Cuboid, Mahjong, and Qore Comprise New PlayStation Store Update

It’s been more than two weeks since the last PlayStation Store update, so gamers are likely to be upset that the sheer volume of content with today’s update isn’t as high as it has been as of late. In spite of that, it’s not a half-bad update; Cuboid ($9.99) and Mahjong Tales ($9.99) should both cater to certain markets that don’t otherwise get a lot of attention on PSN, and the wave of downloadable content for all of the other games should give most everyone something to enjoy until next week. For those that may have been holding out on the Mercenaries 2 “Blow It Up Again” DLC pack or Rock Band tracks “Are You Dead Yet,” “Hay Poco Rock n Roll,” “Ready, Set, Go!”, “The Real World,” “Tempted,” or “Tutto E Possible,” each of those items can now be downloaded at the new price of $1.99.

2009’s first episode of Qore is now available for $3 and features a look at Killzone 2. This is also the first episode to be released since the free PlayStation show Pulse made its debut on PSN in December — with Pulse’s release, will gamers suddenly feel that Qore isn’t worth paying for?

In the downloadable content space, EndWar adds the Faction Elite Pack ($3.75) which unlocks the JSF 15th Special Operations, Spetsnaz Alpha Brigade, and Enforcer Corpse Battlegroup 1 for use in-game, as well as access to new unit upgrades. Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm gets yet another DLC pack with a new support character (Anko) and a new Ultimate Mission to play. WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009’s roster update ($4.99) is available and includes four new wrestlers, including three I’ve never heard of — Evan Bourne, Ted DiBiase, Super Crazy, and Charlie Haas — as well as new costumes for Kane, Chris Jericho, and others.
