Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Sonic on PSN?

...the hell? That's so strange. Not as strange as sonic on the Wii or DS... but still strange.

Is that a PSN game as well? Sounds like something I'd look into...

It's on both 360 and PS3. Great collection of games.

It is great and well worth the $30.

I think Flower looks fun, but not worth $10. Hopefully it will go on sale for $5 sometime, then I'll get it.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

This just amazes me. Just picked up Hot Shots golf again because someone informed me that you can voice chat one-on-one in the game. Didn't realize that it's just on one setup (match play for 9 holes). The PS3 is so far behind the 360. I can't believe that this system doesn't give us this capability yet to chat with a friend when you play any game. Seriously, who is going to sit in a chat room the whole time and not play a game? My friend and I had to turn on our 360's just to chat so we could play 18 holes of golf against each other so we didn't have to text chat. It's ridiculous. Has there been any announcement at all when this will finally work and we'll be able to chat while playing any game we want?

Agree, Sony should ditch the whole "Home" thing and concentrate on adding features to PSN that people want/would use. I understand the concept of Home (basically The Sims on PS3) but seriously its just not worth it.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

"Home" isn't the issue.

The development studios need to add voice chat in when they are making the game and quit treating the PS3 like it's a bare bones system.

I ment "Home" as in resources (programmers) that are going towards Home could be used to add functionality to PSN that people want. The concept of Home is great but it should stay as a concept.

There's not much left too add to what PSN could do. It's really up to developers to take advantage of it.

Games like Resistance 2, Killzone 2, Resident Evil 5, actually use your friends list to send in game invites (much like the 360).

Voice chat in games - that's all on the developers.

The main thing left to do is give us a firmware update that allows every system to have Backwards Compatibility.

I thought that was a hardware issue? I feel like if it's software related and that easy, they would have taken care of it already.

Eurogamer: Noby Noby Boy Review - 9

But you don't even need to succumb to Noby Noby Boy's many surface charms to appreciate its genius. By some combination of cunning and magic, it makes you a child again. It helps you rediscover the bottomless fascination and joy you had in discovering the properties of string, or sand, or animals, or Newtonian physics for the very first time. It makes you free to play, and happy to make your own entertainment, for hours on end.

And in case you're still unsure if it's for you - in case you were thinking of denying yourself a chance to feel like that again - let me say one more thing: it costs less than lunch.

One thing is for sure about PSN: they sure are providing some unique games recently. I really enjoyed the Katamari games, so maybe I'll give this a look.

PSN really does have a lot of great games. I think this is where Sony is beating Microsoft.
