Fresh off the heals of the Killzone 3 multiplayer maps and weapons reveal, we’ve got even more Killzone-related news to share. Starting this Thursday, there’s going to be a new Killzone mini-game in the Central Plaza of PlayStation Home. We’ve included a trailer below so you can see it for yourself, but it looks like a stationary FPS that has you mowing down hoards of the ‘red-eyes’ as they attempt to invade Home. The cool thing about this game is that it allows you to unlock points that can be used in Killzone 3 when it launches next month. There’s also a new ISA outfit to be earned for your Home avatar, if you’re in to that kind of thing.

Argh, Home? I don’t wanna go home…
Sounds pretty cool though!

Ahhh, ‘Home’, I remember that. Does anyone really still use that?
Tuffcub
Yes, millions of people.

I read the headline as “Killzone Mini-golf Coming to Playstation Home”. I’m now a little disappointed.

This is just in the American Home for now. No news on the EU space. And @Amphlett Yes about 50 odd of us used it in January.

It’s also available to the EU, just read about it on the PS blog. You have to go to home square where you get a “transporter” to the US servers.
Think this is a great move from Home, where what you do in a mini-game can have an influence on a full title. More incentives like this will get more people coming into Home!

Is Killzone 3 available as a download as well?
It says we can pre-order from Home, but what would the point of pre-ordering a download be?

It links you to Amazon, and that’s where you preorder from.

No, it’s over 40GB remember – I don’t think many people would want to download that over the PSN!

Looks awesome, brilliant way to attract people back.
