News::Like sands through the hourglass: PlayStation Plus deals

Do you not have enough games to play because you are a literal, oiled and titanium game playing machine (or our own Chris Carter)? Well, Sony's got your back this week, like every week, with a mad array of free and discounted games, particularly for those indoctrinated in the cult of PlayStation Plus. Has anyone else had to get their robes let out, what with all the sitting around and playing 'free' games?


This Tuesday, the excellent and much loved Bit.Trip Presents Runner2 (regularly $14.99) will be made free for PS+ users. The Runner2 Good Friends character pack, normally $3, will run you $1.91. Game for zilch, less than a two dollar bill to play as characters from Super Meat Boy, Spelunky, Psychonauts, and more. Support Raz and Psychonauts, you skinflints. Or don't, I'm not in control of your finances. I just like Psychonauts.


Also available is a Tomb Raider bundle which includes Quantum Conundrum, because apparently Lara raided that grave, am I right? (I'm sure the game is excellent; I got it for free via PS+ and haven't played it yet) Regularly $45, the pack is on sale for $22.49 for everyone, $20.24 for PS+ members. It includes Tomb Raider and a bunch of DLC, like Hitman: Absolution weapons and multiplayer costume packs and map.


Lastly, a bunch of Japanese PS Vita games are going on sale over the next two weeks. Full list below. I should probably finally buy Katamari Vita at less than $4. Oh, and if you haven't played Gravity Rush yet, c'mon. It's superb. And free (for PlayStation Plus; on sale otherwise). Looking at picking anything up?
