New PSN Games hitting this week include Gotham City Impostors. Bringing a new style of multiplayer mayhem with a tongue-in-cheek Gotham City style, you’ll want to see what the players in the Beta have been raving about. In addition, side-scrolling action comes in two flavors this week. For brutal combat action, you’ll want to check out Shank 2. For classic four-player co-op beat em ‘ups, download The Simpsons Arcade Game.

It’s also a big week for PlayStation legends Jak and Daxter. Not one, not two, but three of their original adventures are hitting the PlayStation Store today! And the best part? These classic PlayStation 2 games have been remastered in HD along with stereoscopic 3D functionality and new Trophy support! Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Jak II and Jak 3 are now available individually, or grab them as a bundle at a lower price.

As mentioned earlier today, brand-new DLC is hitting UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception including the Fort Co-Op Adventure. This DLC will mark the first time in the series you’ll be able to play co-op as the UNCHARTED villains with Zoran Lazarević, Eddy Raja, Harry Flynn joining forces in a tale that further explores the mystery behind the Janus head statue from the on-disc co-op adventure. It, as well as additional DLC, arrives today and is available individually, or as part of Fortune Hunters’ Club.

New PS3 Full Games arriving today include the twisted puzzle tale Catherine, as well as the fun for all ages Top Spin 4 and Lego Pirates Of The Caribbean. These titles represent some of the best experiences previously only found at retail; now available to download. PlayStation Plus subscribers are also able to download a free one hour trial of Catherine and Lego Pirates Of The Caribbean as part of their subscription.

Speaking of PlayStation Plus, today kicks off February’s month of free games, discounts, and exclusives. For one, the aforementioned The Simpsons Arcade Game is now free for subscribers! Recent PS one Classic release Final Fantasy V is also free to download. First and free access to this episode’s Qore, as well as free downloads of PS minis Hungry Giraffe and Gold Medalist round out this week’s Plus updates, with more fun to come throughout the month.

Finally, we’re all excited about the premiere of The Tester Season 3! New episodes are available to watch every Tuesday right here or download them from the PlayStation Store. Tune in to find out who the winner will be as they’ll be joining the legendary Santa Monica Studios team.

The Tester Season 3 Episode 1

Hi Everyone -
This week, the folks at Konami are excited to bring you the new PSN Release Puddle! Relying on the physics of water and other fluids (hot magma anyone?) in ever-evolving environments, you’ll need to guide the fluid flow with precision to get to the goal. While it seems like a simple concept, the gameplay requires a fun puzzle-focused mentality where you must tilt the entire environment, balancing the push of each fluid’s unique properties with the pull of environmental factors of gravity, friction, and obstacles. With PlayStation Move compatibility, and a demo available as well, Puddle is set to make a big splash on PlayStation Network.

You may have seen EA’s news predicting the Super Bowl winners with Madden NFL 12. If you haven’t picked up this year’s edition yet, you can set up your own Super Bowl match yourself as it’s now available in the PS3 Full Games category. Joining it is also Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, its predecessor Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, and Mini Ninjas. PlayStation Plus subscribers will have access to a 1 hour rental of all of these via Full Game Trials as well.

Twisted Metal fans; the big day is almost here. Although you won’t be able to buy the game until February 14th, the demo is now available to download! Get your hands on the new online multiplayer experience in classic Free for All or the all-new Nuke mode. In other demo news, Syndicate is also now available to try via a 4 player co-op demo.

Since the new PlayStation Plus content for February, announced earlier today, won’t be hitting until next week, this week is your last chance to get some of January’s free content like Back To The Future: The Game – Full Series, PS one Classics Syphon Filter 1-3, and PSN Game Sword and Soldiers. But with January’s final update for Plus subscribers, there’s plenty of new Full Game Trials as well as some great new free Avatars and Themes. Check out the Abstract Art theme in particular.

That’s all for this week. Check out the full details of this week’s update below, and let us know your thoughts in the comments below or join the discussion on the PlayStation Community forums in the Official PlayStation Store Update thread.

Hi Everyone -
This week sees the release of PSN Game Scarygirl. PS mini aficionados will be the first tell you about the magial, creepy-yet-cute world of Scarygirl with the first release which hit earlier last year. Now, this beautiful platformer series sees a new adventure in which Scarygirl must go on a journey to determine who the man haunting her dreams is. Based on the original graphic novel by Nathan Jurevicius, Scarygirl delivers a combination of fantastically unique visuals and classic side-scrolling gameplay.

Expect more from the PS3 Full Games category with new releases Duke Nukem Forever and Mortal Kombat hitting PlayStation Network today. In case you needed an introduction to these two pillars in gaming, Duke Nukem Forever marks the return of the FPS’s most tongue-in-cheek hero. Fight aliens and enjoy the one-of-a-kind humor that only playing a Duke Nukem game can bring.

Mortal Kombat also brings M-rated fun. Hailed as one of the best entries in the MK series, this entry sports great multiplayer (as always, play online free over PSN), and also contains a great new take on single player story telling in fighting games. And yes, this is the full PS3 version which contains Kratos as a playabe character.

If you’re looking for some great DLC this week, there’s tons of great new Add-Ons including new LittleBigPlanet 2 Muppets Premium Level Kits which let you expand your LittleBigPlanet 2 experience with the world of the Muppets. Includes 5 new levels, 2 mini-games, the new “Attract-O-Gel” Create feature, new stickers and decorations, and lastly the exclusive Rowlf costume.

Or, you can snag 6 new multiplayer maps in Assassin’s Creed: Revelations with the Mediterranean Map Pack. Journey to the holy city of Jerusalem, the Imperial District of Constantinople, and the colorful district of Dyers. You can also revisit the Italian Renaissance maps from Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, starting with the historic city of Firenze, traveling to the mountain sides of San Donato, and to spectacular night time Siena.

Finally, we’ve got a great deal hitting PlayStation Plus subscribers this week with a giant discount on the Capcom Super Pack! For just $12.50, snag 7 amazing Capcom games including Super Street Fighter 2 HD Remix, Age of Booty, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD remix, and a handful more.

That’s all for this week. Check out the full details of this week’s update below, and let us know your thoughts in the comments below or join the discussion on the PlayStation Community forums in the Official PlayStation Store Update thread.

Hi Everyone -
We say goodbye to 2011 with one last PlayStation Store update; just in time for those looking to warm the winter nights with some great content from PlayStation Network.

New PSN Games this week include All Zombies Must Die. This twin-stick shooter is taken to lofty new heights with a bevy of RPG features, four player co-op and optional PlayStation Move support. You’ll also want to check out Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD. This remake of the influential original puts you in the shoes of the High Plains Drifter with an all new coat of paint that you won’t want to miss.

The Splinter Cell HD Collection released earlier this year, but it’s now broken up into individual games. Want to pick up only one title in the trilogy? Now you can. The original Trilogy bundle is of course, still available, and may stand as the better deal should you wish to purchase all three.

Two great new additions in the PS3 Full Game category are also arriving this week. For an amazing gaming experience for all ages, you can now download Carnival Island, playable with PlayStation Move. Packed with a ton of great games and activities, you’ll be amazed how it uses the Move controller to create an entirely new sense of immersion. Motorstorm Apocalypse arrives as well, where you’ll race in an almost completely abandoned city that offers the perfect playground for MotorStorm’s electric brand of brutal street racing.

That’s it for the year! From everyone at PlayStation, thank you for a wonderful 2011, and we look forward to sharing more amazing experiences only available on PlayStation Network in 2012!

Here is the weekly PlayStation Store update:
