Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington, Soon-To-Be-PSN: OrIsItAltonBrown] @ Sep 17th 2009 7:49PM

I'd recommend the original Final Fantasy Tactics to anyone. Great game.

Zexion_VI @ Sep 17th 2009 7:52PM

Or get the superior PSP remake, lol.

DrunkRaba @ Sep 17th 2009 7:52PM

Thanks you I was wondering. Looks a lot like Disagea which I liked a lot.

Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington, Soon-To-Be-PSN: OrIsItAltonBrown] @ Sep 17th 2009 7:56PM

"Superior" version or not, it's worth getting. "LOL" somewhere else.

Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington, Soon-To-Be-PSN: OrIsItAltonBrown] @ Sep 17th 2009 7:59PM

Unless you were "LOL"ling to be jolly. In that case, may I join you?

Zexion_VI @ Sep 17th 2009 8:04PM

Its a habit, and either way, you get a great game.I just prefer the translation of TWotL, along with Baltheir...

Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington, Soon-To-Be-PSN: OrIsItAltonBrown] @ Sep 17th 2009 8:06PM

The translations is MAGNITUDES better in WotL.

Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington, Soon-To-Be-PSN: OrIsItAltonBrown] @ Sep 17th 2009 8:06PM

They is!

Bradwart @ Sep 17th 2009 8:15PM

Is it comparable to the GBA version?

Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington, Soon-To-Be-PSN: OrIsItAltonBrown] @ Sep 17th 2009 8:20PM

It's much better.

Wardo @ Sep 17th 2009 8:28PM

I'll have to disagree with you Alton, though I respect your taste in RPG's. I personally preferred the simplicity of FFTA, I could not put that game down.

Not to say that Final Fantasy Tactics is not worth the download, both are fantastic games.

Bradwart @ Sep 17th 2009 8:30PM

I still need to finish Chrono Trigger DS...I love that game.

Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington, Soon-To-Be-PSN: OrIsItAltonBrown] @ Sep 17th 2009 8:43PM

Chrono Trigger is in my top 5 of all time.

Wardo @ Sep 17th 2009 8:52PM

By all means finish Chrono Trigger first, one of the greatest RPG's of all time!

Bradwart @ Sep 17th 2009 9:01PM

If people didn't try to scalp the nitwits, I'd buy it for SNES. Too expensive, though. Some nutjob was trying to sell a boxed mint copy for 4,000. >:O

Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington, Soon-To-Be-PSN: OrIsItAltonBrown] @ Sep 17th 2009 9:09PM

I have it on SNES. Got it in a pawn shop. Seriously, those places have great shit sometimes.

Wardo @ Sep 17th 2009 9:11PM

I'd love to have an original copy of Chrono Trigger but in all honesty the DS version is probably the ultimate edition of the game.

At least I have my original copy of FFVI which is actually superior to it's GBA counterpart.

Bradwart @ Sep 17th 2009 9:30PM

I've got my local mom and pop game shop on the lookout for a copy of CT on SNES for me.

Kira @ Sep 17th 2009 11:38PM

Yeah, time to by Tactics again. Yeah, Tactics Advanced made me vomit blood, I'm glad that travesty won't be released on PSN.

Levi @ Sep 18th 2009 12:37AM

I still have the SNES version of Chrono Trigger. I remember loving it, so I popped it back in last year, or early this year, or whatever. It just wasn't the same. I got about a quarter through it before I sadly yanked it out and popped Super Metroid back in.

Disappointing, I know. Don't hate me for it :/

i just had to say Alton's comments are full of win here tho ^_^

under13warrior @ Sep 17th 2009 7:50PM

Yay arkham DLC!!

Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington, Soon-To-Be-PSN: OrIsItAltonBrown] @ Sep 17th 2009 7:57PM

Anyone have the Arkham DLC? What's it like?

Filthy Assistant @ Sep 17th 2009 10:22PM

It's a survival combat challenge (but where you have normal health, not one-hit kill like Dem Bones) that takes place in the records room, and then a predator challenge map. Nothing huge, but very nice for free.

Markez @ Sep 17th 2009 7:52PM

Ooh, a FREE Katamari theme!? This is the best thing to happen to me! Since, um, when I bought the thing, um, yesterday. I thought Trine was PSN and XBLA? Lest I read my last issue of Game Informer wrong?

