I picked up The Vanishing of Ethan Carter and Slenderman. Now I just need to remember to play them before they are free on PS+

Wow, Helldivers! Of course I already own it. Still it's a really, really good game. Wouldn't mind playing it with my friend in HI.

Grid Autosport is a nice one as well.

Nom Nom looks like it could be a fun diversion.

How is this for 2 player co-op? Is there a super easy mode? For some reason I heard this was hard as nails?

Zero interest in any of these games but I've got tons to keep me busy. This is the first month that I can remember where there is nothing even slightly interesting to me in both PS+ and Games with Gold.

It is tough and the friendly fire can drive you nuts. But there are easy levels. It supports couch co-op 2-4 players and online. The more players the better since your teammates can revive you when you die (but that's not as easy as in Gears or other co-op games). In any case, there's a lot of fun gameplay in that game. And it's Triple Cross-Buy as well.

There's a number of sales going on right now, including a Square-Enix one and a Far Cry one.

I got Tomb Raider: Definitive PS4 for $7.50, which is a decent deal, I think. Is Sleeping Dogs worth $10?

Okay, don't fuck it up this time, everybody!


Vote to Play March 2016: Voting Begins February 9th

Posted by Greg Lewickyj on Feb 01, 2016 // PlayStation Plus Content Partnership Manager

By popular demand, Vote to Play is back and the voting begins on February 9th! The candidates include Action Henk!, Assault Android Cactus, and Broforce. The game that secures the most votes will be added to the March monthly games lineup for PlayStation Plus members.



Action Henk!


Publisher Curve Digital and developer RageSquid have put together a light-hearted racer where you run, jump, and — yes — butt-slide your way through a host of toy room environments with past-their-prime action figures.

It’s a game where timing and momentum are key as you attempt to outdo your opponents as well as your own past performance. How can you not love a game with the tagline “Butt-slide to victory?”

Assault Android Cactus


While the mechanics of this twin stick shooter will be familiar to many, developer Witch Beam has created a unique battery mechanic (in lieu of lives), providing a fresh experience that helps Assault Android Cactus stand out from the crowd.

This one also supports Shareplay, a “virtual couch” that lets a friend join your game for up to an hour at a time, creating an online local co-op experience. According to designer Sanatana Mishra, the goal with Assault Android Cactus was to make a game that he and the rest of the team wanted to play.

Broforce

While we didn’t know it at the time, Broforce is the game that we always wanted as we cheered beloved 80’s-era action heroes on to victory. Publisher Devolver and developer Free Lives have teamed up to deliver part irreverent spoof and part loving homage to what are now classic movies and classic games.

With its online co-op experience and over-the-top presentation, there’s a really great game here that deserves the heaps of praise it’s already received.

The thread that brings these three games together: fun titles that can connect the Plus community to play together with friends. For me, personally, one of the sweet spots in game design is a title that provides casual fun for almost anyone who picks up the controller, while providing a depth of mastery for those who want to push the game’s mechanics to their limits. We hope that you’ll enjoy learning about each game and the developers behind them before casting your vote.

Starting February 9th, if you’re a PlayStation Plus member and you want to cast your vote, simply log into your PS4 with your PSN account and access Vote to Play under the dedicated PlayStation Plus section on the top left corner of your PS4 home screen. You can also go to What’s New or visit the PlayStation Plus section of the PlayStation Store, where you’ll find details for Vote to Play.

We look forward to seeing your votes!

Okay, fair enough. Let me think.... I'm going to go with Broforce since I'm so tired of shitty, difficult Indie retro platformers that look like crap. Both consoles give them away almost every month.

But honestly none of those look all that great and none looks as terrible as Grow Home.

Well it turns out that if you got that version and redeemed the code, now you can play the Special Edition of the game without inserting the disc. All the Super Earth Edition DLC is downloadable to the PS4 console and compatible with the PS Plus downloaded version of the game. Nice.

I think I'll have to pull the trigger on SW:BF on that price.

Have to recommend NHL 16 and Rory McIlroy at those prices as im a fan of both.
