Last year saw Sony make a dramatic change to its game streaming service, PlayStation Now, allowing subscribers to download PS2 and PS4 titles direct to their consoles. While PS3 games don't benefit from this, nearly all other games on the service can be both streamed or downloaded, and more titles are being added every month. December saw a huge update, with 50 new games added. January's update isn't quite as impressive, but there are still some games worthy of note.
As usual, the new PS Now games differ slightly in Europe and North America. Both territories are getting Arkane Studios' well received sci-fi thriller Prey and the intense Russian apocalypse horror game Metro 2033 Redux, but the list for each region is largely different. Europe, for example, is getting DiRT 4 and LocoRoco Remastered, while the US update includes Project CARS 2 and God Eater 2: Rage Burst. You can view the full lists for either Europe or North America through the respective links.

Prey is a pretty cool inclusion.
Prey would be good if I hadn't already platted it. I'm glad that anyone that hasn't already bought it will be able to play the best sci-horror RPG since SS2.
Metro on the other hand is rubbish and I'm constantly amazed at how much love the series seems to get.
I've always been tempted by Prey but not enough to get PS Now. If they actually added Portal 2 to their list then I would be on it immediately but it looks like Portal will disappear in to the mists of time...
@JohnGrey Metro has a good setting, but all the rest is just mediocre... I wonder what Arkane Studios could have done with that series since they clearly showed how great they are with sci-fi too thanks to Prey (mimics and the GLOO cannon alone are a good reason to play the game).
Nothing to see this month.
@andreoni79 Eh, the setting didn't have any charm for me, probably because, in typical Russian fashion, they took the misery and dialled it to eleven. I'm sure that fans of the series would make the typical argument, i.e. 'that's the point', but immersion shouldn't be hammered to the point of psychological exhaustion.
