thanks so much for such a detailed reply!

I've been sitting in the back with Caesar and killing things slowly to advance, but for some reason his grenades don't go anywhere close to where I want them to, so it's kind of weird. Yang's smg has no range, Gunner's sniper rifle takes too long to shoot and you can't really even see the red line before you get hit and lose it, and Barney just runs out of ammo too fast (plus I can't even tell what his range is, but I assume it's pretty good). Bleh. Not really a game to recommend to anyone...

Yeah, i was really disappointed in the demo. I think this type of game has a lot of potential, but this one is poorly executed. I'd really be interested in a solid, well done isometric action game with RPG elements. Renegade ops was a decent attempt, better than expendables, but it's also vehicle based.

I'd like to see something with both on foot and vehicles, tons of funky weapons, upgrades and skills and with decent AI and cover system.

Ya the Expendables 2 demo was awful.

So the PSASBR is official. Early access for PS+ folks.

Hey everyone! Last week, SuperBot Entertainment and PlayStation invited a small group of players to get a hands-on preview of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale as part of our early development beta. We’re beginning to test our servers and connectivity issues and this is just the beginning as we work toward rolling out a public beta to the entire PlayStation nation this Fall. As part of this exclusive access, players were able to take control of characters such as Kratos, Sweet Tooth, PaRappa the Rapper, Colonel Radec, Sly Cooper, and Fat Princess and battle in environments such as Dreamscape, Metropolis, Sandover Village, and Hades. The feedback we’re receiving from beta testers has been highly encouraging and valuable, helping us craft the best online multiplayer fighting experience possible. In addition, there was an unexpected and unintended leak in our beta that allowed fans to be able to see some additional content. We’ve enjoyed reading all of the fan reaction and are thrilled that so many of you are excited to learn more about our character roster and level mash-ups, however we are still in development and the leaked content does not fully represent the final product nor the incredible efforts that were made to make these elements truly spectacular. This will be evident in the coming weeks as this content is officially revealed, beginning with our next character announcement at Gamescom in a couple of weeks. While just a small group now, in the coming weeks we will continue to send out batches of codes as we gradually expand the beta; so keep your eyes open. You just might receive an invitation to join! Keep checking back with the blog for more information around the public beta, starting with early access to PlayStation Plus members. If you’re having this much fun with the game now, we think you’re going to be thrilled with all the great stuff coming in the final product!

How much do the $9.99 PS2 games usually go on sale for? I tried searching for past sales but got nothing. If it's only a couple a bucks off I was gonna go ahead and pick up War of the Monsters now instead of waiting.

I don't think any of them have ever been on sale. Lowest they would probably drop is $5. I'd buy now if I were you.

Yeah I figured they would do a $6.99 or7.99 sale for non-PS+ and $4.99 for PS+. But if we haven't even seen a PS2 sale before then I'm definitely picking it up.

Just got this in my inbox about Way of the Samurai 4's release date and price:

XSEED Games, an independent-minded publisher, is pleased to announce today that the open-world action title, Way of the Samurai 4, will be released in North America as a digital download on PlayStation®Network on August 21 at a price of $39.99, exclusively for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system. The latest entry in the popular long-running series, Way of the Samurai 4 takes players on a journey through post-isolationist Japan, allowing them to choose an allegiance in the midst of an ongoing power struggle between three competing factions. Fans can check out the game’s all-new website at: www.wayofthesamurai4.com Set in post-isolationist Japan, Way of the Samurai 4 offers a unique way to experience an era that forever changed a nation. The era’s cultural landscape offers countless opportunities for the ambitious, and players are thrown into this world as a rōnin (masterless samurai) looking to make a name for himself. Taking their place in the overall power struggle, players will be given the choice to align themselves with one of three factions: the shogunate pro-governmental forces, the nationalistic isolationists and the growing foreign powers, and their loyalty and interaction with each of the three factions will shape the story towards one of ten possible different endings. Offering an unprecedented range of customization, Way of the Samurai 4 allows players to create their own samurai however they see fit. Nothing, from the most historically-accurate robes to more modern designs to the downright bizarre, is out of reach. Once set loose in the world, players are free to do as they wish, whether it be accepting missions to further the game’s story, shopping for new items and weapons or challenging other samurai in battle. A unique online feature allows the uploading and downloading of player characters to roam in other players’ games as a computer-controlled assassin to challenge and defeat in order to receive that character’s equipped spoils. The original Japanese voice-overs have been left intact, heightening realism, and will be accompanied by English sub-titles. Developed by ACQUIRE and published by Spike in Japan, Way of the Samurai 4 will be released in North America by XSEED Games on August 21 on the PlayStation 3 system as a digital release on the PlayStation®Store. More information is available at the newly launched product website at www.wayofthesamurai4.com

$40? was hoping for less than that

Uh, I'm sorry this is my first Transformers game this generation but are any others as badass as this demo? That was an awesome demo, over the shoulder, 3rd person, high action. Definitely on my radar.

The last 3 (IIRC, maybe just 2 games) have all been pretty much the same, really good IMHO! Check them out

War for Cybertron is supposedly pretty good, though I haven't played much of it. I played most of the most recent one (Dark of the Moon, I think) and it got boring kinda quickly.

War For Cybertron is supposedly a Gears clone. If you're a spray and pray player when playing a shooting game, then you'll be using the melee attacks OFTEN, since the ammo drops are few and far between.

Not to mention nine times outta ten you're fighting clones of generic Transformers in each level. It's really quite boring fighting the same clones of some look alike TF's repeatedly.

War for Cybertron was great and, as a Transformers fan, I enjoyed it far more than Gears of War.

I can't recommend any other Transformers games aside from War though, since most are passable - at best.

Fall of Cybertron is going to be off the charts, based on that demo alone.

dark of the moon sucked, but war for cybertron was awesome. war for cybertron also 4x xp still i think. awesome. fall of cybertron should be killer also, hopefully.
i only played the multiplayer tho, like battlefield with class/vehicles and special perks, it was real cool.

About to buy Tactics Ogre (Finally), watch it go on sale next week.....

Also, that PayDay DLC is a pretty awesome idea. Kind of like gamesharing to the next level, i might have to redownload it. Barely played it much yet
