Ex: "Assuming you didn't wait until the very last minute to file your taxes, you should probably expect to receive your refund sometime this month if you haven't gotten it already. According to USA Today, for those of you fortunate enough to have a real job, the average tax refund from 2009 was $3,036. Three grand is a substantial amount of money, and since it's free (note: it's not really free) you should use it as superfluously as possible.
Ignore the naysayers who say you should put it towards your kid's college fund or put it in a CD at your bank. They don't know anything.
With all that money burning a hole in your pocket, it's time to be financially irresponsible. So why not spend some (or all) of it on the following, top tier video game titles being released in May?"
GB: "With this feature, we talk about 15 games on the PS3 that should be remade for the PlayStation 5."
Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.
Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.
A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.
Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.
Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.
I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.
Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.
I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.
Rockstar Games’ shiny new Red Dead Redemption port is now on GTA+, and you can play it while claiming some tasty GTA Online benefits.
Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime
One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.
Improvements have been made to the stability of the game
I still think this release was a big waste of time. I would have been a day 1 purchaser if they had redone the game w RDR2 graphics. I still own my PS3 copy, so don't see the point in picking this up if it's minimally improved.
They should have released the game in its current state not the state it launched in. Obvious we all wanted this to be a expansion to rdr 2 given that the original map was already remade in the game lots of people though this was just going to be added in later as paid DLC.
Now the game runs at 4k 60 fps on ps5 and can be brought on sale it's actually worth playing.
At launch the game was priced far to high and was a ps360 era game that couldn't run at 60 fps.
I'm in no way a frame rate snob I defended games like tears of the kingdom in the past for being 30 fps experiences but rdr was a joke at launch
Haha, I sure as hell didn't get back 3 grand this year. Funny article though. Def gonna buy several of these games.
Three thousand bucks might be a bit of a stretch for most gamers (as far as tax refunds go), but it turns out the stat is actually correct:

Crazieness.
That said, I'm getting back like 1500 so I'm going to get all of those games except for SKATE.
I assume at least 60% of the people on here are not even old enough to know what a tax refund is. They just think money comes from daddy's pockets or mommy's hand, which just comes out from being in daddy's pocket.
I don't get my refund before June. I get 2.6k back :> and I will put them in the bank...or will I now?
