OK, hmmmmm, where do I start? I guess I should start at the beginning of my gaming life. I'm talking summers spent in Clacton arcades wasting 10p's on Championship Sprint, Double Dragon and Turtles. I'm on about California Games, Daley Thompson and Winter Olympics... Aaaaaah, the C64 days, when I was but 5 or 6 years old, seemed the sunniest. I swear it was either bright sunshine soaked summer or just plain snow in those heady times.
Nowadays, like the weather, gaming has gotten complex... So much choice and so little cash.
In a house with many consoles and far too much gaming testosterone, I devote most play time to my PS3. I don't have a preference for game type, although I'd say FPS's float my boat the most and RPGs haven't grabbed me by the balls once, yet.
Right now I'm playing Black Ops, FIFA 11, Enslaved and Fallout 3 (GOTY Edition)
OK, howdy, how are we all??? So the major news coming from the world of Playstation 3 and, more specifically, the PSN Store this week has been the release of Flower. But, to my utter dismay, the real BIG news of the week (at least here in Europe anyway) has been completely overlooked... It is, quite possibly, the greatest game OF ALL TIME!!!
WHAT a name for a game
That's right, my friends... Gather round and let me tell you this:
I downloaded the demo for this game (it's only just been released here, been out in the US of effin' A for a good two or three months) just because I was kind of bored. I had no idea what it was all about.
It's like football but you kick around the ball in rocket-powered cars!!!
OH HOLY COW!
I can't tell you how big and fun just that demo is. I've had hours of laughs and competitiveness with my flatmate on it over the last few days. Boy oh boy, some last ditch tackles made when you boost past your opponent and jump and do all kinds of craziness... Some great goals! Anger! Pain! Total joy!
I haven't bought it yet but I know that once I am drunk tomorow night, I'm gonna be all over it like peanut butter and jam. I mean, I love Flower but this? It should be illegal for being too much fun.
Grafkhun, you totally have to get on that eh. Come join us :D
Also, yeah I have totally overlooked this game. I heard the demo was only a minute long so I didn't bother. But if you really suggest that I go download it, I will.
Uhm, Clance. Dude. I did tell you about it. But you were unconscious, naked and tied to a pole in my basement. All I did was whispering Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-powered Battle-Cars in your ear.
Crash Commando (The Game I've gotten the most play out of, it is a must buy), Flower, Noby Noby Boy, Pixel Junk Eden (the local multiplay is great!)
There are so many original, stellar games on PSN that it is easy for a couple to pass. If you are only going to get one, I'd go with crash commando. The multiplayer on that game never gets boring.
