http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/02/10/the-drop-week-of-february-11th-2013-new-releases/

The Drop for this week:

PSN

Ecolibrium (PS Vita Exclusive) – Ecolibrium is part of the PlayStation Vita “Discovery Apps” initiative, bringing PlayStation gamers unique interactive experiences that mix gameplay with life experiences such as social networking, geo-roaming and other digitally-aided experiences made possible with PlayStation Vita.

Bring harmony to a virtual ecosystem in the PS Vita gaming app Ecolibrium. Create a balanced ecosystem by choosing different combinations of species, plants and artefacts. Acquire, collect and trade new plants and animals with other PS Vita owners. Collect new creatures using the GPS feature of the PS Vita 3G model and show them off to your friends on Facebook. Release unwanted creatures into the wild for other players to pick up using “near”. Unlock new content by completing challenges.

Persona 4 Arena – Developed in partnership with genre master Arc System Works, Persona 4 Arena uses hand-drawn, high definition 2D anime-style fighters and colorful, over-the-top special effects to bring to life characters from the acclaimed, highly popular Persona 3 and Persona 4. Backed up by an original, hardcore fighting engine from one of the most respected 2D fighting game developers in the industry, Persona 4 Arena represents the biggest, most noteworthy expansion of the esteemed series to date.

Alien Breed (PS Vita Cross Buy) – Alien Breed is fondly remembered by its fans, especially in the UK where the Special Edition stayed in the “All Formats” charts for over a year. We were really proud of the 2009 version of the game, but a remake of the original game turned out to be a much better fit for the platforms it was appearing on. The first new feature is the most obvious: the game has had a full HD graphical overhaul, with the original graphics being an optional toggle. Two things that made a direct remake a frustrating experience were that the player could find themselves getting lost easily and could also run out of ammunition and door keys. To remedy this we added a toggle-able map screen and a persistent shop, to allow player to replenish supplies whenever necessary.

Everybody Dance – Using the PlayStation Move motion controller and PlayStation Eye camera to track and score moves, players can test their dancing skills with three difficulty levels, each featuring unique routines for every track produced by world-renowned choreographers. Everybody Dance allows players to hit the floor solo style, team up with a second player for a cooperative Partner Routine, challenge a friend to a competitive Dance Battle, or use the Party Play mode where up to 20 players can go head-to-head for the ultimate dance-off. Players can also use Everybody Dance’s Dance Class feature to improve their skills through detailed routine breakdowns and then take their game to the next level by developing original choreography using the Dance Creator feature.

Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken (PS Vita) – Step into the clawed feet of badass rebel Hardboiled Chicken, the original Coq of War who sets out on a mission to assassinate the totalitarian penguin leader and take down the evil regime that has taken over Albatropolis. Destroy enemies with a slew of weapons and bear the yolk of Hardboiled’s past as his missions unlock the secrets to his mysterious past and illuminate the truth behind the penguin government. Master fowl play in the co-op campaign as a pair of Budgie commandos on a mission to save the general’s daughter. Many lives will be destroyed, countless penguins will die!

YU-GI-OH! 5D’s Decade Duels Plus – Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s Decade Duels Plus is based on the popular Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s animated TV series. Decade Duels Plus includes the latest cards from the official Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s Trading Card Game. Complete against the most popular Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s characters during the finals Battle through Single player or compete in 4 player tag duels.

Demos

Big Sky: Infinity
Dynasty Warriors
Page Chronica
YU-GI-OH! 5D’s Decade Duels Plus

PlayStation 2 Classic

Rebel Raiders: Operation Nighthawk – Take part in one of the most gigantic air conflicts in History. Rebel Raiders: Operation Nighthawk is taking place in a distant future, in a time when the solar system has been conquered by the human beings. All states have come together to create the World Nations Union. But through the centuries, this government became more and more inhuman and tyrannical. A small group made of a few brave nations has decided to take its independence. This important event has involved the most devastating conflict the World has ever lived. Pursue your enemies among flying fortresses and force the evil United World Nation back to its mother base. This is your glory hour. Don’t miss it!

