Snakeball IGN Review

IGN:
"If any of you have perused the PlayStation Store recently, you may have noticed a free demo for Snakeball available for download. What you may not have realized is that the full game is also available for ten dollars. As far as we can tell, the only way to buy the game is to download the demo and purchase the full game from within the demo itself. This somewhat convoluted method of delivery is unfortunate because Snakeball is a fun title and people should definitely take a look at it. Be wary though: this article contains the word "balls" a few too many times and may induce immature jokes. You've been warned."

European PS Store update for 1st May

"So far since the launch of the new PS Store, European has seen it's fair share of good quality updates. Certainly, the situation appears to be much better than before and SCEE seem to be coming good on their promise that they would 'sort the situation out' by the Summer.

It would be a shame, therefore, to see a lacklustre update this week, wouldn't it?"

Not a very good update, No demos, Oh well theres allways the american Store

Ben10545854d ago

the new cars for need for speed?
most importantly have you seen the price?
they are 2pounds each, thats equivalent to $4 just for 1 car, that is such a con.
I think that i might give sarcastic gamer a ring

paul_war5854d ago

OK, I am getting really annoyed now.

Where is the Oblivion expansion????

We even had a trailer for it released a couple of months back, but still nothing!

BeaArthur5854d ago

Hopefully the US update will get all those themes. I love free themes, *hint *hint Microsoft.

Bigbangbing5854d ago (Edited 5854d ago )

there is some free themes on 360
but you cant compare the 360 theme and ps3 theme
i mean the 360 theme have 3 photo and theme for the in game xmb
the ps store themes have only one photo and some icons
and i don't mean the user created theme on the web

BeaArthur5854d ago

Although I will agree with you that I like the 360 themes better, I don't want to pay 3 or 4 dollars for them. And the only free ones are usually pretty crappy.

crck5854d ago (Edited 5854d ago )

Like the Ratchet and Clank theme. Btw I'd rather take a one picture theme over a 3 picture theme with ads plastered all over it. But what would be cool is if Sony allowed for more then one picture set to wallpaper and allow them to randomly appear.

BeaArthur5854d ago

crck...do you mean like the God of War theme? Or do you mean one that randomly changes while you are already online. Because either way it could make them more appealing.

blusoops5854d ago

some of the user generated themes you can get for free online have multiple pictures for backgrounds. This means that every time you turn on ur PS3 you get a different background pic...or everytime you get out of a game back to the xmb, you get a different pic aswell. I've seen some w/up to 10 different backgrounds for the same theme.

RacingX5854d ago (Edited 5854d ago )

@ crck & Beaarthur

The new EoJ themes & the new Lair themes change to a different shot every time the XMB comes up, I'm sure they'll start doing it with more. Some of the EoJ art is nice....if you like the fantasy type stuff. Worth a check...theres always the delete button...

Keowrath5854d ago

nbnt, I disagreed. Killzone2 theme has multiple images. I use that theme on my US account and was surprised to see a different background from the previous one I was expecting.

to be worried about the store updates for a while :)

avacadosnorkel5854d ago

but I don't see another sandbox game knocking GTA out of the rotation until Mercs2 is released

jackhammer065854d ago

I really hoped that the Haze demo will be coming with this update......Oh Well,just have to wait......

jones smokey5854d ago

were can i get cheats for gta4 on ps3, the cheats i got are too small and i cant find any other website

EZCheez5854d ago (Edited 5854d ago )

I've already started messing around with some of the cheats. I just turn the sleep mode on and commence to wreak havoc throughout the town without saving.

I miss the tank though. It doesn't feel the same causing chaos without a tank. Helicopters only do so much.

On topic, I doubt any region will get anything incredible this week considering it will merely be overshadowed by GTA4. When I'm at work all I can think about is getting the kids to sleep and playing some more. Especially now that the online is up.

European PSN updates for December 27th

There's no American PSN update for today, unfortunately, so we'll have to rely on Sony Europe to deliver some nice Christmas goodies for us; which they have. Not a lot, by any means, but we certainly used to dream of the days when we'd get three demos a week. Here's the full release list:

Super Stardust HD demo "and upgrade" (free)
The Club demo (free)
Snakeball demo (free) - now on the UK store

conjurdevil5980d ago

The club Demo???!?!??!..where did this come from?

Jdash245980d ago

Mr_Kuwabara5980d ago

Probably got lazy or are planning something good for next week....

ravinash5979d ago

usually the us site is ahead of the UK site, so Its probably just us catching up once the licenses cleared.

SeanScythe5980d ago

Remember that PSN game, Snakeball?

PS3Fanboy writes: "Snakeball was originally scheduled for release on the PSN last summer. And then it mysteriously vanished, never to be seen or heard from again.

Wait. But we just spotted an update to the US PlayStation website which highlights screenshots from the long-forgotten PSN game. Could it be coming up for a surprise stealth release? This downloadable title is inspired by the ubiquitous Snake, popularized by its overabundant presence in early cell phones. With sharp visuals, a cute style, and support for four-player split-screen multiplayer, there's a lot to be excited about. And do we see support for the Eye? Yes we do".
