SCEA brings the Pain, Jeopardy

Oh, and the FIFA 09 demo rules, I must get that game... :o

PAIN! It has trophies now but they are frnakly ridiculous hard :(

teamfear Posted Sep 12, 2008 5:18 pm PT I don't see whats so great about these rhythm games. That's all it is Simon on a plastic guitar. Instead of beeps you get music. I love music and i play guitar a little and i have no interest in these games. I know they are hugely popular but i just don't get why. ---- Because your friends can get together, even with little to know musical talent, kick back a few and start rocking out the easy way. Via colors and rhythm to songs they know. Social gaming is taking off and learning curves are what people hate. Thats why the whole 2 buttons the Wii has makes it easy. Girls dont get confused with the whole finger to eye cordination :P

15 bucks, wow

@kubiak Actually, yeah, CDs really are still $17... that is why I buy all my albums at Amazon MP3. No DRM, and a full album is usually only 8-10 bucks. :)

The GH:A demo is awesome! I need to buy PAIN:AP though... on the menu it's staring at me. Yelling "BUY ME NOW!!!!" I'm trying to resist, but I'll end up getting it sooner or later.

$17.99 is a bit ridiculous. Do cd's even cost that much anymore?

I'm surprised when it comes to PSN content that these are the things that GameSpot decides to talk about (I'm guessing they get a nice chunk of change everytime they evoke the words "Rock Band" or "Guitar Hero" on their website). Why they even feel that PAIN of all other horrible games deserves some journalistic attention for additional content completely baffles me and I can only guess they got a check from SCEA for that too. I feel that Siren: Blood Curse is one of the most ignored PSN games to grace the PS3, and despite my opinion that it's one of the best PS3 games to reach that console it gets absolutely no journalistic attention on GameSpot other than the one mention in the frequent "shipping out" headlines. At the very least it deserves some kind of mention like it not being available at retail in North America though it's getting a tangible retail version made available in Japan and Europe, but it doesn't even get that. I'm not angry that rated it 7/10 'cause I like it and that's all I need to know, but I can imagine their frustration was mostly over the 20-something step installation process that took... longer than any two longest MGS4 cutscenes, but besides all that the game was actually pretty tops for survival horror and is about the only survival horror on the PS3 besides Condemned 2.

Cool! I loved Pain! :D

Why can Guitar Hero defy the day the store/marketplace weekly update but no one else can. Is Activision shoveling money into unspecified Swiss bank accounts of certain people or what?

I just got Amusement Park... it's freakin' awesome.

awsome, amusment park sounds kool :D

I'll take it.
