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.

Great stuff. Already own War in the North but there’s enough there to keep me happy this month.

I can highly recommend VLR, I bought it about a month ago (£29.99) and really enjoyed it.

I too bought it a month ago and Platinumed is recently. Looking forward to the sequel!

First month I haven’t already got at least 1 game on the update, so I’ll gladly take the lot.
And to think, I nearly bought both Okami and Virtues last reward this week, but the size of my backlog, the lack of time to play games as much as I’d like atm, and the saving I’m trying to do to buy a house made me hesitate just long enough to forget to do it.

Cool. I don’t own any of these games so I’ll be trying out all 5 when they’re available…..Mind you, with the size of my backlog, It’ll probably take me till about 2014 to get through them all. 8o

Amazing update. I’m going to download all of these and probably play one of them at some point next year.
