The First Game You Should Play On PlayStation Plus Premium Is The One You've Never Heard Of

Sony has revealed the first batch of games coming to PlayStation Plus Premium, and it's pretty dang okay.

When it's a fresh experience, especially one that's essentially free, that's less of a factor, but when it's an old game you've
