PlayStation Plus Members Get Free Darksiders Download

Starting tomorrow, PlayStation Plus members will be able to download Vigil Games' Darksiders for free. If you plan on staying up to start your download, be warned, it won't be available until the PSN Update hits. I recommend going to bed and dreaming about riding into the apocalypse rather than waiting for it to arrive on your PlayStation 3.

Sony kicked off 2013 with free downloads of NBA Jam: On Fire Edition, as well as Mega Man 9 and 10 (all three are still available as of this writing). Starting tomorrow, Star Drone will also be half-price, costing just $2.

  • i will be downloading this and waiting for the borderlands 2 dlc to go up, if its not up by the time i get home.... i cant wait! tomorrow will be amazing!
  • I want Plus. I dont have it and I think it would be a great feature to have.
  • Mega Man 9 & 10?! Oh man I can't wait to snap my controller in half in gleeful frustration. I hope they're still available tomorrow. Thanks for the heads-up Reiner!
  • I keep resisting signing up for Plus but Sony is making it so hard. They just keep throwing great free games at you week after week.
  • To quote Yathzee: "War: The monster truck that walks like a man". Darksiders, my favorite franchise. EVER.
  • I remember liking the demo but not enough to buy it at retail. I will definitely be downloading this one.

  • I don't have a PS3, but as an long time Xbox Live customer, I can't help but feel that PSN has better benefits. I've seen the list of stuff that PSN+ members get, it's awesome. I mostly play on PC now, so I get awesome discounts anyway, but PSN+ is probably the next best thing. Still, Darksiders isn't much of an incentive to me. The game wasn't bad, but it didn't particularly stand out to me either. It is worth a rental, but I wouldn't have been upset if I didn't get to watch it.
  • And people still dis plus :(
  • Eh I want some newer stuff like they where doing late last year this is nice though.
  • Excellent I say, since I am yet to play Darksiders and now I can! so epic.
  • Never bothered to be a Playstation Plus member, so no free thing for me.

  • Woot so sweet

  • Great deals! I really like how you don't lose much not subscribing to Plus, but if you do, it easily pays for itself after a month.

  • Wouldn't mind playing this again. Love the free games from PS Plus.

  • If I hadn't beaten this game (for the second time) just a few short months ago I would definitely be downloading this. Too bad the second one was such a waste of time. Still though, I'd recommend part one to fans of both god of war and the N64 Zelda games. It's a solid combination of those two franchises.
  • How long till Micro$oft learns to follow, that's right never. Not to mention there gamer score reward program is rubbish. At least Sony is still moving in a great direction and I still highly encourage play station plus if you don't have it. My hard drive is full of free games from them.

  • I read this on the PlayStation Blog this morning and had a big smile on my face. ^_^

  • I swear Playstation Plus has the best deals on games...Way better than Xbox
  • never played it, downloading now... i just hate my ps3 controller though... more of a fan of the xbox controller layout.
  • Niccce.
