PlayStation Store Update: Capcom floods the network with awesome photo

This week's PlayStation Network update is dominated by Capcom awesome, including the much-anticipated Bionic Commando Rearmed for $9.99; the game supports remote play, so you can play it on the crapper! A demo of the game, along with a demo for Capcom's 1942: Joint Strike, is also up for grabs for the cool price of "free." The PlayStation 1 version of Street Fighter Alpha is also available today, just not in the UK. Oops!

Not into Capcom classics or remakes? No worries; sports gamers can grab the demos of 2K's NHL 2K9 or Electronic Arts' Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09. It's my understanding that one of those games is a hockey game and the other one is golf, but we haven't confirmed that with our sports editor, so take that as rumor only.

The "Roadrunner Rock Band" pack is also now available, and most of the songs are blisteringly difficult in just about all categories, so take a deep breath before diving in. A ton of trailers have also been added, including a new one for the zombie-apocalypse PSN game, The Last Guy. Two PS3 themes are up for grabs, too: one for BioShock and two for Bionic Commando Rearmed

You can turn on your damned PS3 and check out all of this stuff and more yourself, or feel free to head over to the PlayStation.Blog for more details.

Well, you can use a token to download things from PSN and XBL Marketplace. If were to theoretically have a contest, it would be 360 only ... not that I'm saying we'll be having a contest, but you know.

@wilbo:

We'll start doing that. :)

I dunno. The demo for BCR was decent, but I'm not sure if I want to drop 10 bones for the full-version.

Demo was short, but it hooked me. We don't get enough next-gen (er current-gen) 2D platformers.

Official confirmation: Yes, NHL 2K9 is a hockey game, and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 is a golf game.

I love the NHL 09 game, I will be picking that up when I actually have the spare money to do so.

Also, Bionic Commando is about the best thing out on the PSN now.

BioShock theme, huh? Anyone smell a demo soon. Or is that just Y0j1mb0?

Fuck man... I'm really disapointed in how 2k9 turned out. The graphics (except the crowd) somehow look worse than last year, and the new control scheme is stiff as crap.

Man.. I was really looking forward to this game too.

I'm definitely buying the full version of BCR. It's tons of fun once you get used to the swing mechanic.

I have already wasted 3 hours on BCR! I hate the swing mechanics, but I am getting used to it and I think that maybe this game might be fun :)

I never played the original Bionic Commando, but I was pleasantly surprised by the demo of Rearmed. I love how it supports Remote Play, too.

Street Fighter Alpha 1? Wtf? Maybe Alpha 2 and 3 are coming then.
Alpha 3 Max needs a full fledged arcade/psn release. Fuck the PSP and its pad.

It's amazing how counter-intuitive the swing mechanic in BCR is. You have to think about HOW you're going to control it and not what you want to control it to do. Kind of annoying. Pretty sweet game though, definitely worth two copies of eternity's child.

Now how about some trophies? It's not just 360 owners who are insecure and need to pad out their e-penises.

Played the BCR demo and loved it. Definitely will be buying it soon. I was also pretty disappointed with the NHL 2K9 demo. EA still tops them.
