News: Lara Croft's second adventure leads the charge on a day late PSN update.
Due to technical problems, Sony was unable to update the PlayStation Store yesterday as they normally would every Thursday. Instead, the update was pushed back a day, but it doesn't appear as if anything extra was added to make up for the delay.
Gamers looking for new experiences from this week's update will find Invincible Tiger: The Legend of Han Tao, a downloadable beat 'em up original to the PS3. Retro gamers will also get their fix with the addition of Cool Boarders 2, Tomb Raider II and SimCity 2000 to the PlayStation Store.
A variety of add-ons have also made the cut this week including the Tatooine Mission Pack for
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and the Wolf Creek course for
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10. Finally, a quartet of demos have been added including
Wet, NHL 10, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin and
Dirt 2.
More information on all of the new additions to the store can be found below.
