There’s a lot to look forward to on the PlayStation Store this week, with new games and deals galore pleading for your hard-earned cash.
To kick things off, Sony’s action-packed prequel in the God of War saga, God of War: Ascension, releases both digitally and at retail, complete with a story that kicks off six months after the death of Kratos’ family and 8-player multiplayer for your enjoyment. Capcom’s supernatural fighter, Darkstalkers: Resurrection, releases in a two-game bundle that includes Night Warriors: Darkstalkers Revenge and Darkstalkers 3 in spruced up high-definition with GGPO netcode, in-game achievements, and more. To round out the new releases, two PSN exclusives are set to launch, with Psych Yourself and Puzzle By Nikoli V: Sudoku, the latter of which is for the Vita. In addition, two titles are getting the digital treatment, with Tecmo-Koei’s Quantum Theory and Mastiff’s military shooter, Heavy Fire: Shattered Spear, ready to download straight to your PS3.
You can also look forward to several new demos, with EA’s Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel, Fuel Overdose, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge, and Darkstalkers: Resurrection for you to take for a spin. A Koei classic, Kessen II, will be the lone PlayStation 2 classic this week, but if you’re interested in PSOne Imports, there are a whopping seven titles for you to check out. These include:
