Dead Nation added to PlayStation Store @ Gaming Target

Written by John Scalzo on December 01, 2010

News: Along with a pair of PSone Import Classics.

Does the world need another twin-stick shooter? Um... maybe. What about a world that's been overrun by a slobbering horde of the newly undead? Then the answer is most definitely yes! So say hello to Dead Nation.

The zombie shooter was added to the PlayStation Store yesterday and PS3 owners can download it for $14.99. That price drops to $11.99 if you're a PlayStation Plus subscriber.

Also available this week is Funky Lab Rat, a game that asks players to help a rat escape from a lab and two PSone Import Classics: Blockids, a Breakout-like game; and Dezaemon Plus, a game that lets you design your own shoot 'em up.

More information on all these titles can be found below.
