There's a dearth of snow sports games on the PlayStation 3, specifically skiing games. In fact, Go! Sports Ski, a small downloadable game available for the PlayStation 3 from Sony's PlayStation Network, is the only game in town at this point. Regardless, this so-called "skiing simulator" that's meant to show off the Sixaxis motion controls doesn't do enough--neither in quality nor in quantity--to fill that winter-sports void in a satisfactory manner.
One of the first reviews for the latest PSN downloadable title is out. See if the game is worthy of the original content that the Sony Playstation Store is becoming known for.
I've seen a number of vids of the gameplay and for $5, it's really no gamble. I liked what I saw and I'll definitly get it.
Hell, I keep losing $5 in change from my pockets week damned day so I might as well do something usefull with my $5 that I do manage to not lose :P
Take skydiving... then add swords... yes I can see it now.
High speed fly bys slashing with katanas attempting to sever ... well whatever.
The winner is the one who can walk away in the end by any means necessary.
I must be having a bad day lol.
Thankfully. Go! Sports Skydiving is a purchase that yields in low risk, high reward. If you buy it and like it, you're extremely happy with your purchase. If you dont like it, it's not like it breaks your wallet as the price is an affordable 5.00.
This is one of the many reasons why Dark Sniper prefers Playstation® Network over the massively inferior XBOX Live. On PSN, you are able to pay for you downloadable titles with a straightfoward currency system. Xbox live extorts money out of your wallet by forcing you to buy Microsoft points. More often than not, you will end up purchasing more points than you need for one game.
If it's one thing Microsoft are experts at, it's at being an elite extortionists.
$niper
Sony Computer Entertainment Asia is bringing in the year of the Rat with a sale on a bunch of downloadable PlayStation Network games. From now until February 14, the games listed at Siliconera will only cost HK$39 (US$5). (You can get those deals if you bother to set up a Hong Kong PSN account and add money to it.)
i pretty much have all the psn games i want, but i'll double check to see if i want any of the others, for $5 it's a steal
EDIT: nvm... just realized i have all those games listed :(
PS3 Fanboy writes: "Go! Sports Ski is the latest title from Sony in their casual Go! series of downloadable games on the PlayStation Store, following the Go! Puzzle pack released earlier this year. Dubbed a 'ski simulator' by Sony, Go! Sports Ski offers the usual bundle of features for most of Sony's PSN offerings -- including 1080p support, online leaderboards, and a cheap price (a mere $2.99)".
is it good? i was thinking of getting it but idk if its good and it is cheap i might as well get it.
thx man gotta get it
If this came out for Wii, some people would probably blame Nintendo for being incompetent and letting a mediocre game through the filters and that the gaming world is doomed and it's all Nintendo's fault blah blah blah.
I'm not one of those people, so I'll just say that I don't care how bad this game is. At all. It doesn't affect my opinion on the PS3 or on Sony as a company in the slightest, and I am tremendously looking forward to some other PlayStation software in the future.
If anyone really feels strongly to the contrary... I'm not even going to bother insulting you. You're not worth it.
