PSN Today: Crysis 3 beta, GTA Vice City, Hitman HD Trilogy, more
It’s another big week for the PlayStation Store as Sony and Electronic Arts have added a Crysis 3 open beta to the PSN. The beta is available to download for free by all PS3 owners from now until February 12. The digital download version can also now be pre-ordered through the PS Store, so you can be sure you’ve got it first thing on February 19.
Also available this week is Square Enix’s Hitman HD Trilogy. The up-rezzed versions of Agent 47’s second, third, and fourth games are available as separate PSN downloads or as one combined bundle.
Going back in time a bit, this week also sees the addition of a trio of games that were previously available as disc-only releases including Platinum’s Bayonetta, Konami’s Zone of the Enders HD Collection, and Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (that one’s a PS2 Classic).
There’s even that’s new to the PlayStation Store this week. You can read all about them after the break. And don’t forget to visit the PlayStation Blog for a list of this week’s new game add-ons. (more…)

New Releases: Hitman HD Trilogy, More
Here we are at the end of January and the end of the new release drought. This week is still a little short on new releases (next week will be much better), but this is what’s new in stores:
Hitman HD Trilogy: Agent 47’s second, third, and fourth adventures (don’t ask) come to the PS3 and Xbox 360 in high definition.
Heavy Fire: Shattered Spear: The latest game in Mastiff’s budget line of first person shooters is also available on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
And the Rest: Three download-only games are available for PC players this week including Kalypso’s bootleggin’ strategy RPG Omerta: City of Gangsters, Paradox’s fantastical strategy RPG DungeonLand, and Sega’s kart racer Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed

Hitman HD Trilogy officially announced
I think it’s fair to say that Hitman: Absolution has divided the video game community since its November release (to say nothing of the battle against the naughty nuns). But Agent 47 will get another chance at redemption in 2013 when Square Enix releases the Hitman HD Trilogy for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Scheduled for release on January 29 in North America (February 1 in Europe), the Hitman HD Trilogy will include Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, Hitman: Contracts, and Hitman: Blood Money. Expect the usual complement of Achievements/Trophies and a high definition graphical makeover.
