Ah - that would annoy me. II guess you only see one side of the game on one play through. But yes, that ending was fantastic... Iconic even. Click.

I don't know why exactly, but this was probably my favourite episode so far. Maybe because it felt like the choices I made carried more weight. Maybe because Bigby was pissed off and being a total baddass.

I'm personally hoping for some news on Gravity Rush 2. That would make me very happy.

@SimonAdebisi NBA Jam was my last basketball game too! Except mine was on the Game Gear. If a basketball game doesn't allow you to set the ball on fire by sinking three shots in a row, then it's just not basketball to me

@ztpayne7 I think they will do exactly that. They'll probably announce it at E3. Not long to wait now...

I've got to stop reading these comment boards as I'm starting to lose faith in humanity.

For me, this would be a great choice. Shooter is in several sites Best PS3 Games ever lists but one I never got round to picking up. So if all is as it appears then we should be getting the definitive version of one of the most critically acclaimed games of the last gen - one which apparently many people overlooked. Personally I'd rather this game than Knack any day of the week.

I'll say this one more time then shut up - a lot of the best games of the last gen were indies! Fez, Limbo, Braid, Castle Crashers, the Telltale adventures, even freaking Minecraft for God's sake. Not only that, but AAA gaming has gotten to the point where a game like Tomb Raider can sell 6 million copies (1 million of those in 48 hours) and STILL be considered a financial disappointment! The industry can't support itself like that any longer! That's why the Indie movement has been the breakout success of the last gen and why it's on the grow.

If you want to play your big budget games on PS4, cool. They're all there. But don't kid yourself, you're going to be paying a heavy premium for that for a long while to come. Because apart from the lite version of DriveClub and apparently one evergreen release to be announced soon, it's going to be an indie showcase on the PS4 plus side of things.

And you shouldn't be so surprised about it - when they announced the PS4 it was one of the main selling points. I mean were you guys not there? They had a power point demonstration and everything.

Follow the buzzards... In 1080p.

As an aside, I really hope Fall of Cybertron finds it's way onto PS Plus.

@Volmun Sorry, I read so many comments in my day job from people who can't be bothered to spell correctly I forget there are people who have legit reasons they don't pick up on typos. Please accept my apologies.

@Volmun not to raise a stink but maybe run a spellcheck through your own comments as well.

So if we have the version from Plus will we miss out on much by not investing into this version?

@BlackVault you're an idiot.

I TOLD everyone this was a do-nothing, middle of the road game even when it first came out, and was roundly booed in various forums. It was just part of the Cel Shaded fad that hit in the mid 2000s and while some games pulled off the cartoon aesthetic (Wind Waker), a lot were just plain ugly. They even made a whole Spider-man series on MTV in the cel shaded style and it was bloody awful!

If you were going to go for one game on PlayStation to represent the cel shaded fad, you'd be mad not to pick up Jet Set Radio HD instead... or an old copy of Wacky Racers. I'd leave this one well alone.

@Sanquine Just a bit weird you should comment on a game rating being too high when you haven't even played it yet. I can assure you that while the engine hasn't changed it's far from the "train wreck" that you suggest it is. And as @NicolaHayden says - the story really gets going in this episode.

@get2sammyb I guess it's one of the challenges of reviewing episodic games as they're released. Some things can be taken as unique to each episode, and others can be rubber stamped on each episode. Personally speaking, next time I'll be waiting for all episodes to be released and then picking them up together - for no other reason than it will help me retain continuity with my decisions in the previous episodes.

I do hope the engine is being revamped, I really do. The problem is that Telltale seem to be trying to put out as much content as possible in a relatively short time frame. Can't blame them really - it's a precarious job that can see studios close in a blink of an eye. It makes me wonder how many resources they have left to put towards building a new engine though.

This time out, playing on an Xbox, I didn't have any real issues with the engine or encounter any glitches. There was a weird occurence with the last episode of the Wolf Among Us though which involved Bigby fighting an invisible Tweedle Dee. That really took the wind out of the series most dramatic moment.

@sanquine - why would they factor in the vita port of Season 1 when reviewing of a season 2 episode? It's not even out for vita yet. Have you even played this episode?

I wonder if it's still worth pointing out the engine's issues - it's obvious it's not going to change for the duration of the season.

I'm in two minds about this episode. In terms of storytelling and drama, it was excellent. But looking back, I struggle to think of when it actually felt like I was playing a game, rather than making a series of choices. To put it another way, it felt a long ways from Monkey Island and closer to Phoenix Wright. But with an occasional QTE.

There is a great Spider-Man game waiting to be made. But Beenox probably aren't the guys who'll make it.

That does look lovely. Despite all the controversy I'm still looking forward to finally getting it on my screen.

For me, it all depends on how they offer it. If it's similar to Netflix - unlimited access at a small monthly price, I'll be all over it. Especially if there's a concession to existing Plus subscribers.

Ah the comments section of a Sportfriends review. Always sure to bring out the biggest cretins the world has ever seen.

IT AINT GOT NO GRAFFICS INNIT!

