rag doll kung fu doesnt have online?! i kind of assumed it must have. is it only good for local co op then?

It doesn't have online.
SP is a series of challenge modes. Local Multiplayer has four different gameplay types (Deathmatch, King of the Hill, Dodgeball and Fish in basket). There's about ten very different levels and you can build your own doll from various parts.

But yeah, Ragdoll is a must have.

Flower, Rag doll Kung Fu & CometCrash are my top three PSN titles so far this year.

Well, the challenges keep you entertained for a while, to get trophies and unlockables. But the multiplayer is where the meat is, as usual.

C'mon, a game like this needs online :|

 

[Wollan]

It's a sad omission, agreed. Physics being too complex is a bad excuse (when LBP is possibly more physics heavy and with same amount of players).

But it would be more sad if people missed out on this, it's still really great.

 

[Always-honest]

Easily Ragdoll.
Not only is it cheaper, it's a much better game.

My comparison basis (been playing for a few hours now):
I've played every multiplayer mode on every level in Ragdoll.
We're on level 12 in Flock now.

okay thanx. may even buy both. flock looks like a fun game to do with my GF.

 

[BobTheFork]

I'll speak up and say that I thought crash commando was a GREAT game. There are still a few people playing it online. It is a fast paced frag fest, and I really liked how it was balanced. Good control scheme (jetpacks rule), good amps and good weapons. If you can get it cheap it fun. There is a short but fun SP mode as well.

 

[ChackanKun]

But it would be more sad if people missed out on this, it's still really great.

Gotta agree on that, wasn't going to buy it because of the lack of the online mode but im a sucker for psn games lol

Glad I did it lol :lol

 

[number1jagsfan]

I have a question thats slightly off-topic. If I am replacing my PS3 HD will I lose the games I have acquired through trades? And how can I transfer my PSN games and saves?

arghh. it looks really good but i never play local multiplayer so i guess its not worth it.

just realised i have $43 sitting in my US account so maybe will get comet crash instead. is it the best of the tower defence games or is savage moon better? (i despise pj monster's art so i refuse to buy it)

Much better than Savage Moon.
Savage Moon will last you longer because it's too hard to finish but yeah, no contest.
SM has a story, it is seemingly a bigger package but CC is clearly the better game. While playing it's flawless.

 

[nny]

hm...these discounts are what I was needing to try some of these games...I can see this becoming an expensive week. So far, picked up Elefunk and Piyotama, will do some reading on some of the other titles now.

 

[Goldrusher]

If I am replacing my PS3 HD will I lose the games I have acquired through trades?

Not if you make a full back-up.

 

[DMeisterJ]

PS Blog was just giving away free FLOCK codes, shame I didn't refresh it. lol.

Actually it was a mix of Capcom game codes according to the comments.

Nope, no deals, but there is a Sega Genesis Ultimate Collection demo.

Nope, no deals, but there is a Sega Genesis Ultimate Collection demo.

Well this update certainly pales in comparison to the EU update. Looking forward to next week for the Valkyria dlc at least.

Will update op after goldrusher finishes his list. Things should be back to normal next week. I will be back home.

 

[Returners]

no sale?

 

[Mrbob]

Damn, SCEA failing again.

I wanted some sales after seeing the EU update.

At least they finally got the Cubs Theme up!

 

[Wollan]

Damn, SCEA failing again.

It's still a fine update. There's two higher quality games (well, one at least in Rag Doll) released there.
EU had an extraordinary update but the US one is still good.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Any deals or was that Europe only?

Actually, there ARE DEALS for Easter...

...but they're all on the video side.

Oh well, at least I got Valkyria Chronicles for $30 this week @ GameStop.

 

[rainking187]

Wow, another terrible week. And $14.99 for Flock?:lol I played the Qore demo and wouldn't pick it up for $5.00. It's awful.

 

[Revolutionary]

Wow @ Twilight being #1 for March.
For shame PSN users, for shame.

 

[dk_]

Wow, another terrible week. And $14.99 for Flock?:lol I played the Qore demo and wouldn't pick it up for $5.00. It's awful.

It's not awful, but it's definitely only a $9.99 game for me.

