Happy June! New month means new free games for PlayStation subscribers (yes, I know not really "free"). If you've got an active subscription, then you can get Sonic Mania and Borderlands: The Handsome Jack Collection starting today. The former is a great nostalgic throwback to the days when Sonic and Mario duked it out for "best platformer," while the latter seems like it might be pretty conveniently timed.
The month of June is a special time; swimming, summer camp, cookouts, and killing, all of these are are better with friends. However, only one of the aforementioned joys is free with PlayStation Plus this month. Killing Floor 2 and Life Is Strange lead the way, with the latter being a single player melodrama, but the former a deadly co-op delight.
Those with a Sony console know that there is more than one monthly scheme around these parts that provides 'free' games. PlayStation Plus is moseying on down on the 7th February with Little Big Planet 3 free to all scheme members - yeehaa!
Before M$ had the idea to give away a couple of 'free' games every month, PlayStation were offering the service. Yes, this may be because PS+ is a paid service, but a game for $0(ish) is nothing to be scoffed at. The protagonists of the Saints Row series are used to taking things for nothing, so don't feel bad that in July you will get Saints Row: Gat out of Hell for nada.
Sony's "Vote to Play" system returns this month to ask all PS Plus members "what should be one of the free games offered in March?" The three games up for your selection include two solid co-op titles: Assault Android Cactus and Broforce. I won't lie, that's a tough choice.
It's been a rough few months for Sony and their increasingly self-conscious security system. First the cyber attacks in late November exposed plenty of company info to people who proceeded to broadcast it to the world. Then came Christmas morning. Good girls and boys cranked up their brand new PS4's, hoping to download some hot titles from PSN, only to be met with silence. Thousands of brand new PlayStations cried out to the internet, begging for an answer that would never come.
Octodad: Dadliest Catch has been selling very well lately, with over 90,000 units sold to date. Since the projected PS4 version's release date was announced for early this April, many people are wondering about how Young Horse will be approaching their release of the game itself. Might the game be available for free via PlayStation Plus? Here's what the developer had to say on the matter.
April's Instant Game Collection for PlayStation Plus has been revealed and we can hardly complain about its offerings. Not only are a bunch of really sweet PS3 titles like Batman: Arkham City and Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, and PS Vita titles such as Pixeljunk Monsters Ultimate HD on this list, but a PS4 game that hasn't even released yet: Mercenary Kings.
The Monster Hunter franchise is massive. It may not have sold by the bucket load in the West, but in Japan it is one of those games you have to play. Owners of a PlayStation Vita and a PS Plus Membership can now recreate a day on the Bullet Train by downloading Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for free.
The PlayStation 4 may be out on Friday, but this does not mean that Sony are forgetting about the millions of PlayStation 3 owners still out there. The latest co-op PS3 game added to the Instant Game Collection, available to PS+ subscribers, is ibb and obb.
It’s a tough start for launch titles. The new highly anticipated IP Watch_Dogs has already been delayed until 2014, and we’ve got word of another delay hitting the PlayStation 4 specifically. Evolution Studies announced that DRIVECLUB is delayed until early 2014, and that includes your PlayStation Plus Edition as well.
We've all gained a few pounds over the years. I remember back in 2007 I could fit into my Mankini without a problem and sit and play Halo 3 all day long with 3 of my co-op buddies - not anymore. However, from October 16th you can recreate this scene yourself as Halo 3 goes free as part of Games with Gold on the Xbox 360.
