this was one of the first PSN games I bought and still one of the best

spunnups4295d ago

yup, this and Fl0w and calling all cars, and dont forget the rubber duckie game

darthv724295d ago

challenging and fun in so many ways. I also had flow at one time. sony gave it away as a freebie and I had it before I updated my hdd. I still have trophies for it but sadly it isnt available in my download history.

I asked sony and they basically said that free games are no longer available for re-download. :-(

I wish Housemarque would make another for psn instead of doomed handhelds. That or another Dead Nation.

smashcrashbash4295d ago

Yeah I was with you until doomed handhelds. That deserved a disagree.

ginsunuva4295d ago

Housemarque's games are practically meant to be on handhelds

spunnups4295d ago

Stardust and Dead Nation, both stellar games, love their fast paced arcade action with in depth gameplay...Housemarquee has gotta be one of the most undertated developers out there...

OllieBoy4295d ago

Housemarque has been amazing on PSN.

Super Stardust HD = Best twin-stick shooter this generation
Dead Nation = Best zombie game this generation

I plan to snag Stardust VR soon. It is on PSN sale for cheap.

FTLmaster1123d ago

Do it! It’s a seriously addictive experience. Housemarque is the master of modern arcade classic gameplay. Curious to see how Returnal turns out tbh.

Knushwood Butt1122d ago

Thanks. Downloaded it and will be playing it shortly.

Pre-ordered Returnal too.

P_Bomb1123d ago

Loved Alienation. Good co-op!

Knushwood Butt1122d ago (Edited 1122d ago )

Yep, had a lot of fun playing it with my kids. Although they always fight over the drops.

ArchangelMike1120d ago

Dead Nation is a classic, Definately one of their best games.

Damn it sucks they won't be doing any SP games anymore.

arkard2349d ago

Agreed, I found d their games to be fun and enjoyable... To bad I seem to be the minority.

TGG_overlord2349d ago

Well, I haven't played all of their games, but "Nex Machina" is pretty darn cool imo.

BrianOBlivion2349d ago

I didn't read that. I've read that while they are planning to expand into multiplayer, the only thing they've decided to give up on is the top-down arcade shooter style of games because the last couple have sold in decreasing amounts.
Too bad for me as I've enjoyed most of their games. Now I feel bad that I didn't buy Matterfall but I just didn't like the addition of platforming into the mix.
I haven't read anywhere that those MP games wouldn't include SP.

"I didn't read that. I've read that while they are planning to expand into multiplayer, the only thing they've decided to give up on is the top-down arcade shooter style of games because the last couple have sold in decreasing amounts."

- Ah, now I got what @TheOttomatic91 meant with "Damn it sucks they won't be doing any SP games anymore.". Well, to be fair, "Matterfall" isn't exactly one of their better titles...

Einhander19712349d ago (Edited 2349d ago )

Um don't expect anything good from these guys anymore.

Atticus_finch2349d ago

IDK what to expect. Me and my GF love HM hopefully they keep making couch coop games.
