Fixing decker's post:

Sorry, it works on my iPad. I'm out and couldn't see what it looks like on a PC. Anyway, it's a really cute clip for two great games well worth a buck each.

That is fucking awesome.

Between this and that "sharing games" clip, Sony is doing some really subtle and clever viral stuff.

Both are great games as well.

They've certainly come a long way from this:



Haven't played Critter Crunch on PS3 but I have it on iOS. Might be better suited for that platform, IMO.

PS Plus Update for 7/30:

Dokuro (PS Vita)

Regular Price: $13.99, Free for PS Plus members

Dokuro is a stoic, little skeleton who is a mere peon in the Dark Lord’s army. One fateful day he witnesses his master returning with a helplessly abducted Princess he intends to force into marriage. At once smitten by her plight, Dokuro resolves to free her from the Dark Lord’s treacherous, monster-infested castle. Along the way, Dokuro must switch between his Skeleton and Hero forms to utilize his various skills and abilities. While the Skeleton form allows him to stalk about in the shadows and ensure her safe passage, the Hero form enables him to mount a gallant offensive against the armies of darkness!


PixelJunk Monsters: Ultimate HD (PS Vita)

Regular Price: $14.99; PS Plus Price: $11.99

The definitive PixelJunk Monsters experience! Tikiman the Forest Defender is in trouble. Hordes of monsters are sweeping through his realm, hoping to chow down on his offspring – and it’s up to you to defend them. Whether you’ve played the original, or have never taken PixelJunk Monsters for a spin before, this is an amazing way to experience a classic PSN game.


Max Payne 3 Sale (PS3)

Max Payne 3 – Regular Price: $39.99; PS Store Sale Price: $9.99; PS Plus Price: $7.99
Max Payne 3 Ultimate Edition – Regular Price: $69.99; PS Store Sale Price: $14.99; PS Plus Price: $11.99

For Max Payne, the tragedies that took his loved ones years ago are wounds that refuse to heal. No longer a cop, close to washed up and addicted to pain killers, Max takes a job in São Paulo, Brazil, protecting the family of wealthy real estate mogul Rodrigo Branco, in an effort to finally escape his troubled past. But as events spiral out of his control, Max Payne finds himself alone on the streets of an unfamiliar city, desperately searching for the truth and fighting for a way out.

Sweet. I'll get Dokuro for sure.

Darn...was hoping for the August announcement.

First Monday of the month for the PS Plus preview. Sometimes they tip their hat on the Thursday before when they put out their Blogcast (but not usually).

That's a pretty good deal on Max Payne 3 Ultimate. I mean $4 for the Rockstar pass, that's not bad.

August free games:

Hitman: Absolution (PS3)
Zen Pinball 2: Star Wars Pinball (PS3)
Bit.Trip Presents Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien (PS3)
Machinarium (PS Vita)
Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower (PS Vita, Compatible with PS Vita)

Also a big Rayman sale. I will buy the shit out of Rayman 2 at $1.50. Love that game. (edit: apparently Rayman Revolution, the PS2 release, is the version of Rayman 2 to get)

Of course that's full of games I already own (Hitman, SW Pinball). I'm wondering if that Darkstalker Chronicles game is really a PSP game (PS Vita, Compatible with PS Vita doesn't make any sense).

Thanks Chess, wow, more trophies for the vita, hahaha. Wow! Hitman:A free for PS+, I've been waiting for it, sweet.

Don't feel bad Decker, I purchased a few games (like Dokura for Vita) before I was PS+... I sort have a new rule now, for older games, I will not buy them unless it's under $10.

Just finished the free Back to the Future episode. Anyone have a clue if my save will work if I grab the disc version or will I have to start over?

Yup, checking the internet between patients, it's a PSP game from 2005. One more free PSP game I'll never bother to download or play. Oh well.

Probably not... The PSN version and disc version have different trophy sets. Telltales fixed this for Walking Dead (disc and digital have same trophies).

It looks like Hitman Absolution got some very positive reviews, but it also looks a bit stealthy for my taste. I'll lock in a license, but I'm not sure I'll give it a full download.

Jealous of the Euros who got Need For Speed: Most Wanted this month. I already have it, but it would have been nice to drop it off at Gamestop to offset some of my PS Plus cost.

I'm also not as excited as I was about Rayman 2. All of my memories of that game are from the Dreamcast version, and it was apparently by far the best version. But for $2.50, I might give the PS2 version a shot. If you don't have Origins, it's a steal at $5.

so glad I have an unopened Hitman that I got for $15. :-/

Same here, except I paid $20

Bummer.

I think they're mostly the same trophies, but the disc version has a plat and the digital version doesn't. They won't transfer from one to the other though. So even if the save worked, which I don't know that it would, you'd probably have to replay the first section for the trophies if you were interested in getting the plat.

The Back to the Future game was fun but some sections were a bit tedious. I wish I would have waited until the disc version as I got every trophy in the game except the platinum.

Son of a BITCH!
