12: 40 pm. The night of All Hallows Eve is quickly approaching, and this week's European PSN update is fully and appropriately ' ween-themed. There's the release of Costume Quest (the relevance of which is obvious), as well as Swords and Soldiers, which is ... a kind of costume, we guess. Then there's new DLC for Dead Rising 2 (spooky!) and Split/Second (which features car crashes, which are even spookier), and finally, there's the launch of the PSOne Classics Pong and Centipede, which have absolutely nothing to do with the Halloween theme whatsoever. Choose your platform to view the corresponding release list:(Note: Continue past the break to view both release lists.)

2: 00 pm The European PSN update continues its hot streak of delivering intimidatingly large piles of games and demos to nosh on--like, for instance, the first episode of Sonic 4 and Dead Space Ignition, as well as a trial of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2. Handheld aficionados can now pick up the demo for God of War: Ghost of Sparta. There's a ton of DLC too--check it all out after the jump! Choose your platform to view the corresponding release list:
You might not call it Thanksgiving where you're from, but you'll still be feasting on delicious ghosts this week -- so don't ruin your appetite on just pellets! Oh, and one more thing: You might not know this (if you don't eat a 20-pound turkey once a year), but eating too much Thanksgiving bird can make you really sleepy. Similarly, gobbling up ghosts can have its own ... "side effects."
