For those of you who yearn for more games in the style of Super Monkey Ball or Marble Madness, your choices are limited. You could pick up Katamari Forever and, well, that's about it. So when Hamsterball emerges and presents itself as the scratch to satisfy both itches, it's difficult not to be curious. You can overlook the title and the fact that you play as a hamster because, well, you did play Super Monkey Ball. Unfortunately, Hamsterball lacks something that keeps it from being the solution to all your animal-rolling-in-a-ball woes: fun
“There are tons of PS3 games that you can stream with PlayStation Plus and Hamsterball is one of the weirdest but it's also super-fun.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
A clumped mass of games is hitting PSN next month, and a lot of it is free to PS Plus subscribers. Including Awesomenauts, the multiplayer battle arena style game from the creators of another former freebie a la PS Plus called Swords & Soldiers.
The list of free games goes on and on, most likely totaling somewhere in the range of $100 worth. For PS3 gamers that have not yet signed up for a Plus subscription may want to consider next month as the best time to do so.
Remember though, nearly all PS Plus freebie are only free for a one week period, thereafter going for the full price, so you want to be punctual.
