September PS Plus Games for NA and EU announced

The PS Plus games are here, and this month is a great one for PSVR fans (in US and Canada) as they get RIGS Mechanized Combat League “as a free bonus game from September 5 through November 7″.

“RIGS is a first-person arena-based shooter developed from the ground up for PS VR. Set in the year 2065, it immerses players in an intense, all-action future sport that mixes elements from different athletic fields like combat sports, motorsports, basketball and football.”

Keep in mind, the new PSVR bundle includes the required camera and is priced at $399USD/$499CAD. The bundle with Worlds is $449USD/$579CAD.

Dead by Daylight is another bonus game, but only available Sept 15 -18, then getting a 30% discount on Sept. 22.

That’s You is also still free until Oct. 23.

North America

Infamous

Sony’s third-person action game was one of the first to show off the PS4’s lighting nad particle effects. I haven’t played it, but will definitely give it a whirl, especially after attaching my external 1TB drive for more breathing room.

Strike vector Ex

This actually looks pretty interesting. There’s a lack of space shooters and I miss the genre.

Europe

inFAMOUS: Second Son (PS4)
Child of Light (PS4)
RIGS: Mechanised Combat League (PS4 bonus title – PS VR required)
That’s You (PS4 bonus title)
Truck Racer (PS3)
Handball 2016 (PS3)
We Are Doomed (PS Vita & PS4)
Hatoful Boyfriend (PS4 & PS Vita)

Sony must think Europe is more cerebral, granting them the artsy Child of Light while us North Americans get the more straight-ahead (sounding at least) STRIKE VECTOR EX *RIFFING ON GUITAR*.

If you haven’t downloaded last month’s games, you still have a few days.

They were:

Just Cause 3 (PS4)
Assassin’s Creed: Freedom Cry (PS4)
Super Motherload (PS3)
Snake Ball (PS3)
Downwell (PS Vita)
Level 22 (PS Vita)

Surprisingly (not to Sony) my bloodthirsty, space-obsessed North American mind is very curious about STRIKE FORCE EX. I love space shooters and they’re quite rare nowadays. Also, we’ve been looking for accessible multiplayer games to play in the A90sKid Discord. Which you should join 🙂 https://discord.gg/d7h3smr

okay

Mathew is a huge fan of Space, Strategy, and Shadowrun (Genesis version is #1). When it comes to games and films, he’d much rather experience a 10/10 classic from yesteryear than a 6/10 modern blandfest. He does feel we’re living in a gaming golden age with the power of indie developers at an all-time high, but wishes AAA publishers would take more risks. Mat believes it’s only a matter of time before the pendulum swings the other way and new ideas take their rightful place above reboots.
