Posted by Grace Chen // Director, PlayStation Store:
This week the PlayStation store is packed with hot games like BioShock Infinite, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14, Army of Two: Devil’s Cartel and Tales of Graces f. Indie hits Terraria and Machinarium are hitting PSN and PS Vita respectively.
If you don’t have the budget for a new release this week, there are sales galore on some of the hottest franchises including Patapon, Sleeping Dogs, Deus Ex, Just Cause, PixelJunk and more!
ESTNN says: "If you're looking to get your fix outside of Mojang's popular sandbox, these games are some of the best the genre has to offer."
Twinfinite: “War may never change, but the prices of rare games do!”
"And lastly, famous Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling helped to create the action-RPG’s setting. What’s really fascinating, though, is that the game was partially financed by taxpayers from Rhode Island (which allegedly lost the state millions of dollars). Yikes!"
1. Now infamous Schilling
2. No allegedly, it did. And they couldn't pay it back.
3. What really lost the money wasn't the SP release but the MMO they were working on. This was supposed to be an introduction into the MMO world.
I hate counting limited editions for these lists. I mean, they're made to be rare and expensive. It's far more interesting to hear about the NCAAs (even if most people know that one already) and the El Chavos than some massive hit that came with a $200 statue at retail.
Me too. Here's the best I can do:
El Chavo Kart $90.14
NCAA Football 14 $87.72
Spiderman: Edge of Time $75.94
Spiderman Web of Shadows $75.09
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions $67.76
Wow, El Chavo Kart is not at all what I expected by the name. 100% looks like a Sackboy Kart game.
It's so odd that so many Spider-Man games are seemingly given lower print runs, even if they're not the best games.
Most Xbox games don’t hold as much value compared to other systems. Kameo, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant , and a handful or 2 of other games that I kept.
One of the biggest TV and movie tropes in the last decade has been the multiverse, the idea of exploring multiple dimensions to uncover alternate versions of existing ideas. From both a business and creative perspective, it makes sense why established franchises are shaking things up in this way.
However, there aren't many video games latching on to this trend, as rendering multiple worlds in real-time is a difficult feat and the medium is relatively young in comparison to its contemporaries, making crossover opportunities more difficult. Still, there are a few great titles that manage enough to overcome these challenges, and here are some of the best examples.
While I love someone mentioning Planescape, not really multiverse. Planes and dimensions, yes. But, they are typically their own locations and are very rarely tied to another 'verse' let alone another plane. The only things that are directly tied are the ethereal and material planes. Otherwise, they are dimensions created of their own design and goals by the creator/owner and not comprised of 'their own version of another dimension'.
Disgaea 3, I've waited for you all darn month... But now I get to try you out. :)
Machinarium has me exicted too.
Downloading DG3 : D Machinarium is next.
Well, I think its time for me to get Dos Equis: Human Revolution. Only $10 count me in because I've wanted to try this game for a while now.
Playstation Needs To Have Sales Like This Every Month.
I'll have no problem spending more than 50 to get 10 back because of this update. :)
