I know! It's awesome. 3 Chocobo games!

That said, at least the EU service has Magic Carpet. Anyone who hasn't played that game yet really, really needs to.

Wait wait, Grandia is coming? Holy cow, I can't wait! Always wanted to play that one! Guess I'll be adding some points this Thursday.

Sweet!!! your so going to love saints row 2 .

So anyone excited for this??http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/02/coming-to-psn-this-wee...

Firaag brought it up not too long ago. Apparently he and I are the only other ones looking forward to it. Looks like a great game, though, and just up my alley. Plus, $10 is a steal considering what it usually goes for on the second-hand market.

Not anymore put me on the "buying day one list". I think im equally as excited

@WaltzElf: I don't have Trophies in Puzzle Quest. As you say, that game has no Trophies. I DO have Trophies in Puzzle Quest: GALACTRIX, however. Which, by the way, isn't particularly worth the $20 they want for it.

As for Magic Carpet: Is it really that good? It just released on the American PSN last Thursday, but I'm skeptical about its actual quality. I read the one user review on GameFAQs, but the text of the review didn't match the perfect score it gave, so I can't really trust it.

Re: Grandia. Sounds pretty sweet to me! I've never played it, mostly because it's kinda pricy to get a disc nowadays. The $10 download fixes that problem quite nicely.

That sucks. I am loving Puzzle Quest, but Galactix (which I had on DSi) was woeful. I'm not buying it for trophies

As for Magic Carpet - I have the game on disc still. I also have the PC original but unfortunately PCs are too fast for the game these days

It's pretty much my favourite retro game. Visually it's obviously very simple by today's startards - a very rudimentary 3D world with 2D sprites for characters, but the gameplay itself is awesome. Flying around a open world, killing stuff with magic in a very arcade-style FPS is just plain fun. I was seriously tempted to download it as well, simply to show support for the franchise and hope EA resurrects it in glorious HD.

Also, I have discovered that I really like Dante's Inferno. From what I've read, it's the start of the game that is the good part, but I'm loving the atmosphere, the combat system, and the concept of being in hell. God of War clone or not, it's good, unwholesome fun.

Also, got my first Star Ocean trophy! I've now got 1% of trophies, after 2 1/2 hours play. This is going to be a long dig... great game though - very similar to Star Ocean 3 on the PS2, which I played some 200 hours of.

@WaltzElf.... dude you have so sparked some intense curisoty on this Magic Carpet game, think Ill be downloading it tonight to take to the doctors office tomorrow lol. New chance to play a cool old retro game I missed is awesome. As for Dantes Inferno.... screw the reviews as they can only go so far to the truth and of course EVERY one of them compares it God of War as usual. I want to play it and Darksiders myself.

Grandia is AWESOME, if yall havent played it, buy it.

So, this local video store chain is closing in my hometown and my wife stopped by tonight and not only did she bring home some killer Star Wars Bobblehead Collectibles to add to my growing collection of everything Boba Fett and Sith lol, but she also told me to stop by tomorrow as they had a few PS3/DS games on the cheap and said one was "aegea 3 or something for like $10 bucks" my guess is Disgaea 3 and if it is Im getting it to play sometimes well maybe next year lol.

..... oh she also grabbed Heavy Rain

Good move - I really, really rate Magic Carpet as a genuine classic. It's a big game too - 50+ levels will take you literally hours to complete, especially considering how difficult later levels get (and I'm talking real hardcore difficult - they'll make you cry). It just requires you to get past the primitive 3D graphics. But even then, primitive as they are, I never found the game offensive or ugly.

Dante's Inferno isn't original. I know that. It steals ideas left right and centre from God of War. But it executes them really well, and it has something God of War doesn't - Hell, and the mythology of hell to draw on. I personally find that more interesting (by far) than Greek-style mythology.

Yes, it's brainless, but also great fun. It and Star Ocean are definately going to tide me over until FFXIII.

Also, there's an expansion DLC coming that will come with online co-op. If anyone else gets the game, I'll be happy to play.

@slapshot Disgaea 3 @ 10$, doesn't get much better than that. Great game, very niche though so it's not for everyone. The writing is simply hilarious and random .

Hello. I just got my ps3 2 days ago on Monday. It is awesome!I should have bought it sooner but I have no idea which games to purchase. Can anyone make some recommendations?

Infamous and Soulcaliber 4 are musts. Probably added more hours into those than most non-Brawl Wii games combined.

BTW, be sure to add xnintendorkx on PSN when you get an account.

thanks for the recommendations, I'll look into those games.

Chunk:HEY YOU GUYS!!! lol (Sorry...i loved the goonies film)

Does anyone here clean their PS3?

I clean it every week atleast once and vacuum the vents.

I never clean anything

I figure the constant exposure to dust builds up my console's immune system

@Slappy: Cool deals are great, but it stinks the local store is shutting down.

@WaltzElf: You almost had me on Magic Carpet, until you mentioned the difficulty. Now I'm DEFINITELY not interested.

@Sean007s: I dusted the top of my system off yesterday. It looks much nicer now.

@FMKz.... yeah man, Little Big Planet, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Uncharted and Uncharted 2 (Are MUST BUY GAMES), Ratchet and Clank Games, Demon Souls.... so many..... What kind of games exactly are you looking for as the PS3 pretty much has great game in every category to fit different playstyles.

@Sean.... yep, I especially dust off the vents about once a week on both the PS3s just cause it gives me peace of mind I guess.

@Alex.... What, aye maybe I should try that with my allergies and just stop taking meds for stronger immune systems..... Im doing it..... oh crap the doctor just gave me a shot and Im going to have to start in about 3 months when its out of my sytem, then its ON!

@Waltz.... aye I watched some youtube vids and how much of the RTS builing elements are there in it, cause i really dislike RTS games.

@Sean007

Um...dude, how much does the Fallout DLC cost on the PS3? 'cuz I just checked it out on the Xbox 360, and it costs twice as much as I thought it did. I'm definitely not getting the standard edition, since I'd definitely want all the expansion packs, and the GOTY edition would save me, like, $20. I could buy another game with that money.

@Waltz.... aye I watched some youtube vids and how much of the RTS builing elements are there in it, cause i really dislike RTS games.

None. As you kill more stuff, you can make your castle grow bigger. Once it gets to a certain size (depending on the level), you win the level. That's it. There's no RTS about it

@Waltz..... aight thanks, I just saw what looked like a RTS menu pop up when the guy was playing it and then a castle piece dropped down, and was like crap lol. Im getting the Uncharted 2 DLC tonight for sure, but going out of town next weekend and will prob grab it before I go and drop it on my PSP.
