    This is another of this month’s free games from PlayStation Plus (like Tiny Troopers Joint Ops), and it’s been a pleasant surprise to play it. I knew absolutely nothing about it, and so it came as a nice surprise to see not only a beautiful and colorful game like this, but one that’s fun to…

    Last night I started playing through this month’s free games from PlayStation Plus – Stories: The Path of Destinies I’ve already played through and hugely enjoyed, while Invisible Inc. I played a bit of on my Mac, and I do plan on giving the console version a try. First up I played Tiny Troopers Joint…

    I’ve always been curious about the Tropico games, but have never played one until now (thanks, PlayStation Plus). The sim genre is admittedly not one I get very excited about, but I have had fun with some in the past – I never go really deep with them though. I’ve just gone through the tutorials…

    Also in the PlayStation Plus lineup this month is Switch Galaxy Ultra, which from the screenshots looked pretty awesome to me. Although it looks like a hover racer, it’s a bit more limited than that, and instead plays more like the grinding levels in a Ratchet game. I haven’t spent that much time with it,…

    On top of all the games I’ve been able to play courtesy of the “Friends of Nintendo” Humble Bundle, it’s also the start of a new month, which means new games from PlayStation Plus. I was quite looking forward to playing Table Top Racing – I sure love me some racing – and after putting in…

    Another game from this month’s PlayStation Plus lineup that I was quite looking forward to playing is Shutshimi – like I said, I really like 2D shooters. I’ve just played a bit of it, and right now I’m not sure if I’m missing something, but I’m a bit underwhelmed. It’s a neat idea, to play…

  • Dead Star

    This is one of the offerings from this month’s PlayStation Plus lineup, and one that I was quite looking forward to playing, as its the first original IP from Armature (born out of a few developers who worked on Metroid Prime leaving Retro Studios). After reading about it, I figured it would be right up…

    I’ve just had a quick taste of Nom Nom Galaxy – also part of this month’s PlayStation Plus lineup – but it definitely feels nice to be playing a PixelJunk game again (my last one was Shooter 2). It’s not generally the style of game I’m attracted to – building/developing – but just like I…

    I first experience Nova-111 a few years ago at BitSummit in Kyoto, while also recording a PechaKucha presentation with its creator, Eddie Lee, and I really liked what I played. I’ve finally gotten around to playing the full game – it’s offered this month as part of PlayStation Plus, and I’m playing the PS4 version –…

  • Trine 2

    Of the new PS4 offerings through PS+ last week, this is the one I’ve played the least, but I was curious to see how it looked, and unsurprisingly, it looks great. I played the original Trine – on PS3 I think – and it’s a game I had fun with. I like platformers, and I…
