I've recently joined PlayStation Plus, therefore I'm actually paying attention to the monthly deals. This April looks incredible. Members of Sony's premium service have all sorts of downloadable goodness heading their way. Fans of shooters will be granted early access to the Ghost Recon Future Soldier beta. Action game aficionados will get Shank 2 for FREE. Racing fans will be able to pick up Shift 2: Unleashed for the low, low price of zero dollars. There's a little something for everyone.
Plus members will see an assortment of games, avatars, themes, minis, and full game trials. Notable co-op games available for the trial treatment include Saints Row: The Third, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, and The Cursed Crusade. There's even an early demo for House of the Dead 4, so I can finally use my PS Move Shooting Attachments. Oh, happy day!
We don't have an exact date for the Ghost Recon Future Soldier beta, but we'll keep you posted. All of the other features have been dated below, so adjust your calendars accordingly.
