'Heads-Up' Game Store Update 19th January 2011

Hi everyone – I hope you had a good start to the week and ‘Blue Monday’ didn’t hit you too hard! It’s Wednesday so we’ve got a Store update for you, including the kick off of the January sales.

Two fabulous new PSN games hit today (complete with trials) in the form of Spare Parts – the new robotic adventure from EA and Modern Combat: Domination, a Move-enabled FPS with compelling gameplay at a compelling price. If you’ve ever played a game of Counterstrike you’ll be instantly at home with this one.

New minis hit as well, including the wildly popular Shift extended, the previously Plus-only Pipe Madness and Soccer Bashi.

Downloadable content? Well why not, eh? Trinity Universe, Tron: Evolution, R.U.S.E. and lots of extra bits and pieces for the newly released Mass Effect II – but don’t get the Cerberus pack if you’ve purchased a version of the game with the extra content included in the box.

Also we’ve got another multiplayer update for Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood which will cost you precisely nothing – isn’t that nice?

I’m in meetings the first part of this afternoon but I will be back for comments before the end of the day – so I’ll see you then.
