is that what your avatar is saying to?

Overr8ed6502d ago (Edited 6502d ago )

Some ps fanboys were flaming that this game suxs and now that PSN gets it people are now saying share the luv.

@ Sonarus
My point is that people often flip flop on their ideas if a game is exclusive to a platform. I dont even know how the gameplay of this game is like so i cant say it suxs or not.

oh and i never ment to blame Le-mo sorry if i confused anyone.

SolidSnake936502d ago

He's actually shooting the yellow projectile.

TheDude2dot06502d ago

Maybe people like Power of Green ruined it with his awful descriptions of it...

Or it was because it was exclusive to XBLA.

Either way I'll buy it if it is cheap. The only reason I bought Mortal Kombat II was because it was five dollars.

sonarus6502d ago

@Over8ed. Did you ever see Le-mo say the game was crap? Does Le-mo speak for every PS3 owner. I personally haven't played braid but i have seen a couple of videos and from what i understand its like the new super mario or sumthin which is great and all but i personally don't see what makes the game get 10's but i won't critique it till i play it which should hopefully be soon

TheWickedOne6502d ago

Well, Overr8ed, I never said once I wouldn't want Braid on the PSN. WEIRD HA.

ElementX6502d ago

Your icon looks like Kirby is getting a golden shower

mfwahwah6502d ago

Oh my God, when I read this I just cracked a huge smile. I really want this game! (I'm not a flip flopper fyi!)

ThanatosDMC6502d ago

But butt... i thought this game sucked cuz it was on 360???

Anyway, i want to know more about Fat Princess.

Good news for PS3 only owners. Possibly the best game on Live, up there with Geometry Wars (also rumoured to join the PSN).

How do you disagree with that?

power of Green 6502d ago (Edited 6502d ago )

Sorry for dissagreeing, I don't think anybody should be happy untill the PS3 version is in development if they decide to make a PS3 version. Also never heard of the GW rumor about GW heading to PS3.

NO_PUDding6502d ago

I heard of Geometry Wars coming to PSN. Can't rememebr where though.

Nevermind, I would like to see both.

Fishy Fingers6502d ago (Edited 6502d ago )

POG, here you go http://www.1up.com/do/previ...

Quote "Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2 is >>currently<< an Xbox 360 exclusive title,"

"although PSN is definitely in our company plans going forward."

did you think I was making this up? o_O

power of Green 6502d ago (Edited 6502d ago )

How do you dissagree with facts?.

"PS3 fans should be happy"
"Yes PS3 gets this game"
"OMG I wasn't expecting this"
"This is an wonderful addition to PSN"

Are all wrong reactions and don't make any sense when the devs said it might come to PSN after the timed exclusive deal runs out.

YOU PEOPLE SHOULD READ THE TEXT BEFORE YOU SAY, OMG!!!! IT'S COMING TO PSN. LOL

The propper resonse should be:

*Lets cross our fingers for this to be on PS3*
*I hope Sony will make a deal*
*I hope the devs are not busy later on so PSN gets it.

Surfman6502d ago (Edited 6502d ago )

GW is good, but i think SSHD is better(with the add-ones). Better graphics and much fun.

MazzingerZ6502d ago (Edited 6502d ago )

@power of Green
No one is happy nor sad. the developer was very clear, once the timed exclusivity expires they can do whatever they want with the game and I don't think they will choose to keep it X360 exclusive just because they want to help MSFT to fight against evil SONY

Personally, I'll only buy it if it's 10 bucks and knowing SONY (based on the price for other PSN gmes) I'm sure it will cost that.

ice_prophecy6502d ago

I dont understand PoG why you are quick to attack and quick to Defend. In fact, too many people are.

Either ways, it ultimately is beneficial to both users and the developers if true. The developers get access to a substantial market, while gamers are given the opportunity to play what reviews seem to point to as a good game.

I LOVE my xbox6502d ago

Fishy Fingers just owned Power of Green. Sweet.

thereapersson6501d ago

Every time I see you post, it reeks of desperation and spin. Why don't you just give up on this website?

Relcom6502d ago

Thank god, i have been jonesin to play this so bad. Share the love

kalistyles6502d ago

Geometry Wars is a good game, but Super Stardust HD is much better. They're very similar but I'd give the edge to SSHD.

Mr_Showtime16502d ago

I liked the visual asthetics of Geo wars better, but bot being able to boost is quite an annoying thing, also I dont like how Geo Wars 2 zooms in-close.

DJ6502d ago

But Super Stardust HD is still my favorite shooter.

Adamalicious6502d ago

Yeah - SSHD just plays better if you ask me. The spherical worlds make it a lot more interesting.

GiantEnemyCrab6502d ago

I'm just the opposite I guess. I don't own a PS3 but have played it on a friends PS3 and SSHD just doesn't seem as compelling as GeoWars2. The skill level is night and day, even on the easiest setting GeoWars2 takes a lot more skill than SSHD on a medium setting. Plus all the new modes in GeoWars2 make SSHD seem linear in its option's.

Both are good for the type of games they are and it's all a matter of opinion but GeoWars > SSHD for me and much of the game industry agrees it seems.

mfwahwah6502d ago

I've never played Geometry Wars, but the SSHD demo was REALLY fun. I'm going to have to buy it one of these days lol.

Nice list.

I’ll add 9th Dawn III to that list. Great game made by one person.

Always Sometimes Monster is made by two people technically, but let’s do an honorable mention.

