It's Thursday again, and the first PS Store update of the month so that means lots of goodies and this months Qore episode. Well this month Qore is available to everybody. It's available for download - absolutely free - to all PSN users to let them know what's in Qore. Another gift for those who check out the free episode of Qore will receive goodness in the form of the FLOCK demo. A game I'm kind of excited to check out, as I often have 2 player non-online gaming going on around here and we like variety! Well on to the links, so I can get to playing my new game!

ThreeSpeech - European Store Update
Add-Ons
What's another Thursday with out some new LittleBigPlanet costumes? To continue with the new stuff to download and enjoy with an already awesome game, this week we get free only costumes. For a lovely zero dollars you can welcome the Kabuki Actor to your Sackperson collection. Personally I think that looks awesome, and is fitting as I just crossed the Pacific into Asia last night. (I know that may seem a little slow, but I don't progress to the next region until I have 100% in all current regions.)
Age of Booty brought with it the Capcom store front inside the PS Store and this week it brings along new booty! Arrrrrgh!
- Map Pack 1 - Oasis & Slow and Stead
- Map Pack 2 - Tight Passage & Tug of War
- Map Pack 3 - Bombs and Whirlpools & Bloody Wake
All three are absolutely free, so no reason why you shouldn't download and enjoy. Merry Pirate Christmas to ye!
Far Cry 2 comes out from the desert to take your money with the new Fortunes Pack for $9.99, and I must say it brings with it a fair amount of stuff. For a 10 spot you get 2 vehicles, 3 weapons - including a silenced shotgun (WTF?) - and 4 maps. Sounds like a pretty fair share of content for $10. I don't have the game, and not all that interested in buying it but this isn't bad at all.
GRID has been out for quite a while and I can't recall if there has been any other DLC released for it. Either way today they release new content for those avid GRID players. 8 new cars, new online events, and appears to be just the first of a trilogy of new content to be released for the game. After further inspection, the cars list looks pretty nice.
- McLaren F1 GTR
- TVR Cerbera Speed 12
- Mitsubishi 2.0 Turbo Lancer Evolution X
- Honda S2000
- Nissan GTR GT500
- VW Nardo
- Pontiac Firebird Trans AM
- Volvo C30 Green Racing.
Looks like something for everyone there.
Continuing along with the FREE theme of today's update, NATURO: Ultimate Ninja STORM drops off a new support character and a new Ultimate Mission, before it disappears into the darkness again. I thought the demo looked great, but I'm not a Naruto fan or a big fighting game person. So I won't be getting any use out of this free goodie.
Rock Band Thursday is back after last weeks Turkey filled extravaganza, and is back with 9 new songs, and no packs for the first time in a long while. Songs ranging from Naked Brothers, to American Rejects to Squeeze. Full song can be found at http://www.rockband.com/music, and boy are there a lot of songs!
Guitar Hero World Tour DLC is in full swing with the Smashing Pumpkins this week. Three songs available individually for $1.99 a piece and the obligatory pack for $5.49. I actually like the Smashing Pumpkins, I may have to see if I have some of their MP3s around here.
Staying in line with the music theme, the ridiculously long named Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol Encore 2 also has 6 songs available for $1.49 each. As usual there are no bundles to be found for the game with the 70 syllable name. O.K. that's a slight exaggeration it's only 18!
SOULCALIBUR IV didn't want to be left out of the DLC bandwagon this week with a new Customization Equipment pack that looks like allows you to turn Ivy or Amy into a sexy Mrs. Claus. Nothing says holiday cheer like a scantily clad Mrs. Claus wanna-be.
Demos
No direct demos today, but there is the Flock demo available through Qore, so make sure you download both of those. Scroll down to the bottom of the Qore main menu and select the Downloads area for whatever other goodies are in there along with FLOCK! Make sure you also hit L1!
Games
When I first bought my PSP I wanted Archer Maclean’s Mercury but it was never in stock - used or new! Well now you can download it for $9.99 from the PS3 Store or using the Media Manager. At this point I've bought 5 PSN titles in the past two weeks so I'm going to hold off on this, but I will add this to my collection sooner or later.
I must confess that I don't know much about this Brain Challenge game, but it is $9.99 and is available from the PS3 Store as well as through the Media Manager. Sounds like a puzzle game.
Super Stardust Portable, a "sequel" the awesome PSN title that helped user in the Trophy era is now bite sized and ready for portable consumption. Same basic idea, but it does have it trick of it's own up it's sleeve by adding a PSP only game mode. Videos look like it's just as much fun as the PS3 version, but I'm still nervous about how the controls will work with the PSP's distinct lack of dual analog sticks. I'm hoping for a demo first, but I honestly do want this beauty. I'd also like PSP Trophies that we could sync with our PSN Trophies via the Media Manager but do we all get what we really want?
Everyday Shooter was a game I always thought would make a great PSP game. Well it seems a few other people had the same thought, and a plan was set in motion. After reading today's article about how it came to be I've decide to finally pick up the PS3 version and the PSP version. For $9.99 this game is awesome and worth every penny, especially for those who use mass transit. Great way to start off your morning, who needs Folgers?
I've been excited about Soldner-X: Himmelssturmer since I first caught wind of it. R-Type~ish shoot 'em up with Trophy support is just what I need to help me push my PSN to Lv.6. (I'm at 80% and so close! NEED MOAR TROPHIEZ!!) Videos of the game look hectic and frenzied all while looking amazing and running in at a lovely 1080p resolution and will only run me $9.99! This is made of win all the way around as far as I'm concerned.

Themes
Sadly there aren't any free themes for the PS3 today, and there were so many places where they could. New games released, Prince of Persia dropped this week, and an oldie PSN got an update to the Trophy era. But here's the list of "Premium Themes" but honestly I can't imagine anybody would buy these.
Lingerie Girls Theme @ $1.49
University of Florida Theme @ $1.99
European Highlands Theme @ $1.49
Bloodwork Theme @ $1.49
Atomic Acid Theme @ $1.49
Metal Battalion Maidens Theme @ $0.99
Fortunately we get a few wallpapers that we can try and mix and match into our other free themes so we have at least something everybody has a chance to play with.
SOULCALIBUR IV
- Holiday Hilde
- Holiday Ivy
- Wallpaper 1
- Wallpaper 2
All wallpapers are free, but also aren't really that inspiring. NOthing quite like last week's awesome Prince of Persia wallpapers.
