Nothing good in the gold box

They had Batman AA but I was too late to the party. I would've bought that one.

SWEET!

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

That game doesn't quite look like my cup of tea, though I love and still religiously play ZEN Pinball. I just wish they'd release more tables (for those that have the game, check out their Ninja Gaiden 2 table in the store).

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

I hope that mini-golf game is good, I've always wanted a creative mini golf game to play. I don't really want to use the Playstation Move controller, so hopefully the regular controller controls work good. The courses look pretty good, though actually I'd prefer the characters to be a little more cartoony than they are.

I think today's PSN Store Update is supposed to have the first 3 chapters of the Blue Toad Murder Files game. It looks a bit pricey but I think I'm going to get it anyway. From the vids I've seen, it looks like a fun whodunit to play.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Ill be getting the Wakeboarding game and Carrie Underwood,One Republice for Rock Band, the Zen Pinball add on and maybe Hampsterball.

[Eton Rifles]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Anyone know anything about the Blue Toad game?

[Blzer]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Oh cool, new ZEN Pinball table! Just when I said they don't release enough haha. I'll be all over that and OneRepublic on Rock Band. I'll have to watch some gameplay videos of the wakeboarding game to see if it has a bunch of replay value, because $14.99 is kind of a lot.

[Admiral50]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Wakeboarding is pretty disappointing. Physics are almost non-existant, the waves are average and the animation skips when your boarder hits the peak of the wave, plus the animation and basic control when going far left or right feels like a flash web game.

Have never heard a thing about Anarchy Rush Hour. I guess that's not a good sign.

[aukevin]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Anyone know anything about the Blue Toad game?

I bought it and played through the first chapter, it's not quite what I expected. It's a puzzle game based around a murder, but you really don't do any kind of investigation. You just solve these puzzles that seem like word problems in elementary school. I played through the first chapter twice, everything is exactly the same. So there really is no replay value either unless you go back trying to pick up trophies like I did. The puzzles are kind of fun and make you think, but they aren't hard at all, the only hard part is getting them solved fast enough for a gold medal.

[rspencer86]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

I like the sound of that Zen Pinball table, I'll have to pick that up.

[RoyalBoyle78]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

when we had that PSN issue about a month ago, I lost game saves, why?

I was almost done with Uncharted 2 and I just went to play it and my save is gone. WTF

Wow you lost saves? That is horrible.

I transfer all the saves that can be transferred onto my flash drive once a month. Not going to get screwed over again.

I transfer all the saves that can be transferred onto my flash drive once a month. Not going to get screwed over again.

yeah, I lost some of my downloaded games saves, and my UC2 save, I was on the 23 chapter, I don;t wanna play the whole thing again, I wish I can find someone who has that 23rd chapter saved.
