August’s PlayStation Plus lineup includes Yakuza 5

I’ll cherish that, at least

When it comes to these PlayStation Plus lists, I largely tend to focus on what’s happening on PlayStation 4. Not this time! My attention has gone straight to the PS3 and PS Vita offerings.

In August, PS Plus members will be able to download these titles at no extra cost:

PlayStation 4

• Head-to-head puzzler Tricky Towers
• Space sim Rebel Galaxy

PlayStation 3

• Japanese action-adventure Yakuza 5
• Rhythmic “shoot-’em-up in reverse” Retro/Grade

PlayStation Vita

• Musical murder sim Patapon 3
• Arcade arena shooter Ultratron (also playable on PS3, PS4)

I’m thrilled about Yakuza‘s inclusion as someone who has wanted to get into the series for a while now. Gonna need to dust off and set up the ol’ PS3, which means Kyle will begin hounding me to play Asura’s Wrath again, something I’ve also been putting off. I’m running out of excuses here!

Patapon 3, for those who still need it, is a great get. I’d love to see that series make a comeback.
