Re: Official PSN Games Thread
oh right! I was thinking that when they announce it, you can get it now.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
I know it's not on sale until next week, but would anyone recommend New Little King's Story, especially for under $10?

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
So did anyone else check out this week's freebie, Runner 2? I usually loathe eternal runner games or whatever the genre is called so I didn't even check out the demo -- despite a great review in Joystiq. Anyway, with it free, I gave it a shot. It's actually pretty fun and looks beautiful for a simple game like that. It has a gorgeous art style and a wacky sense of humor. There's no way in hell I would have spent $15 on something this simple, but going free, it turns out to be a really nice game. What a pleasant surprise.

There it is! Thanks for keeping us updated.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
Star Wars Pinball: I'm not crazy about Zen's physics compared to the guys who did the Williams collection, but I do love pinball. :up:
Runner 2: I actually like endless runners, as they are one of the few genres that actually "work" on my phone. This is the first one I've played with real buttons, and I thought it was fun. Agree that it isn't worth full price though. Divekick looks interesting. I left fighters for the same reason I left football games...overly complicated. |
Re: Official PSN Games Thread
There's another sale further down on the blog.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
I was thinking of pre-ordering GTA V on PSN. For those that have done this for other games, if you do a pre-load does the game unlock at midnight or do you have to wait till the psn update to go into effect?

But you won't get it at midnight, it'll be more like 2 or 3 PM Pacific. Also remember that you'll need double the hard drive space in order to download and install. So if the download is 18 gigs, you'll actually need 36 gigs free to install it. |

You get the game when the store updates. Basically what the pre-order does is that it takes your money early, and then when it's available on the store it'll come up as a free download for you.

It's just right now, you're basically downloading a zip file, and then you have to unzip it. |

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
Yeah, unless it's a crazy sale or a free PSN+ title, PS3 retail games should be purchased on disk. Honestly, I don't go into the store at all unless I have to because it's depressing to wait 30 seconds for it to open.
Guacamelee! is a really great game. My son is a nut for Super Metroid, and he finished it in one sitting. If you haven't dropped the $7 on that, you should get on that. |
Re: Official PSN Games Thread
It's easily my downloadable title of the year. It's just great -- at least until the platforming and world-shifting gets too damn hard

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
thanks for the inffo on gta v guys. looks like a retail midnight for me. i was hoping pre-loads would work the same way it does on steam.