Twisted Metal: Black – They say the mind bends and twists to deal with the horrors of life, but sometimes the mind bends so much that it snaps in two… And so begins the next chapter in car combat:Twisted Metal: Black. Designed and developed by the makers of the original two PSOne games in the series,Twisted Metal: Black sends gamers on a deranged journey through a world rife with horror and desolation. Once underway, players will experience nine vicious battlegrounds with interactive environments and dynamic weather, 14 diabolically destructive vehicles, more than 20 deathmatch maps for four-person multiplayer action, and an improved physics engine that boasts more exaggerated powerslides and more responsive turn rates.

PSone Classic

Twisted Metal – It is the year 2010; desecration and madness have spread across the cities like a plague. You are the fastest and toughest car commando alive, and your task is to choose from more than a dozen hi-tech, battle-hardened street machines like taxi cabs, police cars, motorcycles, and ice cream trucks and compete in contests of brute force and MAD MAX-style survival. Try to find the time to enjoy the stunning, fully interactive 3D scenery as you careen from building to building and street to street in an attempt to evade your evil pursuers and emerge victorious.

[quote name='KingofOldSchool']Just got another PS3, looking to load up on some PSN games this time around. What are some good PSN exclusive games that worthy of getting (pretty much anything except traditional turn based RPGs)?[/QUOTE]

i shortened the previous list and gave some details. he covered most of the ones i can think of as my 'favorites', though i'm sure some are missing. probably would help if you specified genre a bit more, there are many, many good psn games

Critter Crunch -- casual
Dead Nation -- one of my favorite dual stick shooters.
Everyday Shooter -- another dual stick shooter, this one's quite original
The Last Guy -- wacky and fun, way better than you'd think
PixelJunk Monsters -- great tower defense that works well coop. wife loves it too.
Shatter -- terrific take on breakout. top notch.
Soldner-X/2 -- great schmup.
Super Stardust HD -- great dual stick shooter
Tokyo Jungle -- absolutely fantastic and original.

i'll also add:
counterstrike -- great if you love cs.
lumines - casual
gatling gears - dual stick
stacking - unique puzzle game
zen pinball
pinball arcade
comet crash - reverse tower defense
novastrike - dual stick, sort of.

leaving out some awesome games that i know are multiplatform.

kill3r7 · Feb 10, 2013

Thx for the update.

Phame · Feb 10, 2013

Off hand, does anyone know if there are major differences between FFV on psn and the gba version? It's one of the only ones I never played, and I already have a gba copy. It would be nice to play on a psp for the screen.. or vita if they got it working though.

Not that it's too big of a deal, but a lot of those games you listed are multiplatform as well.

Yeah I forgot to mention I already had a few like Wipeout, some of the PixelJunk games,Dead Nation, Flower, and Back to the Future.

Already have the Pinball games for the 360, but will probably buy then on PSN so I can have them on my Vita. Have Stacking on the 360 as well.

Any Metroidvania type exclusives?

Geco17 · Feb 10, 2013

So guys, I've never played any FF in my life. Nor know what it's about. All I know that it's turn based combat. Can anyone recommend one for a beginner in the series. Consensus seems to be FF7 from the sale would be the best. Anyone else back this? Thanks

That is where a lot of people started and that I recommend. X is also a good beginner series.

7 hasn't aged well and wouldn't be my recommendation, but seems you already made the purchase.

It's not a space issue as i've downloaded the game two different times, but every time I install it i get error code 80029564 during the install and it never finishes. I've tried turning off the system and redownloading the game, is there anything i could try to get it to work?[/QUOTE]

Bumping this as i'm still having trouble, downloaded the game for a third time now and still having the same problem.

This is the game I wanted to play most on PS Plus

Simple. Get VI and Tactics. Throw VII in for good measure if you haven't played it.

edit: I looked up difference between gba and psx version of FFV. It looks like I'll pass on psn version and play my gba copy... Someday.

I can't speak specifically for it because I haven't played it yet, but Knytt Underground gives me a little bit of a Metroid-exploration feel. It's on sale this week (and I think next week too) for 40% off, so you may want to check it out. Here's a link where you can watch a video preview of a similar game from the same developer, and you can actually even download that game, called The Great Work, which is free.

Rochard is 2D puzzle-platformer that has a hint of "metroidvania", though I personally feel like the exploration in that game was very limited (we had this discussion a while back on this thread.)

Those are the only ones I can think of.

I'm one of the many people that think VII isn't anywhere near the best in the series but it is a decent title. VI is usually the one I recommend to newcomers.

Batcave Dweller · Feb 11, 2013

Got a few questions regarding Dissidia 012 Duodecim FF DLC costumes...

