Two Websites

First off, my apologies for not updating this blog. Secondly, I've got two websites. I haven't decided exactly how everything is going to work, but for now, you can visit both this blog and my other website, Gaming Backlog, for video game reviews, news, and more from yours truly. For now, having both this blog and my other website is what's best for me.

PlayStation Plus Free Games for April 2017

By now, the PlayStation Store has been updated and April's free games are currently available for redemption. I hope you managed to acquire last month's PS Plus games after reading yesterday's post. Assuming anyone is actually reading these posts of mine...

Here's what PlayStation Plus subscribers are getting and how much they end up saving via PS Plus:

PlayStation 4:

• Drawn to Death | $19.99
• Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime | $14.99

PlayStation 3:

• Alien Rage | $14.99
• inviZimals: The Lost Kingdom | $14.99

PlayStation Vita: 

• Curses 'N Chaos | $9.99 (also cross-buy with PS4)
• 10 Second Ninja X | $9.99 (also cross-buy with PS4)

April Savings: $84.94

If you want my honest opinion on this month's PlayStation Plus games, then I'll give it to you. I'm not impressed with the lineup. Aside from Drawn to Death, the rest of the games being given for free to PlayStation Plus subscribers is rather disappointing.

What are your thoughts regarding this month's PS Plus games? Let me know in the comments section. Thanks for visiting!

PlayStation Store Update for April 4, 2017

I will probably be saying this for at least the rest of this month, but the purpose of this post is to let you know what's new on the PlayStation Store for PS3, PS4, PS Vita, and maybe PSP (it happened last year). Anyway, I'll do my best to break it down. There are five pages of new content this week in the "New This Week" section of the PlayStation Store. This post will be ever evolving as time goes on, but hopefully I can get it done correctly the first time.

Newly released games will be listed first. Add-on content will be listed as bulleted lists below the title of the game. Some add-on content is released later on in the life of a game, so I'm simply going to include the add-on contents game title so you know what the add-on content is for. I hope that makes sense.

Here goes.

What do you think of March's lineup? You don't have much time, so go redeem the games and then let me know what you think in the comments section.

PlayStation Plus — February 2017

Yesterday, the PlayStation Blog unveiled this month's upcoming PlayStation Plus lineup. Last month, PlayStation Plus subscribers could have saved a total of $92.94 with the six games made available to download for free. If you haven't seen the list for January or even downloaded the games, check out my previous blog post to see what was made available in January.

You can still download the games since the PlayStation Store won't change the lineup until next Tuesday, so take advantage of the time that remains. I haven't played it yet (since Final Fantasy XV occupied most of my gaming life), but I still think Titan Souls looks pretty awesome. It can be downloaded for PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4.

As was the case last month, this month there are games available on multiple platforms. I will list their cross-buy in parentheses.

February Games:

• LittleBigPlanet 3 | PlayStation 4 | $19.99
• Not a Hero | PlayStation 4 | $19.99
• Starwhal | PlayStation 3 (also for PlayStation 4) | $11.99
• Anna - Extended Edition | PlayStation 3 | $9.99
• Ninja Senki DX | PlayStation Vita (also for PlayStation 4) | $4.99
• TorqueL | PlayStation Vita (also for PlayStation 4) | $9.99

Total for February: $76.94

Year to Date: $169.88

Assuming you didn't have any of the games listed in both months, PlayStation Plus has paid for itself nearly three times. I'm not too familiar with any of these games besides LBP3, so I can't give an honest opinion about any of the other five. As for LittleBigPlanet3, it's a fun game from what I manged to play. I doubt I'll ever go back to it, but it isn't a bad game and the new characters they added into the game provides new ways to play.

What do you think about February's list of games? Let me know in the comments section. Thanks for reading!

PlayStation Plus — January 2017

Curious as to what is available if you're a PlayStation Plus subscriber? I've got you covered. While the list may not be the most exciting list to date, I think there are some games that are worth grabbing as a PS Plus subscriber. Titan Souls is definitely a game I have been wanting to play. I am also intrigued by This War of Mine: The Little Ones.

Like last year, I will be including the current prices for the games available on PlayStation Plus. I will add up price of each game listed below to show the total amount of money potentially saved for PlayStation Plus subscribers. Some games will be available on multiple platforms. If that is the case, they will only be counted once since they're cross-buy, meaning if you buy a game on one console, it is also available on another.

January Games:

• Day of the Tentacle Remastered | PS4 (also for PS Vita) | $14.99
• This War of Mine: The Little Ones | PS4 | $29.99
• Blazerush | PS3 | $9.99
• The Swindle | PS3 (also for PS4 and PS Vita) | $14.99
• Azkend 2 | PS Vita | $7.99
• Titan Souls | PS Vita (also for PS4) | $14.99

Total for January: $92.94

Happy New Year!!!

Very quickly, I wanted to wish my dear readers a happy new year. I hope everyone has a great 2017. I have a lot of plans for this year, so hopefully I can figure out how to roll it all out without stressing myself out. For now, I will write. I'm thinking by April I will have videos uploaded to my YouTube channel on a regular basis. Feel free to check it out. There are some videos already. Let me know what you think about the videos I have currently on my channel!

Since November 29, 2016, I have been playing a lot of Final Fantasy XV. I have managed to put in 65 hours. I am pretty surprised myself considering the only other game I was really playing was Overwatch. Now I find myself playing Final Fantasy XV and Overwatch. This post isn't meant to be very long. I just thought I'd start the year off by writing a small post to get this blog up and running again. I also have another website. I haven't posted anything on it in quite some time, but feel free mosey on over to see what it's all about. I haven't decided if I'll post on my blog and my website yet, so I'll keep everyone posted. Until then, catch you later.
