Extremely sweet. After a month like this, I guess it puts an end to thread asking if Plus is worth it. Shank and a relatively recent NFS game? For free? After Trine 2 was free last month? It's been an amazing year for Plus users.

Also, if you love retro games (well, somewhat retro), Silent hill is a winner.

RE 2 & 3 last month as well.

Shank 2, Shift 2 for free?

Don't mind if i do!

Only had PS+ for 2 months and it's already more than proved its worth.

It's nice because it's the only one of the original trilogy (before the nonsense that was Silent Hill 4) that isn't in the HD collection.

Shift 2 and I am Alive.

Here I come

[AbandonedTrolley]

No doubt the haters will be along soon to say there is nothing there of interest to them and how Plus is a big waste of money.

Great update for April and my subscription has possibly been one of the best purchases I've made, just after PlayTV which I got on launch and have used ever since.

Yep. I got my subscription to plus as soon as they launched it and I've renewed once. I think it is a no-brainer to get a subscription if you've got a PS3.

[TheLegendOfMart]

Whats I Am Alive actually like?

I remember seeing it donkeys years ago and being very excited for it.

It dropped off the radar then appeared again recently, I've tried looking at reviews but it seems to get wildly different scores for each website.

Is metacritic a reliable average metric?

[Muhammad Farrukh]

Whats I Am Alive actually like?

I think its a good one. I saw, not played, a bit on 360. It looked okay.

IGN hated it. 4.5

GameSpot liked it. 7.5

[DiamondFootprint]

Shift 2 for free? Shaaaweeeet.

[Boxster17]

Still have to get around to playing the first Shank game but my friends who've played it all seemed to have enjoyed it. Also nice to see Shift 2 there, been a game I've had my eye on for a while but never actually bought. Have had other things keeping me busy as of late but I'll definitely get around to it at some point here.

When is Arpil?

[compl3x]

When is Arpil?

Right after Mrach and just before Mya. :)

It's been too long since I posted the topic so I can no longer edit it. If a mod would be so kind, I'd be much obliged :)

[AbandonedTrolley]

Noticed that my subscription was ending the middle of this month, just managed to pick up a ?35 PSN card for less than ?28 so that's the bulk of the subscription paid for think I have the other ?5 in my wallet already. Not quite as good as my previous year for ?30 deal but still pretty decent for 12 months.

[MightyJordan]

Fooking hell! Shift 2 for free is freaking sweet! :woot: That's a bloody decent game if you're using a steering wheel. And I might actually be able to complete Silent Hill this time around, as last time I played (when I was very young), I had no idea what the hell I was doing. :p

Getting more and more tempted to sign up for Playstation+

[AbandonedTrolley]

Yeah this month is certainly one of the better months when it comes to a premium game rather than some independant release that not many would have heard of.

Looking forward to another 12 months of stuff. Fortunately when I changed to a slim I also shoved a 750GB drive in there, so the more games the merrier!

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

Really good start to the year, hope it can be maintained. I own Shift, but I may give my copy to my other half now to help her collection grow.

Shank 2 is what my eyes are on (and Silent Hill - Although the American copy is better, they modified the 'children' in the school in the PAL copy).

Might find that we get the US version, I noticed yesterday when I loaded up Resident Evil 2 which was free from plus that it showed SCEA on the PlayStation 1 loading screen and not SCEE not too sure I can remember that far back as to what it would have originally come up games back then.

After a year and a half of Plus, I still have around 180GB in my 500GB HDD so 750GB should give you room to play until the PS4 comes along.

Yeah I also use PlayTV so the recordings from that can take up some space too though :(

I'm just waiting patiently for a 1TB SDD with a price that doesn't completely break the bank.

I had previously won a 2TB 3.5" drive, sold it on here and bought the 750 from the cash I got. Else I don't think I would have bothered and would have stuck with my 320GB.

[NeoTrunks]

I too am going to have to free up some space on my 500GB drive in my PS3 this month... :D
