Better than a six year old game that 360 is offering :D

They're completely different services so you can't compare the two, but yes, they're both rather weak. The difference is that the success of Plus depends upon the games because it's a rental service. When you're offering up old and dying games that have already have massive sales, it kind of defeats the point. Xbox Live, on the other hand, could offer up Hannah Montana and no one would care simply because they're not paying for the free games, they're paying for the plethora of features that Xbox Live provides.
Now if Sony ever matches those features, then I wouldn't have a problem with the games that they're offering, because I'd consider my $50 a year well spent on things like cross game chat and invites.
Bit Trip Runner 2 is the freebie for PS+ tomorrow. Looks like Street Fighter X Tekken will be on sale. Curious to see what the price will be.
August 20-26:
For Vita ... Street Fighter X Tekken is $19.59 for Plus members :down: but Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is $10 :))
Starting tomorrow, PlayStation Plus subscribers can download a Star Wars Zen Pinball 2 table pack for free. Normally priced at $9.99, the pack includes Star Wars: Episode 5, Clone Wars and Boba Fett-themed tables.
Additionally, PSP and Vita owners can pick up Darkstalkers Chronicles: The Chaos Tower free this week on PlayStation Plus, and both Divekick and Ms. Germinator are discounted to $7.99 this week, each offering Cross Buy support for Vita and PS3 owners. Lastly, Killzone: Mercenary's multiplayer open beta program starts tomorrow, and opens up to non-PlayStation Plus subscribers on August 27.

Anyone know if there is a way to control what titles are downloaded from your PS+ account? My nephew will most likely be getting + for his PS4 and I'm sure they won't want him being able to download any Mature rated games.
Pretty cool that Assassin's Creed III is coming to PS+, even though I already have it :D
I was the same way. It was very confusing early on, especially with the "prequel" I guess you'd call it for the first couple hours. After finally getting deep enough into the game to start reaching the point with the pre-war stuff (Paul Revere's ride, Boston Tea Party, etc.), the actual war itself and whatnot, it got better and the story started to become easier to follow. But yeah, I was completely lost for a good third to first half of the game until you started getting more into the war stuff.
It's a good game, they did a good job on it, but the story for somewhere between the first third to first half is just so disorganized and convoluted that you have no clue what the hell is going on half the time.
I loved al 3 Ezio games. It was cool to watch the evolution of his character. Old man Ezio was a badass. Like Smooth just said, the beginning of AC3 is one giant "WTF?" I honestly have no idea why I do the missions I do. I was ok in Europe and on the ship but once I hit America, I got lost and haven't picked it back up.
LOL i've been asking SC about AC recently so I guess procrastination has its perks. :nod:
September's Lineup:

Not bad, Rayman will be fun to play through again on the Vita.
Tried those 5 year old shooters they gave us last week....not for me. This week :zzz:
Galaga Legions :up:
PS Plus members will get a free PS Vita download of Rayman Origins this week. While the delightful (and sometimes punishing) platformer failed to make it into our Top 10 of 2012, we assure you it was one of the year's high points.
In addition to the free game, PS Plus members may also enjoy their requisite weekly discounts on a select group of games. Playdead's indie darling Limbo is down to $12, Worms: Revolution is $7.50 and Lone Survivor: The Director's Cut – a cross-buy enabled psychological adventure game for PS Vita and PS3 – is on sale for $11.69. Finally, pinball aficionados can slam on the virtual flippers of Pinballstik and its DLC at varying discounts.

The Big games for October are Far Cry 3 for PS3 and Street Fighter X Tekken for Vita :up:

Kingdoms of Amalur, Poker Night 2, Shadow of the Colossus, Hotline Miami(cross buy), and Sine Mora (Vita) are October's games for the US. Have everything except Sine Mora for the Vita.
Damn you SC with your AC III rumor. Would have bought/played the game otherwise. Now its just too late before PS4 drops. :smh:
No kidding, EU's offering routinely curb stomps the US. If it weren't for Plus being required to play online next gen, I'd switch to an EU name and have Plus on that.
I have Amalur. I played the demo to get the unlocks for Mass Effect 3. I liked the game but I HATE that everyone talks BUT your character. I'm totally fine if no one talks and it's all text like in Zelda games but it's an immersion breaker for characters to respond to themselves while talking to the main character.
Poker Night is genuinely fun and really funny...for about 30 minutes. Then it loses it's charm.
Still, EU is just killing it with their offerings. Pretty sure they had KoA several months ago to boot. I was expecting Assassin's Creed 3 and Far Cry 3 to eventually show up, so it's a little disappointing when everything is revealed and neither one of them are there. Didn't Sony announce Assassin's Creed 3 was coming to Plus during their E3 conference?
3 replies at exactly the same time? Hot damn, what do we win?
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is coming to PS+ in November! To Europe :smh:
