Hey! So here I am, did as I said and updated my list, though I still have to rate several games and finish this big review I talked about way back then (remember it? I talked about writing a big review back then.. I still haven't finished with it, only because I never took the time to check out the online functions which I probable don't even remember my username and password for it). Anyway, as I first planned for my 2nd blog of my 2nd comeback, I'll write up about the games I got while I was out of GS and what not.
I'll start off with the PSN games I got and the way I'll do it will be simple. Sort of like a list, and I'll tell about each of them. All of them are on PS3, of course, unless I state otherwise.. anyway they are all on PS3 lol.
flOw (expansiOn)
Yep, I actually got flOw. I don't really know why I got this game, but I still did. It's a nice, relaxing and enjoyable game.. for a limited time. For those who haven't played it, you play as a sort of organism, flowing through the depths of the water, eating other small organisms. As you eat more of them, you grow larger, prettier and longer. Of course, you have predators, which will eat your cells (which are composed of your organisms). You can't actually die, you only get pushed back up one depth when all of your "cells" have been eaten, and then you can dive back down to continue your way. You don't even have to eat anything.. simply reaching the bottom where lies another species egg will grant you another organism, and you're done. That simple. Sounds boring, but sure is relaxing when you really don't know what to do.
Rayman
I got Rayman, which is the cla**ic game from PS1. I never actually played it much on my PS3, but is still a nice game to have around. Wandering around several levels, saving them little.. things.. whatever they are, and fighting against enemies by throwing your fist is always something funny to do.
Echochrome
Now that's one hell of a good puzzle game if you're into the genre. Everything is defined in black lines on a white background, and it's all about perspective. There is a hole you need to cross? Hide it with a piece of the landscape by moving the camera around and the hole no longer exists. Connect pieces by moving them around to give the impression they are connected together, and a bunch of other things like that. Another thing that's pretty cool is that they announced Trophy support, I'm just waiting for the patch to be released to enjoy the game some more ;p
Blast Factor (add-ons bundle)
This is another great arcade shooter released for PS3. You take control of a little ship, or something of the sort, and find yourself inside a small cell with enemies spawning around you. There are 3 different modes: Basic Research, Advance Research and Hybrid Mode. All 3 plays differently and I believe that Hybrid mode is a mix between the two other modes, I just haven't played Advanced Research yet, so I couldn't tell. As you clear more cells, you eventually get to a boss, and destroying the boss results in the Specimen being cleared. There are a total of 7 Specimens in Basic Research and 13 in Hybrid Mode, and if my theory is accurate, this makes a total of 6 Specimens in Advanced Research. If you like Super Stardust HD and other similar games, you definitely should give it a try.
Soldner-X Himmelssturmer
Stay far from this.. Unless you are an hardcore gamer who LOVES challenges. I, myself, who have always loved challenges and hard games (Ghosts 'N Goblins is a good reference as being one of my favorite games out there) can't even get past the second world on Very Easy difficulty. Soldner-X is a side-scrolling shoot 'em up. You take board on your tiny ship and go against a wild, crazy crowd of enemies which shoot in every directions and come in hundreds when it isn't more. Definitely not a game for people who aren't looking for a challenge. If you are a Trophy hunter (such as myself), definitely stay away from this game as they all seem impossible to get, such as finishing World 2 with an S Rank, while I can't even beat it to begin with. Still is an awesome game to my eyes, and with enough persistence I'll eventually beat Very Easy mode lol.
Alright, I'll stop this right here otherwise this blog will get WAY too long. I'll make a part 2 with disc games that I got whenever I feel like it.. so in a few days probably. Until then, that's the new games I've got on my PS3. I sure have my hands full!!
