From every mountain top ... let free games rain ! Right now Sony is throwing so many freebies at me I do not have time to keep up ( come on Kaz unleash GAIKAI already) ...
In the last year of PS3, Sony is really coming alive with the way it is hooking this gen of gamers.
Over a period of 6 weeks there are free games on you PSVita or PSM running Android device and who do we thank for this ? Well thanks go to Steve Jobs of course who with his iOS and his iTunes managed to free us from exploitative retail music and game stores ... Wait..doh!!
It wasn't so long ago that free games meant piracy ,something that was supposed to lead to end of the retail games industry.
Well the games industry ,no longer shackled by bricks and mortar retail is now mature enough to offer free games and this is seen as a model for future growth and success, this hooking of gamers is going to be essential for Sony to transition current PS3 console fans to the PS4 , especially in this era where PC gaming (cloud/non cloud) , Android and iOS are the real threats to the soon to be unveiled Sony console.
And thus we see free games from Sony on Android, PSM, PSN, PS Vita here and a year's worth of PlayStation plus too with a pre order of a classic white model ...perhaps the last PS3 update before this years rumoured October PS4 launch..
This month PlayStation Plus subs get Bioshock 2, Mortal Kombat and Guardians of Middle Earth Free..
I haven't finished downloading last months stuff yet...
So whilst Steve may have begun it all, Sony and others are picking up and taking free games , and the Free 2 Play model to new heights not with apps but real games . I cannot tell you how cool it is for an old time gamer to get Jet Set Radio free on PSN AND PSVita ....just magine access to ALL the Sony back catalogue , streamed through the now Sony owned GAIKAI ..to your tablets , phones , PCs ,console and Apple Macs ... all for a yearly Play Station Plus subscription... Real games , might just turn a few iOS and Android gamers back towards Sony ..
Now if I can play my instant game collection across Android , PC , iOS and PlayStation 4 instantly with GAIKAI .. well I might even say that was $384 million well spent on Sony's part... and £39.99 on mine!
