For the new page:
How long will the PS Vita games Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Wipeout 2048, Gravity Rush, etc. (the ones included in late November's Instant Game Collection) be free for PS+ members?
Thanks, guys! Looking forward to joining the PS+ fun!

Completely forgot about that! Thanks!
They'll either refresh those games at E3 along with the PS3 ones (inFAMOUS 2, LBP2, & Ratchet) or they'll wait the full year and refresh them in November. They wont be going away anytime soon, they're selling a bundle right now with the game art plastered on the box.

Just got PS+, so I'm not sure how it works... do those "main" free games get changed only yearly?
Well that's the case for Infamous 2, LBP 2, and Ratchet All 4 One for the PS3. They'll change at E3. We assume something similar will be the case for Vita.
You keep it as long as you have PS+. Sleeping Dogs is only confirmed for European PS+ though.
I think they have a monthly update. There is a specific 'Free Games' section in the store under 'PS+'.

Any rumors on the big free game for US PS+ this month?
Nope. They keep pretty shtum.
Maybe Dead Space 2 with the release of DS3 being so close by?

It varies, but the bigger games usually stick around for longer (3 months to a year) than the smaller ones (usually change once a month).
Oh, that would be delicious. Like Bioshock 2, I started and never finished when it came out at retail. Would love a chance to get back to it.
Believe it or not, in a family with kids whose games are all BDs, it's difficult to get to my games if they're also on BD. Every time I sit down, my game's been ejected and put somewhere random around the living room.
Getting a game through PS+ and having it on the HDD means I can play any time without worrying about it.
I know, I know. FWP and all that.
I want this but only if it was a Dead Space 2 + Extraction come out as free so I can completely replace/sell my DS2 disc. If just DS2 comes out by itself I'm screwed because I still need my DS2 disc to boot up extraction (even though I have it to downloaded to my HDD). So....yeah.

EU picked this up last month, it's okay, although I didn't get much past the tutorial lol
Noticed that you have Knytt and BSI on discount. These were both free for EU too. Seems the US are getting the shitty end of the stick again.....

Guardians of Middle Earth? Sure; why not.

I'm not sure how long Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus has been a freebie for Vita, but I gave it a download over the weekend and started playing it. It actually surprised me in terms of how much I've been playing it. Although I'll be the first to admit that I'm playing it on "hero mode" aka ninja dog difficulty. Never been terribly good at NG games.
mehhh
Does Guardians even work yet? I bought it at launch and matchmaking didn't work (which is unfortunate for a multiplayer only game). Stopped checking after a month.

Probably Knytt and BSI for me. I still haven't played the Karateka demo to decide if it's worth the time of playing.

Guardians of Middle Earth is actually a decent moba game all things considered. Def worth your time for free anyway.

The fuck, I already got Guardians from EU PSN!
Karateka...I dunno it looks too simplistic, that I personally would get it for less than $5... Let me see its trophy list...

Will try the free game, but initially not interested.
For those of you wondering about Karateka, here is my take.
It tells the stories of three men who long for the same beautiful woman, captured by a warlord and held captive in a fortress. Each man, starting with the woman's true love, has an opportunity to save her. He, alas, has the most difficult challenge, while the ascetic monk who comes behind him -- should the true love fail -- has it somewhat easier. The crass brute, who arrives should the monk fail, is even stronger and has an even easier road.
The ending, naturally, depends on which man rescues the woman.
The game takes the old idea of the 8-bit game and mixes it with a rhythm game, where the battle is won by being able to hear audio cues and responding with the appropriate pattern of defensive moves and offensive strikes. There are some clever variations on this, and it is a difficult game. I have finished only on the brute and the monk. I have gotten nearly to the final battle with the true love, but I can't imagine I will ever win.
Some have complained about the animation, graphics, and so forth. These are ancillary. They tell the story and represent the action just fine. Deal with it.
There are, however a few bugs. I have had my copy lock up at least a half-dozen times. I also encountered a bizarre bug where an enemy ran behind me and kept running and the camera zoomed out further and further trying to keep us both in view. Very strange.
For $10, I got my money's worth, but I was dedicated to enjoying it. I don't believe that most people would want to pay $10, but at $5, it's getting close to a good buy.
Read other reviews for other opinions.

I think I have this trophy. I probably had 29 minutes on the clock. It took me 2-3 full games, losing the brute at the end of each. Perhaps I just suck? Hard to know.

The EU already got all of these games for free and from my experience non of them are worthwhile.
Guardians is an okay game with horrendous matchmaking. Bigsky is just plain awful and Knytt is amazingly boring and unexciting.
