Yeah, I would have considered the Lego Star Wars games too. I think the reason they didn't include the Lego Star Wars and Indiana Jones games is probably because they were published by LucasArts and LucasArts no longer exists.

Probably, as these sales are set by the publishers. Also Lego Hobbit and Lego Movie weren't put on sale, probably because it's so close to release that it's not a great business idea to slash 75% off games that aren't even 6 months old. And I'm sure WB must loathe/love the fact that they publish a Marvel Lego game.
The Lego game sale on PSN this week is a bit of a joke compared to a similar sale last year when I grabbed Lego Batman 2 for $7.50. A few other Lego games were $5 then. But this week's sale, the lowest price on even older ones like Harry Potter 5-7 is $12.59 for Plus members. I could find it used on disc for much cheaper. Still, Lego LOTR for that price is tempting.
99 cent Flash Sale on the PSN this weekend. 30 different games. Some are older PSone classics, but there are a few newer titles like Tokyo Jungle, When Vikings Attack, and full series/seasons of Telltale games.
I'm going to pick up Tokyo Jungle. I highly recommend Tales of Monkey Island for a decent adventure game experience, and although I don't wish to jump the gun on my review, I'd say that Back to the Future is definitely your attention as well.
I'm definitely getting all the Telltale games I don't have yet: Sam & Max, Jurassic Park, and Tales of Monkey Island. Those are old enough that I doubt I'll ever see them offered free for Plus members. Back to the Future was what got me into these types of games in the first place. I loved the film series, and the story in the Telltale series is good enough that it could have been a fourth installment in the film franchise with some minor tweaks. Such good voice acting too, especially the guy that does Marty. Oh, then there's that actor who does the Doc Brown guy.
I'd like to buy a few of the PSone Classics for PSP but I'm not positive if they are all compatible with the Vita. I know some are but I'm not sure if it's 100%. I would buy Crash Bandicoot 1-3 if I knew for sure I could play them on the go but I don't see myself sitting down to play them on the PS3 at home. I would consider some of the other classics too.
For now, I'm just going to pick up Back to the Future, Sam and Max, and Tales of Monkey Island while I do a little more research.
1 and 2 definitely don't. On their store pages the top comments are "Please bring to the Vita!" I don't know about 3 though, but I'd assume they aren't.
Too bad. I guess it's a pass for me then. It seems like Crash would have been one of the first things ported over when they started bringing PSone classics to Vita. The article I found said they made like 300 of them compatible with the Vita and it seems like Crash should have been a priority.
Disney's A Bug's Life, Lilo & Stitch, the Little Mermaid and dozens of other kids games were clearly bigger priorities when it came to porting PSone classics to the Vita. As I scroll through the PSone games in the store from the Vita (the best way to tell which ones are available on that console), I don't even recognize 75% of the titles since I didn't start gaming until 2007. I do definitely know Crash and Spyro, however (and I actually have two of the latter's PSone games). I assume some of the reason has to do with how easily portable any given title was or perhaps licensing issues (I understand Insomniac no longer has the rights to Spyro).

There are some unconfirmed (by Sony) reports that all (or most) PSone and PSP games will now play on the Vita. Sadly, it's too late for last weekend's sale: http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/04...sp-game-downloadable-and-playable-on-ps-vita/
As someone in another forum stated: "If you have bought them on the web or on your PS3 or PSP, they now appear in your download list on the Vita. They are not in the Vita store at all, or acknowledged by Sony."
It would have been nice if that news came out a week earlier. I like how they even used crash as the cover photo for that article when that is the exact franchise I wanted to get for my Vita. At $1 a piece I would have picked up Crash 1-3 but I won't pay $5.49 for them.
I just downloaded and installed Spyro, a PSone game I bought digitally on sale a few years ago. It's not filling the screen. I wonder if there's a setting to expand it. Based on the opening instruction screens, it's running as a PSP game apparently.
Just keep an eye out now for future sales on those games. They will likely never sell for 99 cents again, but maybe at least 50% off. The crazy part is that these are all cross-buy.

Free game on Steam, but like the L4D2 deal recently, it'll be for 24 hours only. It's for Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad. It's supposed to be free TODAY but as of 9:15am EST it isn't. Perhaps it will go live at 1pm, as that seems to be the standard time sales start there.

May PS Plus IGC Line Up:
Stick It to the Man (PS4)
PES 2014 (PS3)
Puppeteer (PS3)
Skull Girls Encore (PS3)
Surge Deluxe (Vita)
Limbo (Vita)
Very excited about Puppeteer, and I've been wanting to try Stick It to the Man on PS3. Vita offerings are on the weak-side, but as one of only seven people in the gaming universe who has never played Limbo, I'm not complaining.

Puppeteer is the highlight for me too. I wanted to play it but never got to it. I don't know much about the rest of the games outside of Limbo but I already played that on my PC.
