Good to know. I know my wife wants to get Arkham City when she's done with Arkham Asylum. Granted, it will be for the PC.

Don't know if they do the GOTY editions for PC, but I had heard that the latest Harley Quinn DLC is "to be determined" for PC - for what it's worth.

Yeah, but you know my feelings of Console vs. PC. That and I think she got use to the PC controls.

Be aware though, that like a lot of PSN+ material, I suspect these are only playable while you have an active PSN+ account. So don't plan on getting one month, downloading all the games and then canceling as you'll probably lose access to the games. Can't wait to play infamous 2. I'm going to download them all when I get home... well most of them. Hope 88 gigs left is enough space.​

HOAH BOY!!!



Although I personally didn't like Infamous. Controls were too "sticky" and not natural for me. Which sucked because it sounded like a cool story. But I've been itching to see what Little Big Planet looks like on the actual console (not the PSP version).

I can chime in on Warhammer 40k: Space Marine...



Fun game, not too long, much cooler if you like the WH40k universe, I think I downloaded for Xbox cor like 20$ and was worth it.

Infamous is an all-time favorite for me not necessarily because of the game play but the whole package. Story and art and originally all... I do understand what you mean by the controls, I played the long demo for Infamous 2 a while back and they did work on that a bit, and jammed a bunch more into it while making everything more beautiful and the environment much more responsive to your powers. It was better in everyway from what I could tell and I cna't wait to download it, there goes my weekend with all these games.I seriously almost bought Infamous 2 this weekend on PSN. Thank god I waited



I have Little Big People (as my wife and I call it for some reason) 1 for the wife and we've played that a bunch, I'm not sure the differences in two or it it will matter but hopefully the controls are more smooth as the little guys are really hard to control. SOme of these other games I'm really excited about because they are outside my realm for purchase but really would like to get into them, like warhammer and just cause.



There goes my weekend.

I know what you mean regarding games out of reach - I have never actually played a Ratchet and Clank and think I might give it a go.

My buddy Andy is a huge Rachet and Clank guy for some reason, just always liked it, and I got into it a bit as well. If that is the one I'm thinking of, one day just after it came out he decided to buy it and come over and just play the shit out of it for like a day and a half straight. He was on the road and staying with us for a couple of days so we had a shit load of fun with it.



One this I will say about it was that it was very hard for me to learn to be coordinated enough for it. you are running forward and back, stiffing, jumping shooting, changing weapons, and picking up these nuts and bolts that are bouncing all over the place constantly and distracting you. So it may be frustrating at first but it can be very fun. A good mix of puzzles, shooting, story, with a nice balance of kid and adult dialog. i don't know what to compare it to for you as I don't know too much about the games you currently play. Definitely check it out, I'm going to download it even though I think we have it almost platinum'd on my machine already. If it's the newer one then I haven't played it yet. They all kind of run together for me.

Ive been entertaining the idea of getting a zombie mod for that. I hope in arma 3 they had some melee, zombie mods kind of require some melee.
Yea it was difficult to adjust to at first, but doesn't really take away from the game now that I'm used to it and oriented to the game.



My first play through I was lost, with no ammo, and stumbled across a farm. I scanned the area for a good 5 minutes but no movement. I crept down to the barn, turned the corner, and bam right into a group of zombies inside a stall. I saw an ax stuck in some wood so I ran to it and tried to pick it up. Only then did I realize to my horror that there was no melee. My last thoughts before they ripped into my flesh were whyyyyyyyyyyyy.....yy..y.....

Yeah, I'm still downloading the shit as we speak, I hate how fucking slow the interwebs are, you'd think it wouldn't take 24 hours to download 40 gigs... **** you ATT. If you went to the store too early it hadn't updated yet. You probably missed it by just a bit. The entire PSN+ second on the store is different. I have downloaded InFamous2, Warhammer, LBP2, SaintsRow2 (don't really know anything about it), and am still in the process of downloading Rachet and Clank, Just cause two, and the other one by Konami, can't remember what it is called, it's a side scroller updated.

Guess I'll have to check later again tonight - just seems silly that at 4pm, they didn't have that shit up already. My goal was to get in there to get the DL'ing started while I ran other errands.



I hear the Saint's Row series is really Grand Theft Auto with ridiculousness, a less serious version.

Yea sort of. I still find it entertaining, and it's varied enough to not feel like I am taking another spin through the wash cycle ala GTA.

at 5:30 it was up. You gotta remember that this was an E3 announcement so they needed time to officially announce it, promote it, then they had to do an entire PSN store update. I was actually a little surprised it was up when I got home.
