LittleBigPlanet Beta
So last week I hit a stroke of luck and managed to snag a LBP Beta code. And all I have to say is WOW I can't wait till the full game. It's somehow found a way to meet up with my expectations. The story side of the game is great. When playing with a friend of mine we had loads of fun finding the secret items, listening to the narrator and of course slapping each other around! Creating is great. I feel limitless right now...and I barely have a small portion of the amount of items that are in the game that you can use! While it does take some time to learn how to use create mode and at first it can seem a little overwhelming I found that very quickly I was able to start making stuff very easily. But from what I've seen so far Sharing is where this game is going to shine the most. The first few days there were some ok levels, some not so good levels, some test levels, and then there were some freaking amazing levels. But now there are more and more levels showing up that are amazing and less that are not so good. I have to give a special shout out to whoever made some of the favorites. Being one that was a shadow of the collossus themed level, a level that had a Metal Gear in it and then the "Heist" levels. Some really great stuff. Not to mention the pinball and space invaders level.
MegaMan 9
So yesterday I downloaded MegaMan 9 off of the PSN store. I remember back in the good old days of elementary school I was completely wrapped up in such games as MegaMan and Sonic. MegaMan 9 however was one of those games I just never got a chance to play so I figured....now was a great time! Thirty minutes after starting up the game I was ready to strangle my little blue friend. I missed jumps, hit spikes, and was killed by an elephant more times than I could count. In fact I mentioned to a friend of mine....I remember playing MegaMan when I was little...and I did just fine....do I, as a gamer, suck more now than when I was 8? I guess we'll find out soon enough as I'm not willing to put the game down. It's still great no matter how frustrating and it reminds me of the good old days....all of like 8 years ago....WipEout HD
I vaguely remember playing one of the older WipEout games but only a few times. Yesterday along with MegaMan I got this as well. And after having played a good few hours of it....I have to say that I love this game. The action is very much fast paced, it's got custom soundtracks, zone mode is freaking awesome, it's got custom soundtracks, it reminds me of the Speed Racer movie(which I LOVED), it's got custom sound tracks, zone mode gets pretty crazy fast after a while, oh and it's got this thing called custom soundtracks! I could rant and rave about how no one seems to want to support custom soundtracks after firmware 2.4 but I won't. I understand why a lot of games don't support it. But seriously. I've been wanting a good racing game for my PS3 and WipEout HD is THAT game. Zone mode, which by the way is awesome, alone will keep me playing plus it's got a good amount of trophies that I guess I'll have to try and get even though I'm not too big on them anyways....but I MUST GROW BEYOND LEVEL 1!
I did have about 7 or so dollars left on my account though after getting MM9 and WipEout so I finally was able to get Wild Arms from the PSONE Classic section. Played Wild Arms 3 and really liked it so I've been wanting to try this one out as well. I haven't got a chance to play it yet though. Currently trucking along with Disgaea 3, LBP Beta, MM9 and WipEout so obviously my hands are just a little full right now! But oh well...it's a good time to be a gamer :D
