US PS Store Update, June 12 - Gravity Rush, MGS HD Vita, Escape Plan DLC

News by Brenna Hillier Contributor

Published on June 13, 2012

Sony worked overtime this week, bringing the US PlayStation Store update to life significantly later than usual. Better late than never though - especially as it's Gravity Rush week.

This week's actually got something for damn near everybody. Batman: Arkham City has been added to the catalogue of full downloadable PS3 games, which is nice - especially as free trial is available to Plus members.

Still on the PS3, the kind of excellent looking babel Rising is up, allowing you to smack little men with miracles, which is clearly ideal.

Vita is having a good week with Gravity Rush and a neat AR puzzler with the ghastly title of PuzzlAR! as well as DLC for Escape Plan and the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. The last one there is sadly missing Peace Walker, which I desperately want to play with twin sticks, but does pack in the original Metal Gear games. No, not Metal Gear Solid 1 - I mean the MSX ones. Yeahhh.

Even the PSP gets a look in with the highly regarded strategy RPG Gungnir so I'm going to go ahead and call this a bumper week.
