Thanks for reading! I'm very pleased with the way this interview turned out. Ales is an interesting person and appears to truly appreciate Bloodborne – both the game and the universe. Looks like the comic series is in good hands.

Totally.

I actually dig Croc 2's cover. Don't mind NBA Showtime, either. The rest though? Mostly yuck. I ended up voting for Jinx. That cover really bothers me for some reason.

Lovely.

Voted for Horizon: Zero Dawn.

@get2sammyb I have zero idea what to expect from it at this point. I think I'd prefer run-'n'-gun the most, honestly, but I don't anticipate it being that straightforward. I'd guess it'll be a combination of the horror pacing/aspects of Doom III mixed with the narrative focus of Wolfenstein. But who knows!

What does everyone else want from new DOOM?

That brief look did enough to get the hype circulating through my veins.

Pure Xbox gave it a 9/10 as well. That's how you KNOW it's good.

Frima, huh? Can't say I expected them to be working on this.

Oh man — I didn't realize I have THAT many bosses left. I just beat the Witches of Hemwick last night.

Alex and I are having the same kind of weekend.

Sold.

This can't reach PSN soon enough.

@Dodoo You're welcome! Let me know how you end up liking it.

@Dodoo Yeah. I mean, I don't know what you've heard, but it's no easy game. Most of the challenge comes in the form of solving puzzles without any direction. You have to figure out where the puzzles are in each room, and also what it is you need to do to solve them. It's a whole heck of a lot of exploration and toying around. It's amazing, though. And from what it sounds like, this version will be much more inviting than the previous ones.

This game is pure magic. I'll be downloading it the moment it hits PSN.

Heck yeah. I'm going to download this as soon as I get my PS4 set up in my office. I'm scared to have access to Resogun and Stardust just a couple feet from where I work, though. These games totally suck me in and cause me to lose track of the hours. They're good at that. Too good.

Rental it is. Thanks for the informative review, @get2sammyb.

I'm always tempted to buy The Show each year, but when I do, I don't play it very much beyond a couple weeks. This looks really, really slick, though, so I'm not sure I'll be able to resist. Especially not with a Dodger on the cover.

Perfect, PERFECT timing for me. I anticipate playing this into the ground until The Order and Kirby release the following week. Heck, I'm sure I'll be gunning down meteors and other space rocks for months to come. 😊

Pretty spot-on review. I've been playing the 3DS version. I like it, but there are consistently little things that keep me from liking it too much. Some of the environments are way too confusing to navigate, and I personally find the battle system a little meh. But, by and large, the pros have been outweighing the cons, keeping me pushing through the underwhelming and occasionally frustrating moments.

YES!! I'm planning to buy a PS4 in the next couple weeks so this is GREAT news.

PSone!

I'll be buying Geometry Wars, Sammy, but I'm afraid we'll be playing on different platforms.

My favorite thing about this game? This: Aqua Kitty - Level Select Music

I'm in.

I like the look of this. Hopefully we'll get an NA release date soon.

The tagline grabbed my attention!

What a difference that lighting makes.

@Gemuarto I've perfected 45 of the 50 stages now and haven't really had any issues with the controls. Could they be a bit much to digest for someone not familiar with the series? Absolutely. But I don't think there's anything I would change or tweak. (of course I'm not arguing that you didn't find the controls frustrating; I'm just admitting that my experience was almost identical to Mat's) If you want a simple two-button shmup, those exist. If you want something with more complexities, something more dynamic that provides the player with much room to perfect and customize their approach based on each challenge presented, well, there's Velocity 2X. Different strokes for different folks.

Sweetness! My wife really took to the last EDF when I reviewed it for pX, so she'll no doubt be excited about this. So much mindless fun in co-op.

Man, this is a pretty great lineup in my eyes. Hoard and Sportsfriends are the only games that I'll likely pass on.

Hohokum, Gravity Crash Ultra, and Phantom Breaker for me!

I'm SO hyped for this! Hopefully it performs well on the Vita, because that's where I'll be playing it.

It's so weird that you're posting this, @get2sammyb. Two days ago, as I was browsing PSN on Vita, I realized that I never did get around to playing The Unfinished Swan and then wondered why Sony didn't bring it over to Vita. Since my PS3 is kind of pushed aside right now, a portable release would definitely be the reason I'd give this a download. Seriously hoping this happens!

@LDXD I'm with ya there! That's the one thing I wish they'd do away with in the 2D Mario series. I want the platforming and the exploration to be the challenge, not time restrictions.

@LDXD There's no time limit in story mode. The only clock I recall seeing was during multiplayer battles.

@get2sammyb Surprisingly, outside of one stage (10-4 I think it was), I didn't really get all that worked up. Going in I expected to despise the tricks & traps and want to throw in the towel quickly, but it never happened. I'm rather shocked, actually.

Are you going to give this one a shot, Sammy? Or is it not your cup of tea?

This game is such a treat for those of us fond of the NES era. I played the Xbox One version like a madman this weekend and now I'm considering double-dipping and getting a copy for 3DS or Vita, as well.

Solid review!

Nice one, @ShogunRok. I'd say the review mostly matches my feelings. During the first few hours I was worried that everything was a bit too generic, but once the story picked up and all of the open-world activities became apparent, I started having a great time. Now if only I could pull myself away from Mario Kart 8 long enough to get back to it...

Wow. This is gorgeous. It's not the type of racer that I'm usually into, but with visuals that slick I'd definitely take it for a spin.

@get2sammyb - I'm with ya, Sammy. Hope it's as good as it looks!

This week of news, releases and announcements has me extremely excited for the future of PlayStation and the PS4. Great coverage, guys!

NO ONE could kill the legendary John Marsto...oh wait.

As long as it works and quality software is there to support it, I'm completely interested.

Solid game, overall, and a worthy return for Strider. I'm really enjoying it.

Great review, @ShogunRok!

Gave this one a download with the intention of sneaking in about 30 minutes of play.... that was 2 hours ago. Great fun so far!

This is a good idea, and at an extremely reasonable price. I'm definitely going to look into it!

@ShogunRok Awesome read, man! Going to pick this one up soon enough.

@Lelouch There's a Regular Show game for 3DS (which I just reviewed for Nintendo Life) and it's not all that great either.

Greg, I didn't read any of your review because I have to review this one for pX, but that score has me a bit terrified!!
