TGH writes: 2008’s Bionic Commando Rearmed was a pretty great remake of the 1988 classic. Everything about it was true to the original and just as fun. Now, 3 years later, Fatshark is taking over where GRIN left off. Does Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 continue to impress like its predecessors, or does it take after it’s 2009 3D cousin?

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.
This game is great. Really fun.
