A great PSN update with demos, games, PSOne classics and PSP updates.

PlayStation Network Update: 10/22/2009

Here we go! Another fantastic week on the PSN, deals, PSOne classics, demos, new games and tons of PSP digital releases. I love updates like this as there is so much to enjoy.

The big, huge news is Trine finally being released on the PSN. It is console exclusive to the PS3 (so far)and has been extremely well received on the PC thus far. This action puzzler has you switching between three characters in a beautiful world. Cannot wait to play this game.

We have some price drops, all for great games. If you do not own Siren, Burnout Paradise or Lumines Supernova you have no reason not to anymore. Bargain basement prices for these games and all of them amazing! The two PSOne Oddworld games are out this week on the PSN as well. These are great classic games and well worth a look see, plus they work on PSP, portable Oddworld FTW!

Demos abound this week, with the huge (in size and prominence) Ratchet And Clank Future: A Crack In Time – Clank Demo leading the charge. Not to be forgotten though are demos for the recently released Critter Crunch and the new Dragon Ball: Raging Blast game. All worth checking out today!

Aside from the Lumines and Way of the Samurai 3 add-ons not much is of note there, but there are a great many PSP games to download. Some great games are available and the pricing isn't completely out to lunch and that is certainly a good thing.

Tons of videos, themes and wallpapers are available. I am a little disappointed that the unlockable Uncharted videos are here for free, takes some of the incentive away from paying for them in game. But it is really nice to see the Dragon Age Origins videos, especially considering we now know the PS3 version of the game is launching on Nov. 3rd with all the other versions.

A great update, deals, games and demos, who could ask for more. For more details, please visit the official PlayStation Blog.

PlayStation 4 Review: ‘Risen 3: Titan Lords Enhanced Edition’ from Piranha Bytes

'Risen 3: Titan Lords' is a flawed, but deep pirate-themed, action roleplaying game. While the new Enhanced Edition's release lacked much fanfare, it is a significant upgrade. Unfortunately, the game still lacks the polish required for wider appeal.
