PlayStation Plus: Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons for Members

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons was praised by game critics last year for its successful meshing of story and gameplay. Controlling the two brothers of the story with one analog stick each can take some getting used to, but you’ll find your rhythm as you solve puzzles with the end goal of saving your ailing father.

Starting tomorrow you can get your friends together and pit your wormy soldiers against each other in Worms: Battle Island on PS Vita. The adorable franchise has remained a favorite over the years with its classic turn-based strategy gameplay. With options like dressing your worms how you want and using oddball weapons like a Holy Hand Grenade, your fights will have plenty of pizzaz.

Finally, there’s a new PS Vita PLAY sale starting with OlliOlli. If you like music and rhythm games there’s also an entire sale dedicated to titles in those genres, so check out all the discounts below.

You can download Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and Worms: Battle Islands after the PlayStation Store updates tomorrow, 1/21.

  • Nothing for me this week, sadly.

  • More games more sales! PLUS!

    Kristine, tangent— do you know if a pre-order for Tomb Raider Definitive PS4 will go up on the store tomorrow? Mainly asking because pre-orders mean we can start downloading these big games at midnight on release date instead of waiting for late afternoon store update just to start the download.

    • Sorry, the only thing I know about Tomb Raider Definitive version is that I really want to play it…not much help I’m afraid.

  • Brothers!

  • Aw yeah, OlliOlli for me. (Brothers too)

  • A response to your January lineup video Kristine..yes I have reach SSSansational. And when are you going to do the February lineup?

  • Brothers looks cool. Any chance that some Rock Band or Rocksmith DLC will be part of the music sale? I’m guessing not, but it would have been a GREAT time to discount a lot of the older stuff.

  • I was so looking forward for Brothers… I almost bought it last month, I’m glad I waited!

    Cannot wait til I can give it a try

  • I’m impatient to play with “Brothers” ! Thanks :)

  • Quiet week but Plus rules!!! Just got PS4 and connectivity with Vita is mind-blowing! Killing Helghast from my bathroom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Sony!

  • You have Everyday Shooter listed twice at $2.50 & $2.00 with no differentiation between the two.

  • PS+, the best service ever.

  • Rock Band Blitz…maybe. kickbeat ? Yes

  • Hope there are more discounts next month guys..

    Would be great to see discounts on MGS HD Collection!

  • sadly theres no Cytus Lambda its also in music genre but just on mobile hehe, i wish malicious rebirth would be on sale too.

  • It’s almost impossible for me to play Brothers with a controller. I don’t have the skills and coordination.

  • The camera angle of the game makes it painful to play using the left and right sticks. It reminds me of DMC 4. The camera angle used to bother me a lot.

  • Need more PS4 lovin! Currently addicted to Don’t Starve. Indie game is the best ps4 game atm lol. I am having trouble going back to my ps3. :( The controller feels sickly and weak in comparison to the ps4 controller. :/ Cheers! :D

  • I’m okay with PSP games being a paer of vita’s IGC, but could we get some more AAA games? A readyatdawn title would be a fantastic addition.

  • Still no news on DLNA, MP3, you tube, Friend notifications, headset support……..and it is late January. Ps4 gathering dust.

  • @8 Nice avatar! I’m also eager to play Brothers.

  • I’ve heard great things about Brothers and look forward to trying it out. I do wish that the Vita games would alternate with the PS3. Not complaining because you guys have been releasing great games for the IGC but I have read other comments where people felt the same way. Thanks PS+!

  • sweet, ps plus is pretty awesome

  • Actually excited for brothers. I almost.bought it when it came out. But I think it was single player only. Which I understand, but I’m a fan of couch co-op. Wish more games did that nowdays. Splitscreen retro style. Online is great and all. But still.

  • I think my brother and I will enjoy playing Brothers ;)

  • WHERE ARE THE PS2 CLASSICS?

  • I’ve heard so much about Brothers (good comments). I’ll finally be able to give it a try, thanks to PS+ :)

  • @23: It is single player. Not split screen. You gotta control both brothers at the same time sometimes. Be ready to move that cam and make sure to go in the right direction.

