Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Didn't I read somewhere that you can only download something you've bought 3 times before having to pay for it again? Or am I dreaming?

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Thanks for answering my ??? guys, good lookin out. Yes, I am talking about being logged into my account, downloading, then potentially going onto a new console, recovering my account, and re-downloading for free.

Now, say I do this.... Can I possibly transport my save games (PSone classics or regular PS3 saves) from console to console, wirelessly or by any other method?

Sorry for the dumb questions, I'm new to PS3. I had a PS2, then been pretty much exclusively 360 for the last couple years, and am just now getting into the PS3, so I'm not 100% knowledgeable about all the features of this console just yet. Thanks for the help, fellas. That's why I love this place

Yes by using a usb flash drive. not all saves will transfer. rock band saves will not and a few others.

How is track and field? I used to have that game. Is it worth the purchase in your opinion?

You can download it as many times as you want. The 5 times thing is how many differnet PS3s you can have your account activated on and still download the content you have bought.

haven't played it yet. For whatever reason when I tried to download the game, the d/l process would screw up and stop d/l the game. Going to try and download it again when I get home tonight.

Flower is more like an interactive screensaver than a game. I stole it from a friend who bought it, and ended up being glad I didn't pay for it.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

I really want to buy Smash Cars, but I want to know if multiplayer includes split-screen. It looks like this game is completely unsuccessful purchase-wise, and I would prefer replay value with my friends than online when people stop playing, just like how no one is playing TMNT or ZEN Pinball online anymore.

That would be awesome if it has four player split-screen. If not, I'm seeing this game is very lacking in features and will probably pass.

PixelJunk Shooter is coming in December.

Eurogamer Review - 8

Shooter might appear to be shrugging itself off as another twin-stick blaster, but in fact it's a game of exploration, collection and puzzle-solving as much as action - as well as being a hypnotic physics plaything, thanks to its spectacular fluid dynamics. It's about as laidback as this famously testing series has ever been.

Recalling the classic Thrust - but nowhere near as difficult - PixelJunk Shooter has you steering a small craft through tunnels and caverns, rescuing stranded workers in conspicuous orange hazard suits. In each scene (there are five scenes to a stage, five stages to a world and three worlds in total) you need to account for all the survivors to unlock a door and progress. You do this by grabbing them with a grappling hook or failing to avert their deaths, but you can only do the latter five times before it's game over. Your ship, however, has infinite lives.

Huge bodies of fluid are flung around the screen, behaving consistently and believably as they hiss and sizzle against each other, while you puzzle and blast your way through these tightly-conceived little mazes. Don't be fooled by the plain cutaway graphics with their bright, simple blocks of colour; Shooter is a proper 1080p spectacle and an impressive piece of physics programming. It's also driven along smartly by some great music - a funky, dynamic collection of upbeat trip-hop in the Ninja Tunes style by High Frequency Bandwidth.

PixelJunk Shooter's great achievement is that, having come up with such a simple, novel and joyfully interactive concept, it doesn't stop there, and also doesn't break anything by iterating. Virtually every stage throws new ideas, substances and combinations at you. Clouds of rising gas only warm your ship slowly, but choke survivors, collect under ceilings and explode when they come into contact with magma. Sheets of ice freeze water, but can be melted away by magma or laser beams bounced off mirrors. Hot, magnetic oil surges towards your ship, gathers around switchable electro-magnets, fizzes magma into nothing and creates gas when brought into contact with water.

Enemies that release trails of ice or gas are brought into the mix, as well as power-up suits that allow your ship to release streams of magma or water and grapple chunks of land or ice, or that invert your magnetic polarity or heat sensitivity. PixelJunk Shooter is a constant conveyor-belt of fun toys and exciting domino-chain interactions. It's part retro videogame, part chemistry set; part Geometry Wars, part Zelda. Only rarely does it fully explore the potential of all these different elements, but to Q's credit, that's because each idea is hastily dispatched in favour of something new. Nothing in PixelJunk Shooter outstays its welcome, even the three clever boss battles.
