poo poo, I was actually expecting them to charge full price for a Boy and His Blob or at least like $30 because it was originally a full retail release. $10 is a no brainer.

Its an okay arcade flight sim, it just might as well not be a Star Wars game because its all prequel ships that were barely even in the movies.

I've go a question regarding Borderlands. The Pre-Sequel for the PS3 is available for $39.99, while the Ultimate Edition is $104.99. But from the description of the Ultimate Edition, all you're getting is stuff that's included in the Season Pass, which is $29.99. So that's like $70. Where the hell is the rest of the $34 coming from?

Is it cause the Ultimate Edition is calculated from Initial Release Price + Each Separate DLC?

Cause that seems like a load of bull.

One of my favourite surprise games, better than any of TellTale's stuff.

I immediately bought Beyond Two Souls afterwards to hopefully experience more of the same but that one was a bit too serious/full of itself.

I really liked it, personally. I think that the characters are really well done, and the writing is usually strong. There's a really good photography motif that gets a lot of mileage throughout the game. It really feels like your choices matter, unlike some of the telltale games.

Some people were kind of put off by the dialogue. I think that you get used to it as time goes on, and I eventually stopped noticing it. I mean, they're saying "hella" a lot and stuff like that, but it's not as if the whole thing is in a valley girl voice.

One of the best games of last year, for sure. It's excellent. It's also been on sale on PSN for around $7 (I believe), so if you're not in a hurry...

Life is Strange is excellent. Some people complain about the ending but I think playing it through in one shot makes it really clear the ending was kind of inevitable.

It's not really a cheerful game though. Like it has funny dialogue in places but beneath that is a lot of downer.

There's a limited edition coming out that would qualify for the Amazon Prime 20% discount to be $31.99, would you say it's worth it? The additional content is listed as:

32 page artbook including unreleased concept art
Licensed 14 track soundtrack (featuring Alt-J, Foals, Jos Gonzlez. ..) plus an 8 track original score by Jonathan Morali
Directors commentary

Awesome!

Life is strange is one of the best games I played last year, and I didn't really expect to like it that much. It's much better than any telltale game, and although I don't think I'd listen to the music out of the game, the soundtrack is still amazing. The game is very, very atmospheric too. The story is great. I loving loved it.

Thanks for the link, I'll check them all out! I'm definitely a fan of the OST, why couldn't they have included all of THAT? Eight tracks is like a sad sample of the whole.

I like big artbooks, but the disc-case-sized 32 page artbooks are something I always regret. So disappointingly small, any other way to view that art would be better

While not entirely the same thing you probably should have gone with Transistor. Or for a similar style of game but just humorous, Tales from the Borderlands.

I bought the latter but it didn't grab me after the first episode. Will give it another shot eventually though.

I don't regret playing Beyond (never had a ps3) but it seemed to blow some good ideas and what must've been an enormous budget.

Beyond Two Souls is way better co-op than solo, especially if you're playing with someone that wants to make Jodie all serious. Every time ghost pal gets control, it's time to ruin everything. I don't regret burning that shithead teenager's house down one little bit :colbert:
