Dead Redemption also feature today, and Shin Megami Tensei: Persona for PSP is available for purchase and download as well.
Also today we… oh, what’s this? We’re getting a live incoming report from our European PlayStation Blog correspondent, Mike Kebby, who brings us this important message:
“UPDATE: I’ve just been given the information about a new addition for PlayStation Plus today; Plus subscribers will have two week’s early access to PixelJunk Racers 2nd Lap and have a 20% discount on it too. However, if you already own PixelJunk Racers then 2nd Lap is free.”
Excellent stuff, thanks for that update Mike!

[Update] Added first trailer for Golems of Amgarrak, as well as the release date. [End of Update]
Bioware has announced the name of the next piece of downloadable content (DLC) for the studio’s Dragon Age: Origins RPG, while releasing further details and a solitary screenshots to further explain the content.
Set to be available on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 for $5, Golems of Amgarrak is a new adventure for Dragon Age that will task players with venturing deep underground in search of a missing dwarven expedition, which set out to find “ancient secrets for creating monstrous constructs.”
At the end of a seemingly innocent press release announcing that EA would be taking over publishing and service rights of Warhammer Online in Europe, there lay hidden some delectable information for fans of the publisher’s RPG, Dragon Age.
Concealed within a mound of legal jargon and ‘About’ information that no-one ever reads, was confirmation that Bioware is indeed working on Dragon Age 2, “the highly anticipated sequel to 2009’s ‘RPG of the Year’ Dragon Age: Origins.”
Today’s European PlayStation Store Update will bring with it new and exciting content for both the PlayStation 3 and PSP, with new add-on content, downloadable games, themes, wallpapers and videos.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 players on PS3 will finally be able to get the second multiplayer map pack, Resurgence, while Dragon Age: Origins players can get their hands on a new gameplay episode called Leliana’s Song. LittleBigPlanet gamers can purchase and download a range of Marvel-themed costumes, and ModNation Racers owners will be able to get a Twisted Metal ‘Sweet Tooth’ character and Kart.
Gamers looking for an excellent adventure game will need not look further than Monkey Island 2: Special Edition – LeChuck’s Revenge, and Rock Band and Guitar Hero players have a few new tracks to look forward to as well.
Head on down below to see the full list of content set to hit the European PlayStation Store in just a few hours:
Fans of specific game franchises are in for special treats this week with the latest US PlayStation Store update, as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Dragon Age: Origins, LittleBigPlanet, MAG and ModNation Racers all get downloadable content to freshen up the games.
Also, Monkey Island 2: Special Edition – LeChuck’s Revenge is available today to purchase and download – miss at your own peril.
An enormous range of special price offers (not to mention the offers included in a PlayStation Plus subscription), interesting videos, wallpapers and themes, as well as the usual assortment of Rock Band and Guitar Hero tracks, are all available on the US PlayStation Store today, too.
Have a look through the full list of new content now available on the US PlayStation Store below:
Bioware has announced that brand new downloadable content for two of the celebrated developer’s latest games, Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age: Origins, is now available for you to purchase and download.
For players of Mass Effect 2, you’ll be interested to know about the new Aegis Pack which adds the M-29 Incisor sniper rifle (“a burst-fire weapon that excels in destroying enemy shields”), as well as the Kestrel armour to your in-game locker.
Bioware has announced that a new set of downloadable content (DLC) will be appearing next month for the developer’s massive (enormous, gigantic, gargantuan) fantasy RPG, Dragon Age: Origins.
BioWare has seen fit to release details about the new Darkspawn Chronicles DLC pack for their popular RPG Dragon Age: Origins. News of the DLC pack first emerged yesterday when Major Nelson revealed the upcoming Xbox Live Marketplace schedule, but now we even have two screenshots of the DLC to marvel over.
The Darkspawn Chornicles DLC pack will be available across Europe for the Xbox 360 and PC on the 18th of May for 400 MS Points and 400 BioWare points respectively. The DLC will also be arriving on the PlayStation Network but a release date will only be announced later.
At the beginning of the week, Bioware (Mass Effect, Dragon Age: Origins) announced an initiative called the Bioware Bazaar, a mock online auction in which members of the Bioware community are able to earn tokens for completing certain tasks, and then spend those tokens on special prizes and rare, sponsored collectible items.
The problem is that this event is currently only available to citizens of the United States due to a last-minute legal snag, effectively locking out Bioware’s truly global community of fans from participating.
Fear not, though, as in a very special forum post, Bioware’s co-founders Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk addressed the situation, first by apologising to the developer’s fans, and then by announcing that, pretty soon, international members of the community will get their own version of the Bioware Bizaar. From the post:
Update Bioware has finally managed to get the message out, and has announced something called ‘Bioware Bazaar,’ a week-long series of online auctions.
You can find the details over here. End of Update
Bioware’s announcement countdown clock has ticked down, but as the last second struck, the developer’s entire online infrastructure crashed with it, as a horde of eager enthusiasts no doubt rushed to see what the fuss is all about.
I’ll be keeping an eye on the various websites to try and get to the bottom of what Bioware’s was trying to let the world know, but for now, it’s a mystery.
