EWB's Best Poster. Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Ah yes. The game where you can choose what you want, expand how you want then gives you bosses only hurt by one type of gun. I would agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruki Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Alpha Protocol has some of the coolest concepts and ideas out there that is genuinely love to see implemented elsewhere, but the execution here is fucking horrendous. That's how I feel about it. Like, if it wasn't for the gameplay, it would have been a great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 It was £2, so I thought that if I was ever going to try it, it would be now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenged Probably Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 I agree with all of the above points but even with the terrible gameplay I found the story to be incredible and well worth slugging through the shit. Definitely give it a go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaney Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 It's definitely worth a go through Liam but as said if you decided to play as any certain type other than this one specific build then you'll be fucked near end game. It's ridiculous and no reason for it but eh. I loved being able to set up the way you want to attack each level but the combat was like trying to thread a needle blindfolded, with oven gloves on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meacon Keaton Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Sportsfriends doesn't have online? Laaaaaaaaaaaaame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyWill Rumble Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 It is kinda lame, but I think Sportsfriends is a game that loses virtually all of its charm when there isn't someone to shit-talk and punch in your immediate vicinity. I categorize that as "Smash Bros./Mario Kart" style multiplayer—fine online, but infinitely more fun local. Also, does Guacamelee survive on more than just its rad art style and meme-y ass jokes? I played the demo at an EB and generally enjoyed its franticness and thought the combat was pretty good, but not, like, say a Mark of the Ninja, or anything like that. I loved the art style, but I can't tell if the game will wear thin eventually. I'm looking for a game to play with the ladyfriend when we grab another controller. And though we have many an option with Steam/hooking my laptop up to HDMI, but having a few things on the PS4 would be rad too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWB's Best Poster. Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Yeah, its actually pretty great. Good flow and great story. Fully back playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWho87 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Just looking through the Sony Store site and noticed Theme Hospital is going for free, is this a recent thing, either way I'll have to boot up the PS3 tonight to grab this is its legit.

Kaney Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Is there anyway these days that will still buy PS2 games? I'm cleaning out all my old shit and came across loads of them. I know eBay is always there but it's such a hassle sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ellis Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 CEX for a pittance. Like, I think they'll still sell the GTA's for a tenner or something since obviously they are amongst the most popular titles on there, but they might only give you a pound or two credit. Though, I suppose that's not too bad for an old PS2 game. But I think outside of the most popular stuff you'd be getting down to 25p or something. Out of curiosity, what have you got? Or any other stuff for that matter like PS1 or Gameboy or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanky316 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 It's so late into generations now I'd say keep them, if the console is bust you can get a replacement for £15/20 these days and sell on value would be minimal. I say this as someone who still buys new Spectrum games occasionally, I won't get rid of this stuff unless I NEED to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ellis Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 PS2 has never been something I've been into collecting since it went into retirement after I got my 360. Since my system was semi dead, it's not as easy to play games on, whereas if I find a cheap PS1 game I can always use it on the PS3. Slimline PS2's always seem relatively expensive and at that point, I'd rather just use that money on something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ellis Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 October PS+! 7th for US and 8th for Europe except for Drive Club which seems to be the 10th for the UK. DRIVECLUB PlayStation Plus Edition (PS4) Dust: An Elysian Tail (PS4) Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3) Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara (PS3) Spelunky (PS4/PS3/PS Vita Cross Buy) Pix the Cat (PS Vita/PS4 Cross Buy) Rainbow Moon (PS Vita/PS3 Cross Buy) Looks like a really sweet set there. Arkham Asylum I imagine a lot of people will have already played but if you haven't, a really cool game. Dust was on the 360's free program recently and is a decent Metroidvania type game if you can look past it being a bit furry. Always heard good things about the D&D beat em ups so it'll be nice to give those a try, potentially with multiplayer? The trouble with things like Turtles, Simpsons and X-Men on 360 was no one was willing to buy them unless they were mega cheap because they've got limited re-playability but if everyone gets it free then there's no problem. Spelunky I've always meant to try after seeing people like Eddie and Kou play it on Twitch, Rainbow Moon I seem to recall is a strategy RPG type thing so maybe good if you're into those FF Tactics, Disagea etc type games. No idea what Pix the Cat is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobfoc Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Spelunky is definitely the highlight there for me. Cross-buy means I can play it on the Vita, which would be my platform of choice for a game like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
