The Playstation 3 is IDENTITY THEFT

Arkham City, Vanquish and Limbo are the new PS+ freebs in the UK this month. Two of those three are definitely great, Vanquish might be ok too.

But that means today is the last chance to grab Crysis 2, Scott Pilgrim, Double Dragon Neon.

Double Dragon Neon is so, so stupid, but I kinda love it?

EU peeps : Tokyo Jungle is £5.19/€6.49 (£4.67/€5.84 for PS+) for next couple of days

SO worth it

So not worth it!

Did we have some kind of trash/guilty pleasures thread? 'Cuz Double Dragon Neon definitely is my Guilty Pleasure of The Year. Tries as hard as it can to be incredibly stupid and succeeds wonderfully. The actual game, eh, it's OK. Being such a huge NES Double Dragon fan back in the day helps, but wow, the ending song belongs in the pantheon with "Still Alive" and the God Hand ending:

I almost xposted this to the Xbox thread to make sure jjjusten read this. But then again, you probably don't need to play the game now that you've seen that. But man! This is gonna make my C&P just for taking the original DD theme and turning it into a cheesy karaoke rock opera.

Papo & Yo on sale tomorrow through Jan. 3rd:

Some other junk too, but not a great start for the sale week. Anyone rep for I Am Alive?

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/12/17/holiday-essentials-huge-discounts-on-40-must-have-games/

tempted by NHL 13. I miss hockey.

Played Quantum Conundrum for about an hour - kinda neat and cute, but it gave me some really bad motion sickness. A shame...

sound shapes is GREAT guys
get the demo

Sound Shapes is great for about 20 minutes

I'd say 40 but yes.

I've been playing some Motorstorm RC. The game is tremendously tough, but pretty fun. I wish it had online multiplayer.

Might get Journey on sale today, but not sure if I should wait for a sale on the disc version.
Tokyo Jungle on sale tomorrow; do I hate myself enough to buy it?
Skullgirls too.

13 games on sale tomorrow on PSN:
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/01/21/psns-13-for-13-begins-tomorrow-top-games-movies-great-prices/

Really nice PS+ prices. Anyone rep for Unfinished Swan, LBP Karting, Hot Shots Golf, or House of the Dead OVERKILL?

Hot Shots Golf is great. If you've never played any of the previous Hot Shot games, it's a no brainer at that price. If you've played the other Hot Shot games before (or classic Mario Golf games), it's pretty much just more of the same, except with better graphics, a new shot type (though classic is still best) and some online modes... so it depends if you feel like playing more of that.

Hot Shots Golf is mechanically a pretty good golf game and has a sort of RPG mode to work through, i find the look of it pretty ugly though, those big bobbly heads ugh :(
played HOTD Overkill on Wii and its a good lightgun game esp local co-op, obv in thrall of Tarantino/70s exploitation thing but the script is quite funny in places - i imagine it would be pretty unplayable unless you have the Move controller though

i haven't played Mario Golf since the Gamecube... i'm thinking about it
i do have the Move, but i guess I'd have to shell out for a second controller to do co-op. for $5, though, that sounds like fun

oh yeh EU PSN is having a Final Fantasy sale starting Wednesday, pretty much everything half price.
anyone want to rep for Final Fantasy Tactics: War of Lions?

that's the remake of the original FFT for PS1, right? all-time classic in the genre

unfinished swan demo was great fun
FFTactics War of the Lions is one of my five favorite all time games. Buy it. Now.

After fourteen years of on-and-off play, I finally beat Final Fantasy Tactics last night
^this is fftactics war of the lions if it's not clear

anyway, i'll be buying several games on that ps+ sale. those are the right prices. iOS prices.

House of the dead overkill is great fun on the Wii.

FFTactics War of the Lions is one of my five favorite all time games. Buy it. Now.

ok on Wednesday then! with a new Picross game on Thursday as well this is a great week for handheld digital downloads.

one note tho': FFTactics is free with PS+ so maybe worth just getting that instead?

only free in US, EU blog say its not getting added anytime soon

ah, my apologies

i'd rather have it for free! speaking of which i haven't fired JSR up yet ...

my roommate will probably never let me see my ps3 or tv again, now that ni no kuni is out

you can finally buy PSN games through a webpage:
https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-us/home/main
weird that it has a loading screen but eh - this'll help with the impulse buys

Cool, so those PS+ games I queue up every month but never get around to installing or playing, now I can queue them up without even plugging in the PS3!

haha yes, exactly

man oh man do i love ni no kuni

i am fighting a djinn who is equipped with an umbrella, and he keeps kicking my adorable li'l butt

shut up soda i have to wait another week :((((

think i'm gonna buy the game and the strategy guide

EU PS+ update
6th February: Sleeping Dogs
6th February: Quantum Conundrum
6th February: F1 Race Stars
13th February: WipEout 2048
20th February: Lumines Electronic Symphony

fuck yeh!

whoah, Sleeping Dogs and Lumines, nice

hrmmmm. wonder what us gets.

Ace, Quantum Conundrum is meant to be a fun time too, it's by the Portal people isn't it?

Hey I've got a PS+ question - I don't have a vita. But the PSN store seems to let me add the vita games under PS+ to my basket and check them out. Is that going to be enough for me to have them all still be available if I do pick up a vita in the future? Or do I need to have initiated a download to an actual console too?

once you've checked them out they will always be accessible via yr download history, no need to download. i just go to the webstore (now available in US) and "buy" everything PS+ when it comes available, much quicker than using the PS3.

That's great!

i played the first hour of QC, it's OK so far but aside from the nice surprise of having Q from Star Trek narrate the game, there's nothing particularly wowing

xp yeah, i'm downloading all those Vita games in the unlikelihood that i'll pick one up at some point

US PS+ this week is ninja gaiden sigma... for vita? ugh.

last week was free FOOSBALL
i am not trying to be a fanboy here but come the fuck on

so whats the deal with PSN+

do you get to keep all the games u get if you stop it

what about the discounted games u get

u keep discounted games
u lose access to all the free ones once you discontinue use.

and do you get good freebies?

Mostly A list (but not usually triple A) stuff from maybe 9 to 12 months ago? Sometimes longer. So yeah, pretty good. Recently in the UK we've had the likes of Arkham City, Bulletstorm, Crysis 2, Red Dead Redemption, Borderlands 1.

Basically thanks to PS+, my massive Steam backlog, and my increasingly limited gaming time, I'm planning to buy NO NEW RELEASES for the whole of 2013. We'll have to see how that goes though, resisting GTAV is going to be a a struggle for sure.
