Stoked about Stealth 2 and God of War. I played the first Stealth game on Vita when they gave it out for Plus and it was a blast. And I've only heard good things about Sound Shapes... looking forward to that.

Man some people sure love their shitty AAA games

I think it is more of a reason to complain.

Considering most who are core enough to have a GAF account, more than likely played whatever current gen AAA they can put up.

Let the library get close to half of the library on the PS3, then we can start seeing more go up.

I personally enjoy the variety they display across all platforms, and the cross-buy is great in it's own respect.

Smoke a bowl and see that does anything for ya. Stoned Sound Shapes is good times.

No. Prepare for massive disappointment. I'd say it's the least enjoyable Tomb Raider game I've played in a loooooong time.

SE just keeps racking up the hitpoints for PS players, lol.

"Surrrre Sony, we will give this to your players for free to make up for the 1-year delay contract we signed, not an issue! *evil grin*"

Just picked up the GoW trilogy on PS3 so to see Ascension there is both creepy and awesome. Should I play it first or last?

It actually takes place story wise before the first game, but I would play it after the first 3.

Just for the game-play and graphics evolution. I am looking forward to finally playing it myself. Was a part of my backlog I had yet to get around to purchasing.

Entering PS Plus on 4th August:

Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris (PS4)
Limbo (PS4)
God of War Ascension (PS3)*
Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones (PS4, PS3, PS Vita)
Sound Shapes (PS4, PS3, PS Vita)**
CastleStorm Complete Edition (PS3, PS Vita)

Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris. Ok. I was going to pass on that, but since it's free...
Limbo. I already played that on PS3. Wasn't that PS+?
God of War Ascension. Ok. Not bad I guess.
Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones. Meh. I played the first one for like 5 minutes.
Sound Shapes. I own on Vita. Can't say I like it.
CastleStorm Complete Edition. Ok. Angry Birds meets Tower Defense.

Well, it's the summer and it's 30 outside.

Never played Limbo.

Sound Shapes seems cool.

Plus usually offers pretty nice variety of games for me to enjoy between 'heavier' games.

Nice, then I can finally play God of War since my fat PS3 can't handle the disc version.
(But haven't hooked the ps3 up since I got a 4..)

How do you know? I can't recognize anything. It's like an abstract painting.

What in the world? Are you sure you have the right game in mind. It's a 2D platformer with a non-retro art style where you add elements to the soundtrack as you progress through the level. You may pick up a little piece that starts a hi-hat, for example, and then pick up another and it adds a bass line, and so on. It absolutely has a soundtrack. It just progresses as you do through the level. There's nothing low resolution about the graphics. It's a minimal style but extremely sharp.

Good month. God of War: Ascension is nice, haven't played it and have been looking forward to it. Temple of Osiris is one of those games I've bought, played the first level of and then never returned to. I really liked the first game though. Stealth Inc. #1 was a game I was bored out of my mind after 15 minutes. Limbo I've finished. Good idea but it felt like the game was made up as they went along and just stopped developing the game when it hit 5 hours game time. Sound Shapes is awesome. Great game. Beck made some really great music to the game. Castlestorm... no idea, really.
 
Only title im excited to try is Stealth Inc. 2. I have Limbo on the Xbox and I didn't really care for it. I already got God of War free through a glitch that happened on the PlayStation Store months ago.

God of War Ascension is the only title that really peaks my interest, even though I know it goes a weak reception.
It might be regarded as one of the lesser entries in the franchise but I'd put it higher than the portable games, and it's even more of an incredible technical accomplishment than God Of War 3 was. It also has a few of the best moments in the franchise (the last boss is unbelievable), so it's certainly worth a play. I think it got a bad rap because people wanted a non-Kratos GoW, but it's still DAMN GOOD.

So stoked to finally play it since it has been in my backlog list of games. I really enjoy mythology, and liked their rendition of it.
