My mistake--all fixed. You sound a little hostile for some reason, but I'll answer your questions. First of all, it is out in Europe right now. Second of all, I received a copy for review from the studio who developed it, as is standard.
It's an interesting quandary. My young niece loves Assassin's Creed for the horses, and they naturally want to play what their parents do. It's hard to know how much is too much.
World of Warcraft is definitely a game that wraps people up--but it is not in any way as popular with kids as Minecraft.
Can't beat the price, really.
It was an Amazon sale...they tend to change price very quickly, and run out quickly as well. There is a link in the article, but the price has changed now.
Sequels are a sure thing, I guess.
It is a psmini....some work on Vita, some don't.
I really do think a big portion of it is what they think people are willing to pay, even more so than the cost associated with producing the game.
I've loaded the page multiple times on multiple browsers, and nothing is showing up.
I've seen Zen Studios make mention of this issue as well. PSN seems to have done a disservice to many developers.
You really can't beat that price. It is one of my favorite casual games.
How? I am honestly confused. Saying that even a free game isn't being downloaded at high numbers seems to be solid evidence that it is not doing as well as thought.
I'm torn about the whole thing. Yes, the hackers are a big pain in the butt. But....Sony is a major company, and should *not* have been so easily and thoroughly compromised, and the fact that their lax security was exposed was not necessarily a bad thing in itself. The way it was exposed, though, was most certainly bad.
'Round these parts, "football" refers to a game played with a oval shaped pigskin ball.
Because there were 2 different reviewers, to offer two different points of view.
No, the game was actually on sale for $7.49, but Amazon raises their prices automatically when something starts selling really quickly.
Looks like Amazon has upped the price on this one already, but deal hunters may be interested in Burn Zombie Burn (PSN) for $3.40. http://bit.ly/qxYIUB
It felt very much like Baldur's Gate, to me almost right away. The multiplayer aspect was an improvement from Baldur's Gate though, as you could switch back and forth between multi nd single on the same game.
It isn't a sandbox game, for sure, but you do have quite a bit of control over the story. And while you can't customize the character's looks, you can do a lot with their abilities. I guess it just depends on what you are looking for in a game, though. :)
It launched in Europe on the 13th of February.
