It’s a weak week on the PSN, devoted to Sonic’s 19th birthday. That means that there’s a lot of Sonic DLC that simply isn’t much of a bargain if you don’t have the games to go with it.

So what is worth it?

  • Blue Toad Murder Files can be sampled with Episode 1 for $1.49, and the entire series can be had for $26.
  • MAG Interdiction adds new maps, gameplay, and trophies for $9.99
  • Kick Ass is on sale for $9.99. Our review is here, we liked it.
  • Warhawk Fallen Star DLC is $1.99 – 75% off.
  • Red Dead Redemption “Outlaws to the End” Co-op Pack is free.
  • Little Big Planet has a free character download for the summer solstice.

All in all, it’d be pretty easy to ignore the PSN this week as we’ll be too busy playing Red Dead Co-op. Maybe it’s for the best.

In just a few days the world of Red Dead Redemption gets even larger with the free-to-download, and free-to-play (on PSN) co-op multiplayer pack, Outlaws to the End.

This pack drops on June 22, 2010, and will include six complete missions for up to eight players. While running the new missions players will earn additional multiplayer XP, and new trophies are up for grabs.

This is the first of three downloadable packs for this summer, with the other two being paid-for DLC.

There are some great titles coming to PSN over the next few weeks. Joe Danger is coming to PSN next Tuesday, with the Might and Magic hit Clash of  Heroes coming shortly after from Capyberra games.

On the PS3 disc-based front we’ve heard great news about Killzone 3 and InFamous 2: both titles are on their way, and rumour has it that they’ll be available in 3D at launch.

Perfect posse: Lead and Gold defines the old west online.

I held off on writing my review of Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Old West until after I had a chance to play the online portion of it’s nearest cousin: Red Dead Redemption. I felt it was a fair decision; even though we’re looking at an independent studio’s effort and a triple A title from a major developer, the price delta and the limited points that of comparison add some balance.

That said, these are two very different games. Red Dead’s Free Roam mode lobby is a game unto itself, something you could spend hours with. The competitive multiplayer is good… but it’s completely eclipsed by the fast-paced five on five that you’ll find in Lead and Gold. Continue reading »
