PlayStation Store Update (04-24-2012)

 

Yes, I know I’m a bit late with this week’s Playstation Store update, but it definitely wasn’t my fault. When I wasn’t spending my time yesterday trying to survive a zombie apocalypse or fighting off mythical beasts, I was on Skype on my Playstation Vita telling everyone how awesome my day was. Unfortunately, that means a Playstation Store update that’s a day late, but fortunately for all of you, all of this week’s great content (and there is definitely a lot of it this week) is already up and ready for you to download.

The biggest release this week is The Walking Dead, ‘A New Day’ from Telltale Games. This first episode a five-episode long series costs $4.99, or you can pre-purchase all five episodes for $19.99. The Walking Dead is already getting rave reviews, so be sure to, at the very least, check out the demo for the zombie-filled comic book adaptation.

 

For all you PS Vita owners out there, make sure to download Skype for free this week for some free video and voice calls through your gaming handheld. Playstation Plus subscribers have the usual discounts on games like Sonic Unleashed and Hot Shots Golf: Our of Bounds, and are also treated this week to a full game trial of last fall’s blockbuster first-person shooter Battlefield 3.

And if you’re low on funds, check out the demo to Capcom’s upcoming hack-and-slash adventure epic Dragon’s Dogma, available free of cost.

Hit the jump to see the rest of this week’s Playstation Store update.
