I need the community's opinion:

Limbo, worth $15?

@AutobotIronhide Absolutely. I actually clicked this article for the sole reason of recommending Limbo to anyone who hasn't played it yet.

Same here. So worth the money. Don't listen to the haters. Limbo is one of my favorite XBLA games and you PSN guys need to pick it up.

Uhhhhhhhhhh... I guess. I really liked the game but the atmosphere gets less interesting as it goes on, if that's what you're in to. The puzzles are good though, so no complaints about the gameplay.

I would pay $20 for Limbo if I didn't already have it.

Relative to everything else on PSN? Not from what I've heard. No. I don't think a 4 hour sidescroller, regardless of quality, is worth $15 with everything else you can get for the same price or less.

Depends on if it's your kind of game. I personally enjoyed it at a $15 price point, but comparing it to a full retail game like Fallout, you get much less than 4 times the game length (compared to 4 times the price). On the other hand, if you play single player games like God of War 3, then the price to time ratio is more or less the same.

Long story short, yes if you think a 3 hour game is good enough for the price.

It's a little bit short on content for $15, but its still an excellent game.

Not from what you've heard huh? Maybe you should stop listening and start playing some games on PSN. Less hype but more filling. Trust me.

Decent update. About to find out what all the hooplah is about with the Borderlands Bundle. I shouldn't be disappointed with all those add-ons.

Ya I hated Underdome. My only gripe with the other ones was the lack of fast travel points. Those were espcially necessary in Knoxx.

I've just played through Borderlands and I'm pretty much done all the DLC.

The game itself was awesome, plenty of content and some good humor too. I finished the Secret Armory and Zombie Island DLC, and I stopped playing when whats her face told me to go collect claptrap parts for the third time in the Robot Revolution DLC. I don't think the DLC was as good as the main game content, each piece had something good in it, but was brought down by something bad (too much driving in SA, zombies weren't interesting in ZI, and grinding isn't fun in RR)... Oh, and good luck doing the arena by yourself (which also isn't that much fun).

Debating on buying the Borderlands bundle for $15...Never played the game, but my backlog is so bad as it is (ME2, Batman AA, Red Dead Redemption, Scott Pilgrim, PixelJunk Shooter 2, Comet Crash, Bomberman Ultra).

@mywhitenoise Borderlands is easily my favorite single-player FPS. Style and sense of humor are spot-on. Drop-in Co-op is fun too, I found it much more easygoing than other shooters. Well worth it at this price

@mywhitenoise I've played Borderlands through 2 playthrough with one character. Maxed out his level, and I'm starting another character now. So I'm on my 3rd time playing this game over. I could easily see myself playing it again with no problem. The DLC is hit and miss. Most of it is good, but some of it has its quirks. I bought the game when it first came out, then I bought it again when the GOY version came out. This is defiantly a game worth playing.

i'm playing chrono trigger for the first time, (lovin it!) about 30% through infamous 2, and i'm pretty sure i'm gonna get borderlands and limbo. There just isn't enough time i think i'm about to have a case of the piggy sniffles. Is that still going around? will my boss buy that excuse?

Here's to hoping FFT:WotL release on PSN will squash a tiny, tiny bit of PSP Go hate. All that is really left that is worth mentioning is FF7:CC, KH:BBS,
Lumines and maaaybe the old FFs.

Borderlands Bundle, is it one download or 5?

1 year of PSN, it worth it? Within the lats year, has there been over $50 worth of free games? (Dont care about minis, avatars, or themes)

@Faenix put it this way. PS+ gives borderlands for 15 if you are a member. Thats 5 bucks right there, and that means you are 10% paid off in the first 5 minutes of getting it. Youll have 15 more months. Myself? I say Ive tripled my investment and Im about to get borderlands. Ive got about 8 months left.

Well over $50 worth of free games, and even more savings in discounts. But it's really only saving you any money if the games that are free or discounted are games that you actually want.

I did what Cavall said, last week there were a lot of sales. I joined PS+ and bought 4 games that I wanted, and it saved me over $10. So that was already 20% of my investement and I still have it for 14 1/2 more months. However, the 15 month deal has ended in USA, not sure about elsewhere, so you can only sign up for 12 months at this point.

Golden Axe is PSN, and it has trophies. I'm pretty sure Borderlands will be 5 downloads, but I haven't boughten it yet so I can't guarantee it.

From everything I hear, Limbo is a great game. But I can't justify spending $15 on a 4 hour sidescroller. $10? Absolutely. But when Pac Man DX and the PixelJunk games are all $10, the precedent for the downloadable value proposition has been set.

Think of your most memorable movie or video game experience that years later you still look back at with such fond memories. Now put a price on that.

Lol, there are very, very few people who would consider Limbo one of the "best experiences they've ever had" or something. You're seriously, seriously exaggerating things.

This is the problem with short downloadable games like this. The smart people who don't waste their money on short games don't buy them, but because they're looking in from the outside, all the people who willingly spend their money on anything try and discredit others' decisions not to waste money.

I don't have Move, but I'll be picking up Fast Draw Showdown just to support the revival of live-action FMV games. I remember playing it and all the other cheesy American Laser Games in arcades. Ah, simpler times...

I'm sorry but $15 for Limbo seems ridiculous.
I'm sure it's good but I just have a hard time accepting the price.
Same with Braid. Glad I waited to get it for $3.75.

Braid is a good game. I recommend it for cheap if you can.
I hate how if someone says something slightly against something, they get downvoted like there's no tomorrow. I just think $15 is too expensive for a year old downloadable game. That's it.
