LAST MONTH ON PS PLUS

STAY INDOORS. Do not talk about the event. Do not think about that most heinous of creations. No, dear reader, do not acknowledge it! Don’t look it in the deeply disturbing eye! My secret shame, my dark past, my… Sonic The Hedgehog original character.

Before I turn to dust through embarrassment, let’s run you through last month’s PS Plus offerings. As you might have guessed from that earlier outburst,

Sonic Forces was involved in the March lineup. A to-the-point adventure with a robust character creator, Forces allowed your fast and furry creations to take the lead. In a world conquered by Eggman’s evil empire, Sonic and company were desperate for new blood to lead the charge and strike back. Sounds perfect for fulfilling a few spiky fanfic fantasies… not that we’d know anything about that!

Changing pace, last month’s headline act was Shadow Of The

Colossus. Bluepoint Games’ from-the-ground-up remake of Team Ico’s original vision is a must-have for any PlayStation fan’s game library. A lone swordsman, Wander, makes a deal with a powerful and terrible being. Alongside his horse, Agro, he must search a vast and lonely land for 16 titular colossi, and kill them. This is not a story with a happy ending… aside from the fact that we gave it a 9/10 back in OPM #146.

Talk about an odd couple! Though we suppose Plus has offered far more weird and wonderful pairings than this over the years. [ Great,nowwe’reback

tofanfiction – ed.] If you’ll excuse us, we’ve just thought of the perfect pen name for our planned 20,000 word Bayonetta-and-Dante-eat-pizza-andgenerally-have-a-nice-time-fic. It should be done, oh say, this time next month? See you then, and don’t be stingy with the pineapple on our Hawaiian!
