-Sponsored by PlayStation Store- My digital collection of software has grown over the years thanks to the way digital libraries allow you to keep a lot of shelf space clear. In fact, a lot of the physical copies of games that I’ve received or bought over the years have left. I don’t have to worry about finding a disc or a cartridge when all of the games I own can be accessed from a hard drive or a console itself. To that end, we’re going to look at several games from across the PlayStation spectrum that will make for fantastic gifts or just reason enough to spend that gift card you’ve been sitting on since last year. Between PlayStation Now, PlayStation TV, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita, you won’t have trouble actually finding a piece of hardware to play a PlayStation game on, though you may struggle to make it through every game we have listed here. If you’ve got your own suggestions, be sure to share them in the comments. PlayStation Plus I know we said that this would be a list of games to buy on the PlayStation Store, but in truth PlayStation Plus presents the best value for any gamer looking to get started with digital gaming and unwilling to fully commit to getting rid of all their discs and game boxes. PlayStation Plus lets you start the collection and play online games on PlayStation 4, though you’ll inevitably find something to love in the list below too. Just consider how much you play your PlayStation console before committing to years of PlayStation Plus service. LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham [Game Page] [Sony Entertainment Network]
PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita The latest LEGO Batman game sends players back to miniaturized Gotham where they’ll use the caped crusader and friends to fight on the side of justice, darkness, the night, and also anyone who says they’ll help take down Clayface because that villain is justhellip; the worst. All of the LEGO games look fantastic on PlayStation 4, but we recommend the latest Batman game for PlayStation Vita in order to get you a few more games-on-the-go. Retro City Rampage DX [Review] [Sony Entertainment Network]
PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita Featuring some old-school gameplay, graphics, music, and style, Retro City Rampage DX will give you either hours of the nostalgia grips or drive you crazy as you wait for the bus. With destruction-minded gameplay loops providing bursts of fast action, you’ll likely find that the story is just as distracting as everything in the game world. With tons of references to action movies and older video games, fans of 80s and 90s era gaming will find a lot to love here. Freedom Wars [Review] [Sony Entertainment Network]
PlayStation Vita This Japanese-styled action game actually puts you in jail, sets your sentence for over a million years, and then tasks players with surviving missions against huge bosses or succeeding in missions where they’ll have to rescue their fellow prisoners. Freedom Wars features Japanese voiceover with English text and a huge cast of characters. Further, the game offers up plenty of online multiplayer so PlayStation Vita owners can either band together over Adhoc wireless connections or their own Internet connections. Myst [Game Page] [Sony Entertainment Network]
PSOne Classic PlayStation 4 gamers who find themselves looking forward to the platforms extensive range of independently developed software should look to this classic available via the PSOne Classics selections available via the Playstation Store. In fact, if you’ve never played Myst before, you may be delighted to find that it shares gameplay with The Witness, an upcoming PS4 indie from Jonathan Blow. Final Fantasy VI [Game Page] [Sony Entertainment Network]
PSOne Classic See how it all started for this venerable and beloved Japanese role-playing game franchise. Well, it’s not exactly the very beginning of Final Fantasy, though Final Fantasy VI does approach the kind of graphics and story-telling through gameplay that eventually comes to define the series through Playstation 3 and into the next-generation of console hardware in PlayStation 4. Gex [Review] [Sony Entertainment Network]
PSOne Classic If you’re missing out on the 90s attitude that fueled things like schoolyard competitions as to who could pronounce Sega in the most bad ass way imaginable, then you need to download Gex for any of your PlayStation devices right away. I mean, this freaking lizard has sunglasses on. Not even the Geico gecko can pull off this incredibly powerful statement of uncaring, rebel-yell, rad-ness. LittleBigPlanet 3 [Preview] [Sony Entertainment Network]
PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 Media Molecule and Sony have delighted millions of fans with both original level and art designs in conjunction with the ability to readily create your own levels and challenges for online players around the world. With LittleBigPlanet 3, the creative minds behind Sack Boy and company hope to challenge players to consider multiple characters each equipped with their own special platforming abilities. Both players and creators will have to play and design around unique new Sack-friends in the third iteration of the franchise for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. Assassin’s Creed Rogue [Preview] [Sony Entertainment Network]
PlayStation 3 If you hope to continue the Assassin’s Creed story without a new-generation console, look to Assassin’s Creed Rogue for a tale of redemption and the bloody shores that decorated the eastern seaboard centuries before the present day. Assassin’s Creed Rogue actually centers around the first opportunity players have had to become Templars tasked with hunting down remaining Assassin forces. Tiny Troopers Joint Ops [Review] [Sony Entertainment Network]
PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita Looking to break up the blockbuster gaming on your PlayStation hardware? Look no further than Tiny Troopers Joint Ops, which gives the arm-chair generals out there a view of combat they’ve unlikely seen or heard of before. Consider trench warfare’s starkly deadly strategies and offenses. Now consider give your Tiny Troopers a few grenades to lob at the machine gun nest and you’ll find they get the job done quick. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel [Review] [Sony Entertainment Network]
PlayStation 3 It’s not hard to find a lot of your favorite brands carrying through the 2014 holiday season with new extensions or pre-quels to the stories you’ve already played through. That’s certainly true of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel which challenges players with taking on the moon itself. At least, Claptrap would have it that way in his first playable appearance in the Borderlands franchise, but I’d expect all the guns will keep them occupied too. Dragon Age: Inquisition [Review] [Sony Entertainment Network]
PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 One of our favorite gaming franchises continues with the Inquisition, an investigation looking to discover the killer of the divine, an event which has shaken Thedas, the game world, to its core. Whether you’re new to the series or not, you’ll find that no time is wasted between the divine’s death and the beginning of your adventure into the unknown regions that almost seem to get bigger and bigger as you go. While Dragon Age: Inquisition does feature a segmented world, most gamers will find that the Skyhold castle you get to customize in-game becomes a steady home base. Just be prepared to dedicated as much as 60 hours to completing your hero’s story. The Wolf Among Us: Season One [Review] [Sony Entertainment Network]
PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita When the developers behind The Walking Dead: Season One announced that they’d be working within the Fables comics brand, I think a lot of gamers wondered exactly what a big bad wolf would look like. Knowing the truth behind a dark and grisly murder only seems to lead to more questions from episode to episode and to that end, I recommend playing through the entire season now that it’s been gathered both digitally and at retail. Lords of the Fallen [Review] [Sony Entertainment Network]
PlayStation 4 While Dark Souls II delivered a hardcore and extremely challenging action role-playing game to consumers earlier this year, Lords of the Fallen continues the genre’s trending towards difficulty and an extreme sense of reward. Further, players may get a kick out of the title’s extremely gothic, haunting atmosphere and character design. Just be wary of the fact that you’ll die more than a few times if you can’t grasp the combat controls and inch forward with determination.

CheatCC says - "The Vita seemed like it was reaching for the stars when Sony first released the console a few years ago. The 3DS, despite suffering from a slow start, had built a lot of momentum and became another Nintendo handheld juggernaut. Facing stiff competition, Sony released what was essentially sold as a PS3 in your hands. Of course, we'd learn that the system wasn't quite that powerful, but still, just as they had aimed high with the PSP, Sony was going for broke all over again with the Vita."

