Sony serves up an eclectic mix of offerings to the PlayStation Network storefront this Thursday, spearheaded by interactive music experience .detuned. Developed by demoscene group .theprodukkt, it fosters creativity by allowing players to create dynamic artwork by means of manipulating various scenes in a highly stylized experience. Other notable mentions are Mushroom Wars, BUZZ! Junior: Monster Rally, and topatoi: The Great Tree Story.
Additionally, Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty and Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars have been given a temporary price reduction, bringing the two PSN titles down to $9.99 and $4.99 respectively.
And finally, for those disappointed in last week's offerings on the PSP front, Sony has expanded the list of UMD legacy titles by nine. We'll take that as an apology. Now available are hits like Midnight Club L.A. Remix, SOCOM Tactical Strike, and Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max. See the full list after the break.[blockquote2]Updates
