June's IGC list is up:

Demons Souls
Ico / Shadow of the Colossus HD
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

Rayman Origins (Vita)

Link

A great month. I've never played Ico or SotC. I've played and beaten Kingdoms of Amalur and it is really good. Very underrated. Rayman Origins is a good game too but I've never played the Vita version. Yet another reason for me to buy a Vita.

---EDIT---

Oops, beaten by sheehy83

Anyone know what Kindgoms of Amalur is like? Haven't played Coconut dodge either.

Anyone who hasn't played any of the other games is in for a treat. All brilliant games. I hope Rayman Legends is released on Vita.

Amalur is good. Combat is the best part of it. NPCs are wooden and the game just wasn't that immersive...feels a bit soulless. Still worth playing. I'd advise not doing any / many side quests. I started doing them all and then found it a struggle to finish the main story.

I played the demo for KoA for the main reason of unlocking goodies in Mass Effect but wasn't really pushed by it. I never played ICO/SOTC but hear they are unmissable so will give them ago and as for Demon Souls, I got a lon of before so will definitely pick up where I left off [EMAIL="b@stard"]b@stard[/EMAIL] of a game!

Bit of a medieval/fantasy type theme to the PS3 games this month

I think they're acting on the poll on the blog.
Most sought after games were RPGs and there are two this month.

CastorTroy · 15-05-2013 12:26PM

Were PS2 games mentioned on the poll results? Can't check from work. Just thinking if they were then the HD release of Ico collection and the HD GoW previously could be in response to that

Zero-Cool · 15-05-2013 12:34PM

I definitely remember asking for PS1 & PS2 classics in PS+ purely to get Resident Evil 4 but never saw the results. Just did a search and found this.

No, just genres.

Yours looks much nicer though :pac:

CastorTroy · 15-05-2013 12:37PM

Don't know why I didn't vote, but I would go with Action/Adventure, platformers and puzzle. Wonder what falls under "Others". Maybe dance/singing/music games

Yeah, or maybe it does include votes for PS1/2 games. I think you could specifically ask for stuff too.

From the blog it looks like might be more games to follow too:

When will you post the yearly update games for june?

Jaysus it's like the opposite of a Steam sale. No Sony No! I already have too many free games to play!

jaxdasher · 15-05-2013 01:19PM

It has to be a sony game. Id say one of the uncharted games.

Not quite the opposite. Just the same except "free" replaced with "really, really, ridiculously good looking cheap"

Sony games.

chopperbyrne · 15-05-2013 02:59PM

Could be Killzone 3.

CastorTroy · 15-05-2013 05:03PM

FYI
Velocity Ultra available for Vita now

Zero-Cool · 16-05-2013 08:28AM

possibillity of XCOM, Assassins Creed 3 or Uncharted 3 being added as PS+ games in the future.

All of this news comes from Chris Howe, PlayStation Store and PlayStation
Plus Content Manager at SCEE, who was asked if they could “shift some attention”
to other genres, such as strategy, with XCOM: Enemy Unknown mentioned
by the commenter. Coyly, Chris responded with “we may have something
planned………..,” so take that as you will.

Getting into more specifics, another commenter asked if there was a chance
that either Assassin’s Creed III or Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception
would be on the Instant Game Collection within the next couple of months.
Chris replied by saying, “Quite possibly, I know one of them will for certain,
but I can’t say which.”

First party titles are a definite for PS+. It doesn't really cost Sony anything.

Sure costs Sony nothing these games are being given away by developers before new online content or sequels are released to bump interest.

Yeah it makes complete sense for developers and studios. New sales of 12+ month old games must be pretty minimal. Get those games out for free on PS+ and make money on the DLC. I know I've supported a number of PS+ games with DLC (Sleeping Dogs being the most recent) which I might not have done had I paid 30 quid for the game.

I have to agree the vita games have been pretty weak.

Why are you giving Rayman a miss? It's a brilliant game.

Whether you heard of them or not doesn't really matter, Demon Souls is one of the best games of this generation. It's not for everyone I suppose but if you like a very challenging and rewarding game then it's for you.

Really? I don't have a Vita myself but with all the games they have put up on the service I really want one. It seems as though they have put all the best games up for free like WipeOut, Uncharted, Rayman Origins plus games like Thomas Was Alone.
