Eurogamer writes "One of the more popular retro remakes of recent years, Bionic Commando Rearmed eventually became something of a poisoned chalice for Swedish developer GRIN. The side-scroller's success completely overshadowed the team's full-fat franchise reboot, which launched nine months later to critical grumblings that it wasn't as good as the 2D game."

PS Blog:
The PlayStation Plus team is excited to present your next batch of games, available for download on 3rd of May.
First up is tongue-in-cheek dictator sim Tropico 5 – a fully-fledged city-building game set on a fictional island nation. Stepping into the boots of virtual dictator, El Presidente, you’ll guide and direct the everyday life of your beloved Tropicans. Farm llamas, build textiles plants, and occasionally concern yourself with the well-being of your residents, while secretly funneling money to your Swiss Bank Account. Tropico 5 also has four-player online multiplayer where you can battle it out with other would-be dictators online.

My last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out. This is what I do... www.earnmore9.com
Same here. The car racing one isn't bad either, though I'm not a fan of racing games (I've been trying to get into new stuff, though). Overall, I only own one of the game, so not so bad. And, 3 games on PS4 this month.
I might give Tropico a go since it's free. Perssonally I'm most excited for TTR World Tour. Been waiting for it since its announcement. Loved the 1st one on Android and Vita and now we are getting it free on PS4! AWESOME!
It's my understanding that since Q2 last year, U.S. and Europe will have the same PS+ offerings each month.
... and at 1200 points, who could resist!?!?
(!)
What are these developers thinking, charging 1200 points for mediocre XBLA?PSN games!?
My 2 favourite XBLA games last year were ilomilo and Super Meat Boy, which I both bought for 800 points each.
Is his arm still his wife?
This is Eurogamer though. Eurogamer and Edge would give their own mother a 6/10. lol
