Super Stardust HD goes cheap and Battlefield Heroes goes free
To celebrate its anniversary Super Stardust HD is on offer on the Playstation Store for £1.59 (1.99 euros). You shouldn’t need any convincing to snap it up at this price as it’s one of the best shooters on the Playstation 3. Be quick though, the deal ends soon!
In other news (always wanted to say that!), DICE and EA’s free online cartoon-style first person shooter – Battlefield Heroes, has finally come out of beta. I’ve had a quick blast on it and it’s well worth a download. You will need real money if you want to customise your character to any extent but, so far, it seems perfectly possible to play the game and not need to spend a penny.
Just get to http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/ and sign up.
A bit of advice: Make sure you register an account and log into your account BEFORE you click the “Play Now” button and launch the Battlefield Heroes updater. (Initially I didn’t log in and ended up getting annoying “Build not found” errors whenever I tried to play the game. Very frustrating for an hour or so until I googled the solution!)

It’s a fun blast but it does need more maps and challenges and stuff to do really. They did release a bit of an upgrade in the last couple of weeks so it’s worth keeping an eye on.
I’d say worth a look if you have an hour to waste, but don’t expect anything to compete with COD4 or even Battlefield 1943.
