A very very GREAT month. I guess Bioshock was for Europe.
Outlast looks fun as hell. I've wanted to play Metro and Remember Me. And I loved the first Payday. Basically Left 4 Dead but you're bank robbers.

Not a great month for me with all the FPS games lately but a pretty solid offering.
I tend to agree with CLW on this one (did I just say that? lol). The offerings are good... BUT... I'm NOT a FPS type of game player. I will check out Outlast though as it looks pretty suspenseful.

March PlayStation Plus Preview
Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition (PS4)
Free for PS Plus members
Run-and-gun through the zombie apocalypse as hit arcade shooter Dead Nation shuffles onto PlayStation 4. Fight for your life alone or with a friend as Jack McReady or Scarlett Blake as you step onto the streets of a city overrunwith undead flesh-eaters. And, if you’re feeling really brave, take a walk down the Road of Devastation – a deadly experiment that pushes your survival skills to the absolute limit as you face hordes of zombies with no extra lives and no second chances. The dead may walk – but you can make sure they don’t walk very far.
Tomb Raider (PS3)

This newest rendition of Tomb Raider explores the intense and gritty origin story of Lara Croft and her ascent from a frightened young woman to the hardened survivor that she would become known as.

In this psychological survival adventure, the masked protagonist must escape from a city ravaged by disease, by any means necessary. Lone Survivor: The Director’s Cut is a new kind of adventure where the choice of how to survive is up to you. Sneak through without firing a single shot, or kill everything in your path.

Lone Survivor is a game where your choices genuinely matter.

Dead Nation is a great little game. Not really sure the motivation behind remaking it on PS4, though. I would've much rather had Dead Nation 2.
Wow better go trade in Tomb Raider now on PS3 before the trade in value sinks to zippo.
I bought the same TB HDD I got for the PS4 to use in my PS3 with all of these good retail games and who knows when I'll get to them.

I think the Broadcast+ Mode (among other changes) may be why:
The Road to Devastation expansion is now included in the main game, giving you two extra game modes — Arcade and Endless — allowing you to test yourself against ever increasing odds. And with support for the official PlayStation companion app, all you completionists out there now have a second screen to monitor your game stats as you play.
One of the new features in Apocalypse Edition, which you may have spotted in the trailer, is Challenge mode; every time you finish a single level, you can now send your score over to a friend to try and beat. When playing a challenge you can see the avatar of the player who set the challenge, allowing you to race against them or scope out their high-scoring route. What’s that I hear you say? “What if your friends are no match for your zombie decapitating skills?” Well, how about you take on the challenge of any leaderboard entry, for any single level, made by any player?
My favorite new feature is Broadcast+ mode. In this mode, you can stream your game to the masses interactively, and your viewers can influence the difficulty of your game. Periodically all your viewers, whether they be on PS4 or a web browser, have the option to vote between a positive and negative effect that occurs in your game. There are a total of 30 different voting effects that can occur, ranging from spawning zombie packs to giving the player ammo, or even disabling the player’s ability to sprint. But don’t worry; as a player you can get back at the masses, because voters will appear in your game as named zombies for you to exact your revenge on.
Broadcast+ Mode alone has me interested in downloading and playing the game.
