PlayStation Store (PS3) update - 14/05/09

Take some freshly painted vehicles for a spin with some MotorStorm Pacific Rift downloads, get a glimpse behind the curtain of Killzone 2, and more with PlayStation Network.

Making a killing

Take a trip behind the scenes and join Guerrilla Games, the development team who brought us the phenomenal first person shooter Killzone 2, in a two-part Making of... special. Find out how the team tried to bring the emotions of war into the game and how they worked hard to create an environment where the player is completely immersed in the action, with zero distractions.

A real Pain

Comedy action game, Pain, gets fired back into the spotlight with some smashing new content. The Sore Spots Pack gives you two additional environments to crash into, with the gymnasium at Morningwood High School or a military hangar full of secret alien technology as your targets for pain and humiliation. As an added bonus, Sore Spots will also let you take part in the PAINalympics - including excruciating events such as the Anvil Toss and the Pimp Slap Relay Race.

Want a new character to enjoy these environments with? Then look no further than the new downloadable Daxter, from the popular Jak and Daxter series. Daxter is an enterprising little ottsel (half otter, half weasel) - how do you think he'll cope with the Pain catapult? Download Daxter and prepare to send the famous critter flying.

Become Bejeweled

Experience the classic gem-swapping puzzle game, now available on the PlayStation Network. Bejeweled 2 lovers can now earn over ten unique PLAYSTATION 3 system trophies and play Bejeweled 2 on PSP using Remote Play.

Swap gems to match three or more, and delight in four different game modes and explosive new gem types. With amazing planetary backdrops and awesome special effects in full 1080p High Definition, Bejeweled 2 will dazzle you.

MotorStorm drives you wild

Evolution Studios asked six of their top artists to choose four favourite MotorStorm Pacific Rift vehicles and pimp those rides with their own signature styles. The result is 24 of the most exciting and exotic paint jobs ever produced, available for free in a Signature Livery pack every week from May to July 2009. Take a look at what awaits you in the trailer and then download the Lunar-Tec Signature Livery Pack to make your vehicle stand out from the crowd.

Join the RoboJam

Buzzer or a Wireless Controller and dive into five fantastic mini-games from the original PlayStation 2 hit, which comes to PS3 with added trophy support. Time to get buzzing...
