This week on the PS Vita Store: Soul Sacrifice, Zombie Tycoon 2, and Farming Simulator

This week on the PS Vita Store, there are some horrible human sacrifices, scream-inducing zombie uprisings, and gruesome harvestings.

Okay, so that last one is actually a reference to the act of harvesting on a farm, rather than, you know, harvesting bodies or what have you.

What I'm trying to say is, though, the PSN Store is a scary place to be right now. Don't let that put you off, mind, as there are some great new downloadable games available.

Let us delay no longer...

Full-price releases

HOW long have we been waiting for Soul Sacrifice, eh? It's been a while, certainly, but this bloody mess of a game is finally here.

I loved my time with this Monster Hunter-styled hack 'n' slasher. You probably will, too. It'll set you back £29.99 / $35.99.

Farming Simulator is finally on PS Vita. This popular German simulation game costs £6.49, and, well, you might want to wait for our review before you buy it. These sorts of games can be a bit hit and miss.

European PS Vita fans can download Machinarium this week. It's a lovely little adventure about a robot who most definitely can. Well worth the £4.79 asking price.

Zombie Tycoon 2: Brainhov's Revenge is a rather interesting prospect. Here is a strategy game where you control the zombies rather than the survivors. £7.99 / $9.99, thank you.

(If you're a US PS Plus subscriber, by the way, you might want to scroll down before considering whether to buy Zombie Tycoon 2 or not.)

Oh, there's a hot, hot, hot sale on in the US Store, too.

Yep, our American cousins can pick up PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale for $24.99, Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection for $24.49, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time for $18.49, and LittleBigPlanet Vita for $24.99.

Zombie Tycoon 2 is completely free to American PS Plus subscribers this week. Which is nice.

And you remember all those sales we mentioned, like, two paragraphs ago? On Metal Gear Solid, Sly Cooper, and whatnot.

Well, knock another few dollars off each of those prices if you're a PS Plus subscriber.

PlayStation Mobile releases

After the torrent of new PS Mobile titles last week, I'm left wondering if Sony accidentally let too many of them out of the gate at the same time.

That's because this week there are absolutely no new PS Mobile games at all.

Ouch.

Only one new PSP title this week, sir.

T.A.C. Heroes is its name. Old war strategy is its game. From what I've read online, it's not worth your time or your cash.

But, hey, if you really need some PSP gaming in your life this week, LittleBigPlanet PSP is on sale for $10.49 (or $7.34 if you're a PS Plus subscriber.)

Back again next week.
