PlayStation Update: Wolfenstein The New Order, huge PSone import blowout, free Puppeteer

A slew of new releases are now available, including the new Wolfenstein and lots of RPGs (especially imports). Also, there's a lack of PlayStation Plus discounts, but there's two free games to make up for it.

There's a lot on tap, especially for fans of PSone imports. Not being one of them personally, we'll jump right into the highlight of the week which is Wolfenstein from MachineGames and Bethesda Studios. This game has received quite a bit of advertising and it's coming in with above-average reviews.

Being able to wield two weapons at the same time, Wolfenstein promises to deliver a retro-like first person shooter (even with some nostalgic original Wolfenstein moments) in a new-generation atmosphere.

Elsewhere, PS4's new action RPG, Transistor, has received a lot of attention from critics and has potential to be a sleeper hit. And what's turning into weekly release of new RPGs, there's two options -- Drakengard 3 and Mugen Souls Z -- for PS3 owners.

Instant Game Collection

The PS+ service makes up for the lack of discounts with two free games this week. Puppeteer for the PS3 definitely makes up for the lack of sales, for those that haven't played the game already. It's been somewhat of a cult hit for those that keep up with all the Sony exclusives. It's an absolute must for any platformer fan.

Another free game is Surge Deluxe for the Vita. It's a matching color puzzle game that I never heard of until today, but sometimes those are the best time wasters.

Have a great week, everyone!
