Rock of Ages....yeah, didn't see that coming!

So what do you think?

A rock-solid combination of rock-rolling action, deep strategy, and captivating art and music from different ages of history, this is a game of crush or be crushed! Two castles stand opposed; one is yours, the other is your enemy’s. They’re jerks and their castle sucks, so you’re going to try to smash it using an enormous boulder. Even as they build up their defenses, you’re ready to roll over them in order to raze that unsightly tower. But beware! There’s a giant boulder headed your way, too.

Rock of Ages is available at no-cost for the next four weeks (until 29th August) and is not part of the usual rotation for Plus members – it’s an added extra for all our subscribers this August. That means come the mid-month update you still have two more fantastic titles to grab for Your Instant Game Collection.

And that’s not the end of it! There’s EVEN more to come, including extra value especially for Plus members on Andy’s fantastic Summer special offers, launch discounts on a selection of new titles and a few more special bits and pieces to come to light later in the month.

I will be back on 15th August, during gamescom 2012 with two more games for Your Instant Game Collection to replace Darksiders and Renegade Ops, both of which have only two weeks left as part of YIGC.

I’ll also have a launch date for the very first of our PlayStation Plus Presents indie titles, Retro/Grade!

See you in the comments…

Don’t forget the nine other fantastic games available to download for PlayStation Plus subscribers.

But Stranger is keeping a secret and needs expensive surgery to survive. In his quest to earn enough Moolah, Stranger reluctantly accepts the ultimate bounty from the owner of the Mongo River and suddenly his adventure takes a very different turn.

I should really get PS+ already...

Yeah you hardly can call yourself a gamer if you don't have PS+ (or atleast not a smart one).

And you know what is even more awesome? We will get 2 more full retail games in 2 weeks and retro/grade on the 22th August.(new psn game)

fucking hell...this is way better than the US one this time around as well

I sure hope we get Deus ex and Dead Space as well...tho I do love that we are getting the walking dead

Wow, what a steal. PS plus always seems to give away games I already played. Damn me for being an early consumer.Americans should get this one it is so terroriffic unless your a wussy D21Lewis.

oh man, i'd love to get DS2. i've been meaning to buy that one for ages and just haven't gotten around to it (picked up ICO/SotC instead last purchase). hope this comes to the US.

I like how PS+ always picks games I haven't played yet (only exception is LBP2 ) :)

I probably won't renew my subscription until Vita games start being part of the service and even then I own over 10 already. It's my own fault for buying all these mainstream games so the service isn't of much use to me at the moment.

But for those that generally rent games or can't afford videogames very often, PSN+ is pretty amazing. Is there any way to gauge how many people subscribe to the service?

gotta wait to see when sony reveals some estimates sadly. But I think they must have seen a big surge in subsribers post E3. The service is just Amazing!
