Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

They had the first Infamous free last year for Plus members. I had no interest in it either but I picked it up anyway cuz I figured "why not? it's free."

I'm very glad I did because it's actually pretty damn good... and Infamous 2 is even better. Of all the free stuff they've been giving away lately, Infamous 2 was by far the best in my opinion. After I finished it, I bought Infamous: Festival of Blood just because I couldn't get enough of it. Such a good series.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

I owned Infamous 1, bored me to tears (literally, those yawning "holy shit I'm bored" tears). Open World just isn't for me, generally speaking.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

No they didn't. You got it free as part of the "Welcome Back" package they gave to every PSN member after their month-long outage in the Summer of 2011. I got it too.

I agree. It's a really fun game. Just entertaining, for hours and hours. Too bad the previous poster missed out on Just Cause 2, because I think that one is a blast as well. Playstation Plus is SO worth it. I'm always shocked when I see people complaining about what they get. I played some of Starhawk Single Player last night and quite enjoyed it. I might very well pick up the multiplayer if they decide to put it on sale sometime.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

I forget about that. Regardless of how I got, the point was it something I had no interest in beforehand and ended up enjoying it quite a bit. I guess it doesn't matter now since the OP has since stated that he thought it was a yawnfest :lol:

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

Free Full game for Playstation Plus tomorrow : King of Fighters XIII. I hear it's good, so I'm happy with this one. Another free game apparently coming next week as well

Note : For those really into KoF13, the DLC add-on content will be 50% off for everyone and an additional 30% off for PS Plus members.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

Has anyone played the Alex Kidd game? I know it's originally $5, on sale for 1. Was it worth it at 5?

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

It's very old and simplistic. One of those difficult frustrating platformers. I didn't like it at all. But it's only a buck, so it's not a big deal. Still if you don't have a lot of nostalgia for old platformers, skip it.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

Thanks. Did not get it.

Store has updated now with Machinarium (which people tell me is fantastic) and Retro City Rampage. I was hoping they would both get the Plus discount so I could work my way towards the 100 for the month, but they didn't. (I did get Tokyo Jungle last week, so I'm $12 on my way.)

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

I'm still getting RCR since it looks really fun and is a Cross-Buy, Cross-Save game and I want to support those (as well as get to $100 by Halloween).

I have Machinarium for the PC. I think it was in an indie bundle at some time. Anyway, it's a cute point & click game, but I certainly wouldn't go so far as "fantastic".

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

This week's Playstation Plus freebie is Payday : The Heist. I already have that one, but more players are always welcome. They also have one week early access to The Unfinished Swan, but no discount, unfortunately.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

Heads-Up : Tomorrow (Monday) is the last day to buy the Sega Classic game Monster World IV for $1 on PS Plus. I was totally unfamiliar with the series, but the game is really cool with srot of an old-school Zelda feel to it. Well worth the buck it costs.

I also hear great things about the PS2 RPG game for sale on PSN : Odin Sphere. It's on sale for everyone for $5. I haven't played it yet, but I picked it up anyway.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

Does anyone know what's the regular price for Odin Sphere?

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

I think I still have Odin Sphere on disc. :lol:

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

Me too, and most likely unopened. :)

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

I think it's usually $10 in the PSN store.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

I really had zero interest in When Vikings Attack. It seemed way too simplistic to get excited about. But some reviews are trickling out and most people really seem to love it, especially with multiplayer. I think for a mere $7, I might pick it up to play on the Vita and against my kids on the TV. It still doesn't look like much, but maybe it's just one of those games you have to actually play in order to "get it".

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

Yeah, I'm the same way. Didn't even really think about it, but things keep popping up about it.

Still waiting to see what the Vita plus is gonna look like this month.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

Uggh Te all new PlayStation Store sucks. I don't like the interface and I couldn't figure out how to download stuff in the background. GRRRRRRRRRR

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

It's not great, too many clicks to get a free game to download. And all those clicks now come with irritating sounds, which is fantastic. I could get stuff to download in the background, though. That part didn't seem any different to me.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

Tried it again after your post and it now allows background downloads. But it is still annoying.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

I have a code up for grabs for 3 on 3 NHL Arcade on PSN. If anyone is interested, PM me. I would like to offer to long time regulars first, of course.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

ygpm. I'd enjoy it if it's still available.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

According to the PS Blog, Quantum Conundrum is free for Plus starting tomorrow. And Machinarium is 30% off starting tomorrow (so 6.99).

Plus for Vita news is still incoming at some point.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

Nice. A game that I don't have yet (well, except on the PC, but barely played it there). There was a "Guess the free game" contest at CAG and a lot of folks guessed Quantum Conundrum, so I assume it was free for Plus already in Europe or something.
