Get that if you haven't played through it yet.

People who paid 60 bucks for it at launch had a right to be ticked off. It's 6 hours and very linear. There's literally nothing left to do after that point.

For 5 bucks or so, it's well worth a play, however. The game is gorgeous, and while the game play is derivative, it's fun enough for a quiet afternoon.

If I can just offer a different review:
Playing Monopoly on PS4 can be nice if you are playing with, say, one friend and you want to add some AIs to make the game more interesting. (Can play with up to 6 players like original game.) Played last night with my wife and we had a good time. Also, for me at least, not having to count through cash or do any math was nice. Although I do wish there was a way to turn off animations as I don't really care too much to watch the dice roll or the pieces move lol.

Great prices for Jackbox games. Fibbage and Quiplash are fantastic party games.

Store on the PS4 is fine, along with the mobile app. Their web page has been busted since the 2nd last week or so of their Holiday Sale. Heck, it says that sale is still on :) Time to hire some new devs ...

It's been awful. Moreover, I got charged 39.99 for Farming Simulator on Friday afternoon, even though it was clearly listed as on sale for 9.99. Eventually got my money back, but the amount of brokering I had to do with the playstation cs agents was ridiculous given how obvious the error was.

Never did end up getting to buy the game, since I have to wait 4 days for the refund to go through, and the sale will be long gone by then.

My best guess is that a higher power saw the size of my backlog and said 'we're going to create some technical problems so you can't actually buy the game.' Makes sense to me.

I couldn't disagree more with this. The guitar-based gameplay in Um Jammer Lammy allows for far more interesting freestyling. There's also way more replay value, as in addition to the Lammy single-player mode you can also play through the game as Parappa instead of Lammy (with new rap mixes instead of the guitar mixes and different cutscenes), there is 2-player co-op (both Lammy/Rammy and Lammy/Parappa), and there is also 2-player versus (both Lammy vs. Rammy and Lammy vs. Parappa).

I've played a ton of rhythm games over the years and Um Jammer Lammy is absolutely one of my favorites and easily my top pick of the "Rodney Greenblat" titles.

The web store has been absolutely terrible for a month or two now. They must have updated/changed it and messed it up badly. Now when you load a US link it has a pop up saying "go to the Canadian store" that it never did for me before and it takes a good 5-10 seconds to just load your account information and check your region or if you have PS Plus for discounts.

At $5, if anybody complains about that game, they're lunatics in my mind.

I paid almost full price for The Order and I didn't regret it. These shorter story driven games are my favorite genre. I was a bit annoyed that the price dropped so much so quickly, but I'm more upset that there will likely never be any more games in this universe.

I have no idea how people think this game looks good. With the blurry resolution, the "cinematic" black bars through the entire game, obnoxious use of motion blur and DOF, and awful textures, this was by far the single worst looking PS4 exclusive I've played. Then you have the bland characters and mind numbing long winded boring cutscenes and average at best gameplay. I generally enjoy linear shooters and rarely ever complain when spending $5 on anything but this game was a complete slog to play through. It's a 6/10 if you're being generous and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they have absolutely nothing else to play

Damn, how did I miss out on Gauntlet when it was a PS Plus freebee? I must not have activated it that month, but I do have FC3: BD in my transaction history, which was from the same month.

Oh well, is it worth $5?

Agreed. The Odor: Ain't Seen, Sick of This.

This is just fps fodder, with no replay value, a predictable storyline, and a forgettable concept.

Such a white bread title preying on PS Exclusive seekers that it doesn't even make it as a PSPlus freebie, and the game has been discounted continuously like it is going out of style.

Maybe when it was released it filled a void for a british science fiction shooter, or steam punkness, but the fact is they have had to push this game on people for one reason or another is a sign your time may be wasted.

Watch the trailer it basically saves you the $5 and gives you the cinematic experience, which I commend but will not re-commend for play-through.

The game is fun for playing it with my girlfriend for sure. I notice there is a may editor on sale as well. I am not sure if I want to edit the map, is there any edited map available ?

Picked up Necropolis. Played for awhile last night coop and we like it. Got a couple levels deep and died by getting too confident.

The only other game I looked at was DC2. Recently sold all my PS2 games and thats one I never got to playing... maybe with this sale. Graphics hold up decently.

Why would someone choose Metal Slug 3 over Anthology?
