Avoid Tony Hawk's HD like the plague.

Pity that. Used to love Tony Hawk on the PS2.

Is the Back to the Future game any use?

It's OK. It's a point a click "adventure" with some better than average graphics. I paid for it on release as I had fond memories of the movies.

I enjoyed the game but only played half way through the final episode. Never went back to finish it.

good price for siren: blood curse and might get stranger's wrath despite having it on xbox

tok9 · 24-04-2013 03:45PM

Seems as good a time as any to pick up Beyond Good and Evil. Sound Shapes looks good too and I'll add Thomas Was Alone from IGC.

DesperateDan · 24-04-2013 03:51PM

Tony Hawk's HD is okay, certainly worth 6 quid for nostalgia sake. It's like bits from the first 3 games with sexier textures, but ever so slightly buggier gameplay and only about 12 songs from those games

Taltos · 24-04-2013 03:52PM

Loved BG&E - very tempted to pick that one up.

Definitely enjoyed the game. Well worth it at that price. Played through the whole thing and enjoyed it. Helps if you're a fan of the films:D

sweetie · 24-04-2013 06:11PM

I got bg&e on Xbox recently. Felt very dated to me

Anyone actually played Sound Shapes?

Yep. It's all about the Beck levels which contain some of the best art, sound and gameplay you could hope to come across. Rest of the game cannot compete. Trophy levels are infuriatingly addictive, though, and haven't checked to see how the player content has worked out.

Noticed Thomas Was Alone is on the PS+ collection there

imitation · 27-04-2013 11:53AM

Took the plunge and got it this month, mass effect 3 piqued my interest, but I already have it. Then okami came up, I could pay €20 for a download copy, or 50 quid and get it and a year full of random games, seemed an easy choice

I'm loving okami, the art is really nice and its pretty fun.

Of course now I have all these free Vita games so I'm getting tempted there now, damn you Sony and your evil genius !

Is Hitman coming on psn+ this Wednesday seeing as it would be may?

Yes

MitchKoobski · 28-04-2013 07:07PM

Just finished Okami there after playing it for a week straight. My god what a game.

Completely passed it when it was on PS2 because I looked at it as just some artsy game I would hate, and expected it to last around 8 hours at most.

I loved the combat, the story was great, I got that repeating "I'll just get to one more save point" feeling that's so rare to get with a game. What I expected to be a 6 hour game expanded into a 30+ hour adventure that I had no idea about.

Bad points? The dialogue. Oh the dialogue itself is fine, it's the system for it. Text you have to read voiced by warbling and womping sounds that get annoying after 5 minutes. You can skip through most of it once you've read it, but sometimes you have to wait for it to pass on the screen in "real-time". The 20-minute introduction to the game at the start is the worst instance, but you get used to it.

One of the most beautiful, engrossing and unique games I have ever played though. I think it it's still there until Thursday. DOWNLOAD IT WHILE YOU CAN!

LuckyFinigan · 28-04-2013 08:03PM

Really must try Okami, sounds interesting. I haven't had a chance to play any of the recent ps+ stuff. Between all the free games and ones I've bought on sale, I've built up quite the backlog, I suppose it's a good complaint to be making, I wont be stuck for something to play anytime soon.

do UK psn plus subscription codes work in ireland or are they the same as psn cards.

28-04-2013 08:49PM

noob question about ps+. Once I subscribe for a year say and download a game onto memory card on vita can I erase it to make room for other games later on and re download that game again sometime. Is it 'stored' on my account until my sub runs out?

Yeah you can do that, it's fine as long as you keep up your subscription.

UK cards don't work if your PSN account is set to Ireland.

No, but you can set up a UK account and use it on that. Games downloaded will still work on your Irish account. Only thing is, you'll need to top up the sub on the UK account.

ah was just wondering cause amazon are giving away fifa on the vita for free if you bought a certain item and a 90 day sub was the cheapest item on the list.

Set up a UK account buy two of the 90 day subs and trade one FIFA in. Ah Fcuk it's a code for FIFA, not worth the hassle IMO.

Is there anywhere to get a list of all the ps+ games out and coming out. Also does ps+ back date or can I only download games that are out from when I start a subscription. Thanks

This thread. Read it. All the info is there on current games.

It doesn't back date, although that info is here too.

ShadowHearth · 29-04-2013 08:57PM

Lads, I know I will sound like an idiot, but can someone explain plus service?

You pay subscription, for which you get discounts on games? I see some games announced free for plus subscribers. How does that work? Can you just download it and play those games as long as you got sub?

I am asking as I am planing on getting a TV for my mancave and dust off ps3 until ps4 or/and Wii u . if I can get some games just from sub, then it would be very handy for me. I don't want to buy any extra games now.

Pretty much on the money. You pay for your subscription, each month you get some free games, that you can play for as long as you have a subscription. For example, in the last couple of months, I have gotten Sleeping Dogs, Mortal Kombat, F1 Team Racers, and a pox load more for no extra cost. Hitman and Catherine are out next month for free. There is also discounts on games that you can buy.

eddhorse · 29-04-2013 10:05PM

"Thomas was alone" is excellent, reminds me if Tetris mixed with Limbo !

The story is quirky , sound is great and puzzles/platforms are tricky but not over difficult.

eddhorse · 29-04-2013 11:16PM

Not sure if it applies to here :

@PlayStation: Get $100 off a PS3 bundle http://t.co/SwfTsx9gtn or PS Vita bundle http://t.co/LTZ3EZaYol with PS Card. And earn 10x points on PSN purchases
