IGN: Stacking Review

IGN writes: "As someone who is tired of the fact that every other game in development seems to be a shooter, Stacking is a breath of fresh air. An adventure puzzler (which means you go on an adventure and solve puzzles along the way) unlike any other game on the market, this game is oozing with charm. The crevices of developer Tim Schafer's mind must be an interesting place to be, as it has formed some of the most unique gaming experiences available including Psychonauts, Brutal Legend, and now, Stacking".

Cant wait to get it. PS Plus users do for FREE!

Forbidden_Darkness4828d ago

Hell yeah! And people keep complaining it's not a great service for the money you spend on it.

Pixelated_Army4828d ago

Will check it out tonight. Oh and IGN, burn in Hell.

sayonara894828d ago

Yeah, sweet bonus for PS+ users!

XRider4828d ago

Like I said in the other review how does paying for PSN+ = free? If you're paying it's not free. Xbox Live has free games but since I'm paying for Live that realy isn't free is it?

Kon4828d ago

Yeah, it is all relative. You get the game for free but you have to pay for the service. It isn't free at the end.

ChristianGamer4828d ago (Edited 4828d ago )

Silver Live is free and you still get free games so yeah
What is there to disagree with? I downloaded Harm's Way and Crash Course both for free and I've never paid a single cent for Gold, always been Silver

NecrumSlavery4828d ago

you are not paying for the game.

mintaro4828d ago

^^
But once you stop the service the "free" game is gone.

Blaster_Master4828d ago

Its free to me cause I already got like $100 bucks worth of stuff, got into the DCU beta, all for $15 bucks. Its a deal to be reckoned with.

KotC4828d ago

PSN plus users should just say they are getting this game at a discount not free. What happens if you stop paying for PSN plus?

Joni-Ice4828d ago

I just joined for this game. Question do you keep your trophies if you let Plus expire?

KotC4828d ago

What happens to the game when you stop paying for Plus?

NiKK_4194828d ago (Edited 4828d ago )

yes, yu keep the trophies, but if yu stop paying, yu lose the free games, yu keep the games yu buy at discount though, and themes, avatars, and i believe yu can keep ps1 games and minis yu get for free, but i have to check, but in the end it's still worth it to keep ps+

ElementX4828d ago

If you want to support the developer, purchase your copy. They made a deal with Sony, obviously, but I think they're getting the short end of the stick. If tons of people rely on their free copy, that's money out of the developer's pocket. I'm not sure how Sony works with their Plus subscription and developers, but I believe the developers make significantly less on Plus downloads than actual purchases. Getting a free game or developers making money? I choose developers making money.

NiKK_4194828d ago

yea, but im sure that sony is paying for our copies of the game, maybe not exactly full price, but either way the developers are still getting paid dont worry

Rob9464828d ago

If i stop paying i know i cant play it anymore.But the thing is lets say i get 200euro worth of content for 50 euro then my sub runs up i can just buy anew sub get everything back and get 12months more content.So id be paying a extra 50euro every year to keep what i have and get a extra 200 or so euro worth of content every year.Even if its not free its not like its abad deal im getting way more then i pay and to me once i go over the 50euro mark the stuff is free till i subscribe again

Not huge games or recent games, but free is free, claimed! Thanks.

darthv721132d ago

Stacking was part of GwG last month (if I recall) and it is surprisingly fun.

Orchard1132d ago

Then I may have just hit 'install' instead of 'buy' due to my lack of Japanese knowledge :P

Father__Merrin1132d ago

I already had stacking but redeemed the rest cheers 🥂 de blob and ikaruga was in my wish list

Brutal Backlog - Stacking

Stacking was released in 2011 by Double Fine and remains one of their oddest and most intriguing titles. It's a puzzle game masking a serious message, but is it worth picking up today? Jump Dash Roll plays with some dolls before giving its opinion in this week's Brutal Backlog review.

Three more fresh faces arrive for Xbox backwards compatibility – Are they worth the return?

Carlos writes "March may not have provided equal delights when compared to that of February’s backward compatible arrivals, especially with great games such as GTA IV, Borderlands 2 and Hitman: Absolution arriving amongst the masses on Xbox One last month, but that doesn’t mean we’re any less content when new additions come to the program.

Today sees a fresh batch of titles join the fray, but with so many to choose from now, are they worth going back to or should they be left on the shelf forever more?"

Stacking was a lovely little game

Cobra9512594d ago

Yes, but it's not there yet for me. Bummer. Was looking forward to reliving that one today.

Pancit_Canton2594d ago

Yes. If you got nothing else to play.

Fist4achin2594d ago

Yawn. I don't get it. Xbox doesn't seem to want to open the purse strings to bring in new IPs and with the selection of bc games, you can't tell me developers wouldn't want to get more.money on old IPs. I'm sorry to say, but Xbox feels like they care less and less for the gamer's...
