The "Random News and Comments" thread gets this every now and again, but because of how good a PS+ subscription is and the regularity of top-level games being available for free (well, the subscription cost aside), a thread devoted to it seems appropriate.

 

At present, these are the games that are available for free for PS3-:

• Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
  
• The Cave
  
• Catherine
  
• Demon's Souls
  
• Ico & Shadow of the Colossus
  
• Malicious
  
• inFAMOUS 2
  
• The Lord of the Rings: War in the North
  
• MotorStorm Apocalypse
  
• LittleBigPlanet 2

 

In the coming weeks, LBP2, inFAMOUS 2 and MotorStorm are being removed, which is a big deal as they have been on the list since the Instant Game Collection was introduced. In their place, we will be getting Uncharted 3, XCOM and LittleBigPlanet Karting.

 

In addition to the Instant Game Collection, there are also games that have discounts for PS+ subscribers, meaning the amount of games I've personally downloaded for free far, far exceeds the cost for being a member.

 

I genuinely can't recommend the service enough.

Agreed, it'd be amazing value even if it was 3 times the price.

I need to renew mine tomorrow when I get paid

Next month we're getting Battlefield 3, Payday The Heist and Saints Row 3, along with Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus and Unit 13 for PSV. Suck it M$, with your shitty attempt at duplicating PS+.

Xbox can suck it. 40 quid better spent on PS+ than Live. So many top rate games all for free. Ie already got Payday, but Uncharted, Catherine, Battlefield, XCOM, LBP Karting, Saints Row 3 and Shadow Of The Collosus are worth my money alone

Next month for PS3: Spec Ops: The Line, Mafia II and Need For Speed: Most Wanted.

PSV: Lego LOTR and When Vikings Attack.

 

Suck it, M$.

Oooh, I wouldn't mind a go on NFS seeing as how it's "free".

I said the same thing about NFS. Mafia II will get a go too.

Mafia II was a great game to play and left me genuinely bummed-out (in the right way) at the ending.

 

Next month, Assassin's Creed III is the big freebie.

The release schedule for October has been released and it is comprised of -:

 

Far Cry 3 (PS3)

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams (PS3)

Dragon's Dogma: DA (PS3)

Street Fighter X Tekken (Vita)

Touch my Katamari (Vita)

Ooooh, I'll definitely be giving FarCry a rip. Probably Dragon's Dogma too.

The next batch of games for PS+ have been leaked and here's a list of what's leaving and what is coming in on October 23rd -:

 

Leaving PS Plus

Far Cry 3

Mafia 2

Spec Ops The Line (NBA 2K13 in UAE)

Street Fighter X Tekken

Touch My Katamari

 

Entering PS Plus

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

Remember Me

Oddworld Strangers Wrath (Vita only)

MotorStorm RC (Vita, PS3)

What's up with Stranger's Wrath being Vita only? I am disappoint Sony.

It's already been on there for Ps3.

Damnit. I love that game, but my xbox copy doesn't play on the 360.

What's up with Stranger's Wrath being Vita only? I am disappoint Sony.

 

You should download it anyway just in case you get a Vita. I still have Uncharted Golden Abyss waiting for when I get one.
