That PlayStation Plus membership will feel like a much better investment today, now that the Mortal Kombat demo for PlayStation 3 is online and available only to PS+ subscribers. The rest of us can taken consolation in a huge flood of new PSone Classics.
It's a veritable feast of new old PlayStation games in this week's North American PlayStation Store update. Disney's Peter Pan, Hercules, Lilo & Stitch... the games you've been waiting for are all here. Those and Ridge Racer 4. OK, so maybe they're not the PSone Classics at the top of your list, but we already got Vagrant Story, people!
Also on the playable list is TestYourself: Psychology, "a series of interactive psychological tests that combine science and fun and give you real scientific analysis of each aspect of your personality and mentality." Tons of downloadable content for Rock Band 3, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, LittleBigPlanet 2 and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood are also worth your PlayStation dollars.
Here are this week's additions in full.