Sony held the PlayStation Experience convention for the first time over the past weekend, using the space to announce new games, reveal new footage from highly anticipated titles, and offer fans first-grasp at new PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita indie games. In fact, I would say that independent development proved the star of the show, at least for yours truly. While it was exhilarating to see footage of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End or to learn new details regarding the atmospheric and cinematic world in The Order 1886, it should be clear to gamers that PlayStation Experience was only really for the most diehard gamers out there. On one hand, you could wander in with or without prior reservation and you didn’t need industry credentials to visit the show, but on the other hand you couldn’t expect to see any of the company’s competitors. Having a convention focused entirely on PlayStation meant that things felt a little one-note. Wandering the show floor itself, I think it became clearer to everyone attending that fan-oriented swag hand-outs and first-brush impressions of upcoming games would rule the day. That’s more than OK! Gamers are a funny bunch, aren’t they? While many consumers would be perfectly fine playing two or three games in a year, PlayStation fanatics wear their hearts on sleeves, T-shirts, or they tattoo it to themselves. What could be better than an opportunity to compare nerd credentials than a convention full of like-minded nerds? For my own peace of mind, I did my best to weave between crowds and see a lot of games I had never heard about before PlayStation Experience. Here are my impressions, ordered in no specific way, with no intended direction: How much did this thing cost? GamerGate came up once while I was sitting in a panel for TellTale Games and it was at that point that I started thinking about the insane cost of organizing and running a convention like PlayStation Experience, particularly given that the event space was a lot larger than I thought it would be. The Sands convention center offered up a large hall for the keynote, broadcasted on Twitch following The Game Awards, while the secondary hall was literally packed to the gills with various indie booths, third-party partner booths, and loads of games to play. I cannot say for certain that Sony’s investment paid off, but I can say that it’ll drive PlayStation fandom through 2015 given the way so many people wandered around happy, toting swag, and generally at peace. E3 and PAX can sometimes give off a sense of chaos and PlayStation Experience seemed to stand in opposition to this. I think part of it has to do with the way so many gamers could fit within the relatively open convention space, but a lot of it probably rides on the fact that PlayStation could not be more on-top of the gaming industry in this moment. PlayStation 4 sales remain high and mighty, despite Xbox One’s rapid approach and Nintendo’s handheld dominance. Even if the company loses money on PlayStation Experience and continues to plan for another next year, I doubt that the brand or platform has been hurt by the event. PlayStation has held firm as one of Sony’s most profitable divisions. PlayStation Panels I sat in one of the many different panels open to convention-goers and loved hearing about a game I greatly enjoyed over the past year. While I can’t say that every panel had loads of entertaining or even interesting information, I can say with confidence that some games don’t get the kind of attention they deserve at the likes of a GDC or a Penny Arcade Expo. I’ll have more to say on this particular panel in another piece later. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End I couldn’t think of a better place for Sony to show off gameplay-footage of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End after attending PlayStation Experience and seeing it for myself at the convention keynote. Taken at face value, it is embarrassing to feature a full game-crashing fall through the world’s geometry, yet the crowd could not have been more forgiving. Having a few hundred fans shouting and cheering when Nathan Drake somehow discovers that all of planet Earth is water probably didn’t hurt the reaction at home, with thousands more watching via Twitch or other streaming services. On a completely different level, I loved seeing how Naughty Dog has added to gameplay in order to make Drake’s adventures as cinematic as possible. When our hero started sliding down a mudbank, firing at enemies while progressing through the level, I immediately thought that I couldn’t wait to play. When he tried to pull an enemy off a ledge and that enemy grabbed Drake’s leg, initiating a brief quick-time event, I thought "how the hell are they going to pack that into the game and ensure it happens frequently enough to keep players on their toes?" Regardless, the brief gameplay demonstration was enough to put Uncharted 4 on my list as one of the most anticipated games of 2015. [Disclaimer: Not an indie developer, just hungry.] Indie developers hellip; are cool. All of them. I love talking with these folks because more often than not they’ve got interesting ideas that remain obscurely difficult to articulate and yethellip; I love talking about video games. Meeting scores of passionate creators in this space gives your brain a work-out because of the numerous abstractions that exist within gaming and the creation of games. In the end, it made talking to developers from DrinkBox, TicToc Games, and Candescent Games great fun. I don’t think you can actually identify another publisher that has gone out of its way to welcome independent developers to the platform in the same way PlayStation has. While many of the indies at the convention offered early-access Steam keys, meaning each title was not exclusive to PlayStation or even available on the platform just yet, it was clear that each would not be there without Sony’s help. On another level, it was clear that they were more than happy to receive the attention they did from con-crawlers who probably would never have awareness of each games. While I did feel like bigger games with long lines stole time and attention from PlayStation’s indie support, an all-indie focused booth at something like the Game Developers Conference will likely continue the publisher’s gentle grasp of that development space. Microsoft has been dragging its feet in reigniting the development scene for Xbox One and Nintendo’s indie-promotions seem more based on taste and timing than an all-out attack. Showcase more awesome game music! I stopped by the 65 Days of Static concert that closed the PlayStation Experience on Saturday night and while I didn’t stay for the entire show, I would say that video games need to pair themselves more closely with music if they want to continue dominance in the art and business world. Games offer an incredibly wide canvass for creation and I’ve always adored experiences that manage to sound as good as they look and play. When’s the next one? Sony confirmed, apparently via Twitch, that PlayStation Experience will be held once more next year. We’ll be ready!
