Sony has announced the line-up for May’s Instant Game Collection, and the theme seems to be ‘really bloody hard’.

The headline titles available to download free for PlayStation Plus subscribers are Hitman: Absolution – as revealed last week – and lunatic platform puzzler Catherine, which is about infidelity, nightmares, and, well, sheep.

Then comes the hard stuff. 3D brawler Malicious for PS3 is basically just a series of five diamond-hard boss battles fought against the clock, and both of May’s PS Vita games are old-school scrolling shooters – Sine Mora and the teleport madness of Velocity Ultra.

Here’s a summary of when these games are arriving and what’s making way, and a video from PlayStation Access so you can see all the games in action.

• 1st May: Hitman Absolution

I knew i should have subscribed to EU psn plus instead of US psn plus :(

Not bad, and this is why i bought a year of plus. ive had xbl for ever and never got anything but undertow as a gift because xbl went down for a day or two.

Well that is just nice. I own Catherine and Hitman so.. basically another nothing for me-month.

On Hitman: Absolution, is there a way to get the sniper mini game they did as pre-order bonus?

Sine, Malicious, Catherine . Mine

Velocity Ultra is the top PS+ game for me. The original game was perfect amd this will only be better and free :D. All in all it's a great month for me as I own none of the games.

Microsoft must change its business strategy and the idea of ​​Xbox Live Gold ASAP. No more paying money for nothing.

I am a PS+ member since almost 1 year and it's a great service but I have this crazy thing of thinking that whenever something is free it immediately drops in value for me, except for the very first seconds after an announcement when I tend to think "wow, what a bargain, I am really lucky".

For example, I was planning to get Hitman from the bargain bin at 20 Euros or something, but now that I know will get it for free I feel like I will never even bother to play it.

"Free" translates to "not worth my time" in my mind and I almost can't control it.

Does anyone feel even remotely the same?

So jealous
