Rowan Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Maybe its because I haven't played a racing game for a number of years, last one probably Mario Kart Wii, or maybe its just because I've recently played games aimed at an older audience but F1 Race Stars is harmless fun and a good play. The mechanics are surprisingly solid and features like pit stops, no drifting and the kers boost differentiates it from other kart games. Only complaint is it's hard to figure out (and commit to memory) what icon represents each weapon/item in a race. @Retro_Link it's free on PS+ so I would recommend just buying a £8 3 month subscription while you can, save yourself from buying it fully.

Hadn't heard of Sideway: New York, looks really cool! Costume Quest looks pretty awesome!... one of the games I remember hearing about before I got a PS3. Likewise Super Stardust I can remember people on here raving about! but I'd completely forgotten about it having since got one!... The fact I can actually get these now! Been looking at getting The Walking Dead for some time. Sound Shapes I've had an interest in too. Might have to give Flower a go too, I wasn't convinced from a trailer I watched, I thought it might kind of be one dimensional? And honestly guys, I can't recommend The Unfinished Swan enough!

Retro_Link Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 *YouTube's Stacking* OK, another one to add to the watch/to-buy list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Costume Quest looks pretty awesome!... one of the games I remember hearing about before I got a PS3. As someone who hates turn-based RPGs....this is really good. Not as good as Stacking, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheikah Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 This list is bullshit. Stacking isn't on it. Yeah too right. Also Castle Crashers gave me a lot more enjoyment to be that low down.

Daft Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 I thought Stacking was pretty boring. *Rebel* It takes a little time to warm to but it gets better and better. Elefunk should be on that list. Talk about long forgotten, underrated, hidden gems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 What are the thought of changing this thread to an all round indie game thread? There are a whole load of great indie games on Steam and iOS/Android and now the Vita (I know PSN is there) - it just seems like we need title change. What do people think? Aaaaaaaaany way...just found out about this game, Proteus. Sounds interesting. Anyone played it? Proteus - A VIRTUAL VACATION IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE. http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/02/09/proteus-review Proteus is a first-person explorer where you just walk. That's all you do. There's no shooting or jumping or climbing or puzzle-solving. The trees you'll find on this island have nothing to do with dialogue, skills or perks. They're just normal trees. You know, the kind that come out of the ground. They're surrounded by looming peaks, sleepy valleys, sun-kissed vistas and an ocean that cradles the whole place like a doting mother. Sometimes there are also graves. Is it a game? By some definitions, sure. There is, after all, an action (walking) and a goal (advancing the island's seasons and witnessing the effects of time on nature). Is it something else entirely? Maybe. I mean, it's mostly directionless and there's no actual challenge. But really, here's the short answer to both questions: who cares? I could sit here all day rattling off a list of the gameplay elements Proteus doesn't have. Heck, I could probably do that for all sorts of other games as well. But instead I'm just going to discuss what Proteus is. It is magical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Arcade/PSN is not synonymous with indie. Portal is on XBLA, Shadow Complex is made by Epic Games, Megaman by Capcom etc etc. And I'm pretty sure there's an indie game thread somewhere.

Cube Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Ducktales is amazing. But why have they just put "PlayStation" and "PSN" logos? I need to know if this will be on Vita. It would look amazing on Vita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
