Delighted about this as I'd been toying with picking up Catherine for a while and Malicious was always on my radar. I've got Sine Mora on the xbox and its beautiful, that will be a great addition to the Vita, I don't know much about Velocity Ultra HD though. And as noted previously, Hitman is in there too.

1 minute past 12, fail.

Great! I was planning to buy Hitman and Catherine for myself anyway.
I hadn't even heard of the other 3 until today. Sine Mora looks pretty interesting.

RedXIV

just noticed this in my own quote:

22nd April: Thomas Was Alone

Did anyone know this was on PS3/Vita? hadn't a clue??


EDIT: Just saw this on the blog afterwards

But Thomas Was Alone, ehm, leave even before entering the Store..?

Sorry, nasty typo! That should say May, of course. Fixing now.

Can't keep up with Plus at all. Haven't even had a chance to play any of the April games yet!

Delighted with Catherine and Hitman. Plus is just ridiculous at this stage

You're doing well. I haven't even played September's.

Great to see Catherine. Wanted to play it.

I'm probably going to jinx it now, but have we ever been given games that have got really bad reviews? Like Amy.

Sine Mora is absolutely fantastic. And looks beautiful on the screen.

Really glad we're getting Velocity Ultra HD too. Very good update IMO.

I don't think we ever got something that was absolutely slated. Some that were a bit controversial I suppose like Mass Effect 3 which left people very divided, and to be fair, in the 100 odd games I've gotten off them, there were definitely a few that I didn't like but that could just be me? But I don't remember any updates where people came along and said "BUT THAT GAME SUCKS?!"

I don't think we've got any real clangers.
Malicious isn't supposed to be great but based on the trailer on the blog I'll probably try it out anyway...at some time in the probably distant future

Based on the comments on the blog it looks like we're getting a Lego game in the next few months and Ninja Gaiden is also a possibility. Disgaea 3 is ruled out and no plans for JRPGs, namely the Atelier games and Graces F (which is a great game by the way).

This is an interesting question too:

"Hey Chris are we getting 6 games next month since it’ll be June and I think that’s when InFamous 2, LBP2 and Motostorm expire? And if so will the games replacing it also be Sony’s games?"

You just can't trust Sony anymore these days.

Anyways, happy enough with that update.

CastorTroy

Yeah i was wondering that about those games expiring as well. They may just say they were just to lure people in and from June on, there will be 3 less games. But I'd say they won't do that. So should be interesting to see what we get.

sin0city

June is birthday month for Plus too so maybe we will get 6 PS3 games :eek:

tonydude

once again great games this month, wanted Catherine with a while now

johnny_ultimate

You might be getting Catherine - and a damn good game it is too - but you're not getting the novelty boxer shorts that came with the special edition :cool:

penev10

Wow Catherine! Excellent. I'll be taking it off my Amazon wishlist now

Surprised to see such a niche title on PS+ but I'm not complaining.

Jikashi

Happy that Catherine is on Plus soon. I've finished it and unlocked a few endings on a friend's copy, hence my waiting for a retail price drop to get my own copy. And since the copy I played was American due to the almost-year European delay, I get to play this great game again as well as get double trophies for region stacking, woo.

So far behind ! Just finished sleeping dogs last night ....

When will Thomas Was Alone be available?

Its reportedly being released next week and will be available to us until its removed on the 22nd. But that's not official Sony source yet.

Deadly, I'll add it to my backlog so. This PS+ business is great, but it is unfortunate that my already large backlog will be getting steadily bigger each month!

Why do you think I put in a 1Tb HDD there a few months ago... Bring it on

Esterhase

My 200GB free HDD space feels inadequate now.

Nice, never did get to play Catherine. And I sold Hitman Absolution after clearing it, shouldn't have. Woohoo

Never inadequate, simply cute
Hey - it could just be 4Gig...

3 races was enough for me. It's way too slow, tracks are boring, weapons are cack.

I like Mario Kart, Little Big Planet Karting, even Modnation Racers, so I thought I would like it.
