I bought the HSG pinball table, don't like it that much to be honest. It's too slow, and the sound design is kind of boring. No music to speak of, and the whole table just lacks interactivity (and activity). I really like the idea of releasing stand-alone tables for low prices though.

It does all seem to be in a bit of a mess, things promised then withdrawn.

Silent Hill is one of those things, I was lucky to get hold of a copy before they took it down, but why it hasn't been resolved and put back up it is just mind boggling.

I remember getting a copy as well, but didn't know they took it down. What was their reason?

How do I rotate it vertically?

Hit Select. I actually don't mind playing this way on a Go - slide it closed and it's actually not a bad way to play.

I have bought that one too a bit earlier, and it's definitely the worst of the three I have now. It's just pretty boring and feels weird with all the ball slowdowns and speedups as well (not framerate issue, but table feature with too many magnets under the table).

I see now that I mentioned in my posts that this table was good, but I was actually talking about Bowling table which I was playing last night.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. Love when games let you play with PSP closed, they should have went an extra step and made the whole interface accessible that way, like with LocoRoco Midnight.

I have heard that it was either something to do with frame rate issues (I never encountered any) or issues with licensing.

Those are the wind arrows that affect the ball

How long is Braid? I'm not sure if I should get that or Trine.

I've played about as much of Braid as I have of Trine (played the Trine demo, own Braid) and I really like Braid more. Trine just seemed like it would get old after a while, that and it kinda runs janky. As far as length goes, I dunno.

I know it's not a bug - in a real pinball something like that would be done with electromagnets under the table. But it just feels awkward to play like that, and I'm a fan of pinballs that use magnets to change the ball trajectory, I just think they overdid it here.

Get Braid first, and don't worry about game length. You'll get your money's worth.

Is there anyway to pay on PSN with paypal, other than buying a PSN card from somewhere?

Nope, only thing that supports paypal on PSN is that Metal Gear Online game.

Freedom = $1.05 · Nov 14, 2009

You might be able to use Amazon depending on what you're looking for, only they don't support Paypal. Could use your bank account, though.

I used to use an EntroPay virtual credit card (entropay.com) for PSN. I haven't used it in ages though and I wonder if it still works. Will have to test it for Braid soon.

Speevy · Nov 14, 2009

I realize it came out before, but Numblast is really fun.

I normally can't stand puzzle games, and I like it.

If you're from the US and want to buy stuff from us psn store and don't have a CC/debit. just create a paypal virtual card that acts like a credit card but will pull from the source you pick.

If other, IDK lol.

Snuggles · Nov 14, 2009

I guess I'm a week late, but I just noticed that Gex is now available on the PSN store.
Gex was the shit, he was a super secret spy but also a lizard, which was pretty cool. I might have to give it a try.

Times like this I'm glad I own Vagrant Story.

And feel kind of bad because I haven't ever beaten it. Pretty far into it and King's Field: The Ancient City, need to get back to those sometime soon.

Ive beaten it countless times. Square has never topped this game just like Disney has still not topped the Lion King.

Why doesn't Sony do updates through out the week similar to the way MS does their marketplace updates, with Arcade/PSN title releases on a specific day?

Trine is a disappointment. The puzzles are really basic, and the gameplay is repetitive. Being able to switch between the three characters at will makes having multiple characters pointless, and most of the time you can progress through a section with any of the characters anyway. I can't speak for the PC version, but the PS3 version's graphics are rough and lack detail, too.

Braid runs much better on the PS3, and the puzzles are really inventive. I wish it was longer, but I definitely recommend it. It's the best PSN game since Critter Crunch.

Ridley327 · Nov 14, 2009

Trine does indeed run like poop on the PS3, especially in the final levels when they start throwing lots of enemies and objects affected by physics at you; not to mention that it has some of the same bugs that existed on the PC version. It should have been a considerably better port given how long it took to release.

Braid is indeed an awesome game, but I can't justify buying it a third time.

Razorskin · Nov 15, 2009

Just bought bought Braid, thanks for the replies everyone.

Liquidmetal14 shared that one with me. But yeah, 24 bucks for a game I'm sure they're charging 5 bucks for when it comes over. :lol

DCharlie · Nov 16, 2009

there's also one other small problem with Spelunker other than the cost :

it's a absolute turd of a game

I guess they do it so people know when to look for new content. We now have it in our minds to expect something on Thursday. I don't know anything about marketing but I think this is a strategy to maximize sales. Like having schedules for tv shows.

That makes sense for games, but with DLC, trailers, and themes, it just creates a logjam. It's a lot easier to convince somebody to spend two dollars on Monday, three on Wednesday, 10 on Thursday, and 5 on Friday than it is to spend 20 on Thursday.

That is why I like the HK and Japanese stores.

Monday is some dlc and trailers.
Tuesday is some psp stuff or trailers
Wednesday is game archives
Thursday is ps3 demo/games more psp stuff
Friday is a random demo or video.

hoping LBP is out on the store this week.

MGS will be on EU store this week.

Gamecocks625 · Nov 16, 2009

maybe PES 2010 this week?

I did pick up Scrabble to fill the PES shaped hole in my heart...fun little diversion.

The Pinball tables are a nice surprise. Great value for $4. Am I the only one playing the HSG table? I think I'm one of the only ones posting scores :lol

Returners · Nov 16, 2009

Assassin's Creed PSP, LBP PSP, and PES 2010 PSP please.

please....?

I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed for release on PSN tomorrow along side the UMD release a while back, and judging by the recent Tuesday releases on PSN, I'd say it's looking positive.

Or the 360? I know you can get Peggle, but I haven't heard anything about Peggle nights.
