God of War HD, Uncharted 3 MP free for PlayStation Plus members today

PS2 horse racing game G1 Jockey 4 back from the dead as well!

It's another good week to be a PlayStation Plus subscriber. Today you get God of War HD for free and the multiplayer portion of Uncharted 3 for free.

Plus subscribers can also buy the downloadable version of Far Cry 3, which is brilliant, for £36, which isn't bad.

God of War HD is the original God of War for PS2 remastered with 720p visuals and Trophy support. Requires a considerable 9.09GB hard-drive space, though.

Its arrival is timely, what with God of War: Ascension around the corner and a demo of it out today as well.

"G1 Jockey 4 puhhh-leeeease."

Uncharted 3 has been hacked up into its components for sale separately on the PlayStation Store - the sort of shape I imagine many games will come in in the future.

The single-player campaign costs £20, a co-op playlist £7.30 and a co-op arena playlist £6.50. Competitive multiplayer with no limits costs £12. Multiplayer with a level-25 limit costs £3.20, multiplayer split-screen costs £1.20 and all multiplayer map packs cost £16.

Skyrim vampire DLC Dawnguard arrives on PS3 today as well for €8 (doesn't say in paaaands). That's half-price; usually it's €17.

But if you're in the market for something different today - something very different - then why not try a spot of horse racing? Yes, the bizarro PlayStation 2 game G1 Jockey 4 is up for grabs for £8. For me it's the... mane attraction.

Neigh.
