The weekend is quickly approaching, and Sony is celebrating the time off with a $5 flash sale for a ton of high profile games. Chief among them are a slew of Rockstar releases, but there are just a handful of great additions all around:

  • Grand Theft Auto IV
  • Red Dead Redemption
  • Max Payne 3
  • LA Noire
  • Midnight Club: LA Complete
  • Bioshock
  • Bioshock 2
  • Guacamelee (PS3/PSV)
  • Darksiders
  • Arcania: Gothic 4
  • Fat Princess
  • Datura
  • Duke Nukem Forever
  • The Raven - Master of a Legacy Thief
  • MX vs. ATV: Alive
  • Red Faction: Armageddon
  • Spec-Ops: The Line
  • Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
  • Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days
  • Mini Ninjas
  • The Mark of Kri

Of these lesser-known games, definitely pick up Mini Ninjas and The Mark of Kri, as they're each fantastic. I've played 90% of these games, and the only one I can safely say is skippable is Duke Nukem, with MX vs. ATV not really being needed either. All of the older top-level games are worth owning if you don't have them yet, and you might even want to have a digital backup in some cases since they're only $5 so you're not really out much.
