Those who subscribe to the PS Plus service are eligible for the &#8220;free&#8221; titles as long as they remain subscribed.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s really nothing to complain about this month, with solid games offered to both PS3 and PS Vita platforms.<\/p>\n<p>A standout title for me is Spec Ops: The Line which I think is a very seriously underrated game. Check out my review to find out why: <a title=\"Spec Ops: The Line review (PC)\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/40200-spec-ops-the-line-review-pc.html\"><strong>Spec Ops: The Line review (PC)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Leaving PS Plus in July\/August<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>31st July: Battlefield 3<\/li>\n<li>31st July: Catherine<\/li>\n<li>31st July: Malicious<\/li>\n<li>31st July: Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus<\/li>\n<li>31st July: Unit 13<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Entering PS Plus in July\/August:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>31st July: Need for Speed: Most Wanted<\/li>\n<li>31st July: Mafia 2<\/li>\n<li>31st July: Spec Ops: The Line<\/li>\n<li>31st July: Lego Lord of the Rings<\/li>\n<li>31st July: When Vikings Attack!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Meanwhile, over in the Microsoft camp, Xbox Live Gold subscribers have just been given their second free game for July &#8211; Assassin&#8217;s Creed 2. This is on top of the contentious addition of Defense Grid: The Awakening as the first free game of July.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if you are a South African Xbox Live Gold subscriber, you weren&#8217;t even that &#8220;lucky&#8221; because Defense Grid isn&#8217;t approved for sale in the SA Live Marketplace &#8211; we got Joy Ride Turbo instead.<\/p>\n<p>So, which digital service is providing better value for money?
