US PlayStation Store Update for June 5th: PS Plus freebies galore, Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, Sorcery demo

This week’s PlayStation Store update does a fantastic job of getting you into the spirit of E3 by offering a ton of new trailers from the Expo along with a well-timed sale on the Sly Cooper series.

Of course, the main highlight this week is the twelve games being offered to PlayStation Plus subscribers free of charge. Some of the must-have titles on the list include inFAMOUS 2, Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown (a new release priced at $14.99) and LittleBigPlanet 2. Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is also great fun if you have a co-op buddy to play it with. Head over here to read more about what PS Plus members can expect in the coming months.

There’s also a demo for Sorcery to check out it you have a PlayStation Move. It’s one of the best games I’ve played using the peripheral so far so don’t miss out on the opportunity to experience it for yourself.
