Short and sweet update this week, but nothing to be sniffed at. Two demos and two add-on packs mean there’s something for pretty much everyone. If you’re into driving, hockey or Haze (yeah, we thought not), that is. Warhawk fans have probably already grabbed last week’s booster pack, but those new to the game might be tempted by the low-price triple combo pack. Here’s the full release list:

Playable content

• Pure demo (free)
• NHL 2K8 demo (free)

Add-on content

• Warhawk “Triple Combo” pack (£7.99/€11.99 — contains all three booster packs)
• Haze “Destruction” pack (£3.49/€4.99)

Videos

• Movement episode 5, part 2 — “London” (includes 8 videos)

Wallpapers and themes

• 4x SoulCalibur 4 wallpapers

Have you noticed? The nights are drawing in, the temperature is dropping and actual games are being released. Clearly Summer is coming to a close, bringing the reasonably short games drought to an end for another year. Hold on to your wallets, because it’s pretty much a non-stop tidal wave of quality titles until Christmas. Here’s the full release list:

US Games

• Mercenaries 2: World In Flames
• Rapala Fishing Frenzy
• Vampire Rain: Altered Species
• NFL Head Coach 2009
• Facebreaker

EU Games

• Mercenaries 2: World In Flames
• Assassin’s Creed (Platinum)
• FaceBreaker
• Monster Madness: Grave Danger

Asian Games

• The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (The Best)

Want a game from another region? Go for it. Your PS3 won’t mind. Do remember that, while the games are region free, DLC tends not to be. Also, we don’t know whether you know this or not, but release dates can be very … fluid. Check with your local retailer. They’ll know, fo sho’.

Nothing to see here, folks. Vampire Rain makes its Japanese debut on the PS3 this week, but all other territories are gameless. Not a single one. Is the Summer game drought finally arriving? The next few weeks don’t look too stellar, but at least we’re only a couple of months away from some amazing titles like LittleBigPlanet. About time. Here’s the full release list:

US Games
No new releases

EU Games

Asian Games

Okay, color us confused, but kind of impressed. We were just tipped off that Bionic Commando Rearmed, that awesome current-gen re-imagining of the old Capcom classic, is now available on the European PlayStation Store. “Surely not,” we thought. We wrote the European store update up yesterday and BCR was nowhere to be seen.

Nevertheless, the tip was correct. Bionic Commando Rearmed is now available, in both full-game and demo form, on the European PlayStation Store. For UK patrons, you can hookshot the game for £6.99, while those of you who deal in Euros (Brodie-san, we’re looking at you) will need to part with €9.99. Nice work SCEE. So, have you bought it yet? Why not? Go get!

[Thanks Wilester]
