I'm probably confused. I'm probably thinking of the Pacman CE's second game/Galaga Legions. Pacman CE from the little I played of it didn't click with me the way the original Pac-man did. Maybe I've just missed the boat on the Pac-man craze.

Unbound Saga for £3.99? Tempted...

Yeah, I picked it up - seems to run smoother than the PC version did for me, less framerate dips (although they're still occasionally present during hectic moments) and I haven't had as many problems with lag. The default control sensitivity felt really off to me, I had to play around with the slider a lot to get it right.
For anyone wondering what your £11.99/14.99 gets you;
4 classes;
The Gunslinger - speed loading revolver good for close to medium range combat, his trait is fanning which allows a faster rate of fire at the cost of accuracy. He radiates an accuracy synergy effect to all teammates.
The Trapper - buffalo sniper rifle good for long range and a backup pistol, with her trait she lays traps and also radiates the incread critical chance synergy effect to teammates.
The Deputy - repeater carbine good for long to medium range and a backup revolver, the deputy's trait allows him to tag enemies making them visable to everyone on his team, plus he radiates the increased damage synergy effect.
The Blaster - shotgun good for close range plus a backup revolver, his trait allows him to throw dynamite charges and he radiates the armor synergy effect to teammates.
7 game types;
Conquest (both teams compete to conquer multiple zones, however the zones must be conquered in sequence - a, b, c, etc)
Gold Fever (co-operative game type for 2 players where you try to collect as many sacks of gold before endless waves of AI overwhelm you)
Greed (both teams compete to collect the most sacks of gold and return them to their base)
Practice
Powder Keg (attacking team must place and detonate poweder kegs to destroy objectives)
Robbery (the attacking team must steal sacks of gold from the defending team and return them to their base)
Shootout (standard team deathmatch)
7 maps;
Bad Blood Valley (conquest, greed, shootout)
Deadwater Ranch (conquest, greed, powder keg, shootout)
Devil's Pit (conquest, robbery, shootout)
Fort Turnbull (conquest, greed, shootout)
Harvest Hill (gold fever, practice)
Prospector's Peak (conquest, greed, powder keg, shootout)
Sinner's Gulch (conquest, greed, shootout)
Apparently VidZone releasing today too. No source cited though.

Yeah, the framerate is definetly better - the lag's probably going to be subjective though, it's still P2P based and i've had one game out of a dozen so far where the connection dropped and booted everyone from the room (incidently, there's no host migration).

Lost Planet 2 Multiplayer demo sounds good. I will probably pass on everything else unless Lead and Gold grabs my attention. From what everyone is saying, sounds better and better.

Cool Gravity Crash at £3.99 WELL worth it for that price, anyone agree?
Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess! is pretty great and I absolutely recommend it. Just don't download it expecting a classic platformer. The video on the PS blog entries pretty much shows what it's all about. Normally I'm not motivated by scores and medals but here you unlock pretty funny scrapbook entries. The soundtrack is also very good.

I'm fucked if any more games use the other DRM system
"One time fee for use of download solely by the purchasing account only on up to five PS3 systems. Not more than one activated PS3 system within a 24 hour period. Product may not be used by any other account. You must sign in to PlayStation Network at each start up"
because:
My actual gaming (Trophies, friendlist, nickname etc.) account is not the account(s) I'm buying games with.
Won't buy games with this DRM, also this isn't nice if games are only available in foreign regions like the US store I buy many of my PSN games from.
It's very stupid as we know they can also use 24 hour lock w/o restricting to one account only.
also the other restrictions like not being able to play this offline (and when PSN is down etc.) just suck.
Of course the actual anti-sharing part, the 24hour lock (at least for mp games) is fine. But it's still a bummer for me as I will never be able to convince my buddies to all buy the same coop/mp game (which was no problem due to game sharing with close people) and this means less buys from me for games focusing on that.

I was surprised to see that Lead and Gold is coming to PSN.
I've seen some pics in PC threads, it's looks pretty cool - kind of like a wild west Team Fortress 2. If impressions are positive I'll probably get it.
I gotta get that Uncharted 2 DLC too...hopefully we'll be getting the Just Cause 2 monster truck as well.

yeah, I added that in my edit as well.
Especially if you have no say in it like PSN downtimes or if they discontinue PSN on PS3 like MS did with Live on the Xbox. This would mean you can't play this game you bought again EVER (if they aren't bc on PS4).
lupinko said:
IMO yes, only FF for now.
btw. go figures which publisher would be the first to use it, eh?
edit: oh, I would be kinda ok with it if this is a release-only thing and later they change the DRM (via patch&new version in store) to the standard DRM system.
E.g. Warhawk was also patched to allow more than one local account (while keeping the 24 hour lock).

Thanks for the info! Sounds good!Bootaaay said:
My only worry is the online community. I'm not sure if this game will have a lot of players online. I'd get this game if I knew the community will be active. It feels like this will be one of the better games that will be overlooked, which is a shame.

It could be coming soon. We are finally starting to see some of the 50 promised titles that were announced when the Minis program was.
Uno, for instance is finally coming (albeit not as a Mini) and Icon Game games is finally getting around to putting out Arcade Darts (not exactly a title anyone was waiting for, but still they had appeared to drop the Minis program in favor of Wiiware, but I guess they decided to finally give Minis a try afterall)

Has to be said that this new DRM is complete fucking bullshit, and Sony are at fault for even allowing developers to implement it. Needless to say I won't be buying any more Capcom games on PSN if this is the route they are going down.
Yeah. I'll never buy any game with that shit over it. I won't buy a game that only I, and not the rest of my family, can play. That's just fucking up the consumer to punish those game-sharing fuckers.dallow_bg said:
I hope it fails hard.
The PSP is completely dead in the West. There's no point in advertising it anymore.Lindsay said:
Hell, PJM Deluxe UMD will retail for $10 at launch.
Lindsay said:
SCEA does suck. As for Kevin Butler PSP commercials you can see him pimping out the PSP Modnation Racers release in his latest commercial. Clearly highlighting the fact that's it'll likely be a quality product developed by San Diego Studio using the WipEout Pure/Pulse engine, as well as riding on the coat-tails of the highly successful Mario Kart DS.
You can see them mention it if you sit really close to the screen and make sure not to blink.
As for Sony not bothering to promote the PSP, Microsoft still advertises the 360 in Japan, despite the fact it does worse there than the PSP does here.

Anyone up for a quick start-to-finish Maguc Sword coop game until the store goes up? If so send an invite to RedNumberFive.
