One of the biggest perks of having a PlayStation Plus membership is the free games you get every month. They are always hand-picked by a team of experts that know what you'll want to play. The games PlayStation is offering this month include an amazing sci-Fi racer and a gritty war game. Check out the list below, start downloading these games, and enjoy them from Aug. 6 until Sept. 2, 2019.

★ Featured favorite: WipEout: Omega Collection

WipEout is a fast-paced, thrill-ride of a racing game. Set in a futuristic land and featuring gravity-defying tracks, WipEout is one of my favorite games of all time. I'm thrilled to see it as a free game on PlayStation Plus. Usually, WipEout is $20 and features all the content from WipEout HD, WipEout HD Fury, and WipEout 2048. It's also enhanced for the PlayStation 4 Pro to include 4K visuals.

★ Sniping favorite: Sniper Elite 4

Set in the Italian countryside, Sniper Elite 4 takes you inside the Italian resistance in World War II and features some fantastic combat that focuses on your skills as a marksman. No complaining about camping in this game since it's all a part of the experience! The storyline of Sniper Elite 4 is pretty good, though most of the best stuff about the game is the epic sniping mechanics. It's a lot of fun.

Which is your favorite game you've gotten for free with PlayStation Plus?

The mix of games this month is pretty good. Having a non-violent game like WipEout: Omega collection mixed with a World War II shooter like Sniper Elite 4 means there is something for everyone.

I love my PlayStation Plus account because it gives me a reason to play the games I wouldn't play without the incentive this membership provides. There have been many months where I was able to play a game full of nostalgia that I would have never thought to download otherwise. Let us know which game you've loved and which one you're excited about this month! Shoot us a Tweet over at @AndroidCentral and tell us all about it!

ASTRO Gaming A10 Headset ($60 at Amazon)

ASTRO's entry-level wired headset is one of its most compelling. You're not getting much in the way of fancy features, but you do get a solid, well-made, great-sounding headset with an inline volume remote, so you never need to take your eye off the game.
