Angry the Clown Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Flower hits Feb. !2th. I cannot wait. the game looks stunning. I'll second that. I'm really looking forward to it. Fat Princess is allegedly being set for a March release too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnemaEms Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 NHL 3 on 3 Arcade game hits on the PSN today. Downloading the demo off of the UK store now. Killzone 2 demo is also up on the UK store for folks that don't keep up in the Killzone 2 thread. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covak Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 So when the heck does the PSN store update? I guess I've never been home when anxiously awaiting a PSN release before, so I'm sitting here going "Where the @#$% is Flower already?!?"

dogbert Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Gamersyde's got some good gameplay videos up for Flower. Sony also announced "PSN's Spring Fever", a similar idea to MS's Summer of Arcade from last year. Basically, in the next few months, we're getting these games: * Flower * Noby Noby Boy * No Gravity * Wheel of Fortune * Burn Zombie Burn * Ragdoll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic * The Punisher: No Mercy * In addition to these titles, PlayStation Network will also be launching Bomberman Ultra, Flock, Comet Crash, Watchmen and many more during this timeframe. Interestingly, that list is a lot shorter than it was yesterday - it listed titles like Zen Pinball, a turn based strategy title & another tower defence title.

boogieman Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Can you download Loco Roco 2 from the PSN store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzzelsCousinFred Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 There are a lot of PSP titles, but I'm not sure about Loco Roco 2 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBardon Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Zen Pinball, a turn based strategy title For a second I read that as "Zen Pinball is a turn based strategy title" There's an idea that nobody's tried before. Pinball on hexes. I thought there was a statement from Sony a while back that said that all UMD PSP releases this year would be downloadable as well?

Atomic Dog Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 I have a question about downloadable PS1 games. They are playable on both the PS3 and the PSP. For the PSP, do they download to the memory stick, or is it just playable via remote play? I've been wanting to pick up Medievil. I already have the PS1 disc, so I could play that on PS3, but I'd love to have it on the PSP. Would there be any difference graphically on the PS3 between the old disc version and the d/l version?

OzzelsCousinFred Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 *can be played* doesn't necessarily mean "will play well" I tried Castlevania Chronicles on my psp, wow. The lag was palatable, and while the game was poorly responsive before on the PS2/PS3 directly, over the lag of a slow wireless connection it was pretty unplayable on my psp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I had a little under ?4 left in my PSN wallet so opted to spend it on Noby Noby Boy. This is one of the strangest, most quirky things I have played in a good while. At this point I am not quire sure whether the positively glowing Eurogamer review falls for praising obscurity for the sake of obscurity however. It's 3:30am (perhaps the ideal hour for playing such an odd little experience) and it has yet to "click" with me. Still, it is making me smile... a lot - for reasons I don't yet know why. However, I think it is safe to say that most people will absolutely hate this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lutter Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I'm hoping there will be a demo... I absolutely adore Katamari (own both PS2 versions and the 360 version) but the videos of this game just confuse the shite out of me. Looking at it I can't even understand the goal... heh.

Angry the Clown Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 There is no goal. A little fairy at the beginning makes this point explicitly clear. It’s just a very surreal sandbox environment. You eat things, you grow, your shrink, people and animals go for rides on your back. My 'Boy' just split in two leaving me with two independent halves to control. I was forced to make him eat his own backside in order to make him whole again. Am I playing this or dreaming it? Why is the sun a lion kneeling down over the Earth? How can I have lost an hour of my life to this already with no regrets? Is it brilliant? I just don’t know… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I?ll tell you what I think this is. You know when you were a child and you?d just make up nonsensical games with your toys? The way you?d lump a bunch of toys together ? toys that, by all rights, wouldn?t normally belong together (like putting a dinosaur amongst a bunch of cowboy action figures)? A child would not question what is going on in Noby Noby Boy and that seems to be the point. Why does it have rabbits acting like rabbits, but at the same time Racoons in suits riding bicycles? Does it matter? Just like when you?d play as a child there are no rules or objectives here. Everything just? is, and that?s a childhood memory most have probably forgotten (and most will probably have a difficult time trying to understand again should they be faced with a title like this). After 90 minutes of this that?s what I take from it anyway. 90 minutes! I can?t even sit here and tell you exactly what I have done in that time. Much of it seems to have been me trying to work out what I can?t do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Yup. It's thorough a toy, and I'm happy to experience it for $5. A demo is kind of pointless - it's a time waster, it's an experiment, it's something to mess about with. And it's $5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony G Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) I was looking around the PS store and noticed Magic Ball, a 3D-Arkanoid type game. It looks like a lot of fun, anyone try it out? Edit: I ended up getting it and I'm having a blast. At first it seemed too easy, but as you progress the level design adds some challenge to it.

Anthony G Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I have to say, I have really neglected my PS3 as a game console. However, between Flower and Magic Ball I have been really using my PS3. Hopefully I will get back into the other games I own (i.e. Little Big Planet). I am really addicted to the two PSN titles. Flower was an instant hit with me and Magic Ball started off a bit too easy, but as I progress the difficulty has skyrocketed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
