PlayStation Plus Recap

The last time I wrote about PlayStation Plus was back in March. I would say it is hard to believe that I went three months without writing about the games available on PlayStation Plus, but this is me that we are talking about here. I'll focus a tad more on what's available this month, but let's begin with what was available in April and May.

April:

• Dead Star — PS4 ($19.99)
• ZOMBI — PS4 ($19.99)
• I Am Alive — PS3 ($14.99)
• Savage Moon — PS3 ($9.99)
• A Virus Named TOM — PS Vita ($9.99)
• Shutshimi — PS Vita ($9.99)

Total for April: $84.94

May:

• Tropico 5  — PS4 ($59.99)
• Table Top Racing: World Tour — PS4 ($19.99)
• Bionic Commondo Rearmed 2 — PS3 ($9.99)
• LocoRoco Cocoreccho! — PS3 ($6.99)
• God of War: Ghosts of Sparta — PS Vita ($14.99)
• Switch Galaxy Ultra — PS Vita ($11.99)

Total for May: $123.94

June:

• NBA 2K16 — PS4 ($59.99)
• Gone Home: Console Edition — PS4 ($19.99)
• Siren: Blood Curse Episodes 1-12 — PS4 ($19.99)
• echochrome — PS3 ($9.99)
• Little Deviants — PS Vita ($13.49)
• God of War: Chain of Olympus — PS Vita ($14.99)

Total for June: $138.44

In the first six months of 2016, a total of $670.64 has been saved for PlayStation Plus subscribers, assuming you didn't already own any of these games. Even then, it's easy to see that within a month or two you're already getting back what you paid for. Sure, not every game may be a game you want, but it's hard to deny great games such as Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, Super Stardust HD, and Gone Home: Console Edition. These games alone make up for the yearly $49.99 subscription fee.

That being said, I'm interested to see what Sony gives us PlayStation Plus subscribers next month. Rumor has it that games such as The Evil Within and Resident Evil 6 may make their way to PlayStation Plus for the month of July. We'll have to wait until the PlayStation Blog says what's coming for July, but I wouldn't mind if we got either of those games, if not both. Resident Evil 7 has me wanting to play Resident Evil games or something similar, so if we got either of the aforementioned games that would be awesome. And these are just the rumors for the two PS4 games. Time to play the waiting game... Or just play video games. Yeah. That sounds much better.

PlayStation Plus Games for January and February

Starting mid-February, I will post the games received as a PlayStation Plus subscriber. I'll also list the current prices of each game on the PlayStation Store to give you an idea of the amount of money you're saving. Of course, if you already own the game or don't care about the game, then it doesn't really matter.

January

Hardware: Rivals — PS4 ($19.99)
Grim Fandango Remastered — PS4 ($14.99)
Dragon Age: Origins — PS3 ($19.99)
Medal of Honor Warfighter — PS3 ($19.99)
Nihilumbra — PS Vita ($9.99)
History Legends of War: Patton ($29.99)

Total for January: 114.94

Of the six games given to PS Plus subscribers, I already owned Grim Fandango Remastered and Dragon Age: Origins. Unfortunately, I don't really care to try any of the other games I managed to acquire last month.

February

HELLDIVERS: Democracy Strikes Back Edition — PS4 ($19.99)
Nom Nom Galaxy — PS4 ($14.99)
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax — PS3 ($39.99)
GRID Autosport — PS3 ($29.99)
Nova-111 — PS Vita ($14.99)
Lemmings Touch — PS Vita ($9.99)

Total for February: $129.94

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is the only game I owned in this month's list. Besides Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, which I already own anyway, I didn't care much for February's PS Plus games either. Still, we ended up getting $129.94 worth of games this month. In total, we've gotten $244.88 in games. Essentially, PS Plus has paid for itself already.

I'll make sure to post March's list much earlier. I'm barely getting back into blogging, so that's my excuse for writing this post so late into the month.

What are your thoughts about January's list and February's list? Let me know in the comments section. Thanks for reading!
