Obviously the pick of the week is the highly touted game that's receiving plenty of press, Watch_Dogs. Critics have been varying wildly on the game, ranging from perfection to a nice attempt at a franchise, but it has a long way to go. Graphical issues and glitches have hindered the game and is a complaint in many of the reviews, leaving many to wonder if the developers really struggled at putting this game together even after its lengthy delay.

Not much press is out yet for Aksys Games' Mind Zero on Vita, but you can either await reviews or try your luck for just under $30 with it on sale.

Note that with PS+, The LEGO Movie video games are at a further discount ($40.49 on PS4, $33.74 on PS3, $20.24 on Vita) and Master Reboot for PS3 is at $7.64.

Persona 4 Golden finally gets the discount that the retail version received months ago. Well worth it at that price, even though $30 is good enough for how great of a game that is. I'd highly recommend Catherine at $10 as well for those that like puzzle games that go along with one of the better, most original stories you'll find in a game.

Some things that look better than they really are: Rayman Legends received a hefty slash from its $60 price tag, but that's an outrageous price digitally. Currently you can find a retail copy of the game for just $16.99 at Amazon.

Also, The Cursed Crusade looks tempting for just $5, receiving a $15 discount. But that game sucks, so don't get suckered into it. 

Instant Game Collection

This week's free game is LIMBO on PlayStation Vita. Very much recommended. I played this game when received in a Humble Bundle on the PC and will definitely be playing it again on the Vita. 

Have a great week!
