The biggest news from both the US and European PlayStation Store updates this week is the release of The Punisher: No Mercy, a singleplayer and multiplayer ultra-violent first-person shooter set in Marvel’s iconic universe.
The usual assortment of new Rock Band, Guitar Hero: World Tour and game downloadable content (DLC), as well as game videos and PS3 themes, are included in the update.
The full list of content now available on both the European and US PlayStation Stores follows below:
Zen Studios has announced that its Marvel Comic-inspired first person shooter The Punisher: No Mercy is now available on the PlayStation Store in both North America and Europe for $9.99. This announcement comes despite earlier reports from the studio that the game would be delayed in Europe.
The publisher also announced that a free demo of the game will also be available to download on the PlayStation Network from today. The demo will allow players to “sample the fast-paced action of the Marvel Comics-inspired first-person shooter with two of the eight levels from the original version of the game.”
Thought to be releasing today after a reveal via Marvel Entertainment’s quarter one financial report, it’s now been confirmed that today is indeed not the day that Marvel VS Capcom 2 releases, although a few new screenshots have been released in its stead.
The much admired 2D fighter, featuring characters from the lineage of Capcom games, as well as fan-favourites from the Marvel universe, is set to release on Xbox LIVE Arcade and the PlayStation Network around the end of July, give or take, according to a Twitter tweet by Capcom by Capcom:
“MvC2 is not actually coming out on June 29, sorry guys. Not sure where that rumor came from, but it’s going to be closer to the end of July.”
In the meantime, though, you may as well enjoy some new screenshots from the game, below:
The Punisher: No Mercy, releasing exclusively on the PlayStation Network on July 2nd (this week, in the US) for $9.99, has been slightly scarce on the release of visual media to showcase the game, especially in-game video footage.
With the release of a new trailer for the Marvel Comic inspired singleplayer and online multiplayer shooter, however, we can now get a more accurate glimpse at what looks to be an ultra violent first-person shooter, which goes heavy on the ketchup.
Watch the latest trailer for The Punisher: No Mercy below:
Massachusetts based Creat Studios is a group that have been developing games for over 10 years (most notably Tony Hawk’s Motion on the DS and Coded Arms: Contagion on the PSP), but they have only recently begun publishing games on the PlayStation Network. They created really solid puzzle games with Mahjong Tales: Ancient Wisdom, Cuboid and Magic Ball and have since released new downloadable content for these popular games to keep gamers’ minds puzzling.
Creat Studios is also working on Smash Cars, a follow up to the developer’s 2003 no rules radio controlled racing game, as well as two other PlayStation Network games announced at E3, Digger and Mushroom Wars, and their first DSiWare game, Alien Havoc.
It’s been revealed that, during its first two weeks on sale on the PlayStation Store, Final Fantasy VII has managed to wrack up a whopping 100 000 downloads, quickly becoming the fastest selling original PlayStation game available on the PlayStation Network.
Not content with millions of sales from the original release on both the PlayStation and PC, nor remaining happy with sales generated from the numerous game and movie spinoffs, Square Enix must surely be pleased with sales like this on the PS3, paving the way for more re-releases and, perhaps, even proving that a next-generation Final Fantasy VII remake would be enthusiastically received.
It’s probably safe to say, though, that most of those 100 000 downloads were from people who have either already played Final Fantasy VII, or still own the original…
The game weighs in at 1.32 GB and currently sells for $9.99 on the PlayStation Store. Will you get it? If you’re a Final Fantasy fan, the answer is obvious.

Last month Canadian based indie studio Capybara Games first introduced us to technicolour barf in the debut trailer for their upcoming PSN arcade-puzzler Critter Crunch.
Watch this interview with Co-Founder and President of Capy, Nathan Vella, that Chris Morell recently posted on SCEA’s PlayStation Blog to find out more about the game. Vella discusses to the food chain mechanic in Critter Crunch as well as competitive and co-op multiplayer modes. He also discusses some interesting trophies in the game including one for barfing and one called ‘Feats of Constipation.’
PixelJunk developer Q-Games has released some information about the two player mode in their upcoming game PixelJunk Shooter.
According to Dylan Cuthbert, President and Executive Producer of Q Games, “we’ve tried to make co-op as de-stressed as possible, so even if your player’s ship gets hit by something or overheats and starts crashing towards the ground, you can pop out your extendible hook thing (no official name for this yet - “Grabber” perhaps?) and grab your friend (he’s a bit heavy tho, so watch out), then you can carry him to the nearest pool of water and dunk him in to restore his health. If you don’t manage to grab him in time, he’ll just re-spawn near you and you’ll be docked a life.”
