This week's North American PlayStation Store update is stuffed with new musical selections for Rock Band 3, Def Jam Rapstar and Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, new jams that far outweigh the number of new playable games for the PlayStation 3 and PSP.
PS3 owners can pay to play Crescent Pale Mist, a stylish side-scrolling shoot 'em up from Rockin' Android, perhaps the best way to spend six bucks this week. If you're cash poor, maybe the new Apache Air Assault and CSI: Fatal Conspiracy demos will help you pass the time.
I think I'll download a little "Blue Monday" by New Order for Rock Band. What about you?
