Sony's Welcome Back Program: Which Games Should you Choose?

Part of: PlayStation Network Games

Sony's PlayStation Network is finally fully up and running following its extended shutdown. As a part of its return, Sony has launched its "Welcome Back" program allowing PSN users to download several free titles.

The Welcome Back Program Offers:

  1. Two free games from a list of five (two retail games and three PSN Titles)
  2. A month of free PS Plus Subscription or 60 days of free subscription for the active subscribers.
  3. two free PSP games from a list of five
  4. Free items on PS Home

That isn't much if you ask me considering the fact that loads of PSN members lost their personal information including their credit card numbers to the hackers.

But we should make the most of what we have and so I'm writing this article to give my opinion on what 2 games you should choose to make the most of the Welcome Back program. 

The five PS3 games offered are:

  • InFamous
  • Little Big Planet
  • Dead Nation
  • SuperStardust HD
  • WipEout HD Bundle

InFamous: It is a really good game. A third person shooter where you take control of Cole, a guy with electric powers. It has a good story and loads of collectibles. I don't see a lot of replay value in this though. You can go through the game twice, once taking the "evil" path and then the "hero" path. After that, you're done.

Little Big Planet: This is an amazing platformer with a lot of replay value. You can finish the story mode then create your own levels with the level editor or play the different levels made from people around the world.

Dead Nation: A good game but it gets repetitive very fast. You can play online or co-op with your friends and blast your way though zombies.

Super Stardust HD:  This game is just epic. You can play with your friends locally or online. You move on the surface of various planets blasting asteroids for points with 360-degree shooting. It is really satisfying to play.

WipEout HD Bundle: This is Wipeout HD and the WipEout Fury Expansion Pack. It is a really good racer with amazing visuals. You get power-ups which keep the action going. If you're a fan of racing games, this won't let you down.
