this game lets me play my music without taking out the background game noise. Very cool

and about time

anyway

Pain looks fun and HVB is fun for what it is. A 10$ game that is not meant to be epic like Warhawk or COD4. Just a fun little game

IM really looking 4ward to Echo Chrome

IMO HVB is a very good party game

LinuxGuru5997d ago

Are you talking about HVB when this is about pain?

o_O

crunchie1015995d ago (Edited 5995d ago )

What on earth is HVB?

Edit: nevermind, it's High Velocity Bowling, isn't it?

PimpHandHappy5997d ago

and i went with HVB

I heard Pain is fun from the ppl i have seen playing it and i know HVB is fun

PAIN Going Free-To-Play On PlayStation 3

Sony and Argentina-based developer QB9 are “reinventing” Pain, first launched on PlayStation 3 via PlayStation Network in 2007, as a free-to-play title, Sony announced at its Brazil Game Show today.

sinncross3852d ago

hmm cool I guess. never played it before so guess i cna try this version out.

Surprised there is no PS4 and/ or PSV version while they were at it.

But cool, will check it out since its free.

PoSTedUP3852d ago

its tons of fun. ive spent hours upon hours on this game back in the day.

Monkeycan83852d ago

Haha it's a blast. It was my first downloaded game ever.

Its theme is good too :P

P.A.I.N, P.A.I.N. PAIN!

FunAndGun3852d ago

Super OOCH!...ooch, ooch, ooch...

WeAreLegion3852d ago

Haha. I highly recommend it to anyone who has never played. So much fun.

5eriously3852d ago

I need some PAIN! Help.

No reason not to give it a try! I am sure my kids will enjoy it immensely!

GenericNameHere3852d ago

It was fun... But then I was bomblasted by billions of updates that took freaking weeks to download. I gave up then.

Afreelunch3852d ago

Yeah they released sooo many updates, and so many levels and modes that were locked behind paywalls, it took up waay too much hard drive space for what it was, and felt like I payed for a free-to-play game anyway. It was fun, but not fun enough for me to keep paying/downloading.

-EvoAnubis-3852d ago

PAIN should have ALWAYS been free-to-play.

Idol Minds, Please Make PAIN 2

If you’ve never heard or played PAIN, the game essentially gives you a giant slingshot and a character to fling around a giant map filled with random objects to cause pain to your character.

ThatKanadianKid3930d ago

Soooo many memories with this game, please do make a sequel I'll buy it day zero.

Prcko3930d ago

pain was so fun and addictive game
i want new one too!

Godmars2903930d ago

Sadly, isn't the only thing left of that studio is some of the senior staff and it's CEO?

Has been a while since I played it. Just haven't felt like - thought of - reinstalling it since replacing my PS3 from YLoD.

doctorstrange3929d ago

Yup, massively downsized and making iOS titles :(

Kiddcarter3930d ago

i liked pain on ps3 and would like a 2nd one, but i really want a pain game (even a port of the first) for ps vita

iceman063929d ago

This would be a great game on the Vita. It's one of those games that you could play in little portions or spend hours just doing mindless, crazy stuff. I wouldn't even mind an expanded port. (just give the DLC stuff)

BoNeSaW233929d ago

Idol Minds is closed. Do not hold your breath for them to develop another PAIN game. Maybe another studio though.

Oh yeah!

Also Rag Doll Kung-fu is an excellent game. Not that long ago when I fired it up.

DeforMAKulizer4006d ago

My friends and I still have countless amounts of fun with Rag Doll. And the video recording, permanently stored some awesome moves and weird glitches on the HDD =D

trenso14006d ago

yea that game was so much fun to play, it was even free a couple of years ago during a promotion.

Panthers4006d ago

Since, from what I understand, PS4 will be a lot easier to program for, I am hoping we can see a lot more games that dont have a huge budget, but great ideas, come to light. Some of the best PS3 games were smaller titles that just exploded onto the scene. Valkyria Chronicles, LittleBigPlanet, DemonSouls, Folklore, ect.

Im glad Sony has such a big focus on indie games with the PS4

Perjoss4006d ago

There's a reason why we forget certain games exist, apart from Folklore, that was a very interesting game.

matrixman924006d ago

dead space ignition was terrible

Cam9774006d ago

I always say this, despite being a decent game, The Saboteur didn't receive the attention it deserved.
