Hey folks, I’m here today to announce a new PSN title coming this year! I’m very excited to introduce When Vikings Attack for PS3 and PS Vita.
In this all-action fighting adventure, a battalion of Viking invaders, 1200 years late to the party, are causing havoc in your town. Imagine getting together a posse of local citizens: a construction worker, a butcher, a policeman, a pastor, and a schoolboy, then ripping up a phone booth or picking up a car,and hurling it at the advancing Viking hordes. That’s the sort of crazy action you can expect in this totally new and original PSN title for PS3 and PS Vita.
We made an (educated) guess on Friday when we said that the PlayStation Plus free games for August 2013 in Europe would be revealed this week, which Fred Dutton, SCEE Blog Manager, heavily hinted at by saying, “should be a little later this week.” He then went on to say that there’s a “great mix of genres this month, I think” and it’s a “nice varied line up.” - PSLS

usually would be, but they've said so far we've got the one, the only Jet Set Radio for free
usually the games are the same though, minus Catherine on EU PS PLus the games are the same (Battlefeild 3, SR 3, Uncharted 3, LBP K, XCOM)
There is no such thing as f2p on the xbox because they are all behind the XBL paywall. Whereas f2p on PS3/PS4 will be just that and will excluded from the PS+ to be able to play.
Just another example of MS effing over their customers by charging for what it supposed to be free.
Well, vote with your wallets, which I'm sure many gamers will be doing...
.... which means they'll be getting a PS4 where you can enjoy those F2P games, among many other great benefits, instead of buying an Xbox One.
what i love is how the World Of Tanks dev was at E3, showing off how awesome and happy he is with the X360 system
and in an interview post-E3 conference, he was pissed at how there was a paywall.
not a big fan of free to play games, but i guess its better than not playing a game at all.
They are not normally my cup of tea but if they are free then they are worth a try.
Come on Microsoft - how can you charge people to play online in a free to play game? Do the decent thing and move them in front of the Paywall.

I dont see the problem of needing live to play f2p.
I do see problem if you have to play subscription + live to play an mmo though. Same as Netflix or any other streaming service needing Live... Kinda annoying
Great update, PS+ keeps getting better
This is probably all true. Here's the leak I saw a while back, spot on so far

funny thing is i was plannin on getting DMC next month anyway, but I guess I'll wait till it's on PS Plus :D (if it's coming to US Plus that is)
Only Spec Ops: The Line intrigues me, slightly and even then, I don't really like shooters. The others seem totally 'Meh!' and a bland month overall
I hate what PS plus did to my HDD.... It used up the majority of my space. Just gotta figure out what to delete....
I usually do the Instal Shuffle. My uncle updated to a 1TB HDD which I intend to do within the next few weeks.
videos, game installs that you don't play (sometimes they amount to like 2-5GB, GT5 had 7)
also, bear in mind that if you delete a PS Plus game you don't play it is still in your DL list
Experience some of the PlayStation Network’s stand out hits in this amazing collection of titles for your PS3 system. Best of PlayStation Network, Vol.1 includes four hits from the PSN library.
Nice list but my list would be pixel junk monster, shooter ,echo chrome ,and
Super star dust.
oh and flower, I like weird games that's why I like Sony..
True that! All of those are great titles (esp. Flower) but this is a good start to get folks feet wet.
Soon, because on the 25th of June in the U.S. stores will land first compilation of the best games from PSN. The Best of PlayStation Network, Vol 1, because that is the name of the game will include When Vikings Attack!, Sound Shapes, Tokyo Jungle, and Fat Princess.
Pretty cool deal. I only own 2 of the 4 but will definitely pick this up on the cheap.
I've seen it some hours ago... pure win. I need this with my friends.
All very nice. I just wonder what the price is.
