After blasting off with the launch of Expendables 2, PSN PLAY continues to bring the heat with the PlayStation exclusive Sound Shapes! Coming bundled with both PS3 and PS Vita versions for one price, you won’t want to miss out on this unique platformer that combines awesome beats with clean 2D visuals. It’s available now and is 20% off for PlayStation Plus subscribers.

Also a part of PSN PLAY, this week marks the window to pre-order Papo & Yo! Plus members receive an exclusive theme as well as a 20% discount.

This week PlayStation Plus delivers an update to the Instant Game Collection with the first two episodes of Telltale’s The Walking Dead free for Plus members! This acclaimed series delivers breakthrough storytelling and engaging choices that really matter. If you’re already a Walking Dead Season Pass holder, your purchase is still well worth it as you’ll be among the first to experience the later episodes as they release.

For those of you who never got the chance to play PAYDAY: The Heist, now is an excellent time to jump in — a great bundle is now available, which includes the newly released Wolfpack Add-On. The core game is all about planning and executing the perfect heist across a handful of campaigns, and Wolfpack adds a ton more content, skill tree expansions, and also raises the level cap.

If you caught EVO 2012 this year, you know that The King of Fighters XIII made quite an impression in the fighting game community. If you’ve yet to get your hands on a KOF game, KOFXIII is a great place to start and is available now in the PS3 Full Game section. Download it today and see how refined a fighting game can be.

Lastly, don’t forget to hop back into UNCHARTED 3 to check out Version 1.13 of the legendary game. It’s Naughty Dog‘s biggest patch ever and features a new tournament mode, tons of new items, and more. You can find the tournament tickets in the Add-Ons section of the PlayStation Store which grant you special in-game weapons or items based on how well you’ve played in tournaments.

There’s more great content to review below including getting set for next week’s retail release of Darksiders II by grabbing the Darksiders II Season Pass. Let us know your thoughts in the comments, and we’ll see you next week.
