A shining gem in a pile of meh… Your PSN update for the week.

Double Dragon Neon and Red Johnson’s Chronicles free for PS+, Max Payne 3 at a discount, YouTube released for Canadia, YAWN!!!  What’s this La Pucelle: Tactics?  The rest is kinda meh on the excitement-o-meter, but La Pucelle is a great game to pick up.  If you haven’t played it, I would implore you to give it another try.  Scott Pilgrim for free is a worthy pickup too, if you like arcade beat ’em ups.  If you play one of the other free games for PS+ make sure you let us know be Capt. Cheap beats you to it.
