Another Thursday, another update to the Sony PlayStation Store, and another Game Rant Weekly Update.

It's a slow week for both retail shelves and on the PlayStation Network with EA's Dark Void being the only full-title Sony release.

In what could be consider the Rocketeer with aliens, Dark Void has some unique moments to offer players - especially in the way of mid-air combat (however the ground based mechanics are somewhat less inspiring). The title, though not receiving a particularly aggressive marketing campaign, is expected to provide a decent gameplay experience - so make sure to check out the Dark Void demo that arrived on the PSN last week. If nothing else, Dark Void gives us another opportunity to swoon to the sweet sounds of Nolan North... voicing protagonist William Augustus Grey.

For the PSP, don't forget to check out the Gran Turismo car pack which is about the only PSN release worth anyone's time this week - and it's free. The add-on provides another 5 cars, in exclusive colors, for Gran Turismo's portable sibling. So, if you've been enjoying GT for the PSP, make sure to pick-up this download.

Here is the Full List of Release Information:

Dark Void

Dark Void is a single player sci-fi action-adventure game for PlayStation 3 that is destined to change the way gamers think about third-person shooter combat.
