Richard Mitchell — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:40:00 EST

Another week, another round of goodies of PlayStation Plus members on PSN. The biggest of this week's bonuses is a free download of Guardians of Middle Earth, a game that does a surprisingly good job of bringing the MOBA genre to consoles.

There will also be a handful of discounts on other games. Jordan Mechner's Karateka will see its price punched and kicked down to $5. Twin-stick shooter Big Sky Infinity will be $5.99 and features Cross Buy, unlocking the game on both PS3 and Vita. Finally, we have the stylish, humorous platform adventure Knytt Underground, which will be available for only $5.

PlayStation Plus members in Europe are ending 2012 in style with the addition of Batman: Arkham City, Vanquish, and Limbo to the service's Instant Game Collection. The shadowy trio all become available on December 5, while Mortal Kombat Vita steals the month's portable limelight on December 19.

Two newly launched games are also in next month's Instant Collection, both available on PS3 and Vita. The first is Big Sky Infinity, a port of Boss Baddie's PC release Really Big Sky. The luminous twin-stick shooter comes to Europe's PSN on December 12. Second up is Knytt Underground, the next chromatic platformer in Nicklas Nygren's 'Knytt' series, due on December 21.

On the get-it-while-you-still-can front, December also sees a few removals from the Euro Instant Game Collection. Crysis 2, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and Double Dragon Neon all depart on December 5, Chronovolt rolls off on December 19, and Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack rockets away on December 21. Get them before they disappear.

You can get a broad sense of what Big Sky is about by watching the trailer for the PC version above, trying the demo at the website, or checking out Really Big Sky on Steam, where it's currently on sale for $2.50.