This year's E3 prersentation will be a three hour long reveal of The Last Guardian - delving into how they gave the Puppy-Griffin a working digestive system and how all of the PS4's processing power is put to use to construct the size and consistency of its poop. As no two poops will ever be the same, it is expected that it will create a massive following via the PS4's Share button, where players upload their best poops. Players can tread the poop into the houses of NPCs, causing them much distress. Players can fling poop at royalty and spark off riots. Players can roll around in the poop and try to hug people, who will run away.

Yep - write that down. My prediction.

Neat. I got the first GOW as a PS Plus freebie, so I wonder if that will count?

Not sure about the game, but any reference to Modest Mouse is always a good thing

Ouch. One thing's for sure, there's no middle ground when it comes to reviews for this game. Personally, I'm giving it a wide berth.

@Grockumus haha! Umbasa!

@seeafish ha, well that and I wanted pure black tendency. :-/

@seeafish yeah I'd like to see that too. Except Demon's souls kind of wrapped itself up quite neatly.

And also... I kind of killed everyone off with exception of stockpile Thomas. Even took a swing at the monumental. Any returning characters would break my own continuity!

@DaftPlayStation FROM have been doing spiritual successors to the same formula for generations, so if you don't like either of their past series you're going to be disappointed sunshine.

@TOMBOY25 no dear, DARK souls! Demon souls was on plus. And as I said, I own that one. I've been a plus subscriber since Sam and Max.

Haven't played a FROM game since Demon Souls, which is possibly one of my top 5 games of the last gen. I'm still hoping Dark Souls will turn up on Plus soon.

I had one of the GBA games at one point too. It was a fair approximation of the card game... The thing is, so long as you had a frankenstein card and a three headed Blue eyes dragon, you couldn't lose. You'd sacrifice the frankenstein, summon the blue eyes ridiculously early on in a game, and it was over before it started. I'm guessing this got nerfed in the series at some point...

I've had Ground Zeroes since launch but have to say I've not spent a lot of time with it, which is weird as someone who usually loves the MGS series. Maybe I'm finding it hard to get to grips with the new mechanics, or maybe it's the OCD in me telling me I've not played Peace Walker all the way through yet and should do that before committing a Time Paradox...

If I enjoy the plus version, I reckon I could be tempted to upgrade if the price is right. I'm thinking £20 would be about right.

If I had just won the lottery... No.

I got the Vita version of Limbo free as the PS3 version was given away on plus a long time ago in the EU. Did the US not get that too?

@ZeD haha, I never thought of my PSP 1000 as retro, but that's cos I'm turning into an old geezer who still has a Donkey Kong Game and Watch knocking around the attic somewhere.

Plenty to like about this one. I can't get enough of the puzzle platform genre when they're well done, so I'm looking forward to this. And they say the Vita doesn't have any games.

The day Uncharted 4 gets officially announced I'm going to start replaying all of Naughty Dogs back catalogue. From Crash 1 all the way to TLOU. Not necessarily to completion but as much of each game as I can stand before moving on. Figure it might make for a good video blog.

I'll wait until the discount hits. At first I thought this looked great, but seeing the mixed reception after the PC release has tempered my excitement somewhat.

Ah... I'll buy it at a... Actually, never mind.

@Fire-and-Water heh. Nailed it on the head. When all was said and done and after we all "pressed X to Beck" it just wasn't as good a game as Heavy Rain. It was a game that sold itself on replayability, but I was very happy to leave after one play. Worth a punt. But only the once. No double dip.

It actually looks pretty good. If I were a younger player I'd go for it. But instead I have a mortgage and worries.

Agreed. Massive spoiler. It's weird - taken out of context you'd never think it would be. But when you get to that moment in the game... Even if you had any clue that it was coming it would just decimate the impact of the scene.

In all honesty I can't justify double dipping at full price. Even though it's probably my favourite game of all time. I'll give it a few years, I think. It's not going anywhere.

@get2sammyb haha! Poor bloke. Every line on that face tells a tragic tale.

Sounds a wee bit too hardcore for me.

I'm happy with the line up, but I'm really counting down the days until our first proper look at Uncharted 4.

Bully! But not on PS Plus? Aboo!

@Reverandjames Dude, we already had Arkham City. Ages ago.

@Reverandjames ah sorry - been much discussion on this topic and I must have mixed you up with someone else. This month isn't the strongest there's been, (I picked up Hotline Miami in the sales too - after this and Tomb Raider I've learned my lesson to not buy stuff in sales any more), but they have to get a decent mix of genres in the selection. You and me might not be into football and motorsports, but other folks are. It's a service for everyone, and as such you can't win them all. One thing I have noticed is that they're trying to keep their choices above the 70 metascore mark. Which is a good way to go.

I guess it all depends on whether you can bear to let go of all the other games you've picked up via Plus while you've been a member. I've actually sold boxed copies of games I owned when they became available on PS Plus, so I'm in it for the long run

I wasn't a big fan of the online aspect myself. It quickly found it's way onto eBay after I'd got the platinum.

@Squiggle55 good point.
