Instant Game Collection

There are two new games added into the IGC for PS+ subscribers. First, those that either have a PS4 or don't must claim their title of Mercenary Kings. The arcade shooter that resembles a throwback to the Metal Slug series is an absolute must-own for fans of the genre or those that are looking to kill some quick time without getting deep into a AAA title.

Not tired of super heroes yet? Batman: Arkham City is free on PS3. The classic by Rocksteady that's received rave reviews is now available. An interesting time unlocking this game considering a deluxe edition of the newer Arkham Origins was dropped today. Anybody that has a PS+ subscription and needs to get their Batman fix should just skip right past Origins and pick up the much better City for free.
