Bionic Commando Rearmed is out now on the European PlayStation Network.

Yeah, we were kind of surprised too. Bypassing Europe's regular PSN update, Bionic Commando Rearmed has stealthily slipped onto the PlayStation Store. The game is £6.99 for UK residents and €9.99 for everyone else.

20 years after the 8-bit classic was released, Bionic Commando Rearmed recreates the world of the original with a complete visual revamp. Bionic Commando Rearmed preserves the original's mix of swinging and shooting in an intense 2D side-scroller, all to the tune of a brand-new soundtrack based on the classic 8-bit music from the NES masterpiece.

Now that it's available in all three major territories, there's only one thing left to do: play it!

    Great but those prices are awful. Wasn't it like 9,99$ in the US? and now it's 9.99€. Europe the land of taxes :3

    edit: i just checked, it's 9.95€ not 9.99€ :p

    Damn shouldn't have bought it with my us account :(

    Anyway this game is of retail quality and better than most blu ray releases, the price is more than fair for a game this great. I intend to buy it again, we don't want Ben Judd to get fired :-)
