PlayStation Network Update: 02/21/2008
Published February 22, 2008
This week on the PSN we see a little bit of everything, we have demos, add-ons, videos and a full game. Of course we see the new Rock Band songs (still days later then on the Xbox 360) and we have the free Guitar Hero 3 song Dream On, free is always nice!
In the form of demos we see a demo for the Q games title PixelJunk Monsters, great little demo, the game is definitely deep and fun. On the PSP front we see the long awaited God of War: Chains of Olympus demo! I tried to get the mail out promotion for this and Canadians were exempt, so I will be happily playing this shortly (finally!).
On the multimedia front we have numerous game videos for MLB 08 the Show, Conflict: Denied Ops and Bionic Commando Rearmed. On the movie and Blu-Ray front we have trailers for Kung Fu Panda and We Own the Night.
Last but not least there is a Lair theme for us all to enjoy. A good update this week, solid if not remarkable.

Oh wait, its got single player fun with explosives now... I see what you did there. Sneaky. You took the multi player game mode and made it single player. Inventive. Oddly enough it is in the same downtown level. Really wonderful update.
Seeing God of War blinds me to all else! I do agree it could be better, but a demo (or two) a new PS1 game and some decent media is much better then this time last year when we saw wallpapers as our only content =-)

I guess you an I have a much different definition of "solid update." We get a demo that we should have got weeks ago, and a PS1 game. It is made slightly better for those who have not been playing the GOW demo for months now, but something is missing here.
What is it? Oh yes, its that PAIN update we were supposed to get. The mythical update that will turn the single-stage "game" (read: demo) into something that is not a disappointment.
And they can take the extra characters for $1 a piece and cram it up their ass.
Sony is really starting to disappointed me when it comes to DLC, and demos.
