username Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I found Machinarium to be rather charming, but it is a point and click adventure game without a big focus on writing. Good game but it's only gonna work for a certain niche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimoDANK Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Those Dino Crisis games can't hold up well. I'll grab those and Legend of Dragoon. $1 is really a magical buy anything price point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Koch Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Grabbed Toejam & Earl, Double Dragon, Twisted Metal, and the Dino Crisis and Syphon Filter games. Just started a new job so I'll probably never have time to play them, but the deal was too good to pass up. I got Urban Trials on the last flash sale and it is a POS not even worth 99 cents. There is a free to play Tekken game on PSN that is much better than Tekken 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I kind of wish I had a PS3 at the moment to pick up those Syphon Filter games. I loved them back in the day. I have a feeling they'd be a weird experience to try and play through today due to modern shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Wild Arms 2 and The Cave are now in my backlog that I'll never finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a free to play Tekken game on PSN that is much better than Tekken 2. The Vita version of Urban Trials is so bad that it felt like a ripoff on PS+ (and bear in mind that I'm way more generous on PS+ freebies than some folks around here...) I need to pick up TM Black. Haven't played that in a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Why can't Europe ever get these kind of deals? I'd love Toejam and Earl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Koch Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Fired up Syphon Filter (never played it before) briefly last night and holy crap the graphics are bad. Even the CG cutscenes look like a lo res Lego Movie bootleg. Also weird to not be using the analog sticks. Still a fun game though. The little pixilated blood spurts are kinda charming.

Gonzo Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Picked up Double Dragon Neon. Only gotten to the end of the second stage, but definitely not disappointed with it thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Koch Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Played a couple more: Syphon Filter 3 looks better, still no analog stick control. Virtua Fighter 2 - I think this is the Saturn version. Has online VS but didn't try it out cause I am very rusty with this series - only got to the 3rd or 4th match in arcade mode. There are trophies and they seem very easy to get. You even get one for beating each natch on arcade mode. Twisted Metal Black is still fun. The graphics look decent in widescreen/smoothed mode. Was there ever a TM game past this? Seems like a perfect downloadable game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was pretty not great. I do still have installed though and definitely got my money's worth (it was free) out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a perfect downloadable game. There was Twisted Metal: Head On for PSP and PS2 (built on the Black engine, but more thematically in line with the earlier games) and Twisted Metal (no subtitle) for PS3 which was heavily online-focused and had fun gameplay but a very disappointing slate of single-player options.

Neil Koch Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 If you have PS+, some good deals on Superhero games this week. Soldner X is 99 cents. Played it a bit tonight and it seems like a decent shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomAct Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I got Lego Batman 2 and Arkham Origins for about 12 bucks total. May get Injustice, but I am so shitty at fighting games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Ps4 injustice isn't a huge upgrade but its 8 bucks with plus. If you like the game and didn't buy any DLC, it is SO worth it to get all the extra chars for that price. (the Ultimate Edition also starts with all the costumes and STAR Missions unlocked, but none of the other Archive stuff, just FYI.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Yea I dunno what the hold-up is, last month they announced it on the 25th of the month. I figured they'd say something today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Looks like PS3 users are getting Saints Row IV and Far Cry 3, if the article I just read is to be believe. Not too exciting for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
