PlayStation Releases this week (1/7): Don't Starve for PS4, free Devil May Cry for PS3

A couple of free games are available for PlayStation Plus subscribers, and there's a huge load of price changes and add-ons for multiple games for all the PlayStation platforms.

First, here's a look at the new release list:

• Don't Starve (PS4) - $14.99 (PS+ Free)
• Tiny Brains (PS3) - $19.99 (cross-buy)
• Twisted Lands: Shadow Town (PS3) - $11.99 (demo available)
• StreetKix: Freestyle (PSP) - $11.99 (PS+ $10.79)
• Furmins + Bonus World (Vita) - $6.49

It's a pretty light week for new releases. Obviously, the biggest release of the week is Don't Starve, and that will be free for all PS+ subscribers that own a PS4 console.

Don't Starve is a port from the PC game released last May. Marty Sliva of IGN reviewed the game and both loves and loathes the approach of the unique Minecraft clone's ability to "never hold [a player's] hand."It received a 7.0 on IGN's 1-10 rating scale.

Klei Entertainment's stylish take on Minecraft's formula through the lense of a roguelike drops you into the gorgeous wild and immediately abandons you to figure out how to survive on your own. Some adventurers will view this freedom as a liberating canvas on which they can express their patience, creativity, and bravery, but this complete lack of direction or goals beyond simply staying alive prevented me from ever really bonding with Don't Starve.

In this week's Instant Game Collection, PS+ subscribers will not only receive Don't Starve on PS4, but they'll also get DmC: Devil May Cry on PS3

Plenty of games received permanent retail price changes. Here are some of the highlights:

• Dark Souls: Artorias of the Abyss Add-On - $9.99
• Lego Lord of the Rings (PS3/Vita) - $19.99
• Saints Row IV - $39.99
• Dokuro - $2.99

There's only one sale, and that's Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable, discounted from $39.99 to $14.99.  I explored deeper into the title, and it was a six-year-old port of an Xbox 360 game released last year at this time. It's a 3rd-person arcade shooter that looks like a fun romp for a time waster, but in Polygon's review, the bugs in the game will probably get me to stay away.

A slew of add-ons and themes were also released. Add-on ighlights include the Illustrious Pirates Pack for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (both PS3 and PS4), multiple LittleBigPlanet 2 (and Karting) costume packs, a free Stadium Pack in Pro Evolution Soccer 2014, and the Anime Pack in Saints Row IV.

Capcom will release worst game bundle of all time October 8th

Capcom Essentials will be a bundle released on October 8th for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It includes five of Capcom's games of this generation and a travel bag.

The travel bag may be the best part of the deal.

Here's the list of games in the $59.99 retail priced bundle:

• Dead Rising 2
• Devil May Cry 4
• Mega Man 10
• Resident Evil 6
• Super Street Fighter 4

The bundle includes four discs in two cases with MM10 having a download code. That's a collection games that doesn't feature any DLC content, which most collections would include.

SSF4 isn't even the arcade edition, which is even cheaper on Amazon than the original. DMC 4 is not the reboot that was released later on and can be found really cheap.

In fact, since none of these games include any DLC content, anyone can find used copies of each of these games for about $5. And RE6 isn't even worth a purchase.

This collection screams straight cash homie for Capcom. It's as if the company took all the extra copies of these games, gutted them, and put them in these cases. All clear profit for Capcom that deserves a more reasonable price of...well, $30 at the most.

Where's the EA haters at now? They released a Humble Bundle Origin collection, with better games, a much better price, and that money heads to multiple charities.
