Playstation Plus

Been under $10 multiple times the past 2 months, so I'm really not a fan of that even if it isn't old as hell. Bit Trip Runner 2 is free this month, but I hate runner games. Zen Pinball 2 Star Wars is nice (and I'm pretty sure I actually don't have it already). Machinarium is nice for the Vita game, even though I'm pretty sure it was free for the PS3 version not too many months ago.

The only thing I'm truly happy about is Rayman Origins at $5 tomorrow. Fantastic game and I'll happily play through it again for $5.

Better than a six year old game that 360 is offering

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.

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.

I guess the 4 will have a mature setting with a password somewhere

Pretty cool that Assassin's Creed III is coming to PS+, even though I already have it

I have it too. I haven't gotten too far into it. I'm not even sure what's even going on.

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.

Just finished "Brotherhood" last week. I saw AC3 in Target for $40 and told myself to wait until I finish "Revelations", glad I did

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.

Doesn't sound good.

LOL i've been asking SC about AC recently so I guess procrastination has its perks.

September's Lineup:

Not bad, Rayman will be fun to play through again on the Vita.

Yeah was surprised no AC III. At this point I think I'll just rent it on GameFly or just pick up the series with AC IV with PS4.
