Dead or Alive 5 is one of the few games that can actually compete with the Tekken series when it comes to 3D fighters. Featuring a range of game modes, the game picks up two years after the destruction of the tri-tower—the headquarters and symbol of DOATEC. Helena Douglas has begun the task of rebuilding DOATEC, this time with the aim of using its technology for peaceful ends. Now in the same position once held by her father, Helena has announced that she intends to hold the fifth Dead or Alive tournament.

Grab it on PlayStation Plus on March 6.

The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection brings the classic Metal Gear Solid games—MGS 2: Sons of Liberty and MGS 3: Subsistence—to the PlayStation Vita. Play as Solid Snake, Raiden and Naked Snake as you take on bipedal tanks called Metal Gears, explore the origins of Metal Gears and discover the true threat of the Patriots and their S3 plan. This collection will be sneaking into PlayStation Plus on March 13.

It’s coming to PlayStation Plus on March 20.
