PlayStation Store Update Highlights: Week of May 21st, 2013

Here's a quick weekly look at the biggest updates to the entire catalog of the PlayStation Store. Instead of regurgitating the whole list that can easily be found on the PlayStation Blog, or a cleaner and simplified list by FriskyTanuki at Cheap Ass Gamer, here's the biggest and/or most interesting announcements.

Full Games | Mugen Souls ($39.99)

One of the perks of having PlayStation is getting Japanese RPGs. This one isn't the best, averaging around a 50 percent at GameRankings and IGN giving it a 3.9 for "poor writing, ugly visual design, [and] esoteric gameplay systems."

For those that love the genre for better or worse, this is the best deal on the game with the exception of a limited-time deal at Play-Asia for just $24.90. Naturally, it falls 10 cents short of free shipping - if there's nothing else that interests you, the shipping is a shade over $4, but still a better deal.

Ultimate Editions | Starhawk ($23.49)

This PlayStation original is still collecting dust on my shelf, but it's one of the more intense multiplayer games on the console for those interested. Getting all the bonus content at this price is a good bargain - especially for those with PlayStation Plus.

Bundles | Darkstalkers Resurrection w/ Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (14.99)

Almost an instant buy for the guys that spent weekends playing emulated games in their parent's basements when they were kid. Whoops, I mean...play these games at their local arcade hangout. Yeah, that's it...

PlayStation Plus Deals

Instant Game Collection

• Pinball Arcade (PS3, Vita)
• Germinator (Vita)

It's a slight disappointment this week in the free category. A couple of $10 games are on sale; one is a class pinball game featuring at least four different tables and the other being a match-three puzzle game that's probably identical to other games that can be found free on Google Play. Hopefully Germinator isn't the same thing.

Since both of these aren't the longest games, a review should be up shortly this week on both.

All ultimate editions are 75% off! (Includes all downloadable content.)

• Devil May Cry: Ultimate Edition - $47.24
• Max Payne 3: Ultimate Edition - $20.99
• Starhawk: Ultimate Edition - $16.99
• and more!
