I didn't pay much for PS+ and I'm still not sure I would pay MSRP but 6 months in and I can say it's been worth the $25. Excited to play Trine 2 and Awesomenauts.

They've always been free since their release.

The Awesomenauts music is so cool! I'll have to play that when I have patience for it, though. It has a billion instructions.

The awkwardly-named Jam Live Music Arcade will be out on PSN in two weeks:

The kickoff date for your own music tour has just been announced! Zivix LLC, a developer leveraging innovative technology through peripherals, real musical instruments and entertainment software, and in association with Reverb Publishing, announced today that its upcoming music creation sandbox game, JAM Live Music Arcade, is set to launch on both Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation® Network the week of May 16th. JAM Live Music Arcade was recently featured at SXSW in Austin and fresh from the PAX East show in Boston, where would-be Jam Masters from around the world got to remix some of their favorite hits on-the-fly. Be sure to check out the launch trailer here: http://youtu.be/jeqldm7rTJs JAM Live Music Arcade is a completely new approach to the music genre with a real-time live music sandbox “JAM Mode” that allows the player to immediately build and customize their very own tunes, as well as a bonus “Arcade Challenge Mode” that plays similar to traditional music games. Starting with any one of the 30+ licensed songs featured in the game (including hits from Modest Mouse, Fallout Boy, Fatboy Slim, Owl City, Rise Against, Atmosphere and more), players jam with and remix all aspects of the song – guitar, bass, drums, synth and vocals – to experiment with the song and re-create it to their own personality. All of this is done with any one of the numerous compatible guitar gaming peripherals – the entire band is in your hands! Accessible and easy to get started, yet deep and almost endless to master, everyone can touch real music across a broad range of sonic tastes. JAM Live Music Arcade offers an immersive level of musical interaction that’s inspiring, powerful and contagious.

awesomenauts was awesome. just played for an hour. so glad psn+ gets it free. good stuff.
reminds me alot of swords and sorcery game with 2-d hacknslash, but it is alot more strategic then it lets on. i won a few games in a row but it seems like connection is a lil iffy cuz people kept dropping in and out(replaced by bots) and i had to quit the game when the timer hit 0:00 but the game wouldnt begin.

hit me up on psn w awesomenauts in the title if you wanna get the online trophy for inviting a friend or whatev. i dont even mess with the super powers and just upgrade my attack power/speed/specialty until im a death warrior

Initial impressions of awesomenauts is meh...but I read that it gets better as you level. Seems a bit too simple but I'll give it another shot today

I've only played as the cowboy guy so far, but I do the same thing. A lot of focus on increasing my power bar, energy regeneration, attack power, and speed (they did a good job of making speed a super important attribute in the game).

After a few games I realized how important it is to NOT DIE because it gives the player that kills you a huge boost. So making sure I have enough health and that it regenerates was my first focus.

yeah or hold r1 whenev to get full health and go straight to upgrade screen but teleports you back to base and it needs some charge time(without getting hit interupted)
attack speed is also great when you have random increases like % chance of critical is better with more hits per second, der.
yeah and if you keep dieing your spawn takes longer and longer and you lose out on solar during the spawn loading timer. yep

Actually, its not because you die too often. As you collect solar (100 per level), your respawn timer is based on what your level is.

It'd be pretty unfair to have a level 30 guy respawning every 5 seconds lol.

Thats why its so important to hit and run, and try not to die, otherwise your team might literally have no players guarding for upwards of 20 seconds.

Also if you think Leon is overpowered, wait until you run into Crunk+Voltar combo's. So damn hard to kill without either a good teammate or one-shotting Voltar before he runs

yeah leon isnt too tough even tho he hits hard and fast he has so low life usually.
i fought this massive crunk earlier who had been eating everyone and his life bar was super huge and he would explode all over the place and constant eat us, it totally sucked. he was a giant tank.

Decided to jump on the PS+ bandwagon. Had to try out Awesomenauts and needed the discount on Hot Shots. The service is already paying for itself .

For 15 bucks this year of ps+ has been a steal. Just played 2 hours of Awesomenauts, very cool and really fun. Definitely has the "just one more game" feel.

Crap, I'm going to have to try this game tonight .

Payed $10 for awesomenaughts.

Many nights of intoxicated co-op in my future.

I recommend for anyone with splitscreen.

Is Trine 2 worth it if you don't plan on playing it MP?

Totally. I never bothered with MP and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Hey guys, i was thinking about signing up for PS+ pretty soon, is it worth it? Just wanted everybody's own opinion. thanks

Yes, great month this month with Awesomenauts, Rock of Ages, and Trine 2 for free, plus there was some mention of discounts coming at the end of the month.

I think looking at all the free games this month (Trine 2, Castlevania, Awesomenauts, Rock Of Ages) should give you an idea of what it is worth. While some of us have gotten a discount on membership (I paid $40 for mine.), it is well worth the $50/year for the free games. On top of that, you get cloud saves and discounts on games.

Just make sure you time your registration with something you want to get maximum value.

A lot of people think the $4.16/month (full price) is worth it for auto downloads of updates/demos/etc and cloud saves. I agree, but with the knowledge that I also get some free games that I wouldnt otherwise try or would pay more for.
