Yakuza 4, LEGO Star Wars III & Dragon Age II Demos Launch On PSN

This week the PlayStation Network Store update sees a batch of huge game demos making their debut. This release is alongside a whole host of PSN fully-downloadable games, PlayStation 3 game add-ons, PSP titles and even a PS1 release. There is also a rather large Minis sale and more special offers, such as the new reduced-price 90-day subscription to DC Universe Online, which will certainly come in handy for those players who have just had their 30-day free trial expire. They can now renew for another three months at approximately 30% off the regular price.

The big demos that are seeing the light this week are; Dragon Age 2, LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars and Yakuza 4. The first two titles both weigh in at around one and a half gigabytes, with Yakuza 4 being a mere 400 MB. So be sure to set aside a big chunk of time for all of these to download! Dragon Age II has been hugely anticipated and fans finally have a chance to sample the latest from Bioware. After being released last year in Japan, Yakuza fans have also had a long wait for number four, but have been promised a full, uncut experience this time around after some controversial localisation measures last time out. And what more can be said about the LEGO Star Wars series? Expect more of the same – which is no bad thing.
