The Behemoth’s Castle Crashers, which was released here on PS3 last November, is now free to PlayStation Plus subscribers as part of SCEE’s anniversary month.

It’s not a new game by any stretch (it hit the 360 in 2008) but it’s rather brilliant, and when the full, regular price is a penny off £11 it’s well worth sticking on your download pile if you’ve got one of those shiny gold plus signs next to your PSN name.

PlayStation have also dropped a teaser for LIMBO. “Keep an eye out for more mid month treats coming soon,” said the blog, “including some great day one discounts, but I’m afraid for now I’ll have to leave you in Limbo…”

Looks like there’ll be a Plus discount for that game, then, which releases next week.

Been wanting to try this for a long time, and me and the girl love local Co-Op games. A more substantial plus offering (like stacking), so I thought it's own topic would be okay.

 

[Spaulding]

It's quite a good game. Especially in 4 player coop
Already bought it though...

 

[sixteen-bit]

Nice + perk.

 

[Hanmik]

except for the monthly Plus sub it is free...

I tried the demo some time ago.. loved it, but never bought it, so great that I will be getting it for "free" this month..

 

[The_Monk]

Will try it since I've never grab that on XBLA

 

[Gregorn]

Awesome.

 

[Gravijah]

YEAH WELL THE US HAS... UHM... BOMBERMAN ULTRA! YEAH!

 

[Sixfortyfive]

YEAH WELL THE US HAS... UHM... BOMBERMAN ULTRA! YEAH!

As long as that's a competent version of Bomberman (never played that one), that's probably a better deal.

I gotta say, as pessimistic as I was for Plus about a year ago, it's hard to argue against all the games people have got during 1 year, which far exceeds the value of the, what, 50 bucks per year?

What I played of it was actually alright, but there doesn't seem to be any singleplayer modes other than fighting bots.

It has Golden Axe.

Wait... I think EU has that too.

I personally think it's really good. I've gotten so much out of it. Above and beyond what I expected what I plunked up the initial asking price. I'd recommend it to everyone, especially new PlayStation 3 owners.

I don't really understand why they're not sticking a "free" 30-day trial in new PS3 boxes.

 

[FinalD]

Wow I can't read.

 

[elektrixx]

But WHEN is it coming out?

 

[ULTROS!]

But WHEN is it coming out?

Limbo? Next week.

 

[elektrixx]

Oh right. I thought it still wasn't out yet and was launching free.

 

[Mad_Ban]

Mine!

I've only ever played ten or so minutes of it on a friends 360. Will be interesting to see what it's like in full.

This along with Soul Reaver PS1 has made my week. Plus <3

Is it a game to keep forever or for as long as you are a PS+ member?

 

[dock]

Is this any good single player? It always seemed very tilted towards multiplayer.

I'd like to arrange a 4p co-op game for this, but for some reason I find it hard to get my friends enthusiastic about this. I think the humour is a bit of an acquired taste.

The free games are only available for as long as you're a PS+ member.

I'm not sure what happens if you account lapses, but you later re-subscribe. Does your HDD get wiped immediately, or are downloads frozen until you re-subscribe?

It's playable single player and I completed the game via that method and it's doable (not easy, not very difficult).

The games stay on your hard drive but when you try to play them it just pops up subscription expired. When you resub they're playable again.

 

[Finalow]

fuck, i'm not plus anymore.

 

[lowemark]

nice!
thought about buying this for some time to co-op it with my son, happy that I waited now

it's up on the store now btw.

 

[CozMick]

Spoiler
