Demon's Souls, MAG and more go PS3 'Greatest Hits' photo

Sony has announced that it's added a slew of games to its "Greatest Hits" line-up today, pricing them all at $29.99. The following titles should now be available at retail for your buying pleasure at the discounted "Greatest Hits" pricing:

The titles were deemed worthy of "Greatest Hits" status based on "an impressive sales threshold," which they sold a bunch of copies… and you may already have them. What, if any, of these games were you waiting on a price drop for?

I have a hard time understanding their claim of yielding "impressive sales".

Are we to assume Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, etc. haven't had fantastic sales? I understand their reasoning, GOTY editions, Move, and such, but I find it odd nonetheless.

Every PS3 owner should get Ratchet & Clank. All of them.

The 'Greatest Hits' moniker has always been BS. It's not really based on sales. The only games that are placed on that list have sold reasonably well, but sales have slowed and need a bump. The top tier AAA titles take forever to make the list because Sony isn't dumb enough to lower the price to $30 when they can still gouge us for $60.

Not sure if I should buy MAG now, since it gets Move compatibility

I still need to buy Demon's Souls, it's been on my list forever... soon, my pet, soon.

I think that came out wrong. Not sure if I should buy MAG or not, now that it has Move compatibility I suppose it would be a better purchase to add to Move games.

Why? Is it that much fun? I've never played any of the series. I haven't cared about platformers in years, I got my fill of them with the SNES and PS2. I have no interest at all in Mario, and never did. What about Ratchet & Clank makes it a must buy?

If you haven't bought Demon's Souls, do not wait, do not take time to think about it, just do yourself a favor and go buy that game. $30 for one of the most engaging, beautifully crafted, and yes, challenging, games this generation. I picked this up two weeks ago. I think I've seen 3:00 AM every day for two weeks straight. And I have a job with 9-5 hours. The game is just evil in the way it keeps baiting you to get back the souls you've earned. Evil in that perfect way. I've never done meth, but now I have a better understanding of how someone can throw their entire life away by allowing their thoughts to be completely consumed by finding that next high. Yeah, you could say I like that game.

Nice... think I'll buy a Greatest Hits Demon's Souls to sit next to both my U.S. & EUR Demon's Souls LE sets! Oh yes, it is that good!

I'll probably hit up Pacific Rift. I love a good arcade racer, and I've enjoyed the original Motorstorm as well as the PSP one. If I can get it used for $20, that would be even better...

@ pokota - ratchet and clank is some of the most fun ive had this gaming generation. It's like ps2 style action/platforming with ps3 graphics, fun puzzles, funny entertaining story - just all around fun to play

Amtalx nailed it!

I might buy MAG at that price, or wail till it's used for $10.....actually I play BFBC2 too much and MoH is around the bend.

WhiteZombie pretty much summed it up. It's FUN! It looks fantastic and it plays fantastic. That's pretty much it. I think a lot of developers should go pay a visit to Insomniac so they too can learn how to put a bit of fun into their games.

If you really want to know what makes it excellent you need to read the review by Nick.

If you decide to get it you might want to start with the first one, Tools of Destruction. Which should be dirt cheap now. Then get Quest for Booty from the PSN store and finally play A Crack in Time. Which would mean you've got 3 excellent games for the price of 1.

I'm not that guy, you know him, the guy who like to cram games down someones throat. But... I'll make an exception for Ratchet & Clank, every time I get the chance!

Already have Ratchet: Crack in Time and Demon's Souls (To any that don't have them, you should probably fix that). Only one on this list that really calls out to me is MAG - I rented it, and had a huge amount of fun with it.

I bought Tekken 6 off of Amazon for about $15 around when it launched, and ended up selling it back pretty quickly. Don't think I'll bother again until it's $10.

Was waiting on MAG when I bought my PS3. Then I realized that no one has a fucking headset on any nearly any game, so I put that off.

So, MAG is only a buy when it goes below $20 at this point.

Off that list, I'd get MAG but I wonder if there are still a lot of people playing it online? I liked the beta but I certainly won't get it if I can't get to play it with people...

Glad to see Tekken 6 had 'impressive sales' because that's one solid Fighter for the books. Everyone should buy it now because it will definitely hold you off until Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

MAG still has a healthy user base, and those worrid about people not having a MIC, run with the dtoid crew, we all have mics and are very sociable with one another, probably too sociable. We tend to play about every night of the week except 1 night we dedicate to Warhawk which I have gotten into a habit of skipping because I just don't care for it.

Oh great, well I have become very interested in ratchet and clank again now :D Thanks, I hope.

Are they're any ones that stand out for PS3 and should be good for a sort of begginner like me?
