    Bootyful!

    Can see me knackering my buttons the PSP playing track and field! Used to love that on PS1. Wish they'd make a PS3 version

  • Widge #3 4 years ago

    Good vids on the store... lots of interesting games!

  • menage #4 4 years ago

    Bought Ratchet, kinda ok but the girlfriend loves it.

    Trailers aren't really new but nice to seem in in high quality. Killzone looks good, also boring. I can't shake the feeling MS looks worse than the 1st one. heavy rain could be good, if it was actual gameplay, inFamous could be fun as well.

    LBP rocked though, can't wait.

    Beijing Olympics 2008? At least that's why I thought they released that this week.

    heavy rain could be good, if it was actual gameplay

    I thought it was, you could see the button prompts during the knife fight(?)

    Ratchet is 15$ on US store.....and its cheaper to grab this one if you have HDTV since it can play NTSC or PAL signals np....

    Funny how the Force Unleashed demo was just mentioned in passing.

    For me it was one of the highlights of yesterday's update. Way too short, but a lotta fun. The Force Grip power works really well and tossing Stormtroopers around was so fun, I had to play through the demo once more and experiment with that alone.

    It's looking like one of the better titles coming up in September.
    Star Wars fans can't go wrong with this one, it seems.

    @steroyd

    There was some gameplay there, QTE's and moving around. But if that's the gameplay we're offered I would hardly call it that. There was definitely a lot of cutscene as well. While it claimed to be all gameplay footage.

  • saku_luk #9 4 years ago

    yeah SW demo was a lot of fun....gonna go for full game :)

    EDIT:
    Oh well I just grabbed bionic commando instead of Ratchet....this will be fun xD

    The SW demo was fantastic fun, pre-order was well worth it ;)

  • Widge #11 4 years ago

    menage ... search for the 1up preview of heavy rain (google it) and you'll get a bit more detail on the gameplay. Its very unique, I've not heard of a game that controls and plays as it does.

  • Ninja_Tino #12 4 years ago

    Force Unleashed was fun but I'm only going to rent it. £40 seems a tad pricey and I can imagine it being reasonably short. A fiver for 7 days sounds more than enough time!

  • el_pollo_diablo #13 4 years ago

    National Geographic Safari Quiz! I want this.

    £5 is a bit steep mind.

    Should I buy this? Should I be encouraging this sort of thing?

    I'm so confused.

  • AOFanboi #14 4 years ago

    The coolest bit of the SWFU demo was in the TIE hangar where you can use the force to bend the metal bars into the path of the TIE fighters so they crash. Oh, and impaling foes by force-grab and throwing the lightsaber into them. And picking up stuff and throw it into corridors in case there are good guys with guns there. Dark jedi's indiscriminate abuse of the Force ftw.

  • SeesThroughAll #15 4 years ago

    Woohoo! First PSOne game in the portuguese store in nearly an entire year!

    But no Pirates! :(

    I got Kratos for Everybody's Golf World Tour and he's ace in it! :oD

    I like the mechanics of the game, but I find the cutesy J-characters a little too sickly sweet after a while, so having the ghost of Sparta in there has given it a new lease of life.

    Plus his driving club is a sort of club on a chain thing, which rocks.
