Weekly PS Store Update: costumes, challenge rooms, and Dead Space

Weekly PS Store Update: costumes, challenge rooms, and Dead Space photo
     Sony

This week’s new PlayStation Store offerings are kind of slim. At least, they’re slim if you don’t own Dead Space or lack the funds to buy everything but the kitchen sink for the game. A whopping total of twelve new downloadable packs are being offered for the faithful. The one that really grabs me is the “Scorpion Pack” ($3.99), because that suit looks ridiculously rad.

In addition to Dead Space’s add-on content, there are a few new costumes being offered for LittleBigPlanet. The Sack in the Box Costume is totally free, but the LocoRoco costumes are coming in at $2.99. The important thing to note is that it's Sackboy dressed as one of five possible LocoRocos. It’s like creating a rift of awesomeness in the universe.

Another tantalizing offer is the download for BioShock’s Challenge Rooms ($9.99). We’ve covered that pretty well, and if you’re looking for an enhanced BioShock experience, this may be up your alley. As usual, there’s a bunch of songs ready for your rhythm needs. Rock Band’s Dead Kennedys pack is supposedly awesome, but I still think the game needs more System Syn or Snake River Conspiracy.

Hit the break for the full list of updates and tell me what you’re going to be downloading this week. That is, if your wallet isn’t broken from all the excellent titles of late.

Challenge Rooms are awesome. World of Hurt on Survivor makes you think hard about how you take on the rooms. Going up against four Big Daddies with only the wrench is insane, but surprisingly doable with a little patience and preparation.
