PSN games?

[Shojin]

I have a ton of PSN games, minus a few that didn't interest me (like Brain Age etc). So feel free to message me with which ones interest you and I can give my honest opinion of them.

But a few I would recommend, but really depends on what type of thing you are in to:

SuperStarDust HD (great shooter, multiplayer)
The Last Guy (fun game, but gets VERY hard on later levels)
Flower (amazing visuals, and does a good job stirring emotions)
Calling All Cars (A fun little game, good to play with friends)
Pixeljunk Monsters & Eden (Pixeljunk series have a good reputation and are very fun)
Crash Commando (2D shooter, fun game to mess around with)
WipeOut HD (Lots of content, and comes with possible Platinum trophy, however it is very hard to get it)
Savage Moon (If you love tower defense games, this is a good choice)
Comet Crash (Again, tower defense game, but this time you attack back! I enjoy this game a lot)
Rag Doll Kung-Fu (A fun game to play with friends, not so much solo)
Bomberman ULTRA (It's Bomberman!!!)
High Velocity Bowling (If you like these types of games, it can be a lot of fun, multiplayer/online also)
Wolfenstein 3d (Old skool fix!)
Zen Pinball (I've always loved pinball games, so I am slightly biased, but it comes with 4 tables and is a decent game)
Age of Booty (Found it to be a lot of fun, a little pirate ship strategy game)

Games I've bought and regretted:
Blast Factor
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
Puzzle Quest
Noby Noby Boy (weeeeeeird game, but I bought it to support the creator, he's an awesome guy)

how can you not like super puzzle fighter? =(

[Tyche]

I liked Age of Booty (the pirate game) alot as well.

[Shojin]

Don't know how much Super Puzzle Fighter is now, but when I bought it (well my wife bought it), it was $10, definitely not worth that, lol. Fighting Akuma was fun though, I guess

EDIT: Yeah Tyche, I thought it got somewhat overlooked. Especially fun to play online against friends, and the story mode is actually pretty challenging and a lot of fun, although it is a little short

Is there a website that lists the PS1 games that are on PSN? After using VC on my Wii and XBL arcade, I'm getting spoiled with just downloading to my HDD and not being bothered with hooking up older system. I'm curious as to how many good PS1 games there are on there.

[Atreides]

there aren't a whole lot, at least not compared to what's available in Japan.

List of PSOne Classics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sadly, the only RPGs currently available in the US are Wild Arms, Suikoden, and Final Fantasy VII. Supposedly FFTactics will be released soon as well, as it just got re-certified by the ESRB.

[TacoTaru]

Thanks for that list. I certainly see plenty I'd be dropping money (hello first three Crash games). Sad to see so many RPGs on there I never got around to playing, but are only available in Japan . And sorry for hijacking your thread Bob <_<

my brother and I both have PS3s and while its frowned upon, if I were to buy a game, could it be installed on both systems?

[ninjafox]

They just added FFVII and Gunstar Heroes

[Qalbert]

hooray for more FF games

yes up to 5 systems

[Qalbert]

ok awesome.

[Kael]

Man that sucks. Japan has better listing D:

I'd take Xenogears, and Saga Frontier in a heartbeat if they were in America.

Not to mention many others.

Games You Probably Like, But Shouldn’t: Final Fantasy VII
Thought this was an interesting opinion piece.

Shameless plug.

Also, if it was you that wrote that particular article then for shame for not bothering to play Crisis Core. It is a great game, and not just because of it being related to FF7. Of course, it being a prequel and revealing a lot more of the relationship between Cloud/Zack/Sephiroth and the Zack/Aeris/Cloud love triangle was very interesting too. But I will agree that the plot of Advent Children was a little contrived and boring.

Nah, I didn't write it, and I've played and beaten Dirge, Crisis Core etc.

Not really. Dr. Robotnik's M.B.M is 10 times the game that will ever be. Prove me wrong.

Doesn't seem particularly interesting at all, tbh. I usually don't pay much attention to this, but I was impressed at how atrocious the writing on that article was.

That aside, it looks like the author is just annoyed at the realization that he used to be a mindless fanboy, and thinks the correction for this is to turn it into equally mindless distaste. I did find it kind of amusing that his article's title refers to it as a "Game you probably like, but shouldn't", but doesn't actually contain a single criticism of the actual game in the title bar (unless you count "other people like it" as a criticism).

Back on topic though, I do hope they add Xenogears on the US PSN. I still have the original CDs, so it's not a terribly huge deal, but it would be nice to have a digital copy of it. Haven't actually played it on a console (instead of in an emulator) in ages.

A couple others that I think are PSN exclusives (even though they were on PS1) that are fun:

Jet Moto
Twisted Metal 2

[Kaisha]

Metal Geaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar Solid 1 just came out on PSN, bit of an impulse buy.
