The list of games that faithful PlayStation Plus subscribers are gifted are usually announced right round today. It seems that at least two regional PlayStation online store has let the cat out of the bag a little early. According to Poland and the UK’s PlayStation services, these are the sort-of free games you’ll be getting in Europe this month. They don’t excite me very much.
Here they are.
PlayStation 3 owners will be treated to the excellent basketball sim, NBA2K14, along with 2D indie survival horror Lone Survivor. They’re both good games, it’s just that sports game interest me not one drop and I already own Lone Survivor.
The PlayStation 4’s offering is also an excellent game, but it’s one I already own and played on the PS3…even if it has been jazzed up a little. It’s Pixeljunk Shooter in its ultimate incarnation. It’s an incredibly fun, co-operative puzzling, explorative twin-stick shooter..with neat fluid-based physics. It supports cross save, cross buy and even cross play with the Vita version of the game too.
Lastly, there’s Dragon’s Crown for the Vita, which will get some people excited. Yes Umar, I’m talking about you. It’s a co-operative action-RPG that plays out like a fancy Golden Axe, and features witches with giant breasts. It’s probably the most exciting or interesting game in the entire line-up.
Once again though, we have a PS Plus list that doesn’t particularly enthral. Microsoft’s Games with Gold is starting to get better, offering gems like Dark Souls and Street Fighter IV, while PS Plus’ are getting worse – but that could just be my own tastes talking.
Sports, indie, indie, Japanese crap.
What do you think of next month’s line-up?

Hahahaha!!! I don’t mind at the moment, I have Watch Dogs!! Will probably get Murdered: SS, and pick up Sniper Elite 3 so yeah don’t give me any games I want at the moment…. My plate is full!!
Oi, Geoff can you maybe get the last two or three trailers for Sniper Elite 3… You guys seem to be missing what is starting to look like a very decent Sniping game here!!

I really like Sniper Elite V2, it won’t win any awards but it is such a rush when you blow a guys skull away!! And that sound with the visual is just awesome!! I also enjoyed Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2, both different but both have some very good ideas on what it would be to go out and snipe people!! I am so excited about the game, first day purchase for me without a doubt. The reviewers will find fault and I will see their faces when I kill me some Nazi’s!!

Giant boobs are fine & dandy, but do they have realistic jiggle physics? Otherwise what’s the point really, they’re about as useful as Madonna’s chest cones.

Sports – worth a look it’s free and probably couch co-op
indie – haven’t played it yet but I will

Still, it’s four games I never played. I don’t feel that entitled I mean the yearly subscription costs less than a new PS4 game.

I don’t think it’s an entitlement thing. It’s just that we have received some epic games in the past, and the last three months have been a bit underwhelming.

Personally I understand the PS4 PS+ offerings will always be a bit meh at the moment because we are at the start of this generations cycle. I’m actually surprised they’ve managed to put up any full games so far. So I’m happy.

Ever since the Sony financials hit the fan the quality of “free” titles have dried up. I think it was a great move by MS to hold out on Games with Gold for the Xbox One if they saw this coming.

I am going to say it – besides Resogun, the games for PS4 for myself personally have been underwhelming. I know the launch is not even six months back but thought by now we would get something more than PSN indie games or remakes. But I suppose I got enough backlog to keep me going until something sweeter comes along.

I did enjoy it – but not a title that blew me away. I think I was too spoilt during my PS3 days and now with the free titles coming out for PS4 – Let’s just say it is not what I expected even though I understand the console is new.

May 28, 2014 at 09:00
Same here, luckily I held on to my PS3. I know Sony will come through with bigger budget games for the PS4 though.

well, from the point of view of a PS3 user anyway. When you have stuff like X-Com, Tomb Raider and Bioshock… this feels substantially less.

GTA V is one of the most successful games to have ever hit the market. Apart from an already great set of missions, users can further enhance the gameplay experience through a series of cheat codes. Bidness Etc takes a look at the best of these http://goo.gl/vdMPcO
