PSN Tuesday: Clash of Heroes HD, Dungeon Hunter: Alliance
It's a fantasy land in this week's PSN update. First up is Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes from Capy (Critter Crunch, Sword & Sworcery), the HD port of its excellent puzzle RPG for DS. Instead of abstract jewels creating the gameplay, the game has actual units on the field that can be matched to create better units. Definitely try out the demo. Also available is Dungeon Hunter: Alliance, which being from Gameloft automatically means it's donning +2 hat of generic, but the title does feature four-player co-op dungeon crawling. Quest on past the break for all this week's DLC. Choose your platform to view the corresponding release list: (Note: Continue past the break to view both release lists.)
PSN Tuesday: Red Faction: Battlegrounds, StarDrone, Angry Birds sale
This week's PSN update adds two very different type of arcade titles: Red Faction: Battlegrounds is the vehicular combat game that somehow ties into the Red Faction universe. Don't think about it too hard, just drive around for $10 and blow stuff up. Meanwhile the Move-supported StarDrone is a hybrid pinball / brick-breaking game. Check out the videos for a better idea. It should also be noted that the excellent Lara Croft: Guardian Of Light is 50 percent off for $7.49. Also, the phenomenon that is Angry Birds has come in step on PSN with its iOS cousins, as the game is available now for $1.99 instead of $3.99 Greedy green pigs can head on past the break and steal a glance at all of this week's DLC.

PSN Tuesday: Moon Diver, Free Realms
Sony Online Entertainment's Free Realms MMO finally arrives on PS3 today. We really don't have much to say about the free-to-play hit, but it gives us a fantastic excuse to post a picture of purple horse with wings. Another big arrival today is Moon Diver, which at one point was called Necromachina, but before that was known as ... Moon Diver. Anyway, original point: it's like a four-player Strider. Considering it was designed by Kouichi Yotsui, one of the leads on Strider, that makes the lift kosher in our book. There's a lot more to be found in the full update details after the break.

PSN Tuesday: Swarm, Hoard and Castlevania: LoS Reverie DLC
PSN delivers another week of interesting downloadable titles with PS3's Swarm and PSP's Hoard. If you haven't checked out the demo from last week's PSN exclusive Slam Bolt Scrappers, that's definitely worth taking for a test drive. For something with a bit more machismo, the demo for WWE All Stars is available, along with Castlevania: Lords of Shadow's "Reverie" DLC. Konami kinda just snuck that release in this week for the States, but it should be available in Europe on March 30. There's plenty more to peruse in the full update after the break.

PSN Tuesday: UnderGarden, Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2
This week's PSN update adds The UnderGarden and Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2, two titles that didn't review all too well on our little corner of the internet.

PSN Tuesday: Dead Space Extraction, Bulletstorm demo
You know her. You adore her. You may barely remember her name, but you'll never forget the face of "Dead Space Girl." If you don't plan on picking up Dead Space 2 for PS3, which includes Dead Space Extraction, you can still grab the Move-controlled port of this on-rails shooter by downloading it from PSN for $15 today -- or try the demo for free. If you're looking for something just as bloody as Dead Space, but half as mature, there's also the Bulletstorm demo. It's definitely worth a test drive, if only for the simple experience of tossing a futuristic lasso on a bad guy, yanking him toward you in slo-mo, shooting him a couple times in-process, and then kicking him full-blast into some spikes.

PSN Tuesday: Mass Effect 2, Spare Parts, Mega Man
*BOOM* Our top game of 2010 hits PSN. Mass Effect 2 is available now to download through the digital distribution network, but don't expect to be playing it right away. The title is 12 gigglebytes, which means if you start downloading now, you'll be lucky to finish before the Honolulu sunset. Thankfully, the game is also available at your local retailer in disc form. If you're feeling particularly old school, the original Mega Man is also available. There's also the Simon Pegg-voiced game Spare Parts. Check out the full PSN update after the break.

The full game of Prototype is available, along with the aforementioned X-Men Arcade and the flipping good Marvel Pinball. Also available is emo Prince from Warrior Within who, when he isn't slicing up bad guys, is constantly cutting himself as an ever-present reminder of his pain for not selling enough copies of The Sands of TIme, the result of which forced him to wear "man-scara" in the sequel.

PSN Tuesday: Dead Nation rising
Family-friendly and family-defending titles are available in this week's PSN update. The friendly comes in the form of Funky Lab Rat, an action puzzler that uses that thing called "physics," which scientist-types keep trying to tell us is a real thing -- don't believe the hype. What you should totally believe in is the zombie apocalypse, with the latest training simulation, Dead Nation, available today -- it's quite excellent when approached with a fellow, future survivor.
