Playstation Store Update (05-08-2012)

This week’s Playstation Store update is headlined by a ton of amazing Playstation Network exclusives with the release of a unique first-person adventure called Datura, from Sony Santa Monica and Plastic, and a huge sale on every game from the PixelJunk series in anticipation of the upcoming release of PixelJunk 4am. Many of these titles are offered for as low as $1, so definitely don’t skip out on games like PixelJunk Shooter and PixelJunk Eden.

Datura, developed by the studios responsible for the God of War series and hit PSN indie title Linger in Shadows, is a first-person adventure unlike any other.
