Game Revolution writes: "If there's one word that describes a sport that generally demands the physical ability to swing your body and walk, and whose target demographic is elderly men with nothing better to do, it's "casual" - and it's this quality which is the focus of Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds.
With the exception of perhaps MySims (if you exclude the annoying residents) and Nintendogs (if you exclude the virtual poop), Out of Bounds is just about the most relaxing experience you can ever have. The soundtrack is airy and light - just slightly more exciting than Muzak. Characters are smooth and plump with big, expressive heads and apparently well-lotioned bodies. Environments are wide with gentle, rolling hills, bright green grass, and clear skies. Rain comes in delicate pitter-patters and winds never rise beyond a semi-calm breeze. I've always found it odd how the weather in this and most other golf games can change so drastically from hole to hole, but the cheery mood still hits the sweet spot between cartoony and realistic."
+ Casual and simple
+ Relaxed and unfussy
+ Online mode
- Lack of solo modes
- Not very difficult
- Repetitive and slow-moving

Continuing our tradition of offering a great PSN sale to start the year off right, we’re back in 2013 with the “13 for ‘13” sale on PlayStation Network. Starting tomorrow, January 22nd, and running through January 28th, we’re bringing you 13 great PS3 games at 50% off their regular price, and PlayStation Plus members can save even more with 75% off each title. Additionally, we’re upping the ante this year by bringing you 13 of the hottest, most critically acclaimed films of the previous year at great prices!
Will be picking up LBPK for 10 dollars. This might be the closest PS3 users will get to a steam sale on PSN.
A step in the right direction, Sony.
@Nitrowolf2, I have the Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank collections on Disc, but if I didn't that would be a great way to get into those games.
Unfinished Swan was on sale during the Holiday Essentials sale and I missed it, so this time I don't plan on doing that again.
The Unfinished Swan – Regular $14.99, Sale $7.49, PS Plus $3.75
Ratchet & Clank – Regular $14.99, Sale $7.49, PS Plus $3.75
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy – Regular $7.99, Sale $3.99, PS Plus $2.00
Already have the colelction, but since I'm Plus those prices are just to good to miss.
Those are the three I'm planning on getting :P
I think. lol.
Great sale!
Edit: LBP Karting looks fun too, though. Not sure whether to get LBPK and US or US, R&C, and J&D. I need a sale where all four of those cost $15 haha.
@Calis
Yeah I am, $2.00 is dirt cheap, it'll be nice to have the extra digital version.
Those are actually some really great PS Plus discounts, especially for the likes of LBP Karting and Unfinished Swan
What is that I read on the title? Games and MOVIES? can someone check up on that? is this true? or just a bad title..
SPC writes, "Like Uncharted: Drake's Fortune before it, recently Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots received a long-awaited patch, enabling trophies for prospective collectors to obtain. That sparked an interest in me to see what other games in the PlayStation 3 library that came out before Sony and third-parties' implementation of the trophy system. These five following games are ones that I would no doubt be interested in playing through again if such a trophy patch were to be included, though the likelihood is not that high."
Deployed last July for the Japanese edition, the patch adding Move and 3D support to the latest iteration of Minna No Golf is now available for the Western versions as well (namely Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds and Everybody's Golf: World Tour). First impressions and pics.
I havent had this much fun in awhile. The lobbys themselves are a blast to be in...its chaos, Gameplay is solid and GFX are great on 53' hdtv. HGS OOB ROX!!!!!!!!!
