Marceles6153d ago

The Heavenly Sword demo, 1.9 firmware, and the launch of Hot Shots Golf 5 in Japan...things are really picking up

Phantom_Lee6153d ago

I have been waiting for the custom background for awhile now..

BISHOP-BRASIL6153d ago

As I've thinked, looks like the in-game access to XMB will come only in the 2.0 update...

Anyway, this are quite good features to come.

R0l36153d ago

It's a good enough update, I suppose the 2.00 will come out next month.

Sevir046153d ago

of the xmb in game so this is just one step closer to that. in any case it's freakin great to see sony continuing to do so much everytime they update. the changing of BG is a nice touch. bring it over here and i'll be happy

WET and Quantum Theory were both phenomenal

I remember Stranglehold! One of the first DLC packs of its time. A bit expensive, but cheap by today’s standards.

Another PS3 hidden gems list, and yet again Time Crisis 4 and Time Crisis Razin' Storm get snubbed. Such fun games, that shouldn't be forgotten. If only we got a home port of Time Crisis 5: Mastermind Edition.

WET is something I wish they'd remake, they had so many great ideas but not all of them were executed properly

It had a lot of potential

Also Wanted Weapons of Fate is another game that had some new fun gameplay ideas.

It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.
