First, why is this game that you can’t even pre-order in the “sale”?

Second…

And yes, I’m logged in to my account.

I don’t know what’s up on Steam, but I pre-ordered Arkham Knight on GMG months ago for $37.50.

I’m interested in Tron 2.0 but does it have a lot of jumping/platform puzzles? Because I hate those. NOLF (original) by Monolith is one of my favorite games.

Also, how is the mod?

Mod, what are you talking about?

Eh … not really puzzles, but you do often move from platform to platform to avoid it being a corridor game, and you will often die if you miss the jump. That said, you can save anywhere.

I hate jumping in most FPS titles too, and Tron has plenty, but it is well done. Really tightly made game, graphics hold up too due to their tron-nature.

3 Playstation games are being given away for free this weekend in their store:

Mirror’s Edge - PS3
Need for Speed MW - Vita
Plants vs Zombies GW - PS4

WarpRattler · 2014-12-06T12:22:31.000Z

Went ahead and grabbed all of them, though I wish it were the PS3 version of Garden Warfare instead so that I could actually play it.

KaoFloppy · 2014-12-06T20:57:08.000Z

That’s Sony’s way of making sure you’ll buy a PS4 & keep subscribing later. It’s how I’m playing Resogun when I bought my PS4 last month.

And thanks Gigglemoo! Odd that I don’t see this mentioned in Sony’s blog. They seem to be free for everyone, no need for PSPlus subscription? Wow.

Razgon · 2014-12-07T00:02:01.000Z

Its also not just for North America - I downloaded it just fine.

Yeah, I’m going to have so many PS Plus games to play when I get my ps4 on Christmas. Resogun is top of the list.

Rock8man · 2014-12-07T04:19:57.000Z

Yeah, it’s Sony’s way of enticing me to eventually buy a PS3 again. I doubt if it will happen, but if it ever does, man, I’ll have so many free games to download for the PS3. It’ll take me a month just to download my PS3 games, from what I remember of PS3 download speeds. Also if I do get a PS3 again, I guess this time it’ll have to be with a gigantic hard drive.

My PS3 has become my daughter’s Frozen/Tangled blu ray player - wish I could just play all the digital PS3 games on the PS4.

Steam today: Lichdom: Battlemage - $13.19 - (70% off).

Steam weeklongs, which will have to tie us over until Christmas. Anything interesting?

You added my recommendation after the wrong game, Kao.

scharmers · 2014-12-08T10:33:00.000Z

Yeah, we know you’re just HUGE on The Last Express.

Hey, Brian, that Distant Worlds game looks like a space shooter or something. Have you checked it out on your site yet?

:)
