A rather tepid shower of offerings this week on PSN: Ferrari: The Race Experience is the only new PSN game and the playable demos are equally barren with just DJ Hero 2 on offer.

Elsewhere, there are at least a slew of tempting special offers, including a deduction on the ridiculously priced Modern Warfare 2 DLC and a new batch of PlayStation Plus content is also available to subscribers for this month.

Hit the jump for a full list of this week’s updates.

It’s long been known for some time that Polyphony Digital managed to secure a deal with the popular BBC motoring show Top Gear for Gran Turismo 5 that will bring full episodes and the iconic Top Gear test rack into the game. Not wanting to feel left out, Turn 10 has now also struck a deal with the BBC to release exclusive Top Gear content for Forza Motorsport 3.

As a result, a re-release of the game entitled Forza Motorsport 3: Ultimate Collection has been announced for release in October and will include all of the previously released DLC (which will bring the total car count to over 500), along with exclusive Top Gear DLC consisting of the “Stig’s Garage Car Park,” a 90 minute video and a Top Gear Xbox Live Theme.

Who gets tired of shooting zombies?  No one, am I right?  Well to be honest zombie games are starting to become the new World War II setting of this generation in my opinion. Though  if you are still in need of extra zombie action then the best place still has to be the Left 4 Dead series of titles from the people’s developer, Valve.

Valve made us all aware recently that the new “The Sacrifice” DLC would be coming really soon.  Well they’ve gone and elaborated on “real soon”, turning it in to a firm date.  That being the 5th October.

With the launch of a certain new motion peripheral in Sony’s arsenal, this week’s PSN Store update is something of a bumper Move special, with no less than nine playable Move demos to appease the early adopters.

Another week, another Nintendo Download, another morning where I wake up only to realize I still have ConSars. If you were the person who sneezed on the controller at Kirby’s Epic Yarn or hacked up all over Killzone 3…you deserve myNotebook Tan.

So, if you are like me and are confined to your bed because someone was selfish and decided to give their germs to 70,000 people in a small room, why not kick back with some new downloadable games?

There’s sadly not much to shout about in this week’s PSN store update, with notable content rather thin on the ground.

Today Blizzard Entertainment released the first new official custom map for its insanely popular RTS StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. Dubbed ‘Burning Tide,’ the new map pits two teams of three against each other in a race to reach a set number of resources.

Think that sounds easy enough? Well, of course there’s a twist. Much like the campaign level ‘The Devil’s Playground,’ Burning Tide features periodic lava flood which interrupt your resource gathering. Read more… »

It’s your favourite day of the week! That’s right, it’s Idonthavetogotoworktoday. As much as I would have loved to sleep in and enjoy the government-sanctioned holiday, especially considering the fact that I managed to get less than eight hours of sleep over the entirety of the weekend, I am here to bring you the Nintendo Update.

Seriously, PAX was great. There are plenty of wonderful titles headed to Nintendo’s downloadable services in the coming months. So keep an eye out. Until then, you’ll have to make do with these.

Hit the jump if spending your Labor Day with “peculiar cowboys, deadly samurai and feathered friends” sounds like your idea of a good time.
