And likely the addition of Wallace Wells as a playable character.

Oh yeah, him too. As foretold by the trophies list.

I've only played a couple hours of each, but I don't think you'll be disappointed by either of them.

I figured you'd buy Knytt Underground. I know I'm going to get lost for hours in that game. I love the feeling of exploration that old NES had and the was a flashback. Sine Mora is such a steal for $4.89 and looks beautiful on the Vita.

I am totally blown away by how excellent Knytt Underground is. It's just so good. The world is enormous and incredibly varied, with different parts of the map being very distinct and recognizable. At first I was disappointed that there was no power progression a-la Metroid where you gain abilities that unlock new parts of the map; here everything is open all at once, you just have to figure out how to get in. After playing for a good 8 or 10 hours though I have to say that it really makes for an incredible experience; you can just wander and explore freely, going wherever there are empty spaces on the map and circling round if you hit a dead end.

Yes, 8 or 10 hours. This game is big. I've still only opened up about two-thirds of the map in that time, and I know there are a TON of secret areas I haven't touched (I've found two or three so far but there are many many more). I'm sure it's possible to "win" in less time than I've already spent, if you beeline to objectives and skip over side quests, but man you'd be missing out.

Also of note: the storyline is very weird, and the characters are really full of tropes, but it's still incredibly entertaining. I'm finding myself fascinated by the world and the question of how it became the way it is, and of course science vs. religion is always a fertile germ to grow a world around.

Everyone should try the demo. If you like it even a little bit you should grab the game while it's on sale. The demo gives you a taste, but there's more to the actual game, as you gain a crucial ability:
in chapter 3 your character can switch between being a human with climbing abilities, like in the demo, and a very bouncy ball with relatively realistic physics, allowing for some incredible acrobatic bounces and leaps. It sounds weird, but holy shit is it fun.

Give it a try.

Gahh I have a backlog and fear sine Mora and kyntt will be free through plus in the future, but you guys have almost convinced....

get Sine Mora.
I'm undecided on Knytt and Big Sky Infinity

Sine Mora is a love letter to schmup fans. Incredible bosses, great vibe, great controls -- multiple ships + multiple pilots (subweapons) + multiple power capsules (time slow down, bullet reflection, time rollback) ensure vastly different gameplay (and replay value).

lots of nice to haves-- for example, as soon as you meet a boss you unlock that boss in 'boss trainer' mode, so you can easily practice them. difficultly should appeal to all (story mode on normal isn't particularly difficult, and allows 10 continues + starting on any chapter, while score attack mode on insane offers a massive challenge for the hardcore).

and it controls really, really well. the trophies will requires mastering the game, but that's the kind of schmup this is.

I keep waiting for RollingSkull to chime in and tell everyone how much Sine Mora sucks, but he's probably just a PC gamer and doesn't come into PS3 threads.

I have no opinion, since I don't have it.

^He comes to the XBL thread once in a while to shit on pretty much every indie game except for Shank/Shank2. I don't think I've ever seen him in the PSN thread.

for the life of me I can't get past the level where you have to stay within the trash

I also picked up Sine Mora and find it to be fitting for all the praise. It's beautiful and the numerous boss battles give the combat a satisfying feeling. As someone else said, I don't know what is going on story wise, but it's fun.

I got the revenge by the dad for his son who was shot for disobeying orders to bomb but rescuing the guy from prison (or did I kill him) for raping the girl (who is now a pilot?) has me lost. I'm still early in though.

that run sucks. the only advice I can give is try to hang near the back end of the trash (still staying in it), makes it slightly easier to see where it's going. after blowing up a half dozen times that worked ok for me.

Capcom has only dropped down UMVC3 to $30 retail after an entire year. Tough call for me.

Following up on my own thought here, but does anyone know if the code that comes with SF X T retail package expires? Since getting the 12 characters as DLC is a big motivation for me in this deal, that would factor in for me whether I should get this in the sale or wait for the retail cart to drop.

Not sure if I should buy any of these....BlazBlue, Dokuro, Knytt, Sine Mora, or Sumioni. I pretty much have enough waiting to be played as it is and I'm a plus subscriber. Prices seem good though.

The answer should be no
Digital backlog is even more wasteful than a physical one

and I'm done with Sine Mora. pretty short but I guess the fun comes with mastery.
I have $8 to spend before I get $100
should I go for Knytt and Big Sky Infinity (asked this plenty of times but each time I get mixed responses).

was thinking of DW Next or EDF... lol but I guess the $ should go towards P4G

Knytt Underground is great if exploring is something you enjoy. I heard more negative about Big Sky than Knytt Underground.

lol good call! Yeah with MGS HD, AC III, LBP, and Resistance yet to be played I think I'm good for awhile. That's not even counting the Plus stuff I want to play like Jet Grind. Thanks for being the voice of reason!

Buy knytt. Don't play the demo, cuz you just have to do it all over again x.x. But it's great. I'm addicted.
