I bought the full version and I love it. The premise is cool as hell and the execution is fantastic. Everything takes place from a Google-maps type of view and you go around and save people. Very old school idea with a very new school implementation. Try the demo.

Bought the full version as well. Great game. Love the use of the satellite images. It's even cooler when one of the maps is less than a mile from your house (Park La Brea in Los Angeles). I'm stuck on one of the later levels. Anyone have suggestions for the Washington DC level where you have to get inside the "nests" to save the people?

No sh*t, that DC map is killing me!

Great game though.

Thinking seriously of buying Jeopardy as it hits the PSN tonight. It could be quite fun to play with the wife and my parents.

Wheel of Fortune has also been announced but I don't know the date of when it'll be out.

Jeopardy sounds interesting. Hopefully it will be popular online.

A lot of people like these parlor games but on the PS2, they were released without online support.

I see a Monopoly game coming too but we'll see if that has multiplayer.

They could do Trivial Pursuit and Scrabble as well, maybe even make use of the Eye Toy.

Lame that they offer MS2 demo through Qore.

$15 is kinda steep for Jeopardy. They better get good reviews.

Thanks for posting this, Dan. Surprised there's no NBA Live demo today. Wonder what's up with that?

Eurogamer's Wipeout review (9/10). Visuals are said to be absolutely stunning. Seems like a great purchase.

Supposedly it comes out the 25th of this month and it's only $20.

There seems to be a lot of great PSN games coming up - Wipeout, The Last Guy (already out), Flower, Fat Princess, etc...

What's The Last Guy about?

Rodster · Post by **Rodster** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 1:05 pm

I tried The Last Guy and it wasn't my cup of tea. I'm downloading Motorstorm 2. I got the promo code from Gamestop.

Who's purchasing Wipeout HD tonight? I definitely in.

Rodster · Post by **Rodster** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 4:09 pm

I'm getting Wipeout HD as soon as it's released. What time is Sony releasing the game?

edit: The store has been updated, both Burnout and Wipeout have been released. I'm downloading Wipeout right now.

Anyone know if they're selling those cards with PSN credits yet?

So that you don't have to use your credit card directly?

Rodster · Post by **Rodster** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 5:11 pm

I called my local Gamestop and they said it should be out next year.

I just picked up...er...downloaded (I love digital distribution!) Wipeout HD --> really enjoying it, looks gorgeous. Still the same classic wipeout gameplay however so if you didn't like the previous games on PSX, PSP this isn't going to change your mind.

FYI, per PS3fanboy regarding Wipeout crashing:

We're not talking the type of crashing you'd normally associate with WipEout, this is far more frustrating. Since the European PSN Store was updated earlier today we've been hearing reports of people experiencing crashes and game freezing whilst playing WipEout HD. Members of the official European PlayStation forums think they might have the answer. It seems to only be happening to the more sociable PSN users; those with over fifty friends in their friends lists.

There's no word on a fix, other than signing out of the PlayStation Network while you're playing. Obviously, this will prevent you from playing online. PlayStation Forum moderators are looking into the issue as a matter of urgency and hopefully we'll see a solution soon. We've experienced the freezing ourselves (and yes, our friends list is massive, thanks for asking), but an official cause hasn't been confirmed by anything other than anecdotal evidence at this stage.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

I haven't had any issues regarding Wipeout but then again based on the group having problems. I don't play online much.

One thing I did was turn off "Pilot Assist". That was causing me to crash more into the walls. After I turned if off I barely touch the walls. Awesome game and a beautiful one at that. I took a picture and set it as my Wallpaper.

sportdan30 · Post by **sportdan30** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 10:45 pm

Indeed. This game is gorgeous and fun! I'll have to heed your advice and turn off pilot assist.

Goodness the NBA 08 demo is horrendous. Thankfully, I have now confirmed my suspicion that this game was gonna suck, just like the rest of them. I'm not sure how Sony can keep developing these things. They have yet to put out a decent hoops game.

Yeah we all knew that last year.

NBA '09 is slightly better but not by much.

sportdan30 · Post by **sportdan30** » Sat Sep 27, 2008 10:50 am

Yes, NBA '09 is indeed trash. I think it looks very nice, but the gameplay is just horrendously bad.

Wipeout HD is a joy to play. Probably the smoothest game I've ever seen and great for those times when you only want a 10-15 minute session.

Also downloaded the Mega Man 9 demo due to all the hype - I had never experienced it in my younger days. Damn is it hard! I'll probably pass on MM9 and download MM2 on the Wii Virtual Console.
