If you want to learn a bit more about Awesomenauts:

Imagine Eighties Saturday morning cartoons and platforming shooters made sweet love. Awesomenauts is what their love-baby would look like! Awesomenauts is an online, class-based side-scrolling shooter that blends intense platforming combat with lethal skills and strategic team-play to produce a unique DOTA-like competitive experience. Matches are played out online or offline in 3 vs 3 and you’ll coordinate attacks with your buddies and gather Solar to unlock and upgrade your weapons. You’ll ultimately strive to outsmart enemy players, pushing your way through turrets and waves of droids to destroy the enemy base. You’ll be able to play as several unique Awesomenauts: Clunk, a giant rocket-launching, self-destructing robot; Yuri, a jetpack-rocking, mine-throwing, bad-mannered monkey; and Froggy G, a watery breakdancer who dazzles his opponents. Each character fulfills a unique role within a team, and their abilities can be customized with many upgrades as you storm the online arena! Life as an Awesomenaut is best enjoyed with friends, so we’ve included splitscreen play! In fact, you can play with up to three people on the same console and dominate online and offline matches as a team. We want as many people as possible playing Awesomenauts, and hope the game will have a large community. That’s why we’ve teamed up with PlayStation to make the game free for PlayStation Plus subscribers throughout May! And we’re preparing to support the game with new characters and items in the near future to make sure the game stays fresh. In Awesomenauts you can always get straight into the action; the game has full drop-in support where humans can replace bots at any time during a match. Have friends come online while you’re already in a match? No problem, just send them an invite and they can drop into your game straight away. You’ll never have to wait in lobbies for a match to start!

I knew waiting on Trine 2 would result in a deal! Trine 1 was a fine game, very pretty and fun to play. Add both the Castelvania games and Awesomenauts and they have a great May shaping up already for plus.

Has Rock of Ages come out yet? If not, that's two free games on their release date and a relatively new $15 game for free. I still don't understand the people who complain about Plus.

OMG that Awesomenauts theme song! I felt like I was 8 years old again, back in 1986. Definitely gonna have to check that out.

With my current schedule, all I have time for is free PS+ games right now. Having fun, saving tons of money.

Rock of Ages is not out yet. Free on release, 5/15. Whiny bitches complain.

cool

So I should probably go redeem that card I got during TRU's discount sale. PS+ is starting to make XBL look awful...if only I could get some more friends to switch consoles!

I just read someone say that if you stop subscribing to Netflix, you lose access to all those movies, yet no one has a problem with that and that's way more expensive than Plus is. Don't know why I never thought of it like that.

I think I might finally pick up some of that Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing DLC. My girlfriend and I play the game all the time, so it'd be nice to have an extra track/character. It was overpriced to begin with, so at least now it's not too bad.

Nothing else for me from this week's deals, unless the free add-ons will cost money in the future.

Edit: Argh...I'm about $0.75 short of getting Ryo with Forklift. I guess I'll have to pick up another $20 PSN card. I suppose I could get the Sonic Unleashed DLC for about $4.

Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars

I recommend this one. Simple game yet pretty fun. You're playing soccer with RC cars, basically. Online play works quite well for the most part, and you can also play local multi-player split-screen.

After trying the demo I had to buy Walking Dead, so damn good.

why did the walking dead have to license out to telltale? my favorite type of game (zombie) meets my least favorite type of game (anything by telltale)

I know iv asked this before. memory loss. but i have limited ps3 space.

as long as i get shank2/shift 2 in my dl list, even if i don't download it, i can still go to the list and download it in the future after it expires? correct?

Yes as long as you're a plus member
