GripShift and Jumping Flash added to US PS3 Store

Sony's PlayStation 3 Store has seen its catalogue of games increase by two with the release of GripShift and PSone game Jumping Flash.

The PSP game in action

Originally a PSP game from 2006, GripShift on the PS3 is an enhanced port of the same title and blends puzzle gaming with traditional racing. The PSP game looked pretty nice for a handheld game and it looks even better on the PS3. The game now sports 720p visuals running at 60fps, improved car handling and four-player online support.

Also added to the PlayStation 3 Store is PSone classic Jumping Flash (the first game I bought for the console) which sees Robbit, a rabbit-like robot, jumping around in a 3D world collecting Jetpods which have been spread out across the game's levels. It was a fun game back when it was released and might be worth a look if you're looking for some retro 3D platforming action. Remember that these PSone releases can currently only be played on a PSP, but an update is expected later this year to enable the PS3 to play the games also.

GripShift is available for $9.99 and Jumping Flash will cost you $5.99.
