Headline: Woman seeking attention. Unheard of.

Wow. 657 posts. Relax people. Sometimes the power goes out. It's inconvenient but eventually it comes back on. It's not the end of the world. Maybe try doing something else for the afternoon/evening? Jeez.

My girlfriend and I have put countless hours into the PS3 version, so I see no reason to get this one. None of the new features here overly excite me and, honestly, this package seems grossly overpriced. One new act and one new character class who we'd never play as? We'll pass.

Still, that doesn't change the fact that Diablo III is an outstanding game.

My girlfriend and I are perfectly happy with the PS3 version of Diablo 3 that we bought last summer, so no need for the Ultimate Evil Edition.

Personally Tales of Xillia 2 is the only game on this list that I plan to pick up.

Got to be honest - I'm not sold here. Tearaway is one of the most charming games that I've ever played and it was perfect on the Vita. As great as the Dualshock 4 is I don't see how this game will actually play better than the original.

It'll be great if more gamers get exposed to Tearaway because of this, but I'd still suggest checking out the original.

Having fun with two of my favourite standbys this weekend: Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010 game) and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.

I was torn between The Order and Until Dawn. However, I've been looking forward to The Order ever since it's reveal, while Until Dawn was not on my radar before Gamescom. It's firmly on my radar now, therefore, Until Dawn got my vote.

Hell of a list though!!

I do have my eye on this thing. I look forward to playing it and then seeing if my girlfriend gets a completely different outcome when she plays it.

Love it. Absolutely love it.

I doubt this will ever happen or if anybody other than me would actually be interested, but a remaster of the original Infamous would be cool. That's a game that I do return to every so often just to run around in, but man does that game look like garbage. Gameplay is obviously more important, but PS3 launch titles looked better than that thing...

I think this looks really interesting!! I'll definitely keep my eye on this.

Wow that man spun his wheels a lot.

But yet let's not have the next Tomb Raider come to the console or anything. Genius move...

And I bet people will love this game just because it's not a reboot of Devil May Cry.

Seriously haters, you're missing out on a great game if you're so ignorant to dismiss DmC just because Dante looks different. The gameplay is fantastic and unlike the other four Devil May Cry games Ninja Theory didn't feel the need to have mindless puzzles every 5 minutes which slowed things down to a halt. The combat and platforming are both great. Get off your damn high horse and go play an amazing game.

End rant.

Hell of a job, Sammy. You make some great points and I have little doubt that you're right.

Well I didn't see this coming... what a shame.

Another series that started on the PlayStation brand jumps ship. First Metal Gear Solid starts appearing on Xboxes, and now Sony is outright losing the next Tomb Raider. Sony better get their ducks in a row and do something about this.

I get that this is just one game, but an exclusive is still an exclusive.

I really am not a fan of The Walking Dead... but this is pretty cool.

@Splat

Spot on!

But seriously, if they've never made a good RE movie (CG or live action) then why do they think they can make a good TV show? Just a bad idea all around.

@get2sammyb

I also vote weekly. I love seeing what the editors and the community are into.

Decided to get back into the first Infamous last night. Having a blast running around the city collecting more blast shards and the few remaining dead drops.

@Shaolin

Well said.

Hey man,

I think "problem" might be too strong a word. Trust me, I do not think that it's any less of an excellent game simply because it's also available on Microsoft platforms. But I think that anytime a console has a triple-A exclusive to its name it's a big deal for that console. As somebody who chooses to support Sony I think it's too bad that the series is no longer exclusive to them, considering that the MGS series got its start on the original PlayStation. It'd be like if the next God of War came out on both the PS4 and X1 – I would be sad that Sony lost the exclusivity to that series as well. Or if Mario games started coming out on everything. Does this answer your question??

Anyways, I hope my original comment didn't get blown out of portion. I'm not anti-Xbox or anything (I even own a 360), I just happen to prefer to play my third-party games on PlayStations. We just like what we like, but a great game is a great game regardless of the system we choose to play it on.

It's so sad that this series is no longer exclusive to Sony. If there's ever been a series that I associate with the PlayStation brand it's this one. I'll never forget the impact that Metal Gear Solid had on the industry back when I was a kid.

@get2sammyb

Hey now, I'm sure the history of stamp collecting is really interesting!!!

