Dang, I hope I win that vacation... or at least cash it in and buy some more video games. :) PICK ME MS!

mcroddi4861d ago

Who doesnt, I would take the MSPs too!

RonyDean4861d ago

That would be amazing to win! - Has anyone tried the game? Is it worth 400 MSP?

... first release was generally received quite negatively, and the developers went back to work on it, kinda did a big patch/re-release, and people now seem to think it's certainly better than it was, although I haven't heard anyone say yet that it's a must-have or anything.

Personally, I'm just gonna try the demo this week, and if I happen to like it, I'll purchase it. However, I only have 2400 points left and I kinda need to save them for Beyond Good and Evil HD and possibly Stacked.

I tried the demo, wasn't too enthralled over it.

Archonyto4861d ago

Hell of an incentive, funny that it is a water themed vacation.

Yi-Long4861d ago

... it's probably just a trip to New Orleans... ;)

Buy a shitty game and get a chance to win a vacation? Not worth it.

What a surprise, I was just searching for this game. I'm honestly quite surprised by the water physics and definitely looking forward to trying it soon.

I Play Bad Games (On Purpose)

Escapist: Hey, I knew what I was doing. I can't claim ignorance, and I'll never claim innocence. Someone offered me a preview copy of Ninja Gaiden 3, so I took it, fully aware that it sucked. I played the demo at E3. I spoke to people whose opinions I trusted. I listened to my razor-sharp instincts and my not-so-sharp gut. Lo and behold, every single warning sign turned out to be dead on. Ninja Gaiden 3 is a travesty.

But I don't regret playing it for a moment, because I occasionally play bad videogames. On purpose. And so should you.

I can almost always find a reason to play any game. Too many people today just want to say negative things about games, but there is almost always something worthwhile in any game to me.

PoSTedUP4302d ago

i look at gameplay videos on youtube and decide from there, no more reviews for me. if i see a game i like, i usually end up enjoying it and don't notice ANY of the the horrible Flaws that a review would point out simply because they are not brought to my attention. so i can't say "oh that guy was right it does seem kinda ______... and it is a little _______..." nope. 100% fun in almost all games for me.

Warhammer 40k would be labelled as a crappy type game, i labelled it that ages ago when i saw afew screenshots for it and a trailer "looks like rubbish"

And it is, but i cant stop playing it, the voice acting is awesome http://www.youtube.com/watc... thats enough to warrant a playthrough on normal

Its pretty straight forward, run and shoot, hack/slash, its got a cool story/characters, big online community (never have any problems getting into some co-op)

If it wasnt released on PS+ i doubt i would of played it, im REALLY grateful i didnt miss it, because i would of done otherwise

I recommend it, if your looking for a pretty basic game with nothing to think about, just fun
