See you in the comments! (oh, and no there are not any April Fool’s jokes in this post; I tried!)
I would like to delete one of the ps plus games that I downloaded but its no on the ps plus free list any more,would I be able to re download it or would I have to purchase it ?
It’s pretty simple, people who dislikes the update is because he has probably already played Demon’s Souls, or because he just expects products for Vita, since the Demon’s Souls is a huge update, they can’t give us much more, what they might do, is give you discounts on Vita products.
I myself haven’t played Demons Souls, so it’s a pretty nice update for me, Thank you.
@472 you can delete them and download them again for free i do it all the time ,go to the psn store and check your download list all the stuff you downloaded from the past should be there
Hooray Sony, keep giving NA the lackluster updates… seriously, Both NA AND EU PAY for this service, why all the different games? Just not cool… If things don’t change soon then I’m definitely not renewing my subscription when it expires in September…
N7Recon said it best about people contradicting themselves. Complaining about Demon’s Souls being old, then point to EU getting Okami. Last time I checked, Okami was a seven year old game, an HD touch up doesn’t mean it’s a new game. Not everyone owns Demon’s Souls. A lot of people like myself have recently got a PS3, and heard about it, but were on the fence about getting it. Me personally, I haven’t played a medieval type game since Deathtrap Dungeon for the original PlayStation way back in the day.
I just feel bad for Morgan, dude tries to do good, gets dumped on, and for what? The thing that made me sign up wasn’t even a PS3 game, it was “Super Street Fighter 2 HD Remix”, then gave out Scott Pilgrim and Double Dragon Neon which was a throwback for all of us 80s babies/90s kids. Plus, Shank 2 was a great game. Then on top, PS3 games I’ve been looking at “Resident Evil 5, Super Street Fighter 4” and others.
I can say that “MY” money was well spent. Even if the service was for non PS3 games, It was worth it. Like I said, I just feel bad for this dude Morgan, decided to make my first comment on here, and let him know there are people who really like the service.
Severely unimpressed with the plus games coming out the past couple of weeks. ALMOST not worth it these past couple of weeks. Also getting tired of these PSP games for the vita instead of ACTUAL vita games.
Okay, well this sucks, now i go through all march with no quality content. This is awesome for everyone that doesn’t have the game tho. Sony why not put two big twenty dollar games instead of these ridiculously low rated 10-15 psn games. I say bring us some quality content instead of mediocre games, id trade all these psn games i’ve gotten so far for something decent. Can you guys bring something like Kingdoms of Amalur, okami hd, lord of the rings war of the north, ,games that lots of people haven’t played but would love to? Kingdoms of Amalur, would be a great game to add to IGC. High rated, not many people have played, rpg. I just don’t understand the point of these mediocre psn games that 95% of people wont even bother playing.
Sucky month for vita owners. But @ SadSnooze I like seeing some psp games besides just vita games but i’d like to at least see one full retail vita game per month. @Morgan Haro Maybe we can get a little mix of psp/vita/ and psn type games every month.
i really cant say the update is amazing but @ the same time its not as bad as many say ….. looks good to me tbh.
@ Morgan i think we r due for a sport game no? SSX or fight night would be good i think but im sure u know better :) …if not then discount & u can happly have my $$
NFSMW dlc discount plus on the delux bundle would be nice too …….not sure its EA :(
will ther be any more discount this month?
*i REALLY CANT wait for Dishonored Knife of Dunwall but im not gonna kill corvo if thats wat they want me to do :(
and Dishonored 2 will be on PS4 bet i’ll be blinking one Skyscraper to another OMG
I got smart, I decided to buy PlayStation plus EU on ebay because they get way better games. I don’t care that I had to pay $70 for it. I instantly got Mass Effect 3, Mortal Kombat, and Dead or Alive today with there update coming tomorrow for April’s games. I will say this, this does look like the first month the American plus is better in sense the first month of the instant game collection. I no longer will be jealous of European plus.
others should do the same because Sony loves its European customers more
With Guacamelee coming next week, and Soul Sacrifice at the end of the month… This is a good month for the Vita, just because of those two. This added new free PS+ game adds to this already Spicyyyy month for the Vita…. Yesss…. Spicyyyy…..
