Sam 'n Max s3 (consistent throughout), followed by Tales of Monkey Island (lame for 2 then great for 3).
No platinum on any of them unfortunately. Although if you care about your number of completed games, each chapter shows up as a separate game

It is super annoying, would have only downloaded 3 had I done any research.is there no way to play with crash on the analog sticks? My hand cramps up after about 1 level using the dpad
You can play as a small fluffy dog and run around killing things....whats not to love man
!Seriously though, the game is a lot of fun with lots of different animals to play as, tight controls and its jut lots of fun. If anything, this harkens back to the wacky PS1/PS2 Japanese days with bizarre concepts making into games so crazy they are just make since. For only a buck, you will have a blast playing this

Fair enough, done
Picked up all the TellTale games as well as a friend has been suggesting those for a while (and I spent a lot of time with Monkey Island and Sam & Max back in the day ).Just create a US account. Doesn't cost you anything and you can still play the games on your UK account. That's what I do
EDIT: Oops, double post, sorry...

Tokyo Jungle GET! I've always wanted to play it. This Flash sale is awesome!
Fantastical
Death Prophet
I've only played survival mode. It is open, but the levels are like hallways. Weird choice, IMO.
Cross-buy games always allow you to purchase multiple versions, but you can only buy one of them. Yes, it is cross-buy
double jump
you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
I picked up crash 3 and trial freestyle.
Even for a dollar trials wasn't worth it.

Yeah. Been like that since always. It's no problem if you want to spend over $5 in games, but for sales like this; it is worthless if you don't plan on buying less than 5 games.
Hmm.. I decided to buy it and I enjoy it for what it is. As basically a advertisement you have to pay for, it has no right to be as good as it is. It even has Little Big Planet vibes going for it. Multiplayer is okay, but a little more frustrating than single player due to having to split up Sour Patches. For $1, it's worth it in my opinion.
Do I need to play the previous Sam & Max games to understand/have the full experience of the third season, or is it a completely stand-alone game? I don't want to miss out on half the experience, and this is the main thing stopping me from buying it (I know nothing about Sam and Max outside of Poker Night 2). Also, how's Tales of Monkey Island?

this over yet?
Ends today at 7:00 am Pacific so ~7 hours left.
got tokyo jungle, sshd, rcr, everyday shooter and retro grade.
tokyo jungle is pretty cool, i got killed by a hippo shit. sshd is good the snake enemy you shoot is one of the most satisfying top down shooter enemies ever, and the rumble effects are top notch too, main gun sound gets repetive though. rcr seems pretty meh idk the cars arent really fun or the combat, the little nostalgia bits are kinda neat though.

No one else bought when vikings attack?
After dying to NOTScar for the umpteenth time, I've been enjoying unlocking the various playfields and tackling the bosses of each, i'm 6 levels in and still got a lot to go..
I wanted to see how people felt about the multiplayer, but I guess I'll try it myself with my nephew!

Just picked up spyro 3 to add to the list. Hope it's good.
Sorry, I hate to post so soon again but the sale is ending soon and it's really late where I live. Is Sam & Max better to play after playing Season 1 and 2 (is it a direct sequel)? If so, is it better for me to just not buy it or rent Season 1 and Season 2 on the Wii and play those two before Season 3? How are Season 1 and 2 on the Wii? Do I need to know anything about the comics to enjoy the game?
Also, how's Tales of Monkey Island? I have $2 left in my account, and I could spend it on these two games if you guys think thats worth it, or I could save it/spend it on a PS1/2 classic game.

Sony still not letting you just buy a game outright(ie, have to add 5 dollars) is real silly but oh well. I'll use the other 3 eventually.

Credit cards charge a transaction fee so it is not unreasonable to expect minimum transaction sizes. The sale may be worthless if you wanted 1 item but the credit left in the your PSN account may not be.
If it makes you feel better the only funding I can use if gift cards making this $10.

Man, I really wish CTR was at a higher frame rate, but at least this time I'm not sure I CAN fault the developers for going for prettier visuals given this is Naughty Dog and the PS1 didn't exactly have horsepower to spare, not like modern systems where concessions shouldn't have to be as extreme. Nintendo did Mario Kart 64 at 30 FPS I think but that was probably half because they went with sprites over polygonal models, and Naughty Dog always prided themselves on going full 3D with Crash 1 so I couldn't see them making such a huge concession here.
Still, they can definitely make a good cart racer, and it makes me wonder if they could still produce one. If they do may as well go the PSASBR route, certainly you couldn't do the same with just Uncharted and TLoU unless they wanted to go for a surreal change of tone, and that's easier to swallow when it's a big pile of properties anyway.

Damn are you guys strapped for cash? The sale was worthless? really? Geez
The Sam & Max games are independent from each other in terms of continuity. Monkey Island is good but Sam & Max is better
I suppose if you never, ever plan to buy anything else on PSN again afterwards then it's a bum deal, but if you DO plan to get more later then it's just credit sitting around. Not that I can fault the intimidation factor or the fact that maybe money is just that tight, but I guess you just have to weigh whether having that money sitting there is minor enough to justify getting whatever you want. It's not like Wii, DSi, or pre-updated 3DS/Wii U where your money's locked to that one device anyway.
And Sam & Max have references to prior seasons. Honestly the continuity's only a big deal with 2, where you do get more out of it by playing 1 first though it's not required. 3's very much stand alone though.

I bought Tokyo Jungle, can't say no to that price.

I have not played the prior telltale Sam & Max games and I never felt lost playing the devil's playhouse like I was missing something. Playing the other seasons is definitely not a prerequisite

Weird, I only have like 5 titles listed for the flash sale... Anyways, got that Viking title and urban trials.
Edit : like all the other games you guys are talking about like the monkey island, etc...are not even on available on my psn store. I have a US account but am located in Europe, could that be the reason?

Nope shouldn't be.
I'm in the UK and just go to my US account and sign in and the store has everything that should be there.
Well, I mean that you should play 1 before 2, but neither are really needed for 3. The reason for this is
recurring bit characters from early in the first season ultimately become the main antagonists of the second, whereas nothing remotely as significant is in the third.

Like all the other games talked about I just do a search on the psn store and they are not even there...
The only thing I could think of for not having them is because I am on a Japanese Vita with a US account and now located in Europe. Or I dunno... It's so odd though.
Tokyo Jungle search for example gives me 5 paint park sticker items, a talkman travel Tokyo (psp game) and nothing relevant afterwards.
So for me the flash sale consists of : Retro City Rampage, When Vikings Attack, Urban Trial Freestyle, Everyday Shooter and Gex : Enter The Gecko
It is, at worst, absolutely worth 99 cents. Even if you can't bring yourself to be completionist and unlock all the animals and finish the story mode you'll likely get some fun with it.
