![]() ![]() I have, not once, thought about kicking in my Xbox Game Pass Ultimate sub the value of games per month is one thing, but the way it lets me pick up and play across mobile, PC and console is the clincher. We won't hear you, but you'll have fun! Get all the podcast episodes here. 30 mins, funny, and you can even play along at home by shouting out your suggestions. It's brilliant, and that's not just a view we hold as the people that make it. Get your ears wrapped around VG247's Best Games Ever Podcast. This month it was Garden Story, and in the past we've seen the likes of Generation Zero and a triple-threat of Gorogoa, Olija and The Pedestrian. Good deal?Īgain, Xbox Game Pass does this – and the bonus games it trots out with little-to-no fanfare are usually excellent, to boot. But if we're getting 'stealth drops' in the form of Dino Crisis and Ridge Racer 2, then I'll concede Sony's PS Plus output might be satisfying enough for me to keep my highest-level sub. The starting line-up of PS Plus Premium games left something to be desired: Tekken 2 is only going to carry you so far, Sony. If that is the case, then I will climb down from my tower of judgement, hold my hands up and say "OK, fair enough". There are suggestions – thanks to a leaked PS Plus listing via PlayStation Italy, now altered to remove references to unannounced games – that Dino Crisis, Ridge Racer 2 and Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny will all be coming to the service in July, too. Maybe I'm being too quick with my judgements (or maybe I'm being spoiled by the continually impressive cadence of Xbox Game Pass, down past the other side of the gaming fence). ![]() ![]() We all need to see Elliot Page's cheekbones and jawline in 4K to really believe them, after all. I could happily nudge that down to £10.99 and go down to that oh-so-unimpressive 1080p tier, but I think the service – just about – gives me enough content per month to keep me keen. It's similar to the Netflix subscription I pay for: I pay out £15.99 per month for the subscription, because I have a 4K HDR TV that I want to make the most of. Sorry, LocoRoco, you're just not enough to make me care. But, by the same token, Sony asked for more money for this service: if you want to raid our wallets for £13.49 per month / £99.99 per year, versus the Extra tier cost of £10.99 per month and £83.99 per year, customers are going to want to feel like they're getting what they pay for. Yes, it takes work to add in the global save state system that makes once-infuriating games much more playable in 2022. Yes, it takes work to layer the rewind feature into the games. You may well be fans of No Heroes Allowed and LocoRoco Midnight Carnival, and rightly so – they're great games in their own right! – but Sony inferred that we'd be getting substantially more than this at the highest tier of the service. In the US and UK, the highest – most expensive – tier of Sony's revamped monthly service offers only two additional PSP games this month. But where PS Plus Extra fans are dancing in the streets with their feline friends on Day One of the game's release, PS Plus Premium subscribers are looking at their dedicated little section of the PS5 UI and going '.oh'.
