So 15 is the new 10, huh? I don't like this move. The games aren't getting any better. I haven't been on much in the past month. Still waiting to get a new tv (gf managed to break the last). I guess I'm not missing too much. Oh, I didn't get a LBP beta invite though. Like a couple days before it ends. :( PEACE.

Could someone explain this?

► FIFA 09
○ Live Season - All Leagues Pack ($19.99) - includes everything below
○ Barclays Premier League English Pack ($6.99)
○ Bundesliga German Pack ($6.99)
○ Liga BBVA Spanish Pack ($6.99)
○ Ligue 1 French Pack ($6.99)
○ Primera Division De Mexico Pack ($6.99)
○ Serie A Italian Pack ($6.99)

Does that mean you have to purchase leagues individually? Or is this a purchase for the "live season" thing attached to each league?

I bought the car game and LiS.

LiS is crazy weird but satisfying.

Cars is a pretty decent arena sports game with fast cars. Better than the other downloadable games of this type.

Heh I still cant believe EU got Valkyria Chronicles demo for free while NA can only through Qore. Of course there are other means...but my point still stands.
 
What we need is a Wipeout demo, get on it Sony.

Did anyone notice that there's a section for Music under the Game --> Media tab? That wasn't there before, they renamed Trailers to Media.

Actually, I think that's a misunderstanding on my part. I think they're all different.

To Tanod:

1. Prince of Persia Classic is a remake of the original PoP and is a port of the XBLA version; it's not a PS1 game.

2. Catan by Game Republic was confirmed for PSN.


And to the person who asked, Puzzle Quest PSN is a port of the XBLA version with the $9 expansion pack included at a discount of $4. It has online play.
Buy it, it's addictive and you'll play it for like 20 hours.

Why is there DLC for a game that's not even out yet.

My guess is because updates only happen on thursdays and the game comes out before next thursday. So if you wanted to start the game with the free suits you would need them this week.

It's listed on the official blog as well like this, but I wondering what exactly we're supposed to be purchasing, the ability to use the actual leagues, or access to the live season updates for each league.

Is puzzle quest really any good? I heard a lot of hype behind it, but maybe people were letting themselves get a bit high.

It's just like the LIVE situation. It's free with the new version of the game and pay to play used.

Again, this is strictly for updated daily/weekly stat adjustments.

The demo was cool enough on 360 that I ended up picking it up for $10 on that system. If I hadn't bought it already, I think I'd bite with the expansion for $15.

its addictive! i didn't know what was it when i got psp version (it was cheap), and hooked to it. Too bad PSP version had some bugs.

It's bejewelled with rpg elements, story, quests and better gameplay! get it nao!

If you like puzzles and RPGs, this is a great combination of them--a puzzler used as the "battle engine" of an RPG. The RPG is pretty generic, but offering main characters with special skills related to puzzling, and all the other little subsystems (mounts, friends, expanding your castle), can add up to addiction and timewasting.

I own the PS2 version and I'll definitely get this for the expansion (and the HD, though that's not too crucial for this game).

The Puzzle Quest demo was absolutely brilliant (and that's generally the overall impression for the game as well).

If it doesn't release on the EU store next week (so I can buy it with my main account) I will buy it from the US Store.

Really fast PSN release though (in a backwards sort of way) considering the announcement was like a week or so ago.

!

Is this the same version as on XBLA?

Edit: Apparently not, as that one was done by Big Huge Games. How about a link? I'd like to see images/video since Game Republic is very sketchy
