PsN ThUrsdAy: ThE BlUe BoMber's WipEout PaRadIse

i dont see any good deals.
only fair market prices for those items.

These are not the droids you are looking for.

Aww, I was really tempted for a minute, need a decent racing game on my PS3 for stoner parties :P

Is this wipeout psn only?

Or at least that's what a dev said on a site yesterday.

Apparently, nobody got the memo.

Hi guys,
We don't have a firm release date from our publishers yet - should know more this week, but we're hoping it'll be sometime in the next few weeks.

We've worked really hard on this PS3 version, I think you'll all like it, and it's a lot different to the XBLA version - we've made loads of improvements over the original.

For those of you who've not heard of Geon before (we're not calling it Geon:Emotions anymore!), in a nutshell it's an arcade sports game - you've got to score 5 goals before your opponent, and to do that you've got to beat them at collecting the pellets on your grid.. sounds easy? Well that's where the powerballs come in- you can use them to stop your opponent getting the lead!

The game is all about playing one-on-one competition and thanks to Sony's free matchmaking PSN services it's got loads of 2 and 4 player online modes that you can play right away ! You can also play splitscreen if you're not online!

You don't have to play online or with someone though, there's also minigames, time attack and single player league mode, so hopefully something for everyone!

There's a linky to pretty things here:

Says it's called Geon Emotions in the PS Store.

it says $ 20 on this webpage.

There was a misinterpretation somewhere. They're allowing pre-orders today, and the demo will come out some other time.

I played the demo while waiting for Wipeout HD to download. I do have to say this. It is hard. But of course when the respawn rates of the birds with rocks is twice as fast as the egg droppers, the pit blaster characters now spawn as many as four in a single trip, and of course no checkpoint until AFTER the three elephants, how can it not be hard? Oh, I know...

HOW ABOUT I GET SLIDE AND CHARGE SHOT BACK?!? Seriously, this game shouldn't BE labeled Megaman 9. It should be Megaman 2.5. Especially since moves which he's had SINCE Megaman 3 are now an extra $2.

The sad part? You guys are totally supporting this, and encouraging them to do more of it in the future...

Damn right I am! It's an awesome game. The challenge is a big part of the appeal. The lack of a charge shot encourages using your special weapons. (I managed to beat it last night. It was the most accomplished I've felt about beating a game in years.)

I've played through the demo 4 or 5 times, and it's great. Never played any other Mega Man game though (some how i missed out back during the NES days). I'll probably cave eventually.

There's always the Mega MAn Anniversary Collection. (Though don't get the Game Cube version. The controls are wonky.)