@475 Demon’s Souls was supposed to be taken down multiple times, but the community rallied every time it was announced so the server shutdown was always put off. Then with the announcement of the digital version, it was stated that the servers would be active indefinitely.
I like the PSP games in the VITA IGC and hope they remain. Fighters however are not high on my desired genre list.
EU vs US. Unless they give us the same until the end of time, comparisons will always happen. I will say that I like that they get 2 retail titles per month. However on the other side we get awesome PSN titles that they might not get. So I guess it’s give and take.
This months content. Nothing for me thank you. But I will likely at least try Malicious and Labyrinth, you never know when fun can be had.
Nice. I became a PSN Plus member last month, so this is my second post. Last month I had a wonderful time with Spec Ops: The Line, a game that I would not had played if it weren’t for PlayStation Plus. But in this case I already own Demon’s Souls. Despite this fact, I’m still looking forward to the other games (3 games !) because I don’t know them, so it will be a surprise.
Being objetive, is a pretty good update, Demon’s Souls is a game that anyone who consider himself a gamer should play. Like a few comments said, this could be the perfect excuse to return to the game and take advantage of the online.
I’m a bit disappointed, though. I know I shouldn’t but when I read that Okami HD was becoming free in PSN+ EU, I had the hope that maybe would be available here as well :(
Demon Souls its an amazing RPG with a metascore of 89!!! 40 hour of basic gametime and close to unlimited if u try all!!! and yeah its 3 years old but u know PS3 are selled every day ritgh? many players (old and new ones) havent try this game yet !!!
Labyrinth Legends have some nice reviews on metacritic and Zombie tyccon will be free at release date!!
We are investing 5$ by month and recieving close to 50 in prodcutos and a lot more if u use descounts!!
4 games his month for PS3 (1 full game and 3 new PSN ones) and 2 for vita as usual!!
I am VERY happy with this update, find it even better than last one (spec ops and the cave was great! but short :( ) also i was hoping for an RPG and still hoping for more!!
This months stinks. Not that the games are necessarily bad, but I don’t see myself liking any of them.
Everything here is a little too niche if you ask me. And outside of Demon’s Souls, none of those games seem popular, or even recognizable to your average gamer.
Variety is good, and using Plus to expose us to lesser known stuff is good too, but each month should still offer at least one or two games that appeals to a broader western audience.
Stuff like CoD, GTA, Uncharted, God of War, Assassin’s Creed, Mass Effect… those are the kind of games that are popular nowadays. It’s not just those games, it’s the genres. That’s the stuff I love. Nothing this month really caters to my kind of tastes. Demon’s Souls… maybe, but it’s still no Mass Effect or Skyrim.
Europe’s updates always seem to have that kind of gamer covered, and I think that’s a big part of why people seem to prefer it to what we get here.
I’m excited about Labyrinth Legends, and I’d like to give malicious a try. I’m not a fan of Demon Souls though. I also sold my copy of soul calibur so now I can play it some more again.
Extremelly underwhelming. After all the complaints for last month, I was expecting at least Mass Effect 3 (somewhat recent game with a still active multiplayer) or the MGS: HD collection for Vita (with a spin off being just released and the attention because of MGS5). Instead, Demon Souls, a five year old game who most of the people interested in already have.
My PS+ account still has a few months in it, enough to finish all the games I have downloaded. If stuff continues as is, I will not be renewing it.
Cool, I just started playing Dark Souls a few weeks ago so I look forward to Demons Souls :) Also really enjoyed The Cave last month (just wish it was longer!) and looking forward to Labyrinth Legends this month! Also I’m getting more tempted to either dust off my PSP or go buy a Vita every month.
Disappointed about the Vita update, but the PS3 titles are really good. I guess it’s time for me to play Demon’s Souls again, since I lost my save file when my PS3 died on me and even thought I made a backup DS has copy protected saves… so I ended up rage quitting lol. So this is great, I can go back to die at every corner again yay! (It’s an amazing game for those who hasn’t played it)
Also, Malicious. That’s an awesome thing to know! I’ve always wanted to buy it before, it was good I waited! Also Labyrinth Legends looks really fun! Too bad it’s only for the PS3 it would be really good on the Vita.
