‘Heads-Up’ Game Store Update Wednesday 25th April 2012

Greetings citizens!

This week’s front runner is The Walking Dead, courtesy of Telltale Games, who previously brought you the much loved Back to the Future: The Game.

Set within the same universe as the hit comic you take control of Lee Everett, a brand new character for the game. You’ll see the world of The Walking Dead from a new perspective, find out more about existing characters from the comic and see the emotional development of the various characters. With the success of the comic book and TV series, now you can experience The Walking Dead in a new light. What better timing than now, before the next season begins later in the year?

You’ll be able to get a Trial of the game (see below for locale details) as well as the complete episode. There’s also an option to purchase a Season Pass, netting you access to all 5 episodes (episodes 2-5 will release monthly) and an exclusive theme, all at a discounted rate.

Last Friday saw the digital release of Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention for the Vita, so if you missed it then be sure to grab it now!

I trust football fans are all over this. Released yesterday (Trial also available), this expansion to FIFA 12 gives you the chance to take on a brand new expedition mode and take on challenges based on the real tournament. Please note, FIFA 12 game disc is required.

O the back of our announcement for an all new God of War, I’m happy to also announce a sale, aptly named The God of War Sale! The sale includes the first two HD titles, the PSP games and some little bits and bobs for other games. Check out the full list below.

And finally, PlayStation Plus members all the details can be found here.