I couldn't find them in my Vita's PS Store but do see them listed in the webstore. The listings do show "PSP|Vita" but can anyone here confirm the said costumes do get downloaded directly to his/her Vita and work fine?

According to this FF Wikia page, FFIV: The Complete Collection has Cecil's DLC costume but does the PSN version of that game actually have it? Can anyone confirm its appearance on his/her Vita?

Curious to know the above before purchasing Duodecim.

Outland reminded me a lot of Metriod, open map, platforming and combat mixed, linear in the sense that you have to get to a certain point on the map to get your next upgrade to continue on the story.

It's not an exclusive though.

Curious to know the above before purchasing Duodecim.[/QUOTE]I had the Tifa pre-order DLC costume from Amazon & while I couldn't redownload it on my Vita directly from the history, I was able to do so via PS3 & then transferring, & it works fine, along with the free Warrior of Light costume & Aerith from when I had Prologus back when it came out. I'm not too sure on PC-to-Vita transfer, but I think you can. I'd suggest trying the free WoL costume just to make sure.

As for Cecil's DLC costume with FF4 CC (along with the Aya costume for Lightning that you got from The 3rd Birthday), from my understanding, those were retail bonuses only. I also see no mention of them on the PSN store.

It's like Metroidvania meets a shooter. It's pretty intense at times but I really liked it. Plenty of back tracking for powerups and stuff. Plus the shifting mechanic is actually really fun.

I picked it up when it when free with PS+. I wish we could get more games like it. Metroidvania is my favorite style of game. The problem is so many games of that style end up really bad. Shadow Complex was an xbox only one right? Cause that's been my arcade game of this generation. There was talk of sequels and stuff when it came out but it doesn't look like that's ever going to happen.

EDIT: looked it up... it's published by Microsoft so of course it's 360 exclusive. AND they did promise a sequel but that was 2 years ago. So I imagine it will get a sequel when Last Guardian comes out.

I have a question and I read the FAQ and couldn´t find an answer to this:
As a PS+ member, to avoid missing any free game of the IGC once it is replaced by another game; is it enough to keep the game in my download list (without even trying to install it) or should I install it and then delete it?

I love that genre as well. Shadow Complex is definitely Xbox only and definitely great. Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is a Xbox/PC exclusive in a similar vein, I found it fun but a little bit too easy. Dust: An Elysian Tail is another quality title with a slight Metroidvania (MV) feel.

Guacamelee looks promising, and like I mentioned before Knytt Underground looks pretty good as well. I'll probably be buying it tonight. Hell Yeah has a decent MV feel, but ended up being quite linear.

Others that have at least a tiny bit of MV vibe in my opinion would be Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, Dishwasher Vampire Smile (Xbox only), and even Cave Story, which is an amazing game.

I'd love to see it go on sale again, since the game is in limbo on 360. Of course I'd rather they just got the publishing issue resolved on the 360, but it's taking forever.

Closure is the free game this week on PS+, along with Critter Crunch for a $1.40.

Alien Breed & NHL '13 are 20% off while Derrick the Deathfin is 50% off.

I don't understand why there is a video for Urban Freestyle in the middle of the post. It doesn't seem to have anything written about it. I'm really looking forward to that one - especially for Vita.

Closure looks pretty cool. Critter Crunch, not so much.

Critter Crunch is a lot of fun especially for $1.40. Glad I held off on buying Closure during the previous sales.

Did I misread or was Critter Crunch labeled as being a $1 originally? Doesn't matter considering it's only 40 cents, but I'm curious.

Aw darn I alraady own Closure. But it's a great game though for those who don't have it.

Having played both, I'd say Critter Crunch is the much better game (although Closure is still good). Critter Crunch can be additively fun and there is a lot of content for the price. Closure has some fun puzzles, but I did end up getting frustrated trying to figure out the solution to some of em.

ye gods I hope so. I've been in a crazy pinball fervor lately and they have sooo many good tables now.

doubtful, it was on sale for $5 very recently if i remember correctly. and i just bought Medieval Madness DLC full price and didn't even blink -- I'd spend that in the arcade on a good table in a heartbeat, and to have that table at my fingertips on a plane trip is priceless. One of the tables you get for the main purchase of Pinball Arcade is Ripley's, which is also just a fantastic, fun high scoring style table.
