Hell yeah, best update on January for me so far! I was actually looking for buying this game, glad I didn’t make it, haha !
Hey Morgan, Darksider as the “main” game + NBA Jam already worth a month for me, but can we expect more free games within this month?
As i said on an early post, a few months ago, it would be really nice to have at least 1 free game per week, even if some of them are more “simple” games, but it would keep us always with something fresh to play (of course, I won’t complain if you give us another AAA game this month, hahaha =D ) !
Heey looking good Sony! :)
Looks like that the last week feedbacks were really worth it! Thanks for listening! :)
EPIC! This game has been on my radar for a while. Anyone know if you can install games on an external drive? I already juiced out my system with a new drive and that’s nearly full with the games.
Nothing for me this week!
PS Vita = PS –
Wasn’t stardrone already free on VITA?
no vita love. oh well.
give us vita plus owners something good when you do, i can wait.
where is mgs peacewalker?
and please, we really need some kind of ad-hoc wifi party app on the vita. i can’t play mhfu unite online, xkai link is weird as hell to set up and i still ain’t done it right. roll us some good gaming apps.
Will the digital Darksiders save file be compatible with the blu-ray copy???
I’m getting frustrated when games create new save files for the digital copies…
Rayman Origins, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, Tomb Raider Underworld, etc.
lol people get a top tier game, and a fair number of them still complain. How sad. I’d really love to know where people are seeing Darksiders for $5/$10. Best I can ever find is $15 used, which is still much more than what my PS+ costs a month.
These are the games we should be getting!
Well, at least it’s a retail game. I bought this on PSN a while back when it was on sale for $10. And I also have both Stardrone and Stardrone Extreme… but at least there’s a poll answer to convey that now. Decent update, but I already own it all… maybe next week…
Nothing for me :'(
Nice update! I have the second one on PC but haven’t started it yet, so I’ll definitely have to try this one out first! :)
Nice. I had Darksiders and played about half way through but lost interest. I have Darksiders II and still have to play more. Either way I’ll add it to my download list because I’ll come back to it at sometime down the road.
Need more JRPG / RPG for Playstation Plus members!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love this……..
@Ashilyn Yep, show me where it is new for $10? Walmart had silent hill downpour in the bargain bin for 10 bucks but not Darksiders. Used ones are $10 at Bestbuy tho.
Darksiders… favorite game of this generation, but of course that means I already have it Sadface.
More interested (and freaked out a lil) in Siren…. literally just started thinkin about it last friday and huntin local stores for it. Spooky. And on the subject of Siren… don’t you think its time to lower the price of Blood Curse episodes? Most people don’t even know it exists, yet its one of the best horror games ever made. And at 40$, I can’t blame em.
Really? Really? …this is what PS Plus members get this month?
I got and beat this game ages ago when you offered it digitally for $10…
Last month, EU gets Arkham City and we get Bioshock 2 (great game, but bargain bin)
This month, EU gets Bioshock 2 and we get Darksiders (great game, but bargain bin).
The only reason I rejoined PS Plus this month (only a 3 month subscription) was for the God of War Beta.
Edit: and apparently EU received Darksiders a while ago…
Nothing for me again this week.
It’s refreshing to see the positive feedback this week, the game is amazing and deserves praise. I played it already but everyone who hasn’t shouid try it out.
@BurntGoliath Yep so now you know what u r getting for next year;) DOnt buy it then.
WELL IT TOOK A MONTH BUT WE FINALLY GOT A 3rd PERSON GAME
for this is my first comment on the network. i would like to
everyone at sony for being in my life.
ps keep up the good work : )
ahh damn :( i want this for eu
@223 umm EU has had this since June…
please morgan, dont forget psvita, we need more content asap
and btw I need to buy the original silent hill (ps1 game) for my psvita but its only in the ps3 store =/
Finally Something good!
@elpsydominator Silent hill 2 is the best Silent Hill.
cysis 1 or 2 please and or siren blood curse free or at least discounted is what i would like to c
I already played this game last year, it was pretty fun.
Note to new players of this game: You will get VERY frustrated in the Black Throne levels lol, I wanted to toss my remote so many times!
I’ll give it a go again though if only to get all the remaining trophies.
Great stuff as always!
Well, this should weaken whiners’ wishlists a bit. Maybe this can keep up and we’ll see less mob mentality in the comments (though, of course, still warbles, as below).
However, this is another title that I have [access to] on disc, and have digitally via Steam, though at least now I don’t have to bother dropping by my brother’s place to swipe it. I’m in the boat of wanting PSN-exclusives (or at least download-exclusives), due to not finding them anywhere else.
In that mindset, I may well look into Stardrone. Not much difference between $2.50/$2.49 and $2.00, but it’s at that dollar amount that I start to get impulsive, now.
I already own Darksiders, but OMG, what an awesome game. I think I got stuck in a major glitch way deep into the game but ended up restarting and eventualy playing through about 3 times. If its your 1st time playing this then kudos for you. This title is solid all the way through….Keep on Gaming.
@Morgan: No no. I’m not saying that this was a good pick because it’s a full PS3 game. I think you miss my point. I’m saying it because it’s not only a good game, but because it’s not a broken, unenjoyable, critically bashed game like Chronovolt for example.
It’s not so much about the monetary value of a game, but more about it’s quality and Darksiders is a quality game. For example, Shatter is a pretty cheap game, a small experience, and a PSN only title yet I thought that was a good Plus addition when that was given to us because it was a great game of great quality. Get what I mean? I’m not so good with explaining things lol.
Got it!
