Sony has today announced the return of the PSN Play promotion, which will be once again showcasing another range of top PSN titles for this summer, as well as a bunch of special offers and a rebate for purchasing several of the participating PSN Play titles.

PSN Play will be kicking off on July 24th, at which point you'll be able to pre-order The Expendables 2: Videogame the week before it releases first on the PlayStation Network on July 31st. You can pre-order each PSN Play title the week before it launches. PlayStation Plus members can also get 20% off each title, while buying two or more games will give you cashback to spend on other PSN purchases.

Here's the complete rundown of the participating PSN Play titles with their release dates, prices and so on. Check it all out:


July 31: The Expendables 2 Videogame (PS3) – Leading off the PLAY promotion and launching first exclusively on PSN, the latest and most explosive co-op action shoot’em up title coming to PSN, based on the popular movie franchise this game leads players right into the upcoming The Expendables 2 movie. The story begins when four Expendables (Barney, Gunner, Caesar and Yin Yang) are hired to rescue an extremely valuable, kidnapped Chinese billionaire. Featuring vehicular combat, four-player co-op story and challenge modes, and a wealth of exotic locales, The Expendables 2 Videogame offers everything an action-game fan could want. Pre-order The Expendables 2 Videogame starting July 24 for $14.99 ($11.99 for PLUS members) and check out the following trailer.


August 7: Sound Shapes (PS3/PS Vita) Play, Compose and Share in a unique take on the classic sidescrolling platformer where your actions make the music. Equal parts instrument and game, Sound Shapes gives everyone the ability to make music. Play through a unique campaign that fuses music and artwork into a classic 2D platformer featuring artwork by Pixeljam, Capy, Superbrothers and more, with music by I Am Robot and Proud, Jim Guthrie and Deadmau5. Additionally, Sound Shapes comes to the PLAY program as a cross-platform title, allowing players to play at home on their PS3, or take it on the go with PlayStation Vita. Create and upload your levels on either platform for others to download and remix on their own. Sound Shapes creates an ever-changing musical community for everyone to enjoy, anywhere. Pre-order Sound Shapes starting July 31 for $14.99 ($11.99 for PLUS members).


August 14: Papo & Yo (PS3) PSN exclusive indie game Papo & Yo tells the story of a young boy, Quico, and his best friend, Monster. Taking place in a dreamlike world inspired by South American favelas, Papo & Yo entices players to explore and solve puzzles as Quico, while simultaneously preventing Monster from eating poisonous frogs, which throws him into an uncontrollable rage. As one of PSN’s most-anticipated indie titles, Papo & Yo is a truly unique and beautiful experience that players can only get on PSN. Pre-order Papo & Yo starting August 7 for $14.99 ($11.99 for PLUS members).


August 21: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (PS3) One of the gaming world’s most celebrated first-person shooter series makes its way to PSN with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, offering an updated take on the tried-and-true objective-based gameplay. Pitting teams of counter-terrorists against terrorists, Global Offensive features a number of classic game types like Bomb Diffusal and Hostage Rescue, and introduces two new modes: Arms Race and Demolition. Up to 10 players can engage in online matches, and the game also supports PlayStation Move, giving players a brand new way to experience the classic Counter-Strike gameplay.

Last year I purchased all 4 Play titles, however I don't feel this year will be the same. These don't stack up to Festival of Blood, Street Fighter 3, Bloodrayne and Regegade Ops. I think I will probably pick up Expendables and Sounds and Shapes.

It's really good that they are continuing this program tho.

I don't know why, but I kind of expected more for a Summer Kickoff! I do admit that the Expendables 2 looks great. Other than that, I'm not too hyped.

Expendables 2 is only one what looks ok out of all of them.

Counter Strike was god but that was years ago, all other FPS have way surpassed it now.

@13 You might want to watch out who you say that to. Don't let CoD's casual-crowd popularity fool you into thinking it makes CoD a "better" FPS than Counter-Strike.

While they certainly make these titles sound interesting, the only one that looks appealing is CS:GO. Sound Shapes sounds interesting but not $15 interesting.

@5 Not to sound biased or offensive. But for once, your not sounding like an ass.

I'll definitely get papo & yo and sound shapes. The other two don't excite me that much. I can't believe how much people gripe about getting discounts. They don't have to offer us any summer discounts. Maybe instead of hauling off about how this is crap people should be happy that they do it at all and realize that not every discussion is made to cater to your individual wants.

The Expendables 2 could be good, Chuck Norris is in the film. I wouldn't want to control him though, there's a high price for trying to control Chuck Norris.
