If you like puzzle/action platformers, Trine 1 & 2 for $5 each is a steal!

TheKing

Yeah, I grabbed Trine 1 for the PS4, since 2 was on Plus last year. I've already platted both on the PS3. Good games, though I hear 2 on the PS4 is a very tough platinum this time around.

If you didn't get Stealth Inc before this definitive version is the way to go. The character is much easier to see and the game has 33% more levels -- in fact even if you finished the original it's probably worth $3.75 just for the extra DLC levels here. Ditto Retro City Rampage DX. They've made a lot of smart little changes here in this Triple-Cross-Buy version that convinced me to upgrade for this $3.75 price.

Beyond Good & Evil and Rayman Origins are two of my favorite games so I picked both those up even though I've already played them multiple times and probably won't play them again for a very long time. Also picked up Switch Galaxy Ultra.

I've tried Trine 1 & 2 multiple times since they are games that seem like they would be right up my alley but I've come to the conclusion that I really don't like Trine.

Decker

I like Trine, but don't really think I need to rebuy the first game on the PS4 when I've barely touched the sequel on that platform yet.

Grabbed Batman Blackgate. I've been waiting for this one to go on sale and/or PS+ if it wasn't already on it. Figured $5 is too good to pass up. Will get Dante's Inferno for $3. On the fence for Xcom Enemy Within for $8. Have it on Steam and haven't touched it yet plus I have Enemy Within when it was a Plus freebie.

I only had $8 left so I purchased Trine 2 based on the video. Thanks!

Decker

I just bought and played a few minutes of Switch Galaxy Ultra. While it's certainly not great, for under $5 and Cross Buy, Cross Save, it's not at all bad. Looks like Wipeout and plays like a couple of minigames in Ratchet and Clank.

Not to be overly critical, as I can see it being mildly entertaining, but it looks like it should be a cellphone game.

Decker

I think it originally was one actually.

Gooter

Oddworld New n' Tasty is free for PS3 and Vita if you grabbed it for PS4 when it was free on Plus.

Oddworld

Nice. I had mentioned here before that the developers had said they wouldn't be doing that. Glad to see they've changed their mind since I think this game (far more so than Stranger's Wrath HD) is well suited to the Vita for some pick-up-and-play gaming.

XavierMike

Tanks for posting. I agree with Decker. It seems like a great fit on Vita.

Jcheckel

Looks like the same thing that happened with Resogun happened here. If you got it as free with plus, you can go to the PS4 page and add the free copy to your cart and it gets rid of the expiration date on he game.

Broken Age (aka Double Fine Adventure) is coming to PS4 & PS Vita tomorrow (Cross-Buy). Will be $24.99 and 30% off ($17.49) with PS Plus.

starseed1981

Full game?

Decker

Yup. Same day as the LONG-gestating PC version.

starseed1981

Thanks. I've heard really polarizing things about it so I think I'll be in..........at the $9.99 mark.

Decker

Thankfully those crappy Spring Fever weeks are behind us. Time for a good sale at last.

Golden Week Sale (Japanese Games)

May the 4th Sale (Star Wars Pinball Packs are 65% off! GO! GO! GO!)

Will update with the (gigantic) full list when the Blog gets updated. Have my eye on the Curry God Vita game for $6...

Decker

... And then there's this game : AKIBA'S TRIP : Undead and Undressed - on sale for the PS3, PS Vita and PS4 (no cross-buy) It looks.....interesting. Different, that's for sure.

How does it work with the pinball to do cross buy? Like if I buy one of the packs on Vita do I get it for PS3 and PS4, and does it matter if I get the one that begins Star Wars Pinball or Zen Pinball?

Decker

Buy the PS3 or the PS Vita version, you'll then get the PS4 version for Free after the purchase.

Doesn't matter which version you get - Zen Pinball 2 or Star Wars Pinball. It's the same and they all unlock at once : You'll get eight items in your download list for every table pack, Demo and Unlock codes for PS3 and Vita for both ZP2 and SW Pinball. Then the PS4 version will show as free and you can buy that version next.

cleaver

Thanks, got the one with 4 tables, might get the one with 3 tables too.

There is a free Milennium Falcon PS4 static theme available as well.

How are the pinball games on the Vita?

Decker

My Vita is a portable pinball machine, that is all. Actually it's more than that, but it's primarily a portable pinball machine simulator. The tables are all great. Nothing beats playing a quick table on the go when you have a couple of minutes to waste.
I've spent $30 on all those Star Wars tables you all can get for less than $10 total and I don't regret it at all. The SW tables are almost all great and mostly well voiced with reasonable sound-alikes (whoever voices the Mark Hamill lines excluded).
