PSN Tuesday: NFL Blitz, TNT Racers and Darksiders

As we inch closer to the biggest commercial showcase NFL game of the year, fans of pigskin ovals can whet their appetites for the big day with NFL Blitz, which brings nostalgic arcade goodness to PSN. Last year's cartoonish, over-the-top XBLA racer TNT Racers also makes its PlayStation debut today, just 11 months after the port was originally announced for the first quarter of 2011.

@Knives Chau Because copying and pasting someone else's blog post to your own blog is pretty tacky, especially when your blog makes ad revenue like this one. It's probably not really worth the trouble for Joystiq to do their own list when an entire more accurate list can just be linked to.
But it's convenient to see it in the comment section anyway. Saves me a clickthrough. :P

It's no trouble to include the list. Besides, isn't this put out by PSN blog, and isn't that run by Sony directly? I know they'd want the word spread as much as possible, rather than having the list replaced by a link.
Besides, almost all other videogame blogs out there do it. It just looks lazy.

Meh. If I still had Resistance 3 I would get those DLC's but the online for that game is dead so I sold it. Other then that another pretty boring update.

i never really got into it honestly. i consider myself a fan of the series but 3 as a whole didn't really wow like i thought it would. i loved the direction they took it in but it just didn't have anything to get me hooked, and like you said, the multiplayer was pretty forgettable. i had a ton more fun with KZ3.

@SoCoolCurt Yea I wasn't wowed by the game either. I liked the online, it was just damn near impossible to get into a match most of the time. And I didn't like the textures they used for the humans. It made them look like clay. As far as Killzone 3... don't get me started. That game was terrible in both the campaign and multiplayer. The fact that they took out class combinations and the ability to make your own games was bad enough, but then they took out the weight of the guns and it just wasn't enjoyable for me. This is coming from someone who invested a lot of time in Killzone 2's multiplayer

I know some people won't agree but PlayStation Plus has been worth every dime and more to me. The amount of free stuff and discounted games in staggering.

i enjoyed the free trial but i just don't feel like i play enough anymore to justify the money. the amount of free stuff and extra features do look pretty awesome though. i'll probably break down eventually though since i feel like if i want any new features for my PS3, i pretty much have to have PSPlus at this point.

@Matrixxxx I've only been a member for 2 months so far and I feel like I get WAY more out of the money I spend on PS+ than I do out of XBL. That said, there are good things and bad things about each service. It's nice to have them both.

What I like most is the discounts cause I have saved lots of money compared to paying full price and plus you have the free content that Sony gives away every month. I like how they gave away BTTF for free which I bought last year for $13 when it was on sale but it's nice for those who didn't want to pay the $20 for it or been on the fence about picking it up.

eh I've had PS+ since the very beginning but i haven't found much use for it except for maybe the 2 crash games i didn't own, critter crunch, and the Alice madness returns trial ( which confirms that i defiantly need to make some time and buy that awesome game! :D Gothic Alice ftw lol). I'll renew my subscription which just recently expired once they have something that wows me. like maybe give me FF8 or 9 for free :3 or idk some cool psn games. the pinball game they recently had really disappointed me lol c'mon pinball, seriously?
