Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 has a lot of great ideas for what a sequel to Bionic Commando should have, but the execution is flawed. The campaign is enjoyable for about three-fourths of the campaign and dives into the ground for the last several levels that kills the fun you were probably having for most of the ten hours it takes to complete. Charging $5 more for the sequel that isn’t really significantly better than its predecessor makes it easy to suggest that you wait for a deal if you’re still interested despite the major issues mentioned above. Anybody else that has plenty of XBLA and PSN games to look forward to in the near future can easily skip this game and see if the next releases are more deserving of your money.

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.
I was enjoying the game, until the other day I had my internet removed, then due to Capcom's stupid DRM, I found I was unable to play the game anymore (or final fight/wizards sword), thanks Capcom for wasting my £11.99, remind me never to buy another Capcom downloadable game again.
