Why Would a Game With No Online Play Require an Online Connection?

For some, the inclusion of DRM - "digital rights management" which prevents copying - is a provocative act. That makes requiring an online check-in for a game with no online component, like Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2, both perplexing and obnoxious.

Ubisoft has their hands in many sinister soups. Just tell them that they put to much salt in it i am sure that they will fix it

Coming to PlayStation Plus in May: Tropico 5, Table Top Racing and more

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.

@Border not really since Uncharted 4 is coming out

KeiraCameron2941d ago

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.

badz1492941d ago

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!

nevin12941d ago

Is this just for Europe right?

cash_longfellow2941d ago

Just confirmed for the US also.

t-hall7852941d ago

They are sooooo lucky i need online for street fighter...

Christopher2941d ago

It's my understanding that since Q2 last year, U.S. and Europe will have the same PS+ offerings each month.

Nivekki2941d ago

Tropico 5 gets a big thumbs up.

Corpser2941d ago

Not a bad game but I played it on PC 2 years ago

Genuine-User2941d ago

I'll give Tropico 5 and Switch Galaxy Ultra a try.

Bennibop2941d ago

Tropico is great fun and very accessible. Enjoy!
