PlayStation Plus members can now enjoy the games Sony has reserved for them for this month of August. "Yakuza 5," which has been accidentally leaked last month, is now available officially. Several other games are included to be enjoyed by gamers for the several gaming consoles of the Japanese tech giant.

For the PlayStation 4, "Tricky Towers" and "Rebel Galaxy" are available. "Tricky Towers" may look like "Tetris," but it is not. The goal for the game is to create a tall tower building, which abides by the laws of physics. "Rebel Galaxy" is a space combat and exploration game, which allow its players to finish the main quest whenever they want or simply go rogue and do whatever they want. They can travel through space, blow up enemies, go bounty hunting or hijack freight ships. It is a good game for sci-fi fans.

PlayStation 3 console owners can enjoy "Yakuza 5" and "Retro/Grade." Similar to the style of "Grand Theft Auto," "Yakuza 5" is all about the Japanese criminal underworld. It is an open-world game, so players can do whatever they like, from taking up the missions, doing some side quest, or just annihilate their opponents. "Retro/Grade" lets the gamers control a ship, and "unfire" the blasters while also evading enemy fire. It is a space shooter game in reverse.

"Patapon 3" is for the PlayStation Vita, and is a rhythm-based game. Gamers get to order various commands to their minions in time with the beat of the soundtrack.

Lastly, "Ultraton" is also for the PlayStation Vita but can also be played on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. The game is a retro-inspired twin-stick shooting game, and players need to stay alive from waves after waves of enemies attacking from all sides.

Meanwhile, PlayStationLifestyle reported that members in Europe are having "Retro/Grade" for the second time around. The PlayStation.Blog Europe is full of comments about this particular game, though nothing has been changed so far.

Hiowever, Rhys Sutheran of Sony has replied to the fans, assuring that they have forwarded the issue directly to the concerned department.

Sutheran said, "Hi everyone. We're keenly aware that you've had a lot to say regarding PS Plus this month – we've read all the comments and have passed your feedback directly to the PS Plus team."
