10 for '10 Sale and Metal Gear PSP Bundle Now on PSN
For the next week, get Critter Crunch for $3.49 and Braid for $7.49.

This week's PlayStation Store update isn't the largest in terms of new content, but it does have a pretty decent sale on 10 games -- including Critter Crunch for just $3.49. Why Sony didn't hold this 10 for '10 sale sooner (celebrating the new year and giving new PS3 and PSP owners an opportunity to pick up some games at a discount) is unclear, but what matters is that there are some solid 50% off deals for the next week on 10 games, including the aforementioned Critter Crunch. Other highlights include Braid for $7.49, Crystal Defenders PSP for $4.99, and Gravity Crash for $4.99.
New on the PS3 side is Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment ($14.99) and PS1 Classic Championship Bass ($5.99, also available on PSP). You can also find the new free SingStar Viewer that allows you to check out SingStar content directly from the XMB and a downloadable Stone Cold Steve Austin add-on ($0.99) for Smackdown vs. Raw 2010.

PSP has two new downloadable games, DJ Max Fever ($19.99) and Valhalla Knights 2: Battle Stance ($29.99), as well as a Metal Gear Solid PSP bundle ($29.99) that includes Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Plus, and Metal Gear Solid Digital Graphic Novel. New comics for the digital reader include the 2004 run of X-Men #157-168 ($1.99 each) and Wallace & Gromit #6 ($0.99).

Three Command & Conquer Games Available for Free

Tiberian Twilight will be out March 16. You can download the classic games now.

Half-Price Sales on Capcom PSN Games Begin Today

Capcom announced yesterday that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 would be on sale for half price beginning today on the PlayStation Store. And in addition to that, they've now announced that each week for the next five weeks, Capcom will be slashing the price on one of their PlayStation Network games by 50%. For the next week, you'll be able to pick up MvC2 for the price of $7.49 instead of the $14.99 it usually goes for. Then beginning on February 25, the discounted game will be Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix ($7.49); on March 4, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix ($4.99); on March 11, Age of Booty ($4.99); and on March 18, 1942: Joint Strike ($4.99).
There's a demo of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 available on the PlayStation Store right now if you want to give the game a try before buying. But be warned, it doesn't allow you to play against the computer or online, so you'll need two controllers (and ideally a second person) in order to play.

i might pick up that castlevania game and bionic commando.