DrunkRaba @ Sep 17th 2009 7:53PM

It's PSN, and in Europe only right now. Probably in the states in another week or two.

Markez @ Sep 17th 2009 7:56PM

If I'm a Katamari nut, does that mean I'll automatically like Noby Noby Boy?

Sly (PSN: SniperChameleon) @ Sep 17th 2009 8:05PM

wait, you got a PS3?

Markez @ Sep 17th 2009 8:06PM

Indeed I did, Sly! Now I just need to find a cheap place to buy a 2nd controller.

PS - Your friends list is maxed out, you bum.

Bradwart @ Sep 17th 2009 8:22PM

Amazon usually sells DS3's for 42-much cheaper than in store.

Might want to look at a set of Real Triggers for em too.

Saihna @ Sep 17th 2009 8:38PM

Yeah, I tried adding sly, it wouldn't go through. xD

Sly (PSN: SniperChameleon) @ Sep 17th 2009 8:45PM

i cleared out a space for markez right after posting that comment. saihna, just wait a sec, mmk?

Sly (PSN: SniperChameleon) @ Sep 17th 2009 8:49PM

alright, i've got 3 open spaces. one for markez, one for sainha, and one other slot. add away!

Wardo @ Sep 17th 2009 8:54PM

Sly do you hardly even go on your other profile, I haven't seen you sign on to that one in quite a while?

Saihna @ Sep 17th 2009 9:02PM

I can't add anyone currently, downloading mag beta updates, also my psn is Sinawsm, not saihna.

Sly (PSN: SniperChameleon) @ Sep 17th 2009 9:07PM

mcknifington is only for COD:WAW, and lately i've been playing arkham asylum and COD4. sniper is the account for all non-COD:WAW games. in fact, mcknifington isn't going to get ANY use until MW2 comes out. and that would only be for like 3 days, just so i can get used to MW2 multiplayer. feel free to delete it if you want.

Wardo @ Sep 17th 2009 9:12PM

Nah it's cool I have a lot of room, I was just wondering.

Sly (PSN: SniperChameleon) @ Sep 17th 2009 9:19PM

it's pretty much not going to see any use, it's just going to take up room on your friends list. but keep it added if you want.

Bagels: Almost certainly not as stupid as you think. Also, Memes. @ Sep 17th 2009 10:09PM

What's yours, Markez? I wanna add a fine chap as yerself. (PSN: WolfLogic)

Finito @ Sep 17th 2009 10:35PM

Hey Sly, can you make some space for me too? :) (PSN: Wretched_Walrus)

Jimmijam @ Sep 17th 2009 7:55PM

Gaaa... no Oddworld again!! Damn you! Damn you all!

Reuben @ Sep 17th 2009 10:15PM

I had my fingers crossed for Oddworld, but alas, it was not to be.

aristokrat @ Sep 17th 2009 7:59PM

When do PSP games start coming out for download? I want RBU, but no chance I'm getting the UMD version.

Andrew Yoon @ Sep 17th 2009 8:01PM

There are already a few PSP games available to download on the PlayStation Store. All new releases starting 10/1 will be available as downloads.

Jason B. @ Sep 17th 2009 8:05PM

Some are already out, but a lot more on October 1 when the PSP Go is released

Lunastra78 (PSN: lunastra78) @ Sep 17th 2009 8:01PM

PES10 demo is out too, and is (surprisingly) better than Fifa10 demo, imo.

TreyIM @ Sep 17th 2009 8:33PM

PES 2010 is only in the EU store. I downloaded it hours ago. I always check that store, first, since they are 5 hrs ahead of my EST. Got Fifa last week from there, as well.

As a heads up to all, Ninja Gaiden 2 is in the Japanese store. Got that this morning, and surprisingly, it has English cutscenes.

pmagic @ Sep 18th 2009 3:54PM

how did you log on to the playstation store EU please ! i need to play this pes 2010 demo thanks in advance

Fakeplasticball @ Sep 17th 2009 8:07PM

Critter crunch? no. that is all.

davebo @ Sep 17th 2009 8:13PM

Could you stop copy and pasting the Rock Band DLC from the previous week in the PSN updates? This has happened before too.

Indefinite Implosion @ Sep 17th 2009 9:06PM

I know! It's so annoying!
Here's the correct one http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/11/rock-band-weekly-tenacious-d-anvil-dinosaur-jr-the-guess-wh/#x360+ps3
