PlayStation Network Update: 02/07/2008
Published February 09, 2008
A fairly large download this week on the PSN. As is the norm, we see demos, songs, and some downloadable content. The major new item is Go! Sports Skydiving, a skydiving simulator that hopefully will be much better than the skiing game they released a few months ago in this line of games (it was basically unplayable). Sony has also released a new PS1 classic in the form of Crash Bandicoot: WARPED.
The major demo this week is Lost Planet, a former X360 exclusive; I am curious to try it to see if Capcom took care with the port or just slapped it together. We also see a free skin for MotorStorm to celebrate Chinese New Year and the compulsory Rock Band songs, the highlight for me being "Roam" (yeah, I know, but that song brings back memories).
Finally on the multimedia front we have a number of game videos for Burnout Paradise, Uncharted, MLB 08 and Conflict: Denied Ops as well as movie trailers for WALL•E and 30 Days of Night. Also as per the norm we see a new theme and a few new wallpapers (free, of course).
Once again Sony has delivered a solid update for us that should have something for everyone to enjoy.
