Mass Effect 3 and Dead or Alive 5 represented two of the best games yet to appear as part of the PlayStation Plus subscription but the games for April have now been announced.
Replacing EA’s sprawling RPG conclusion and Tecmo’s 3D brawler are Okami HD, Lord of the Rings: War in the North and The Cave. Vita owners will get Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward and – yes! – Thomas Was Alone.
The Cave is well worth trying (and is barely a month or two old) and obviously Thomas Was Alone is a brilliant indie hit in the making, only just announced for PlayStation platforms.
The PS3 games will be available on the 3rd of April, whilst Zero Escape appears on the 10th, and Thomas Was Alone on the 24th. Remember to grab this month’s games before they expire.
PlayStation Plus continues to represent fantastic value for money, providing a constant flow of new games each month. These latest titles might not be quite as weighty in terms of being big names, but Okami is great and it’s good to see the Vita getting some love again.

Never played a Mass Effect game before but decided to download it yesterday and give it a go. Just in time.

Aaaaah I was going to buy Okami and Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward eventually. I <3 Playstation Plus.

I’ve still not played the demo of The Cave. May as well delete that and make way for the full game.

If you hold onto it in theory u will just need to download the unlock key when it becomes available on PS+ (certainly how Joe Danger 2 worked for me)

Pretty much wanted all of those games but nevre bought them, win for me!
Also anyone in London can get a 90 day PS+ subscription from Picadilly HMV for £8.
I suspect other closing HMVs will have a similar deal.

Okami! Nice one, I had that game on my “you have to play this before the PS4 is released” list, glad to have it :)

I’d been waiting for Okami, didn’t think they would go for it though. How wonderful! And Zero Escape too? I’m embarrassed by the pace at which I attempt to catch up with Plus content. I’m yet to download ME3…

VLR: Zero Escape is a great story driven game but be prepared for a lot of text. Waiting patiently for Need for Speed on Vita to appear on Plus..

the unprepared should read more often :D

Sweet selection.

There’s been a hint on the PS Eu blog that they’re trying to get ninja gaiden sigma 1 for the vita for May. Might be interesting if they are successful.
