Just letting you guys know about the great games coming next month for PS+. Of note are Trine 2, Rock of Ages, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Castlevania Chronicles which will be free downloads. Also coming up are discounts for full games, such as Saint's Row The Third ($47.99) and Rayman Origins ($15.00).

What do you guys think about all these goodies? Any games you excited to get?

Now that I know that Awesomeanuts is free I am really excited to see what it is all about.

Wow, this is nuts. So many free games.
 
So glad I renewed my subscription a couple months ago. This is the shit.

@VisariLoyalist: its worth it just for the automatic downloads and cloud saves. you can queue up a bunch of em and it will finish them whenever you setup your automatic download to take place so you can take advantage of people around you not using the internet at 4am. The free games are just the icing on the cake. Then again I probably make more of a big deal out of the cloud saves because my ps3 died and all my saves were backed up so I only lost the 2 saves I didn't back up (this was before it did it automatically).

amazing. hope sony fixes my baby up quick! also $15 for rayman: origins is unreal. might feel obliged just so i have a ps copy to compliment my 360's.

ps plus absolutely destroys XBL gold. i mean, sony gives you for free pretty much all of what a microsoft gold membership offers.. but these games and offers just get better and better.

I hope the PS+ discount is for the Vita version of Rayman: Origins as well!

Yep, PS+ has the far better deals than XBL nowadays. DotW on XBL is mostly crap, with COD mappacks every second week and so on.

@DarkDude: What's awesome about that? Silent Hill is available for free already. Awesomenauts and Max Payne are pretty much the only things worth mentioning in that bunch.

Yeah, I hate getting 13 games for free too. Fuck this shit!

I own none of those games, (other than Silent Hill which is only included on that list as it started late last month).

Trine 2 was free the other month so they wouldn't give us that again obviously.

Wait you European guys have Max Payne on PSN? Dannnnnng lucky. :P

@DarkDude: It's not "free" though, is it? PS+ comes with a subscription fee. I'm just saying that compared to previous months, this one is kinda weak. I guess PS+ has spoiled me over this past year, so when I see little of interest being offered, it kinda bums me out.

I hope Datura is good. It sounds awesome but the execution could be poor. I can finally get some use with my move controller.

@Creamypies: There's well over £5 of value there (or however much PS+ costs). For me, this is one of the best months since I joined the service a little over a year ago. I mean sure, there's not one stand out title there really or a big name full retail game but getting a bunch of decent PSN games is good for me as they're the sorts of games I wouldn't have bought myself as they're a little too expensive so it's great to get them for "free".

Definitely will play Rock of Ages and SOTN . I just bought Trine 2 on steam , but can't complain about free games . This is one of the best months for PS + , yet ..

looks good to me. I was just about to buy CSOTN, glad i forgot about it.

yeah, SotN is $10 alone.. i've wanted to play it for a while. glad i waited.

Does Awesomenauts have kick ass music like in the trailer? If so I might have to get it!

What is a full game trial? They unlock the whole game? Seems crazy if that's the case.

Ordinarily I'm with you, but Playstation Plus is pretty epic. I was a playstation hater and just bought one for Twisted Metal. Playstation Plus came free with the unit and I've been a paid subscriber since. It's great to get a mix of games every month that are directly beamed to your unit that you might not have heard of/investigated before. It only works if they're decent, which they, so far, have been. It honestly remeinds m eof when I was little and traded games with my friends. THat was the way you experienced quality games that were magazine darlings, but had a personal charm of their own. This month featured a C-teired futuristic racing game that nobody paid any attention to, but is easily as good as people feel wipeout is, in my opinion.

It's the full game for I think an hour. After that you can buy it and keep any trophies or progress if I remember correctly.

@Sogeman: That makes a lot more sense.

except that no game these days goes anywhere within an hour...

@JazGalaxy: Well there is that, yes.
