Just a cut and paste of the blog page to save you pickerelbites a click. I already have Unfinished Swan (which is great by the way). I'll put all of them on my download list even if I can only play the PS3 games and I have no idea if the Murasaki Baby with work on PS TV. (apparently not)
 
Guacamelee

Race the Sun

This minimalist racing game forces you to compete against the setting sun in what is both a deeply calming and nail-biting session. That may sound like a contradiction, but it’s true!

A strange puzzle game with an eerie atmosphere. Players guide Baby through a nightmarish landscape in search of home. It’s cute, and also a little weird.

Looks good. Definitely excited to check these out.

FYI, Guacamelee is awesome!

I have to say that I appreciate the free game offerings, but I rarely seem to play any of them....  Outside of Rogue Legacy.  That being said, this month does seem to be a list of games that I nearly picked up along the way.

I have Guacamelee on my computer thanks to Humble Bundle but haven't played it yet. Glad I waited so I can use a nice controller for it. I'm surprised it's taken this long for The Unfinished Swan to show up on PS+ but I played that back in January. Good thing too! Would have felt like an idiot for paying for it, like, two years ago and never playing it before it was free. Dodged a bullet there lol.

I played the first few hours of Guacamelee and it's pretty awesome so far. The art is great, it has very nice combat and I love the references they throw around (even the obvious ones).

My PSPlus membership has lapsed. I like there are free games, but I'm kind of up to my eyeballs in games already. I heard you need PSPlus for online play on PS4. Is that true?

Also, beware. This Pickerel bites.

sadly still not enough to convince me to give + a try. plus i'm afraid i'll miss out on some great sales where I can't buy the game if I happen to already "own" it thru +
