I wasn't blown away with the board game despite all the hype surrounding it, but in the game's defense, the guy who owned the copy I played was not the best teacher. For $6.50 I may just have to give it another go.
It's certainly not my favorite board game ever or anything, but it's solid fun, and I want more good board games on PSN. Online multiplayer with NLife friends...what's not to like?

Watch it Sean, these kinda sayings can come back and bite lol.
Im really thinking about running through Heavenly Sword, Ghostbusters, Avatar and Xmen Origins on the quick to knock out soem of these games. Having so much to play seems like a lame complaint, but I have ADHD and its really getting to me for some reason.
(Using the Wii internet browser) Well now my back tooth hurts badly,and I got a splitting headache. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆!!!!

More good board games would certainly be nice. Are there even any at this point in time on PSN? I know XBLA has a few, but for some reason PSN and WiiWare are lacking in this area. Of course, it's mostly Euro games, which I'm not really into.
@Adam... yep Hasbro Family Game Night, but its a bit pricey.
What is up with PSN Games pricing going up. Anyone else starting to notice this? I got $50 PSN Card for my birthday and I think Im going to let it sit and grab stuff when it goes on sale only. Get the most out of it, and I dont need anything else new at the moment.
I did hold up to what I posted earlier and started up Heavenly Sword for a quick playthru to knock a short game out. Wow.... that is what I gotta say. Im really impressed at what I played and cant wait to get home tomorrow to fire it back up.
.... oh and my work hours got changed to 6-2:30pm M-F. Back to five days a week but only 8 hours a day, so no more gameday Fridays, but I will be on a lot more during the week now.

@Feenie: What's your PSNID, anyway? I recently tried friending "PhoenixSage," only to find out it was a different person.
@Adam: Yeah, pretty much just Hasbro Family Game Night. I recommend it 'cause I love Scrabble and also enjoy the occasional games of Connect 4, Sorry!, or Yahtzee. I hate it when people say it's expensive, simply 'cause the full set costs $70 on XBLA. I got it on PSN when it was on sale for $24, though.
@Slappy: What is it with people complaining about the rising cost of downloadable games without considering the (on average) rising quality/scope of the games themselves? Only game I really think was horribly overpriced was Puzzle Quest: Galactrix, and still it's hard to complain since it cost even MORE retail on handhelds. Then again, so does Puzzle Chronicles, but it's only $10 to download. I dunno.
Anyway, we've still got more lower-priced games coming out on PSN than are releasing on XBLA nowadays, and the price is almost always more worth the game than on WiiWare.

Ah, didn't realize that, but I meant more adult board games, not mainstream family games. Good for families, I'm sure, but not exactly what I'd be looking for. XBLA for instance has Ticket to Ride, Carcassone, Settlers, Wits and Wagers, and others. Wits and Wagers particularly sounds like a lot of fun.
@Adam: Wits and Wagers is a piece of steaming crap. I HATED the demo. Carcassone is very good, but I didn't much care for Ticket to Ride (though at least I don't HATE it). I'd much rather have Empire Builder, preferably with DLC for other boards.
There's evidence that these companies are open to licencing their board games to digital versions (Empire Builder and Robo Rally both have PC versions available to download), but it seems they want developers to ask for it. So unless you know somebody who'd be great for the job that we could beg, it probably won't happen.
Stuff, can I assume you played the demo with friends? Because if you played with AI or online strangers, well, of course it wouldn't be good. I read someone review it poorly once because he didn't like the AI, but it's a game based just as much on knowing your opponents as knowing trivia.
Of course, now that I think about it, might as well get the board game if it's only good with friends, but the reason I'm interested in the XBLA version is that I don't have a 360, so I can use that to pressure my friend into being the one to buy it, haha.
As for the other games, I was just naming examples. I haven't played but a demo of one of them a long time ago, briefly, without really understanding what I was doing. I think it was Carcassone, but I don't remember.
I'd love to see Cosmic Encounter done on a download service, though I imagine it'd be difficult. The web version has seen a serious decline in players, which is really sad, as I used to play that more than Nintendo. Citadels would also be nice as the only electronic version is a Java app with no online or local multiplayer, only AI.
Also, there's a PC version of Robo Rally?! I've been wanting to try that forever.
Yes, an official one with a board editor, at that! I have no idea if it's any good though, 'cause I don't have a computer.
As for Wits and Wagers: I'm not really sure if I played it with people or not, but my brother agrees the very CONCEPT is terrible, so I guess it's just not for us. We're not really big on trivia stuff in general, though.

Catan is coming to the American PSN on June 15th for only $6.49, according to the official website. I expected $10, so that's great news!
It's not really. It really is a disappointing edition of the game, and $6.49 is not "only" at all. That's all the game's worth. It's a cheap and nasty digital version of a great game. The iPhone version is better and cheaper.
@AlexSays: Oh, there are games coming out... Toy Story 3, LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4, Alpha Protocol, Tiger Woods 11 PGA Tour, and Green Day Rock Band are all multi-system including PS3 (only the first of which do I particularly care about). PSP has Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker, as well as the lesser-known Hexyz Force (Atlus RPG) and Disgaea Infinite. Then there's Mega Man Zero Collection, Puzzle Quest 2, and 100 Classic Books on DS. Also, Sin & Punishment Star Successor on Wii. Is there really nothing from that entire list that interests you?
@WaltzElf: Well, I don't have an iPhone (or any cell phone, for that matter). And considering the tendency to price games in even $5 increments, this game could've EASILY gone for $10. Probably would on WiiWare, since Nintendo loves to jack up prices.

Bah, does anyone know if there's a way to fix the split screen mode in Resident Evil 5? There's so much unused space...

@stuff.... carcassone was indeed a fun game on Live I put a good few hours into it. I'm passing on catan, but I do want to grab the board game of it. I for one don't like the increased prices on downloadable games and if its over $10 it needs a platinum imo. Sales are now weekly and I'm sure most everyone else are now waiting on sales to buy the games as well. Heck I paid $15 for wakeboarding HD and a month later its half off.

Well now I hope you now I'm going to be lazy and say that for every month just so you'll list all the games. lol
I'll play Tiger just to see if it's any better and Sin and Punishment just to see how it is. I heard Alpha Protocol was a disappointment so I'm not as eager to give that a whirl. Nothing I'll buy though or even be that quick to rent.
There's no huge games coming out though for a while, likely till past August.
@Feenie: What's your PSNID, anyway? I recently tried friending "PhoenixSage," only to find out it was a different person.
lol, how'd that turn out for ya?
Yeah I was kind of miffed that somebody stole my name. What a stealer. However, if you were to try PhoenixSage123, you may have better luck... :3
