Two years into the lifespan of the PlayStation 3, Sony's online offerings are a mixed bag.
On the plus side, LittleBigPlanet and its energetic community of amateur level designers make it essential for PS3 owners to have an internet connection.
On the minus side, there's PlayStation Home, the drab, under populated virtual world that's drawn almost universal derision since its beta launch in November.
And then there's the PlayStation Network, whose library of software, game add-ons and movies has grown at a healthy clip over the last year.
Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.
Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.
That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.
Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.
I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
Luminous or Cubiod?
Which is a better buy.
bs everytime i log into home its packed with people
:)
Aww, there I was thinking this title meant they were making a new Devil Dice/XI/Bombastic sequel on PSN with possible online play... :(
As a couple of people have already said home is packed full of people daily! Yeah ok i think when it first came out people were exspecting some massive world to ramble about in with an emormous about of free games and things to do. This didnt happen but what we have got is a great place to meet other like minded gamers. You will always have the odd few that wanna spoil it but like any annoyance ignore it and it goes away lol. Ive met some great people all over the world that i would never have met otherwise! This has to be a good thing surely? and there is stuff to do and much more stuff coming over time. I think in a year it will be a totally different places as it evolves, and when more and more companies dont wanna be left out of this great innovation! and btw i saw an article the other day trying to compare it to xboxs avatars! I almost wet myself. Now xbox is ok but i just dont think its ever gonna break any great boundries as im sure tha ps3 will and well already has! all in all i just think people need to give support and time to these new ideas without jumping on em like a pack of dogs!
