As Jonathan reported earlier, the new (free!) map pack for Unreal Tournament 3 is now available for download from the PlayStation Store. You’ll get Facing Worlds and two other maps I couldn’t care less about because Facing Worlds is the greatest thing ever, courtesy of Epic Games and Midway. That sure is awfully nice of them, and it makes me wonder if we’ll get to see a similar pack for free on Xbox 360 once the game gets moved over to Microsoft’s box.
Turok also is getting the downloadable content treatment today, although it’s not free. $4.99 will net you five new maps (although that statement might not hold true if you don’t view changes in time of day as constituting a “new” map).
$8.99 is the asking price of the new flOw bundle, which simply includes the full game and its expansion pack. Nothing new about the actually content, but if you want to take the plunge with flOw, this is the way to do it.
For the next two weeks (until April 15) you’ll find Warhawk on sale for just $29.99, $10 cheaper than it normally costs. You can use that saved money to buy some of the downloadable content that’s been released for the game since last August, or maybe you can just change paces and pick up that flOw bundle.
Videos, themes, Rock Band tracks, and an update to High Stakes: Poker Edition are also new on the Store. Hit the break for the full list of content. Read the full article

Following a supremely lackluster update to the store last week, PSP owners can browse over to the PlayStation Store for PC and find two new downloadable games – flOw ($7.99) and Ape Escape: On the Loose ($14.99). Not too shabby, although the price of flOw seems several dollars too much when you take certain things into account.
Downloadable Games
- flOw ($7.99)
- Ape Escape: On the Loose ($14.99)
Game Videos (free)
- God of War Chains of Olympus Trailer
- Ape Escape On the Loose behind the scenes #1

The more-of-an-experience-than-a-game title that is flOw made its PlayStation debut on the PS3 a while back on the PlayStation Store will be released on the PlayStation Store for PC today. PSP owners will be able to buy and download the game, although I’m left wondering why a game that served as more of a tech demo and relied heavily on Sixaxis motion control is being released on PSP now.
Associate Producer Randall Lowe claims that SuperVillain did a fine port of the game that stays true to the original, which only makes me further wonder how much fun this game will really be on PSP.
Nevertheless, it’ll be available today for those of you who are interested.

In a bit of a departure from the norm, this week’s 1UP Show is focusing on two smaller developers, both of whom make their home on PlayStation Network.
The first is Q-Games, represented by their president, Dylan Cuthbert. In case you’re not amiliar with them, Q-Games developed the PixelJunk series, kicked off by PixelJunk racers in January of this year.
Also featured is Thatgamecompany. This small developer started by a few students at USC is exploring the boundaries of games as art. Their most recent entry on PSN was flOw.
As usual, you can grab the 1UP Show at the FileFront links below.

The bizarre Pac-Man-esque downloadable game flOw, originally developer for the PlayStation 3, has been announced for the PSP and will be released on the PlayStation Store for PC on March 6. The game is being handled by SuperVillain Studios with the help of the game’s original developers, thatgamecompany. Now that’s a hell of a name for a game company.
A post on PlayStation.Blog claims that SuperVillain Studios’ focus was to “ensure that the sights, sounds, and feel of the game met the highest of standards for the platform.” That’s all we know at this point, but we’ll have our hands on the game in less than a month.