NecrumOddBoy1464d ago

I’d add HABROXIA 1 & 2 on here as well. Berry does pixel wonders with the Game Maker engine.

ABizzel11464d ago

Technically speaking Minecraft should have been on the list. But it's nice to see these single devs thrive.

Rebel_Scum1464d ago

Some of these arent exactly “made by one man”

Looking at you Braid and Fez.

AmUnRa1463d ago

Theyr is no game made by one man. Theyr is always a team of developers behind them.
However there is always someone who comes up with the idea of a game.
When i would give an example of one man with that idea for me its Hideo Kojima....

LabRat1463d ago (Edited 1463d ago )

No there are certainly games made by 1 person, start to finish. Maybe after it launches and becomes a big enough success the 1 person will reach out for help maintaining it or updating, but games have been made by 1 person.

Unless of course you are being insanely nit-picky and trying to claim "the engine they used was made by Unity" or "the assets they put in were made by someone else"

Xbox Live Gold Subscribers Can Claim These Three Additional Free Games

Joe Danger is hella fun. Nice bonus from GwG.

deleted1491d ago

I enjoyed Joe Danger back in the day, it's pretty fun. What's amazing is how Hello Games went from a few of these rather simple games to the ultra-ambitious No Man's Sky!

I would love a sequel to JD - although I do realize that Hello Games have kinda grown beyond that scope of game.

Godmars2901491d ago

And still the contradiction of getting something for "free" from a service you pay for continues.

CrimsonWing691491d ago

But isn’t the service for online multiplayer? So, technically it’s “free games” included with your online subscription? I mean, what was the point of Xbox Live? To get free games?

Godmars2901491d ago

Only, after they tried doubling the price of another online service, some similar nonsense, isn't Xbox online multiplayer suppose to be free?

darthv721491d ago

"isn't Xbox online multiplayer suppose to be free?" No, it was always been a paid premium on console. The free games was not related to the rumored price hike. They were giving them away long before that.

If there was a service for free online multiplayer on console, it was PSN. Until the PS4 came out.

Jericho13371491d ago

How would you have worded it then? I’d say ‘subscribers claiming free games’ is about as clear as it gets.

Godmars2901491d ago

"As part of", "In addition to", "As an extra bonus". Anything better than, "Get this with no strings attached or requirements" which is what "free" implies.

Jericho13371490d ago

That’s like saying ‘buy one get one free’ doesn’t apply because it’s not technically ‘free’. Stop trying to find a problem with something when there isn’t one.

gangsta_red1491d ago

** "Get this with no strings attached or requirements" which is what "free" implies.**

No, it actually doesn't, it's just like when you get a free refill of soda after you purchased your first cup.

I think we are well enough into these console gens to stop bringing up this tired argument

CrimsonWing691491d ago

You always had to pay for Xbox Live to
play online multiplayer… this was the case way back during the original Xbox when it was released.

I don’t understand what you’re hung up about when plenty of subscription services give free things as a perk or benefit to a user who subscribes to a service.

Hell, Nintendo Power gave me a “Free” Strategy Guide of my choosing for paying for their magazine subscription way back in the day.

You’re getting the games that you’d need to pay for regardless of the subscription for free, bottom-line. The service you’re paying for is the online multiplayer service Xbox Live. You aren’t paying for Xbox Live and paying for the game you were handed out for free, you’re still just paying for the online service and nothing more. Hence, why the game in itself is free for Xbox Live subscribers.

sinspirit1491d ago

It was originally just for online access. It had updated and began monthly game releases to compete with PS Plus. Monthly games have been a part of Live for many years. It is more recently that the releases are getting worse and worse.

Godmars2901491d ago

Its been a majoritively dismissed point as DLC, MTs and now subscriptions became things. Failed protest against policies meant ultimately to strip consumers of ownership rights over media in general.

Still, may as well keep pointing it out.

sinspirit1490d ago (Edited 1490d ago )

@Godmars290

I guess people are just missing the point. And, now we got people thinking Live is still just an online sub and games are a generous inclusion like it's not a feature of the paid service lol.

Live officially on Microsofts site lists, "Free games every month. Now that’s Gold.
Get 2 free games a month, including backward compatible Xbox 360 games".

But, many are starting to say that Live payment is still just for the online access. Which, if that's what they're believing then I'm worried about why they'd pay just for online access. Paying for it back in the day was already a ripoff since they didn't even host dedicated servers to ensure the best quality connection. You'd pay for it just to host it on the internet provider that you also pay for lol.

I do think it's great to offer extra games on top of the existing ones. However, Live has repeatedly offered very lacking games, has listed the same games more than once, and even listed the same game two months in a row one time. They need to have a solid consistent history of delivering quality monthly releases.

And still the contradiction of bringing up a decade old tired complaint knowing we’ve all moved in but you. We all agree it would better if the author was accurate but this argument is so old now, move on.

Im thankful Quantum Break ended up here! The only thing that stopped this game from being talked up was Xbox exclusivity and the live action scenes being way too long...

Otherwise, it's basically Control with lighter visuals

Godmars2901707d ago

Isn't the AI broken? Physics issues as well?

Why, if it wasn't actually a broken game, possibly less so than Blix the Time Sweeper, would being an exclusive be an honest mark against QB?

GamerRN1705d ago

Because people LOVE to HATE Xbox

NecrumOddBoy1707d ago

TimeSpinner is a good time based metroidvania.

Also, Singularity rocks a a time-theme Bioshock-like FPS.
