[Every week, Gamasutra rounds up the titles released for the major console and portable digital delivery services, as compiled by console digital editor Ryan Langley, including the latest 3DSWare and titles from the newly renewed PlayStation Network.] While the PlayStation Network is back up and running, this is the second week in a row in which we have not seen an update to the Xbox Live Arcade. Admittedly, E3 is the worst time to release something, but even still -- a single release could have been nice. The 3DSWare shop is also now open, allowing the first 3DS Virtual Console titles and the first free downloads. Hopefully we'll see more from this in the future. PlayStation Store (North America) newadventureisland1.png Wahey! We're back to your regularly scheduled program. This week we get a few more TurboGrafx titles -- New Adventure Island ($5.99) and Soldier Blade ($5.99), alongside Back To The Future: The Game – Episode 4, which is free for those with the subscription. Alongside this are two new minis -- Zombie Racers ($6.99) and Cohort Chess ($2.99). There are also a few sales at the moment: Tetris – E3 – Sale Assassin’s Creed – Digital – E3 – Sale Assassin’s Creed II Deluxe Edition Digital – E3 – Sale Warhawk – E3 – Sale Warhawk Booster Combo – E3 – Sale Warhawk Broken Mirror Pack – E3 – Sale Warhawk Fallen Star Pack – E3 – Sale Warhawk Omega Dawn Pack – E3 – Sale PlayStation Store (Europe) rrtype4.png There were two updates this week for the PlayStation Network, attempting to get us all up to date with the past month and a bit of releases.
