Here's Your PlayStation Plus Update for May (NTSC Edition)

Here we go with May's offering of free, discounted and time-exclusive PS Plus content. There's some great stuff in here.

The PSN titles in particular are all excellent. Indeed, such is their quality that it's hard to pick a highlight. The quirky team-based shooter Awesomenauts, the gorgeously-lit Trine 2 and the bonkers castle-smasher Rock of Ages are all worth your time. And they're all free, of course.

As are Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Castlevania Chronicles, a couple of old-school vampiric classics. Plenty to sink your teeth into I think you'll agree (sorry).

Read on for the full list of PS Plus perks for the month of May, courtesy of the PS Blog.

I might have to set a calendar reminder to download these games. My PS3 will be collecting dust while I play Diablo III starting at 12:01 a.m. on May 15th.

You are correct @1. I bought Trine when it was PS+ discounted & now I get Trine 2 for Free & Rock of Ages is a Fun Game with a "Monty Python" Style to it that I played on the 360.

Say will Ghost recon Future Soldier have digital launch on the same day as the Blu-ray launch??

It's saying there that the Full game trial is launching on 22/5.

Trine 2, Castlevania Chronicles and SOTN? Holy man good week. I really wish Sony would get working on PSOne classics on Vita already. Got a ton I need to start playing but would rather play them on the Vita.
