Probably VLR... I played the game to 100% in three days. My first (and only) platinum.
But, oh man, Spec Ops. Really not sure.

My GF bought it anyway before they gave it away with plus, and it's soooooooo good. I hope a lot more people have gotten to play it thanks to PS+.

Definitely sleeping dogs. Had the most fun with that one. Resogun is really good too, so that one gets an honourable mention.
Liked Dragon's Dogma too, just don't have the time to dive into it completely, already have a massive backlog. That's the only downside of ps+, there is just too many games to play.
For Vita I really enjoyed Uncharted: Golden Abyss the most.

Sleeping Dogs and Spec Ops.
There are other games better in the list in my opinion but these 2 are the ones that I wouldn't have played if it wasn't for Plus.

I actually really didn't like Okami. It bored me to tears on PS2 back in the day. It bored me even more in HD. And what the hell is up with that awful unskippable close to 20 minute intro? I was hoping the HD version would have at least made that skippable this time, but nope.
Sleeping Dogs sold me on Plus and I've been a subscriber since.
XCOM is probably the best game, but I bought that pre-Plus.
I'd say Thomas Was Alone was a particularly enjoyable surprise for me. Though when my Vita arrives on Christmas Day I'm sure I'll have a different game as I've got a years backlog to work through on that too.

That's the thing with Plus, it really shortens your patience with games. I too couldn't be arsed getting into Okami, or ME for that matter. Anything that doesn't grab me in my first play session usually doesn't get a second chance.

I love this game, but the PS3 version .. :[
Uncharted 3 would be my vote.
Sleeping Dogs and Resogun are close.
There are games I still need to play though.

Most of these I either already owend or had no interest in playing. I did, however, thoroughly enjoy Catherine. I'm a sucker for puzzle games, and the game had a very intense atmosphere (plus it deals with a number of subjects in a really mature way). In addition, in my opinion it is the perfect game for a service like this. Giving away games that most people probably would have bought when they came out always seemed redundant to me. That is also why I think it's good they started the PS4 off with Contrast and Resogun, which I doubt many people would have looked at more (and probably missed out on) if they hadn't been free.

Crazy.. Psplus is just crazy. I will never be able to play all of those.
For me personally gravity daze is the best game on ps plus (i own vita and ps3)

It has to be between XCOM and Deus EX. If it wasn't for PS+ I would never have played those and now I'm a fan of the series going forward. I also really liked Rayman Origins on the Vita and will pick up Legends when it's cheaper.

Probably Sleeping Dogs.
Runner2 is great too from what I've played of it, and it's one of those games I never would've thought to try out without PS+.

It bored me on PS2 when I warez'd it like a dumb kid.
I tried it again on my PS3, dealt with the dumb intro and slowly played it to completion over 70 hours, it's fucking great, the only bad part of the game is the story goes weak towards the end.
Overall, it's a fucking masterpiece.
Sleeping Dogs.
I expected to give it a 15 min run and then delete. Nope. This game came out of no where and blew me away. The fighting system is amazing for this genre. Nothing comes close. The setting, characters, and graphics are also extremely well done. I was really, really impressed with this game, and look forward to Sleeping Dogs 2 a lot.
Maybe it's because I expected nothing from it, but I enjoyed it way more than GTA or Saints Row.
Also - Resogun. Arcade. Perfected.

I didn't sign up until rather recently, so I missed most of these. But of the ones I've played I think I'd have to say Resogun is the best. It's just so damn awesome. I recently started playing Dragon's Dogma though, really liking that as well.

Plays great on Vita.
I'm an expert
Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
So awesome to hear the comments about Demon's or Dogma from people who hadn't played them before Plus.
Personally, the best game I hadn't played yet that Plus offered was Sleeping Dogs. That game is insanely good. Honorable mentions to Spec Ops, also a diamond in the rough.

Well, I've only had plus since Nov 15th........so I'm going with Resogun. Can't help but feel hosed on the non-offerings for ps4 owners in Ps+ this month though
I think this will be the only month without anything for PS4. Games start to hit in January, especially the indies, so there should be no shortage of titles going forward.

Spec Ops: The Line
It's one of those games that I probably wouldn't have picked up on my own, but I really enjoyed for free.

RESOGUN
actually i probably played Kingdoms of Amalur the most, it's basically a good single player MMO

My PS+ GOTY as well as my personal GOTY (it didn't come out this year but I played it this year) would be Hotline Miami.
Also, I didn't get PS+ until around August or so. I would have loved to have played Deus Ex & I'll probably pick up the director's cut sometime. Does it perform well on PS3?
Also, Dragon's Dogma is pretty fucking awesome. I couldn't really get too into it but there were some pretty awesome concepts, and the game overall just felt really good. I'd really like to play a next gen sequel.

Looking back, definitely Resogun
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance with Catherine and Demon's Souls tied as runners up, the only reason being that Rising came out this year, while Cath was last year and DeSo is fairly old now. I will say that Deso is still the best PS3 exclusive on Plus (Edit: and yes, Gen X, my personal GOTGen too).
Although DmC: Devil May Cry, for all its faults, is still technically to come in 2013, and gets an honourable mention as a result.
Playstation Plus is just amazing, and has really brightened up a weak year games-wise. Long may it continue in the same vein.

+1 on the Sleeping Dogs.
Got me to play some games I wouldn't of thought about playing either.

It's alright. Framerate suffers little bit when you get to roam around city or wider areas but can't recall anything that would make me stop playing on ps3.
