... the only thing I hated about it was the ridiculously hard end of level bosses which took blimmin ages to knock their stamina down so you could kill them! Oh yea, and also the stupidly ridiculous saving system whereby you could only save at specific points in the game!! Is Dead Rising 2 like that as well?!
I'm the same, never completed it - just used to play it for the entertainment value of running around the shopping centre killing endless zombies with whatever you could find! |

Excellent, couldn't be a much better month on Gold than that, really impressed they throwing in the DR2 expansion for free too, nice little bonus. With the games on Gold thing picking up a bit I think I will have to extend my gold subscription (it expires end of Sept), are there any good deals on 12 months at the moment?
I checked eBay briefly but if anything they seem to have gone up a bit compared to what I got my last 12 month sub for, probably the whole games on gold thing has pushed interest back up a bit. Look i love free games as much as the next person but Crackdown and Dead rising 2 are the best they can for an entire month Yesterday on PS Plus i got Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Spec ops: the Line, When Vikings Attack, Lego Lord of the Rings, NBA 2K13 (through a mistake) and Mafia II 5 out of those 6 games are less than 12 months old, What new games is Gold offering, I'm not trying to bash 360 just to bash 360 but they really need to step their game up either now or when games for gold eventually hits X1 |

Are you kidding me my brother still subs to live and even he is willing to call bullshit on the games for gold as worthless, hell if they offered something of value something that is unmissable, i'd re sub my account of his Xbox for it

For someone with both services they are getting a cracking month of free content. I can tell you now that if I had both services and DR2 was available from day 1 I would be playing DR2 this afternoon. Instead I am hopefully going to enjoy some Spec Ops. Also lets no forget that PS+ has built up to the service it offers today, GFG is still in its early days. |

There's an often big mistake regarding PS+, people say it's just a rental service but Sony DO give you free games to keep even after sub ends, it's their yearly cycle ones.
So currently it's Uncharted 3, LBP Karting and XCOM: Enemy Unknown are this years free games to keep. Last years was LBP2, InFAMOUS 2 and something else. |

Rumours are brewing that the reason Crackdown/Dead Rising 2 has made GFG this month is due to a possible announcement for a next-gen sequel at Gamescom (as well as tons more DR3 info) . There was that whole Crackdown icon at the X1 unveiling on the dashboard as well as Phil Spencer's comments post E3 saying how Crackdown isn't dead. Hmm it would make sense!
Obviously it's only rumours but a next-gen Crackdown would be exciting and Microsoft don't appear to have any exclusive game to directly rival Infamous Second Son at this point in time. |

Really? So if my PS+ subscription ran out tomorrow I could carry on playing inFamous 2 or LBP Karting but I couldn't play Spec Ops or Need for Speed?
This is the first I am hearing about that. |

However, I do think people get far too hung up on the age of the games being offered, games should be judged by their quality, not their age. I still play games form the 8 and 16 bit eras and the good games are still good now. Good gameplay doesn't age. |

PS give away games for free and are making a loss. Sony have only just made a profit this year after 5 years of losses and that is because of the Xperian phone. When I give my money to a company I want it to make a profit and put those profits into new products.

Rumour has it that September's first free Xbox game with Gold is Magic: The Gathering 2013 - according to a snap of Xbox Australia's home page.

Magic 2013? Magic 2014 was just released a few months ago. What next FIFA 10?

But you already know that MS aren't releasing new'ish games with this program. Why are you surprised?
Rainbow six Vegas is the 2nd game of the month, that is a decent game if you have not played it. |

I would have thought they would not bother giving you a game where most if not all of the players will have moved onto the later version.

Why do people say PS+ plus is a rental service? What rental service keeps adding content every month, without the need for you to send back the acquired content you'be built up????!

Because if you don't renew it the majority of (or all?) games you get with it stop working. Therefore you never own them.
Currently the model works: the longer you subcribe the more content you acquire. It's a long term subcription service. |
