Joint Strike just seems to fit into the pricing range somewhat awkwardly. At 400 points it would have been very good value, but at 800 it seems slightly overpriced.
However, if you've already played through and loved games like Ikaruga and Rez, than you'll probably find yourself enjoying Joint Strike, as will anyone looking for a solid, casual co-op experience.
PSU takes another look back at some of the digital delights found Inside PlayStation Network.
Capcom Europe has today announced a brand new price promotion for five of its most popular downloadable titles. European PlayStation Network members will be able to get hold of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD, Marvel VS Capcom 2, Super Puzzle Fighter, Age of Booty and 1942 for a reduced price over a set period in the coming months.
VGC writes: "Classic top-down shooters have always been a blast to play. Having to face off against wave after wave of multiple types of enemies at once has been the pinnacle of this genre. There have been many games, like Ikaruga, that have tried to change up gameplay mechanics, but most of the time the games always fall back onto the genre's core style. This isn't a bad thing though. It allows the player to reminisce about all the games of this genre that have came before it."