@ Wollan

Come on, is Kung Fu that good? :lol

 

[Dante]

Fuck yeah! off to buy RDKF!

 

[Wollan]

Come on, is Kung Fu that good? :lol

I'm sure more impressions will be rolling in very soon. The game surprised me even though I felt that I had a good idea for the overall package.

 

[Cruzader]

Does anyone have Socom/Warhawk PSN downloadable codes?(Home contest) I have disk versions but am trying to trade for PSN versions.

 

[acevans2]

US Store is up! Man, I love these early updates.

PULSE 4/9:

I hope Q4B has done well enough to get Insomniac to do another episode sometime in 2010. Seems like I've seen it on the top downloads lists a lot.

EDIT: Oh yeah, it was on sale for a while...

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Wow, that Virtua Tennis trailer was a complete waste of time. Congrats on not showing me anything, Sega.

 

[Aru]

A demo for Megadrive Ultimate Collection ? Really ? :lol

 

[AranhaHunter]

It's mid april and still no psone games.....

Anyways, the new trailers for DCUO look nice, we've seen a lot of media for that game lately, I wonder if it's coming out this year.

 

[drakesfortune]

No sale?! Total bummer. I was going to buy HV Bowling, Elefunk, Crash Commando, Pain, Quest for Booty because I procrastinated and didn't buy a couple weeks back, Everyday Shooter, and Astro Tripper while I was at it. Now, I'm just going to pick up Astro Tripper and that Shins song for Rock Band. I'm super bummed that we didn't get a sale.

This is essentially what we have to look forward to in the all downloadable future. One sale a year if we're lucky, with at most 50% off. I don't like that future at all.

PSN has been one huge let down post-Flower. SCEA is really bumming me out lately. Give us some damned PS1 games. Silent Hill would really be great right about now.

 

[FlashFlooder]

WHERE IS MY SF4 COSTUME COMBO PACK!!?!?!!

 

[Samuray]

WHERE IS MY SF4 COSTUME COMBO PACK!!?!?!!

As far as I know, that's Japan-exclusive.

I agree with all of these except that I think the EU price drop is permanent, not temporary.

 

[Wollan]

I agree with all of these except that I think the EU price drop is permanent, not temporary.

It ends April 23rd I believe.

 

[AranhaHunter]

It ends April 23rd I believe.

Oh, nevermind then I agree with everything drakesfortune said.

 

[Dizzan]

Siren is still $29.95 in Australia.
Wipeout HD $23.95

Still too expensive.

 

[drakesfortune]

I got the UK version of Siren basically for free. Some UK site, I think it was DVD.co.uk, or something like that had Siren for $25 including shipping to the US last November. So I picked up 2 copies and sold one on eBay for $50. Free copy of Siren for me! I still haven't played it yet though. I have to get through GTALD, Fable II, and a few other things first.

I might pick up the blu ray aswell. I dont really want to use up 9gig on my hd.

I don't whether to go to those PSP 2 / 4000 rumor threads that keep popping up and laugh at or cry with all the PSP is going all digital downloads people

 

[ruxtpin]

what the hell

I want SCEA to fix this shit. FIX IT.

Where are my digital-distribution PSX, PS2, and PSP games? I want them NAO.

 

[dreamer3kx]

WTF is Sony waiting for, why no ps1 games still, I DONT UNDERSTAND!

 

[Rapping Granny]

Wipeout HD $23.95

Still too expensive.

NO IT'S FUCKING NOT!!!!

Has more value than any $60 racer released this generation /fact.

 

[NinjaFridge]

Is Dark Mist worth it for £3.99?

 

[Revolutionary]

A demo for Megadrive Ultimate Collection ? Really ? :lol

Only Sonic 3, Streets of Rage 3, and... something else that escapes my mind at the moment are playable, though... for like 2 minutes (or maybe I just finished them that fast).

Pointless demo.

 

[AranhaHunter]

I don't whether to go to those PSP 2 / 4000 rumor threads that keep popping up and laugh at or cry with all the PSP is going all digital downloads people

Well the only one slacking on PSP/PS1 games on PSN is SCEA. Either way I doubt they are going all digital download, what we're hoping for is day and date PSP new releases and more PSP and PS1 catalog titles up on PSN.
