FYI, this story is more than a year old

Sony has today announced the November line-up for PlayStation Plus members, including a stellar line-up of action games.

Titles include Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and Remember Me for PlayStation 3 as well as Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD and MotorStorm RC for PlayStationVita (PS Vita) - all coming to the service on October 23.

In the action title Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, you will take control of Raiden, a cyborg ninja and use his High-Frequency Blade to cut through virtually anything.

Feel the power of full 360-degree blade control and experience a new kind of Metal Gear game, available on PS Plus until November 26.

Also available for PS3 in November is the 3rd person action adventure Remember Me, where players take on the role of Nilin, a former elite memory hunter with the ability to break into people’s minds and tamper with their memories. Put your skills to the test in this fast paced journey, available until January 28.

For those who love to game on-the-go, Sony says grab your PS Vita and explore the dusty, undeveloped wastelands of Western Mudos in Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD, where the cantankerous townsfolk find their settlements besieged by belligerent outlaws.

Meet Stranger, a tall, dark and enigmatic bounty hunter with a mission to capture troublemakers and return them to civilized townships for incarceration. This unpredictable adventure will take you on a wild ride, available until November 26.

From nippy Superminis to sleek Supercars, customise a collection of remote control vehicles from different classes in the epic racer MotorStorm RC. Take part in a series of events in the re-scaled MotorStorm Festival and compete to win medals, break records and unlock more tracks and vehicles. Show off your results to friends and rivals and challenge them to beat your times by competing on either PS3 or PS Vita via cross-platform play.

PS3 players can enjoy supreme gameplay with four-way split-screen multiplayer races and both PS3 and PS Vita players can head to the Playground for some freestyle fun. Send your vehicles zipping over ramps, across a sports field and around a skate park in this dream multiplatform hit, available to enjoy until November 26.

But Sony says that’s not all Vita lovers...

If you purchase PS Vita system and link it to you Sony Entertainment Network account from October 21 until December 31, you will receive an email with a voucher code for a whole month’s PlayStation Plus membership at no extra cost.

That means access to an Instant Game Collection, exclusive PlayStationStore discounts, cloud storage and much more.

And with the impending launch of PlayStation 4, the great news for existing PlayStation Plus members is that your membership will automatically cover PS4 as well as PS3 and PS Vita, including access to immersive PS4 online multiplayer.
