Cliff Hanger Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 So, downloading Castle of Illusion between its Plus launch later today and 4/28 gets you the preorder bonus (the Genesis version). People who are on Plus but bought the game after launch are likely to be angry, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 This week's US update: Free - Castle of Illusion (PS3) - beautiful remake of the original Genesis classic, held back by floaty, imprecise, unresponsive controls. Worth a download. Discounts - lots of discounts for Lego titles - a bunch of discounts for Pure Chess for the PS4. Every system seems to get one or two but... does anybody really buy chess games for consoles? I say that as somebody who's bought lots of them for computers. Chess games are weird. For the average player, I don't think much has actually been added of value to the game since about 1985 when the Sargon series worked out a decent AI normal people couldn't beat.

It looks like the Genesis Bundle is a distinct item in the PSN store with a higher price tag, so you may be able to 'buy' it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 There was a bundle in the PSN store and I was able to download the Genesis version separately as part of that. Playing it a little bit confirmed that, yep, the controls on the original were a LOT better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better is this tidbit from the IGN review of Pure Chess - there's no real-time online play. Correspondence chess only. In 2014. Well-done, sirs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't play the Genesis version yet, so I don't have a point of reference, but I'll try that later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you need another chess program to play online at all when there are many servers already out there (free ones for the hobby players and pay to play ones for serious players)?

Guess I'll just re-download the PSP version of the original to my Vita and enjoy that instead. (Glad I caught it before I bought it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
