Weekend Essentials – 09/10/2009

To celebrate the launch of PSPgo, here’s a look at great ways to play on the move.

Fill your boots at PlayStation Store

All you need to access PlayStation Store (PSP) is a valid PlayStation Network account, and access to a Wireless Internet connection (for downloading directly to PSP) or to a PC connected to the Internet with Media Go installed.

Once inside PlayStation Store, you’ll find a host of great games, many with demos available so you can try before you buy. Look out for top-rated titles including WipEout Pure, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror and PS one classic FINAL FANTASY® VII.

If you prefer your entertainment more bite-sized, be sure to check out the new category of minis. Perfect for gaming on the go, minis titles are added to PlayStation Store on a regular basis and include updates of classics such as Tetris, as well as great titles especially designed for PSP.

PlayStation Store is also the place to go for the latest releases on PSP. From the thrilling off-road racing of MotorStorm Arctic Edge to the unique gameplay of Rockstar’s Beaterator, PlayStation Store has got it covered.

New on PS3

Take to the court for NBA LIVE 10, the latest in EA’s popular basketball simulation series. This year's version includes Dynamic DNA, providing daily player and team updates to reflect real-world performances, and Dynamic Season, in which you play along with the actual NBA season for the ultimate NBA LIVE experience. Visit PlayStation Store to download the demo now.

You will find tactics and team play of a different variety in Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, a military tactics first person shooter set on the oil-rich island of Skira in the bitterly cold waters of the northern Pacific. As part of a US Marine and Special Forces team, you’re sent to help keep the invading forces of the People's Liberation Army of China at bay. In a world where every decision counts and every bullet can kill, have you got what it takes to emerge victorious?
