Is BTTF any good? Obviously I know the movie plot, I mean the game.

Even if the reviews sucked, I wouldn't care - it's Free!!!

Can't wait to try it out.

It's fun. The controls suck. But the storytelling is fun. It plays out like Back to future 4.

Something will happen and then you choose what to say or do next, trying to solve puzzles by interacting with the background and people.

And, 60 attainable trophies including Platinum (Disc Version anyway).

Glad I still have Resistance 3, will definitely be getting those free goodies.

Gotta love this free Symphony Filter action. Time to plug back in my old CRT and fry some grunts with the infamous taser gun. Burn baby burn!

Agreed. The gameplay itself isn't much but if you like BTTF you should enjoy the story. Can't beat the price

Now if Sony would give us a new Syphon Filter game things would be so much better with the world. LOL!

House of the Dead 3 (Feb 7) and 4 (Spring) coming to PSN with Move Support

I’m going to just jump right into this one: The House of the Dead 3 is coming to PlayStation Network on February 7th, to be followed by The House of the Dead 4 in Spring 2012. Both titles have been updated with HD graphics, trophies, and complete PlayStationMove support to give you a full arcade HOTD experience in your living room. Boom. Yes. Awesome.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

Looks like those dual shot pistols I bought last Christmas may finally come in handy!

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

I have a Starhawk multiplayer public beta code up for grabs if anyone wants it. Came out of my uncharted 3 game. Don't know if it's still going on or not though. It just says early 2012 so, well yeah that's right about now I guess.

Different rules this time. First post after mine, that wants it of course, gets it.
Go!

[Blzer]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

I must have one then, too. What kind of game is it? Because I don't think I'm all that interested in it myself.

[Chef Matt]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

Not sure Blz, the art on the page makes me think it's some kind of shooter.
