Tiger Woods' annual installment is packed so full of stats, variables and complexities that it makes even the most seasoned linksman overwhelmed. Thankfully there's always Hot Shots Golf to provide some lighter, more managable fair, and now that it's on the PS3, it looks better than ever. But is Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds the best Hot Shots yet? Eh, not quite, but it is good.
Old School and New School Hot Shots.
As with every previous Hot Shots title before it, Out of Bounds takes on a cartoony, almost childish look about it. The characters are pure anime, with big heads, even bigger eyes and tiny bodies to go along with them. The entire game has the uber-cute vibe about it that make many Japanese imports unpalatable to the Western audience, but the gameplay in Hot Shots has always been solid enough to break the barrier. The classic "power meter" style remains to this day, allowing you to set your distance and accuracy with 3 taps of the X button, making playing through a round much more relaxing than Tiger's analog stick shenanigans."

Will be picking up LBPK for 10 dollars. This might be the closest PS3 users will get to a steam sale on PSN.
A step in the right direction, Sony.
@Nitrowolf2, I have the Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank collections on Disc, but if I didn't that would be a great way to get into those games.
Unfinished Swan was on sale during the Holiday Essentials sale and I missed it, so this time I don't plan on doing that again.
The Unfinished Swan – Regular $14.99, Sale $7.49, PS Plus $3.75
Ratchet & Clank – Regular $14.99, Sale $7.49, PS Plus $3.75
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy – Regular $7.99, Sale $3.99, PS Plus $2.00
Already have the colelction, but since I'm Plus those prices are just to good to miss.
Those are the three I'm planning on getting :P
I think. lol.
Great sale!
Edit: LBP Karting looks fun too, though. Not sure whether to get LBPK and US or US, R&C, and J&D. I need a sale where all four of those cost $15 haha.
@Calis
Yeah I am, $2.00 is dirt cheap, it'll be nice to have the extra digital version.
Those are actually some really great PS Plus discounts, especially for the likes of LBP Karting and Unfinished Swan
What is that I read on the title? Games and MOVIES? can someone check up on that? is this true? or just a bad title..
SPC writes, "Like Uncharted: Drake's Fortune before it, recently Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots received a long-awaited patch, enabling trophies for prospective collectors to obtain. That sparked an interest in me to see what other games in the PlayStation 3 library that came out before Sony and third-parties' implementation of the trophy system. These five following games are ones that I would no doubt be interested in playing through again if such a trophy patch were to be included, though the likelihood is not that high."
Deployed last July for the Japanese edition, the patch adding Move and 3D support to the latest iteration of Minna No Golf is now available for the Western versions as well (namely Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds and Everybody's Golf: World Tour). First impressions and pics.
