Mister Mosquito is coming back as part of September’s PlayStation Plus update

I always have one eye on the classics that get added to the PlayStation Plus Catalog lineup. There are some eclectic choices that come up, and that’s what I’m always hungry for. This month, there’s a game you should try. Mister Mosquito is peak ‘00s weirdness.

It’s a pretty cool month. Not that I’m subscribed to Extra or Premium, but if you are, there’s some cool stuff. Plucky Squire is a pretty exciting upcoming title and Night in the Woods is pretty boss (so I’ve heard). I’ll give you the full list from Sony’s blog in just a minute, but first, let’s talk about Mr. Mosquito.

Actually, I did a full write-up of Mister Mosquito. Is it a good game? Not really. However, it’s an interesting and unique game, which makes it worth playing. You take the role of a mosquito that has to harass a family until they all suffer a catastrophic mental breakdown. I can really relate to that. It’s the sort of weird concept that was more common back before publishers learned that the only way to make enough money to feed their super-yacht addictions is to put a dude with a gun on the cover.

You’ve also got Skygunner, a decent 2001 on-rails shooter from back when those were still a thing. There’s also Secret Agent Clank from the days when there was far too much Ratchet & Clank.

Now I will paste… No, wait, they formatted this in a very unpaste-able way. I’m going to have to go through this individually. Okay, well, here’s the list:
