Sony is having a sale on a long list of titles in what they are calling the “13 for 13” sale. They will be offering 13 titles for 50% off and Playstation Plus subscribers will be getting a whopping 75% off. The list is very impressive including critical darlings like The Unfinished Swan and classic games like Jet Set Radio and Nights (Into Dreams). You can’t beat half off and Sony also shows once again why Playstation Plus is well worth the $49.99 a year price tag with all the free games you get and now 75% off these as well.
Here is the list of games available until January 28th.
Little Big Planet Karting- $19.99 ($10 PS+)
The Unfinished Swan- $7.49 ($3.75 PS+)
Ratchet and Clank- $7.49 ($3.75 PS+)
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy- $3.99 ($2 PS+)
Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds Complete Edition- $12.49 ($6.25 PS+)
Warp- $4.99 ($2.50 PS+)
Shank 2- $4.99 ($2.50 PS+)
Nights (Into Dreams)- $4.99 ($2.50 PS+)
Jet Set Radio- $4.99 ($2.50 PS+)
The House of the Dead: Overkill Extended Cut- $9.99 ($5 PS+)
So here is EA’s second part of their one-two punch to try (and fail) to take down Call of Duty. While Battlefield 3 got so much press last year it was almost hard to forget the game was coming out, Medal of Honor felt more like Sony was advertising for it. So nothing.
The franchise that puts out titles on a regular basis and is always better than Gran Turismo (without the 7-10 year waits between games) goes open world. Forza Horizon already had great racing DNA but add in producers that used to work at racing gods Codemasters and you have a beautiful racing sim that is garnering stellar reviews.
The Unfinished Swan (PSN) $14.99
One of the most unique looking games to come along in a long time, The Unfinished Swan has a boy entering a painting left to him by his dead mother and comes into a white world that unveils its secrets as you throw balls of black paint. Hard to describe but gorgeous to look at.
Sony continues to pump out the collections for their most famous franchises. Killzone 1 was a PS2 release and did not deliver on a lot of lofty promises but Killzone 2 more than made up for that with its stunning jump in graphics thanks to the Playstation 3 and great shooting mechanics. Killzone 3 was very good but didn’t feel as good story wise as 2. But still for $40 you are getting two good shooters and one very good one so not a bad deal.
Yeah so the only reason I am posting this is that Cabela’s has a unique tradition of releasing on the same date as Halo games which would seem like suicide and yet there continue to be Cabela’s games. But it seems that tradition is over. Here are the Mega64 guys with a little bit of the history.