  • I’ve heard only good things about Brothers, can’t wait to download this and play through it.

  • I cannot wait to experience Brothers. Such incredible service from Plus, thank you!

  • @ #19 and theres absolutely no acknowledgment of the questions about it, its sickening to know that people loyally waited to support sony and some even came over from other companies and get treated like this in return, on top of the lack of news for games that’s supposed to be coming out soon or already, there isn’t a whole lot of time left for “early 2014” and we’re still waiting on basic information like confirmation that games are even still alive and in the process, boy oh boy, what a time to be a consumer :/

  • @1

    Brothers is a very very good game. Will only take a few hours to beat and the experience will warm your heart.

    U should at least give it a chance… IT’S FREE.

  • Finally, I can get SoundShapes, I had been waiting for it to go on sale, Lo and Behold…. There it is :D

  • @19 it’s still way too early in the PS4’s life to be complaining about those things already…

    just use it for what it was built for: GAMES. it is a GAMING system. If you want an all-in-one media hub that also plays games, get an Xbox One. But if you want a system that focuses on games first and foremost, like it should, stick with PS4.

  • i mssed the sale last time on sound shapes..looks fun. cant wait to play worms throw some sheep bombs

  • When I saw brothers “Hey Brother” from Avicii popped in my head, but I think it will just go to my download pile that I dont play, as for worms, maybe on a long trip

  • diablo 3 ftw passivefamiliar!

  • Wish i still had my ps3 to play brothers. Oh well im sure ps4 will have titles like that soon!

  • Hi Kristine! Loved the demo for Brothers, and a friend recently got me into the Worms Collection, so this is a fantastic week for me!

    Had a question: after tomorrow, there’s still 1 more Tuesday left in January. Is Smart As the last game for the month of the IGC?

    Thanks again for the wonderful service (both you and PS+). I’m a subscribed member until 2017 and have all 4 gaming devices that benefit from this (including PSP). :)

  • @33 totally disagree, it’s 2014. These things should be standard, heck the ps4 should be able to do what ps4 did. As for it’s for gaming…well there is nothing to play until march, not exactly a great lineup right now. I have higher standards, sony should have had that ready for launch along with everything else. The ps4 is selling well now, but if media gets ignored it will start falling, I know many who heavily use their ps3’s for media streaming as did i. My ps4 gathers dust.

  • @ #33 its barely even that yet, there is next to nothing in the gameing category, even less so games that actually were meant for the ps4, im not saying that youre wrong on that note, but if sony isn’t pushing out the games that were supposedly well in development and near finished, what the hell have they been doing this whole time.

  • Weren’t we getting Worms: Battle Island and Smart As… on Vita this month? Should i assume they will be out next week?

  • Sorry, didn’t see Worms up there, so i guess i’m just waiting for Smart As… ;)

  • NO PS4 LOVE BOOH!!!!!!!

  • Hey guys any upcoming PS4 digital sales? I know it’s still early but $60 for a digital download is a lot. :(

  • @33 people love to complain and cry these days over everything … No patience either everyone wants everything now

  • FInally going to see if Brothers lives up to the reviews.
    DMC is brutally awesome, and I cleaned house last week on the 14 in 14 Sale!
    Please offer us a monthly 14 in 14 sale! There were some really great deals in that!

  • AVATARS FOR PS4 PLEASEE

  • @45 oh impatience you say? over a system that’s been in development for how many years? and still isn’t done? from a company with decades of experience and billions of dollars? with millions of people supporting them? its one thing to just assume that everything was done, but its another entirely to brag about how powerful and compatible your system is and how much easier it is to get games and developers on your system, and turn around and constantly push back games that should have been done when the system was released, and on top of that, give absolutely no information on when they even plan to have anything released on said games, be it a demo or video or anything.

  • Thanks for the heads up Kristine.

    Heard so much good about Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (PS3).

    Can’t wait to give it a try this week !

  • People complaining about the PS4.

    Many of these people sold their PS3s for the PS4.

    You should have kept your PS3 while the PS4 library builds up.

    It’s normal for any new console the first year.
