Is this just one months offering?

Abriael3677d ago

Just the new games for this month yea.

GribbleGrunger3677d ago

So they get all those classics free for this month?

Abriael3677d ago

Correct. The Japanese instant game collection is heavily reliant on classics. They get like 140 games total at every given time, plus past ones of course.

abzdine3677d ago

maybe preparing for some next gen classic return?
i haven't played Spyro since 98 i think. i'd love to give it a try

Knushwood Butt3676d ago

Yeah, there's a ton of PS1 classics available every month on PS+ in Japan.

Fact is I don't think I've downloaded a single one apart from Gunners Heaven (which I actually purchased years ago on PSN, but under a different account...).

feraldrgn3677d ago

Ape escape needs a proper sequel, that would be a blast.

eferreira3677d ago

There were so many on the ps2 and psp but I would like a new one for the vita or ps4

WeAreLegion3677d ago

I got most of my PS1 classics through Plus when it was starting up. I'd love to see more.

kingPoS3676d ago

Same here, I've got trilogies on top of trilogies. Had to buy a new card for my PSP in 2011. So much fun on the go!

1996 Voted as ‘Best Year in Gaming’ by UK Public

Have you ever wondered what the best year in gaming was? Well wonder no more! The British public have had their say, and voted for 1996.

Limitedtimestruggle590d ago

I have some many fond memories as a 10 year old gamer from back then! The best of times!

Dfooster590d ago

Yeah that is a good choice. Great times

Snakeeater25589d ago

Lol Nintendo 64 … talk about a shitty year for gaming

Old McGroin589d ago

The N64 was amazing at the time, how old are you, 12?

CobraKai589d ago

Mario 64, Mario Kart, WaveRace. They’re prolly too young to appreciate em. My kids love the N64.

Terry_B589d ago

No..1996 was not a good start for the N64. The system had a lousy start in comparison to the SNES, Playstation and probably even the Sega Saturn.

CobraKai589d ago

So…. Nevermind the first time Resident Evil or Tomb Raider was released, a damn near arcade perfect port of Tekken 2, Quake, Wipeout, Crash Bandicoot, Super Mario RPG, Nights, Panzer Dragoon Zwei? It’s shitty cuz the old N64 is it?

BrainSyphoned589d ago (Edited 589d ago )

More of a 97 person myself.
FF7, Symphony of the Night, Gran Turismo, Grand Theft Auto, Dynasty Warriors, Diablo, Fallout, Tomb Raider 2, Mega Man Legends, GoldenEye, Turok, Wing Commander Prophecy, Star Fox 64, Einhander, Tobal 2, Bushido Blade, Colony Wars, Ultima Online. Was a great year to start working at Funcoland.

You beat me to it. I loved both years, but 97 was one of my favorite years ever.

Marcello589d ago

2013 was a good year too. Dead Space 3, The Last of Us, GTA5, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Tomb Raider reboot, Bioshock Infinite, Batman: Arkham Origins, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Grid 2 & more.

Limitedtimestruggle589d ago

Dead Space 3? That game only deserves to be on rock-bottom lists. In my honest opinion.

Marcello588d ago

Its is very Marmite that game but to me it was only that love story nonsense that was bad, really bad.