Comparing the comments here vs. the comments at Nintendo Life is pretty hilarious. It's almost like Capcom wants to make money by releasing this game on consoles that people actually own. The PS4 surpassed the Wii U in total sales within a few months, plus there's the small fact that over 80 million PS3s are out there. Funny how that math works out.

I often find myself standing alone on this one, but DmC is a fantastic game and I wish more people would give it a try. The combat is simply outstanding.

Nice, and I was not one of those 4.6 million. Just not my type of game I guess.

Great read, Sammy. I'm in the same boat as you in that I too have less and less of an opportunity to enjoy games these days. I am a teacher and am currently doing my Masters part time, so when I do have time to sit down with a game I want to be sure that it's something that's worth my time and that I am going to enjoy my time with it.

Replaying Tales of Xillia. Gotta bone up for that sequel!!

I will get a PS4 once this game comes out

I think they should leave this masterpiece alone after Remastered is released.

Do I think they're actually going to do that? No, honestly I don't. Games are just like movies and books in this regard; whenever a great one comes along it's milked and milked with countless sequels. Rarely is greatness ever left alone. Pirates of the Caribbean, The Matrix, Jurassic Park (the book) - just three examples that quickly come to mind of great first efforts that should have been left at that.

Tempting... tempting...

Absolutely loved the original. Can't wait for this one!!

Really looking forward to seeing what this game looks like in action.

Also hoping for a story mode like the 2011 MK game.

Cool. Can't wait to see what this will look like in-game.

I have to wonder why they'd change the MK logo after all these years. It's such an iconic image in the video game industry... still, a minor point if the game is good though.

Nice! I was a big fan of the reboot from a few years ago. Can't wait to see what the series will look like on PS4!!

Nobody seems to have pointed out that calling these games "HD" when they're on the Vita is kind of misleading. As beautiful as that OLED screen is, I'm sorry, it's not HD. This, Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster, Cel Damage HD, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, etc. Just stop calling them something that they're not.

I've got no issue with this collection being brought to the Vita, but don't put 'HD' in the title. Call it Ratchet & Clank Collection or Trilogy or Remaster or something that's actually accurate.

Well considering that pretty much half the games on the market these days are pretty shooters I think I'll take this one. The setting alone makes it more interesting for me than any Call of Duty.

I would hardly call that a gameplay trailer, but it goes without saying that the in-game stuff will look amazing as well.

This is by far my favourite Harley look ever!

Until the PS4's gaming library is substantial flushed out with great games I am more than happy to stick with my PS3. I still play my PS3 more than anything else in the house, plus I have Tales of Xillia 2 to look forward to at the end of the summer.

I have to respectfully disagree with the Metal Gear Solid 4 example. That to me was the worst QTE that I have ever encountered. I don't care what else is going on presentation-wise, having to hit the same button over and over again for 5 freaking minutes is just pointless and ridiculous ware and tear on the controller. I actually played that sequence with my girlfriend's hot pink Dualshock so that my own wouldn't have to suffer.

I don't mind when a single button prompt shows up on screen (like in God of War), but those repetitive, hit-the-same-button-over-and-over again QTEs drive me crazy. The Walking Dead comes to mind here...

1. Tearaway is one of the most charming, clever games that I have ever played.

2. Lumines Electronic Symphony almost justifies the purchase of my Vita by itself.

3. Tales of Hearts R is something that I have my eye on.

Those are my thoughts.

I like that it's cross-buy and cross-save, but I think I'll stick with the 2012 reboot of Twisted Metal for my car-combating needs.

This game is going to look fantastic.

Well this game just seems like a bad idea on all accounts. Really entertaining review, though!

I've been a big supporter of portable gaming my whole life and certainly love my 3DS and Vita, but I seriously have a hard time understanding why anybody would want to play this game on a handheld instead of their PS3 or 360. Sammy makes a good point about being able to grind-on-the-go with the Vita version via cross-save, but that certainly shouldn't be a selling point for a game that has been on the market since the fall of 2012.

Tales of Xillia 2 for this guy. I can't wait to get back into that world with those characters again.

The only game in the series that I've played was #3 on the Wii U. I thought it was an amazing game - played it twice and loved every minute of it. While I'm generally a fan of updated re-releases, I do think that I can pass on this one.

Personally I am very much looking forward to this title. I don't own a PS4 yet, but when I do get around to buying one I want this game to be one of the first that I play on the system.
