Due to the holiday in the USA this week, there will be no update for the PS Store on Thursday, as not many people will have time for games due to the family festivities. So to make sure we do get something fun this week, our store update is Tuesday. So let's get to work!

SALE!!!
Every now and again the PSN puts some oldie but goodies on sale, and it appears we some more of that this week. Starting today until next Thursday the following PSN games are at a reduced price of $4.99.
- The Last Guy - Have and my sister and I love.
- PixelJunk Eden - Great trippy platform game.
- echochrome (PS3) - Picked up tonight.
- Novastrike - Has Trophies that appear to be easy to obtain so I bought.
- Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 - Demo did not appeal to me.
Add-on
LittleBigPlanet RAWKS. To continue the awesomeness that is consuming mine and a few of my friend's souls, Media Molecule releases more costumes for our beloved Sackperson. For free, to help the USA celebrate Turkey day, LBP can download the Turkey Head Constume. Looks pretty funny, and I think when combined with another random body piece from another set it could be quite enjoyable.
However I think the real fun comes with the Chimera costume today. For $1.99 you can gear your Sackperson up as the not so loveable Chimera from the Resistance series. As I'm currently playing through R2, now using a Chimera dressed Sackperson to torment the levels of LBP with a nice mean looking Chimera!
Guitar Hero World Tour comes through this week with three new songs from The Killers. As usual they're priced at $1.99 a piece but come wrapped up in a nice bundle for $5.49.
Rock Band Thursday arrives early this week with some of the same songs available in GHWT and then some. Looks like we have two more packs today and 9 individual songs. Three from The Killers, three from Yngwie Malmsteen - who I've never in my life heard of, two songs from Soundgarden and a lonely song from Lamb of God. Each of the songs is the usual $1.99 and the two 3 packs are each $5.49. Further reason why this game isn't for me, is the fact that I've never heard of most of these bands/groups. I've heard of The Killers and Soundgarden but that's it. Well RAWK out on Rock Band Tuesday!
Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol Encore 2 has made an appearance two weeks in a row! Showing up with 4 total songs, each song running $1.49 and must be bought individually. Would have been nice if there was a "Gimme it all" button with a nice rounded out price tag on it. But I guess it's American Idol, and they have to find any excuse to ruin your idea of music. I'm sorry, did I mention I have an extreme dislike for American Idol?
Demos
Few weeks after the release of Dead Space and all the extra videos that have been available, we finally get a sampling of the game itself. I know three friends who have or are playing this game and they all seem to really enjoy it. One of which bought nearly all of the additional DLC that released last week. I'm on the fence about buying this one, but mainly because of all the games I have to play. 3 new PSN games today, other PSN games I haven't played a lot of lately, a full Blu-Ray game that I haven't played since the developer won't finish the game. (Yeah, I'm looking at you Slant6.) So I'm just too busy to pick this title up, much like Fallout 3. So I'll pick this up so I can get a true feel for the game and then decide if I should get it with the eventual Christmas gift cards.
Games
Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix has been a long time coming, and finally the wait is over. New HD visuals, new backgrounds, some re-balancing of characters and online play has been added. I've always sucked at fighting games, but I've always enjoyed Street Figher the most. So I absolutely dropped the $14.99 required for this gem and have been stinking it up here and there all evening. I really hope Capcom gets on this and releases Trophies for it soon , as well as adding Trophies for Bionic Commando: Rearmed. I'd recommend this to any fighting game enthusiast, though I'm sure I didn't have to recommend it.
Brain Challenge seems to be a Brain Age type puzzler for the PSP that's available at the PC Store through the Media Manager or through the PS3. From what I can gather there are a range of puzzle mini-games to play solo or online. Seems like a pretty good concept, especialy considering how well Brain Age has sold over the years.
PBR, despite what some people would tell you, does not stand for Pabst Blue Ribbon. PBR Out of the Chute uses the PBR from Professional Bull Riders. I have no idea if this is an older game now available for download, or if this is a new game. I've never heard of it and can't imagine a Bull riding game personally, but that won't stop everybody it would seem. So if you're a big PBR fan - again, not talking about beer - go check this out and let me know what it's about.
Music
To go along with the new Super Street Fighter goodness, they also released new tracks used in the new game. I believe the 5 tracks are exclusive to the PS Store, and sadly I haven't had a chance to listen to them yet. But no reason not to pick up all 5 songs and listen to them at least once.

With all the goodies coming out today, I'm kind of disappointed that there isn't a theme to go along with the new Street Fighter goodness. But there are a few wallpapers to take a look at.

Well I have a lot of games to go play now, so I'm off to really enjoy the update. Try to stop sucking at SSF2!
