This Week on the PSN (10.02.12)

Every Tuesday, Sony drops a bunch of new stuff onto the PlayStation Network. Those with a PlayStation 3, Vita or PSP can download these goodies, which include PSN games, movies, themes and more. While the Official PlayStation Blog outlines these updates in full each week, we thought we'd help truncate the good news into something more digestible.

PSN Games

Here are this week’s new games. Keep in mind that Sony is also pushing a slew of Assassin’s Creed III-related pre-orders, giving players the option to nab AC3 on PS3, the Gold Edition of the same game, or both AC3 and Vita’s iteration of the game, Liberation.
