Tabe Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 This week's update in the US: Free: - Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien (PS3) - Some kind of endless runner, music platforming game. I don't have high hopes for it but will give it a shot anyway. Discounts - The Tomb Raider with Quantum Conumdrum package is back for $20. - a bunch of Vita games are on sale Also, Duck Tales comes out today and may have a PS+ discount still.
Jenalysis Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 I think Divekick is on PSN+ sale as well- has a character that is kinda wrestling-based. (Jefailey) If not this week, next week.
ingrsco Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Glad to see this topic back, Tabe. Thanks for reviving it. Also, thanks for getting me on PSplus and making me a digital hoarder LOL. I was getting ready to play Sleeping Dogs and realized I have downloaded a ton of games since joining Plus. AND I already had a backlogged shelf to boot.
Kevin Wilson Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 I gave Runner2 a shot (why not, its free), and while I can't say that I hate it, I can't say it was... very fun. I thought the rhythm/music part was downplayed so really it was just hours of me jumping over and sliding under shit.

I was getting ready to play Sleeping Dogs and realized I have downloaded a ton of games since joining Plus. AND I already had a backlogged shelf to boot. Would have been back sooner had I realized this forum had come back. I kept checking the old URL instead of going to the main DVDVR site.
Tabe Posted August 20, 2013 Author Posted August 20, 2013 This week's update in the US: Free - Star Wars Pinball (PS3 & Vita) - The standalone version of Zen's four Star Wars tables from Zen Pinball 2. They aren't the best tables in Zen 2 but they're good and very polished. A lot of fun to play, especially for casual pinball folks. - Darkstalkers Chronicles: The Chaos Tower (PSP) - Another 1-on-1 fighting title from Capcom. Supposed to be good. Discount - Divekick (PS3 & Vita) - 2-button fighting game - $7.99 - Killzone Mercenary (Vita) - Public Beta access - Ms. Germinator (PS3 & Vita) - Some kind of action puzzle game. $8.
Cliff Hanger Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Looking forward to Divekick and the heavy discount on Muramasa for Vita.
Andrew POE! Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Divekick looks too much like a free Flash game and not very good. Color me uninterested.
ultimoDANK Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Divekick looks too much like a free Flash game and not very good. Color me uninterested.So you don't see Divekick taking EVO 2014 by storm?I feel the same. I want depth in a fighter not simplicity.
Craig H Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Add me to the group that doesn't get Divekick's appeal. When does Qwop wind up as a game you have to pay for?
Cliff Hanger Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Dive kick looks appealing to me mostly because people I trust who played it at Pax East and E3 seemed to like it, and because it looks like it would be a good Drunk Gaming Party game. Not dethroning Bomberman or anything, but something to just dick around with in a big group of people with failing reflexes and inflated confidence.
Brisco Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 I haven't purchased much from the PSN Store but seeing Max Payne 3 with DLC for $14.99 ($11.99 for PS+ subscriber) was a must buy.
Tabe Posted August 26, 2013 Author Posted August 26, 2013 It's a Vita kind of week in the US on PS+: Free - Machinarium (Vita) - Was free on the PS3 a few weeks ago, still haven't played it yet myself but I've heard it's good. Discounts - Spelunky (Vita) - $12. I think this was free before but can't remember. - Draw Slasher (Vita) - $3. Another weird indy action game. - Lots of other discounts with the highlight probably being Journey for $3.75. I didn't like the game but everybody else did.
Domino_Not_Deuce Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 MACHINARIUM is a charming little game. Nothing too difficult but I really enjoyed the art style and soundtrack. Worth picking up for a few hours fun.

Another weird indy action game. - Lots of other discounts with the highlight probably being Journey for $3.75. I didn't like the game but everybody else did. Spelunker HD was free last year on PS3. SpelunkY is brand new (well, it came out as a PC freebie about 5 years ago, but the commercial iteration is brand new) for both PS3 and Vita this week. It's an easy mistake to make.
Tabe Posted August 28, 2013 Author Posted August 28, 2013 Newly free this week - looks like a permanent change: Pinballistik - One of the first pinball games on PSN. No idea if it's any good or not. Don't have high hopes but I downloaded it and will give it a shot.
Tabe Posted August 30, 2013 Author Posted August 30, 2013 The September PS+ deals for the US: Free - Resident Evil Chronicles HD Collection (PS3) - Ico (PS3) - GTA: Liberty City Stories (PSP, Vita) - Rayman Origins (Vita) - Galaga Legions Some good titles in this lineup. I'll at least grab Galaga and Ico.
The Z Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 We got Assasin's Creed 3 this week. Suck it, America!
Scizzy Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 We got Assasin's Creed 3 this week. Suck it, America! Play it for a few hours and we'll see who gets the last laugh.

Death From Above Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Not sure if this should go here or not, but GOG.com is having a "buy 5 games save 80%" sale until the 16th.
Tabe Posted September 9, 2013 Author Posted September 9, 2013 Not sure if this should go here or not, but GOG.com is having a "buy 5 games save 80%" sale until the 16th. It doesn't. Gonna have to ask Rippa to ban you.
Tabe Posted September 9, 2013 Author Posted September 9, 2013 So this week's deals for North America: Free - Galaga Legions DX (PS3) - I downloaded the demo before and it bored me but I'll give it a shot again. Discounts - a buttload of Call of Duty and Aliens: Colonial Marines discounts - Doodle God (Vita) - $4.49 - Dragon Fantasy Book II (PS3 & Vita) - $11.99.
