Mirror's Edge and Scribblenauts

Mirror's Edge is a great game, you'll most likely love it. One of a kind.

hb5 too.. played the first chapter of Sword & Sorcery, very nice.

I recently finished Shenmue II. FUUUUUUU at the unresolved cliffhanger!

 

Now playing Bayonetta. Really enjoying this: challenging, stylish and typically Hideki Kamiya!

max payne 3 (pc) -

+the shootouts and the animation are great as expected

+the environments are beautiful and detailed

+works and looks good on pc

+cracked on the release date

-bullet time gets repetitive, they didn't innovate at all in this regard

-cut-scenes every second

-extremely limited level design typical of mid 00's shooters

-no max payne 'feel'

-idiotic mtv edits/flashes instead of mp1,2 comic book style

5/10

I went to Ottawa and picked up:

Crysis 2 $18

Sports Champions $12

Splinter Cell Trilogy $12

and Max Payne 3 for full price.

As I feared: PixelJunk 4AM is just a tech demo, and frankly a boring one at that - even the free viewer that lets you sit in on other player's "performances" is lame considering it seems like they're all "playing" the same songs. Maybe I don't understand it, but I had no desire to fiddle with it for more than about 15 minutes. My first PixelJunk disappointment.

Bring on PixelJunk Monsters 2, Eden 2 or something entirely new and innovative!

I don't Facebook, so I've never tried it - is it as bad as that? The initial website images of it I saw made it seem decent...

Just started Final Fantasy VI....man this intro is dragging....i really fucking hate the menu loading times and battle transitions....completely ruins what may have been a great experience...

I beat Dragon's Dogma. Fantastic game. If I didn't have Max Payne 3 to play I'd go for a second playthrough.

12 free games for PS+ users. Including: Infamous 2, Little Big Planet 2, Virtua Fighter 5, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, Just Cause 2, Saints Row 2, Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One, Warhammer 40K Space Marine.

Will give Max Payne 3 a go tomorrow.

Let me guess... Are you playing Final Fantasy Anthology or the PSN Store version? Both ports really awful.

I didn't realise you ever get full games for free with PS+?

Man how can they cock up a conversion of a game as old as '94 ?! BTW - Do give the game a bit of a chance (unless the conversion really is that bad) as I almost gave up after 3 hours as it seemed so dull, but the story slowly opened up and I now think it could possibly be my favourite game in the entire franchise

they've been giving out more and more recently - I was surprised to see there are 115 full PS3 games available to download (games that are sold as well at retail on Blu-Ray discs) - Sony's really being a leader in digital distribution.

In other news, Virtua Fighter 5 still sucks, even free. Hope everyone has upgraded their stock PS3 HDDs, because most of these games clock in at 15GB each. Amazed they are giving away Little Big Planet 2 - that's a carrot for PSN+ if I ever saw one.

I have the PSN version, which apparently is a direct port of the FF Anthology disc. I mean, it really, really is fucking stupid how shitty this is, I would have spent no money on a far superior version if I had just downloaded a ROM file. Once again, evidence supporting why people download illegally. There is no reason this shit should occur in a game that old. Same thing happened with Chrono Trigger and FFIV, the wait times between EACH battle in Chrono Trigger made me break the disc. WTF is wrong with people re-releasing game collections? First this, now Silent Hill? I'm getting really fucking disillusioned with gaming these days, not because I don't enjoy new releases, but I basically have to expect a shit ton of problems with every new release, when I could download it for free with less problems. This makes NO. FUCKING. SENSE.

I died in my sleep a happy old guy. I wish I was as good at real life as I was at this. What a great way to waste my workday.

Max Payne 3 - Polished and cinematic but meh... Can't get into the gameplay.

Limbo - Finally finished this, had to youtube myself out of 2 puzzles. Great atmosphere, some very cool sound design.

Bastion - Also finished this. Amazing game, fantastic ending.

I should get my PS3 back so I can play Dragon's Dogma.

i've started playing WoW again... *sigh*

watching some of the hi def trailers for Wii U, I realized once all devices we use for gaming are hi def, games will probably be classified they way we see movies; real life or animated. Nintendo has pursued since the N64 days a look of live animation. I can only see that becoming a bigger field as more fantasy based directors pursue the next gen consoles. People like Cliff Blazinski go for over the top live action ala GOW, then you have Miyamoto, who can make some of the most beautiful environments created, but they would never pass for reality. I think this is a good thing going forward.

PS+ is an insanely good deal. I managed to pick it up recently and was stoked to see these new games. I just bought JC2 though, and infamous 2. But guardian of light, saints row, lbp2, warhammer. Hells yeah. Thats worth the 50 right there. Plus I got SOTN, and a bunch of other little games already. And discounts on games. There was a ubisoft discount promo recently and I got far cry2 and just cause 2 and beyond good and evil hd for 50% off. good deal for 3 cool games that I haven't played yet.

Got the humble bundle so i'll be busy for a while with a myriad of cool games. and Psychonauts is hilarious

currently enjoying the hell out of Joyride Turbo on Xbox Live. Good kart racer using your avatar as the driver. Hit me up if u wanna race.
