PlayStation Plus Members Get 'The Simpsons Arcade Game' Free on February 7th
Wed Feb 01, 2012 at 10:30 AM ETTags: The Simpsons Arcade Game, XBLA, PSN, PlayStation Plus (all tags)
This news also means, of course, that 'The Simpsons Arcade Game' is coming out February 7th.
For whatever reason, folks have been keeping quiet about the release of 'The Simpsons Arcade Game.' There haven't been official announcements or trailers and all the information we've gotten up until now we've had to glean from ESRB ratings and the like.
As it turns out, 'The Simpsons Arcade Game' is just around the corner. It's coming free to PlayStation Plus members on the 7th. We can only assume that this news means 'The Simpsons Arcade Game' will be available to everyone else on the same day as well.
There's no word yet on an XBLA version of the game. We know it's been rated and that means that in all likelihood it will be coming, but at this point we don't know when.

'Starhawk' Coming May 8th, Beta for PlayStation Plus Members is Live
Thu Jan 19, 2012 at 11:30 AM ETTags: Starhawk, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Plus (all tags)
If you're not a PlayStation Plus member, you'll have to wait your turn. A full public beta will open up on February 21st.
The followup to 'Warhawk,' which has simply had an "early 2012" release date in the past has finally been nailed down to May 8th. Not exactly early, but at least it's a firm date.
If you're a PlayStation Plus member, or if you participated in the closed beta, you can get in on the public beta now. It's free to join and you'll be influential in finding bugs, balancing the game, figuring out server traffic and more. And, of course, you get to play the game.
Not a Plus member? If you got a 'Starhawk' beta key with 'Uncharted 3' you'll get in on January 31st. If not, there will be giveaways and other ways to get in up until February 21st when the beta goes live for all PSN members.

Pay for a Year of PlayStation Plus and get 'Jurassic Park: The Game' for Free
Wed Nov 02, 2011 at 10:30 AM ETTags: Jurassic Park: The Game, PlayStation Plus, PlayStation 3 (all tags)
A $30 game free with a $50 subscription - now that's a nice setup. The deal only lasts until the 8th though, so get on it fast.
PlayStation Plus is a bit of a tricky proposition. You have to pay a monthly fee, but you get access to free games each month, discounts on other titles, and early access to demos. Whether that's worth $50 a year really depends on you.
Sony has sweetened the pot considerably though, and now there's little question about whether it's worth signing up for the service. If you sign up now and subscribe to a year of PlayStation Plus, you'll get the brand new Telltale title 'Jurassic Park: The Game' absolutely free.
It's a cool offer, but it's not going to last long. Sony is giving you until Tuesday the 8th to take advantage of this deal, so if you're going to jump on it, do it soon.
