June's PlayStation Now Streaming Game Additions Include Samurai And Snipers
Sony has announced five more titles for its PlayStation Now streaming service, starting tomorrow. This month brings an assortment of games from a different genres and targeted to different age groups.
For the younger players in the house, Puppeteer and Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I Don't Know Why are a great fit. If you are interested in waging war, Way of the Samurai 3 and Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 give you a couple of ways to do it. Finally, time-bending puzzle platformer Braid arrives on the service.
With these additions, the PlayStation Now library includes over 125 PlayStation 3 games. The service offers a la carte, time-limited downloads or a subscription option.
Subscriptions are coming to Vita and PlayStation TV in the coming months. However, if you already have a subscription through the PlayStation 4, PS3, or an eligible Sony televsions or blu-ray player, you'll be able to access anything you rented on one of those platforms now on Vita or PS TV. Just look for games listed as "playable" instead of carrying a rental price.

Our Take
I'm not sure what it would take to get me to pay for a PlayStation Now subscription. Perhaps I'll get the itch to play something in my PS3 backlog on my Vita in bed. That would certainly be motivation, but the library needs to get a big more substantial before I get to that point.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