It wasn’t the best update, but it was not bad either (Please bring Okami HD next time and also Mass Effect. Metal Gear Solid Collection too!)
My store is now updated and I see the free demon souls. I was excited about buying the Walking dead bundle for the PS Plus price of 10.49. However, mine still says 14.99. The individual episodes are listed as 2.99 on sale
@486 Zombie Tycoon 2 isn’t out yet. It is free to us on April 30th so I believe that is the day it comes out as well. I feel your pain as it’s the only game this month that I have even the slightest amount of interest in. Everything else is bargain bin liners, another PSP fighting game(useless to most everybody), an absolutely terrible PSN game(Malicious) and a so-so PSN game if you are into retro dungeon crawlers. NA Plus hasn’t impressed me much as of late. Last month was alright but nothing to call home about. We certainly don’t get treated anywhere near as well as EU members do, and we never get an explanation why. Kinda frustrating but whatever. I’m mostly interested in the discounts offered these days because the freebies usually suck. I could care less about a free game every single week when the game blows. I would personally prefer 2 or 3 quality titles which aren’t half a decade old and appeal to such a niche audience every month than what we are getting now. Our retail offerings are terrible compared to EU and where we used to see good PSN offerings we are now getting Malicious and Foosball and throw away crap like that.
I would like to delete one of the ps plus games that I downloaded but its no on the ps plus free list any more,would I be able to re download it or would I have to purchase it ?
@473 Check your “Download List” it should still be in there.
It’s pretty simple, people who dislikes the update is because he has probably already played Demon’s Souls, or because he just expects products for Vita, since the Demon’s Souls is a huge update, they can’t give us much more, what they might do, is give you discounts on Vita products.

Feel like it should be called instant “indie/PSN” collection

Is Labyrinth Legends as fun as it looks?
i really cant say the update is amazing but @ the same time its not as bad as many say ….. looks good to me tbh.

hmm a another fighting game, i was really hoping for rpg games for vita. however demon soul will keep me busy this month :) thx for the update.
Kingdoms of Amalur? OMG that game sucked. I’d rather play Demon’s Souls.
@457 Looks like your sub is already gone. No gold plus over your avatar, like me.
I will be downloading malicious, and lybranth legends. Possibly Demon’s souls. Already have soul Calibur. But I seriously cannot wait for malicious.
I got smart, I decided to buy PlayStation plus EU on ebay because they get way better games. I don’t care that I had to pay $70 for it.

I was going to buy this last month. I just saved some major cash. :D
With Guacamelee coming next week, and Soul Sacrifice at the end of the month… This is a good month for the Vita, just because of those two. This added new free PS+ game adds to this already Spicyyyy month for the Vita…. Yesss…. Spicyyyy…..
Awesome update. How big of a file is Demon souls?
Any idea when today we’ll be able to download Demon’s Souls
Demon’s Souls is 8GB
is demon souls online still online? i heard they took it down? also any other games for plus members that are free got online?
@475 Demon’s Souls was supposed to be taken down multiple times, but the community rallied every time it was announced so the server shutdown was always put off. Then with the announcement of the digital version, it was stated that the servers would be active indefinitely.
SO what game is being released this week?
Just for the opinion poll Morgan.
I like the PSP games in the VITA IGC and hope they remain. Fighters however are not high on my desired genre list.
EU vs US. Unless they give us the same until the end of time, comparisons will always happen. I will say that I like that they get 2 retail titles per month. However on the other side we get awesome PSN titles that they might not get. So I guess it’s give and take.
This months content. Nothing for me thank you. But I will likely at least try Malicious and Labyrinth, you never know when fun can be had.
Before any one starts yelling when is the store going to be updated I have one thing to say: Go to the search and search up the game
@477 I did! And it still demons souls is still 20 bucks :(
thanks @ 476
Nice. I became a PSN Plus member last month, so this is my second post. Last month I had a wonderful time with Spec Ops: The Line, a game that I would not had played if it weren’t for PlayStation Plus. But in this case I already own Demon’s Souls.

Keep it up! looking forward to next month :)
TOO MANY FREAKING FIGHTING GAMES! THOSE ARE THE STUPIDEST GAMES EVER!!!!!!!
