Playstation Store Update (02-28-12)

Now that the Oscars are over, the biggest awards left to give out are the 2012 Gamer’s Choice Awards, which have taken over this week’s Playstation Store update. But beyond the nominees, this week’s update is full of quality releases, demos, and extras.

First and foremost this week, the multiplayer component of Killzone 3 is now available as a full, stand alone download. The game is available for free with a level cap or you can access the complete version for fifteen dollars ($7.50 for Playstation Plus subscribers). Other prominent releases this week include Storm, an elemental manipulation puzzle game from developer IndiePub, and a full download of last fall’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Playstation Plus members this week get half off on Killzone 3 multiplayer and 20% off on Touchdown Fever Mini, as well as the 13 free games previously available.

Hit the jump for this week’s full update.
