Toronto Thumbs Review: Ricochet

From the review:

"Many of us grew up playing games like Breakout and Arkanoid; these sideways-one-sided-pong-type games are easy to pick up and very addictive. Just look at any Blackberry owner riding public transit: I can guarantee that at least half of them are playing Brick Breaker. As with any game type, adding a new game to the fray demands enough creativity to set the game apart from the rest of the pack. How does TikGames’ Ricochet HD on the PSN do in a very specific genre?"

It's funny, but this really does satisfy that breakout urge. Again, it needs some polish, but it's not bad. Trophy hounds will be fun to watch when they play this.

There's never been a better time to join PS Plus

A clumped mass of games is hitting PSN next month, and a lot of it is free to PS Plus subscribers. Including Awesomenauts, the multiplayer battle arena style game from the creators of another former freebie a la PS Plus called Swords & Soldiers.

The list of free games goes on and on, most likely totaling somewhere in the range of $100 worth. For PS3 gamers that have not yet signed up for a Plus subscription may want to consider next month as the best time to do so.

Remember though, nearly all PS Plus freebie are only free for a one week period, thereafter going for the full price, so you want to be punctual.

Trine 2 and Rock of Ages is pretty great.

I thought I was the only noticing the sudden wave of good PS+ deals. So many things I've wanted to get in the PS store are PS+ only. I'll never be a member though. I refuse to pay for online.

PirateThom4385d ago

It's not paying for online, it's paying for game content up front.

Outside_ofthe_Box4385d ago

^^^ Not necessarily as not everything is free. But whatever you want to call it I refuse to pay. I'm glad that I have the option to choose.

Bathyj4386d ago

I think I'll have to get Max Payne.
I just wish it was a HD remake.

dboyman4386d ago

Looks promising though Sony needs more PSN Plus "goodies" for PS Vita...

catfrog4385d ago

they also need to bring cloud saving for ps+ to vita

Ducky4386d ago

I'd say this month's free Shift2 and Shank2 were a better time to join.

Hicken4385d ago

Shank 2 is a yes. Shift 2? I could do without that game ever touching my PS3 again.

goflyakite4385d ago

I think they're still there so if you sign up before next Tuesday you'll have everything.

KosmoCrisis4385d ago

Both Shift 2 and Shank 2 are previously released titles. May's freebies are comprised of several NEW releases. Tallying the monetary value in the two months so far shows May as the better month, but as @goflyakite said, newbies could get everything if they get on now.

Der_Kommandant4386d ago

If Max Payne doesn't convince you to go plus, maybe nothing will.

badz1494385d ago

If later on there will be GTA 3 or Vice City or San Andreas HD free for PS+ user? GTA V is on the way, there is every possibilities that it can happen! If it does happen, MEGATON and if it still can't convince people to go Plus, only then I think nothing else will!

"This genre is so crowded on the PlayStation Network it’s almost overwhelming. With standouts like Shatter, can Ricochet HD bust bricks with the best of them?"