Demon Souls its an amazing RPG with a metascore of 89!!! 40 hour of basic gametime and close to unlimited if u try all!!! and yeah its 3 years old but u know PS3 are selled every day ritgh? many players (old and new ones) havent try this game yet !!!
Labyrinth Legends have some nice reviews on metacritic and Zombie tyccon will be free at release date!!
We are investing 5$ by month and recieving close to 50 in prodcutos and a lot more if u use descounts!!
4 games his month for PS3 (1 full game and 3 new PSN ones) and 2 for vita as usual!!
I am VERY happy with this update, find it even better than last one (spec ops and the cave was great! but short :( ) also i was hoping for an RPG and still hoping for more!!
I am actually quite glad I got PS Plus and I’m definitely going to renew it next April… Thanks a lot for these games Sony! :D
PLEASE! Stop giving me all those great games. I’m out of time for playing them! :)
Thanks for the good work!
p.s. This monthly update is way better than the weekly one!
I bought Demon’s Souls back in 2010 and still haven’t beaten it due to frustration. lol
I should’ve just waited for this PS+ update. =P
It’s an amazing game, nonetheless. I’ve just bought so many other games, since then, that I haven’t had a chance to finish it…out of unwillingness.
I’m planning to use this Summer to catch up on my game collection, though.
where Zombie Tycoon 2 i can’t find in PSN
Demon’s Souls is already for free just search it in the PS STORE
@480
I’d love Okami HD to come to the North American PS+ Free Games list!
I can’t believe that Europe’s PS+ was able to get the MGS HD Collection on their list, as well!
@487 – Thanks for the heads up, got it downloading now.
I would love to see some SCEA game on ps plus. Those games are always the best. Ico, shadow, GOW, Uncharted. You name it.
My two cents…
This months stinks. Not that the games are necessarily bad, but I don’t see myself liking any of them.
Everything here is a little too niche if you ask me. And outside of Demon’s Souls, none of those games seem popular, or even recognizable to your average gamer.

Terrible selection. Europe has had much better choices recently. As an owner of both a PS3 and a Vita, I won’t be getting any of these.
Disappointed about the Vita update, but the PS3 titles are really good. I guess it’s time for me to play Demon’s Souls again, since I lost my save file when my PS3 died on me and even thought I made a backup DS has copy protected saves… so I ended up rage quitting lol. So this is great, I can go back to die at every corner again yay! (It’s an amazing game for those who hasn’t played it)
Also, Malicious. That’s an awesome thing to know! I’ve always wanted to buy it before, it was good I waited! Also Labyrinth Legends looks really fun! Too bad it’s only for the PS3 it would be really good on the Vita.
It wasn’t the best update, but it was not bad either (Please bring Okami HD next time and also Mass Effect. Metal Gear Solid Collection too!)
My store is now updated and I see the free demon souls. I was excited about buying the Walking dead bundle for the PS Plus price of 10.49. However, mine still says 14.99. The individual episodes are listed as 2.99 on sale
anyone else seeing this??
The Walking Dead Season Pass appears at 14.99 an not at 10.46 for plus members.. do you know why? It’s going to be later this month or week?
ummmmmmmmmm……sleeping dogs please!!!!!!! For the love of all that is good n decent n holy!!!!
@486 Zombie Tycoon 2 isn’t out yet. It is free to us on April 30th so I believe that is the day it comes out as well. I feel your pain as it’s the only game this month that I have even the slightest amount of interest in. Everything else is bargain bin liners, another PSP fighting game(useless to most everybody), an absolutely terrible PSN game(Malicious) and a so-so PSN game if you are into retro dungeon crawlers. NA Plus hasn’t impressed me much as of late. Last month was alright but nothing to call home about. We certainly don’t get treated anywhere near as well as EU members do, and we never get an explanation why. Kinda frustrating but whatever. I’m mostly interested in the discounts offered these days because the freebies usually suck. I could care less about a free game every single week when the game blows. I would personally prefer 2 or 3 quality titles which aren’t half a decade old and appeal to such a niche audience every month than what we are getting now. Our retail offerings are terrible compared to EU and where we used to see good PSN offerings we are now getting Malicious and Foosball and throw away crap like that.
