I've wanted to play La-Mulana ever since I got really into Spelunky a few years ago. Wasn't aware it was on Vita so that was a pleasant surprise. Looks like it's going to be a really challenging Platinum but I'm definitely up for it!

mysticmosh said:Another utter crock of shite. Every month feels like I'm being sucked back into the 80's where my only hope of getting back to my own time is to play 2d shit graphics games on my state of the art next gen console!.Before you all start with the lambasting or I should be grateful bollocks, it's only my opinion and no-one is going to change that.Totally agree. Another dire selection

Thanks for all those facts Prem, I'm going to use them to help build my case against someone that thinks plus sucks lol, this a good month as always, people just aren't willing to try games :( plus the guy I'm arguing with has been an xbox fanboy since pretty much the launch of the 360 lol.

I understand these games are free(mium) but I'm really starting to garner disdain for what's been on offer lately.

Will be giving a pass on the collection this month, methinks.Agree as well with this, I don't mind the odd month of "8 Bit Side Scrollers" but we seem to getting flooded with these games.
I know Sony and Gaming companies are out to make money and cannot give us AAA titles on release but how about some games like Everybody's gone to the rapture or Ethan Carter, those types of games.

I am sure when we are gone and aliens come to earth in thousands of years time and find videos of people playing 8 bit games on a so called sophisticated system they will think no wonder this species is extinct.

Nvm a quick refresh sorted it. That was weird.I had that the first time i looked at the article; I assumed it was my 3G messing up. I don't really like trailers anyway.

The PS3 games look visually better than the PS4 games

Oh well lets see how they play at least

AmorousAardvark said:Just Twisted Metal for me. Been 20 (!) years since I last played that back on the PS1. Absolute zero interest in the others.I remember my mate bringing that to my house and we were playing for hours hooked, it was great fun.

Everybody's gone to the rapture has only just released, and also it's a big hit so seems like that would be a huge amount of lost sales, doesn't make sense...
Try Ether One, provided by plus May '15.

p.s. I don't think any of these games are freemium
