If you like old school first person RPG's then you really can't go wrong.

Recorded two videos for Rochard to give people an idea of what it is. I did two videos since the first twenty minutes give a bit of a different impression of what it is (gravity-based puzzle platformer w/Portal influence) than the next twenty minutes does (platforming shooter with plenty of gravity-focused puzzles in-between shooting segments).

I think it's an excellent game that is sort of a linear Metroid game, which means you have the 2D room-based progression with more of a Shadow Complex-style shooting mechanic without there being a big open map to explore. You move room to room to room with little backtracking, but you definitely approach those rooms in a similar manner. There are the typical upgrades to your weapons and health, though they're more modest so far compared to what you expect from Metroid-style games.

I'll agree with the Metroid feel for the levels, which kinda surprised me.

BTW, those interested in Music Unlimited, Living Social has a deal for 6 months for $10 for the next week. Only good for those who aren't current Premium subscribers.

Seems like a bad deal compared to 12 months for $12 for PS+ members. I guess it's good if you don't have PS+.

I realize that, but I'd thought I'd bring it to people's attention at the very least.

I'm just commenting on it as a deal.

On PSN and the OP:

Other Deals Music Unlimited - One Year Premium Subscription - $12.00

I'm going to guess that you thought 12 months of PS+ for $12.

Totally. Now that would be a deal.

I already picked up the Music Unlimited thing a while back.

I had a question about PS+ if any of you could answer. So I know the games are mine as long as I pay for the membership but let's say they delist Gravity Rush or Uncharted next week from the free games but I keep paying for the subscription, do the games stay mine if I have already downloaded them until the sub expires?

Holy crap...275 completed games on 360? I thought my 44 completed games were pretty good, lol. I have no platinum trophies still, though.

Re: your question, the games stay yours as long as you are a subscriber. I think even if you lapse and re-subscribe, they stay yours, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

If the PSN is having a Christmas sale would it most likely be next week or Christmas day?

Next week 99.9999999%, since I recall Sony not doing an update on the same week as Christmas.

They're going to have updates on the eve of both major holidays over the next two weeks, but I'd imagine that the major holiday deals will start this week with minor updates during the two weeks following it.

Not sure. Developer Just Add Water has been slowly HD'ifying the whole Oddworld series. Their port of Strangers Wrath really looks great, and Munch's Odyssee should be coming out very soon.
