Just Twisted Metal 2 for me. Still wishing Head-On would be made Vita compatible!

Anyone here played the Escape Plan? How is it? Is it worth 7 bucks?

Insane price for The Order, well worth it. I think I paid $8 when it went on sale last year and I really enjoyed the ride.

Sound Shapes is fantastic. Fun little platformer and, as you can expect, the soundtrack is terrific. The levels are designed around the soundtrack.

Good actually. A lot of PS2 and PS3 games got butchered on the way to Vita, but this is one of the good ones. It's no FFX or MGS collection, but it's pretty solid. Nothing extra, just the games as they were on PS2 more or less.

Sound shapes is awesome. The platforming is a bit on the easy side, but the way it syncs up with the great music is awesome.
It's fun, but it is more a platformer with musical overtones vs. a pure rhythm game. Your character is more physics-based IIRC, so jumps/movement feel a bit more 'floaty' than a traditional platformer too. Levels are fun, there are individual challenges that give you a ton of trophies (it's a relatively easy plat), and a music/beat building mode where you have to construct beats solely on you listening to a beat and putting the pieces together. Most are pretty simple, but some will take you some time to get right. Overall, I really like Sound Shapes, and there is a lot of curated UGC to keep you busy once you're through all the official levels.

How is Trials of The Blood Dragon? I love Trials series but haven't really followed this one. Is it a good Trials game?

I wish I didn't own Trials Fusion already because it's making me hesitate to buy the Awesome Max edition even though it's a good price.
Yeah the game gets too much shit imo. The game play is just serviceable and the boss fights are pretty meh. But it is absolutely gorgeous with a fun story. I really enjoyed my time with it and may even go back and platinum it at some point. It is not a bad game just fell far short of it's potential. Definitely worth picking up at this price.

As long as there are PS3s, there will be servers. You can setup your own PS3 as a Warhawk Server!

Umm.. GoW collection on Vita is generally felt to be a pretty bad port. They're playable but it's sub-native res and frequently sub-30fps, which is a big adjustment if you're used to playing GoW1 and 2 at 60. It's playable, but it's not really a good port by any stretch of the imagination.

If you say so. I haven't played it since it came out. I also haven't played GoW1 or 2 since the PS2 days. I don't remember if they were 30 or 60fps.
I just remember it being way better than Borderlands 2 and MK9.

Do people still play The Division?
I'm tempted by the deluxe edition. I played a bit at launch, and I'm dying for some good NYC action.
I could get it on PC but I feel like with the Pro patch it would actually be better on that then my G4560/RX470

GOW1 and 2 were 60fps on PS2 - they're often held up as examples of great graphics, art and framerate in one package.
You're right - they're not total disasters, but they're pretty weak ports, and particularly weak for GoW games. They're the only portable option so that's something, but definitely this shouldn't be the first way someone experiences them.
The AC Collection really hasn't dropped in price anywhere, so $30 is actually solid for the two good games.

It adds awful platforming and shooting sections. I was excited by the concept but the product is BAD.
I bought the bare game a few weeks ago and have been playing it a lot since. There's a lot of people playing, matchmaking literally takes seconds for anything I've tried so far.

Most trophies you get just doing the half-story (I won't call it a story because this game has only half of it)... after that you just need few minutes in chapter select to get the missing trophies.

Still waiting for a good deal on Siege. Has it ever been on sale for less than $15?
*3 years ago*
"meh, I'll wait until Black Flag & Unity are under $8"
..still waiting..
Triple pack has them at $10 a pop if you haven't played Syndicate.
It's been so long since I've played, I had forgotten that they had that built in.

I've wanted to give Siege a chance for a while now but I'm afraid a filthy casual like myself would just get destroyed.
Thoughts?

I played it, it was decent. For that price it's not bad if you are bored and you like AC.
Sell the game for cheap, bait you in with the nickel and dime dlc that is pretty.

Huh, and the same price on Canadian store. Tempting..

Shooting section in a Trials game? What the hell were they thinking.
Thank you for keeping me from wasting my money.

I'm already playing God of War 3 on my PS3 but for $6 I'm going to buy it for PS4 and play it at a later date.
Also those are some nice sales on the rest of the God of War games.

Unbelievable that the Assassin's Creed Syndicate Season Pass is still not on sale. Why stick it to people who bought the game separately? I can buy the Gold Edition for $28 (game + season pass), but the Season Pass is still $30.

I played it on PC and it's great, easily worth such a pittance, but... "requires Move"? Wut??
Edit: ohhhh it's not the same game hahaha. I was thinking of the adaptation of Steve Jackson's Sorcery! gamebooks which came out on PC and mobile. But this is something completely different. I have no idea about that game, but if it's a Move game, it's probably trash.

That's pretty much how it always is. You get penalized for not buying the bundle.

IV, Unity & Syndicate for $30? Fuck yeah, I am sold.
Sorcery the Move game actually isn't half bad. Decently fun adventure game that does some creative stuff.
