PICK OF THE LEGO
Batman 3 and City Undercover
made our 100, but here are
three more Lego games to try

Star Wars: The
Complete Saga
Can’t wait for the
new Lego Star
Wars saga? Need
a Star Wars fix? Then this
combination of Lego Star Wars:
The Video Game and its sequel
Lego Star Wars II: The Original
Trilogy is your medicine. Drink in
its Lego metal bikini Leia and
bathe in the cheeky approach to
Attack Of The Clones.

Lego Pirates Of The
Caribbean: The
Video Game
Pretend it’s
2011 and this
film franchise is the biggest
thing since The Matrix with
this collection of Lego levels
based on the first four films
in the Pirates series. There’s
no innovation, but by this point
TT Games had got its stud-
collecting fun down to a fine art.

Lego Harry Potter:
Years 1-7
Split across two
games, Years 1-4
and Years 5-7, this
time TT Games adapts the first
four films and final three books
of the wizarding franchise.
Some subtle changes surprise,
such as Hogwarts acting as a
large explorable hub and the
option to customise some levels.

It’s been a tough
balancing act
putting this list
together and
trying to find an
even keel between
ranking PS Now’s best games,
their editions, and value to
stream. But what has been
fun is discovering some lost
gems and oddities – whether
that’s dipping back into the
Nolan North-voiced Dark Void,
enjoying the retro fun of the
PixelJunk series, or the weird
racing mash-up of Split/Second
Velocity. That said there are
some clear omissions. Where’s
SSX Tricky or Resident Evils
1-4? I’d also love to see some
of PS3’s curiosities make it to
the service, like time-travelling
shooter Singularity.

The sprawl of PS3’s Grand
Theft Auto was fantastic,
but on PS4, remastered and
with a slew of gameplay
refinements, this edition was
like playing a fresh game.
The first-person mode
makes the world of GTA feel raw and alive.

But behind the tweaks and visual makeover
it’s the same stunning game: three
characters to drop in and out of in one of
videogaming’s best-realised worlds: a city of
the sun-seasoned skyscrapers, ocean-front
vistas, desert, and mountain expanse. On PS
Now it’s available until January to stream or
download. So what are you waiting for?
