If you like God of War, that's a pretty awesome collection. I'm moderately interested in the inFamous collection, but I already have the first game, so I'll probably skip it.
Now the Ratchet & Clank Collection is a totally different story. That's a must-have.
I'm glad to hear that Ted Price understood the flaws of All 4 One. This realization should help bring the quality of that series back up to what we saw in a Crack in Time. It's funny how making some small changes to something that works can ruin it.
I'm not sure I completely agree about the offline experience. Networks are networks, whether it's a local one or the Internet. It seems more like an unwillingness of publishers to provide these offline experiences because there's more money to be had diverting all traffic through a network that is controlled by either the publisher or someone like Microsoft, who has a vested interest in getting traffic through their network.
Local multiplayer is the only type of multiplayer I continue to enjoy, so it's pretty disappointing to see it just fade away because of the rise of online gaming.
Just gave you a little front page love on this, Mr. 117. Thanks for the great blog!
Damn, that's too bad. I'm surprised to hear it though, usually people abandon the games before they really get into them because they start so slow. I've always found that once I'm knee deep, I'm completely addicted.
A Link to the Past would be a good one for you to try again. It's fairly short and it has immediate, non-stop action. One of my favorites in the series for sure.
I agree, it definitely should've been there from the beginning. At this point they're kind of in a corner in that they can't afford to fragment the market by incorporating it into a new model of the system.
This looks like Theif + Geist + Stacking (many ways to accomplish one goal). That's one amazing combination of games... all I can say is that I want it. Bad.
3D Dot Game Heroes! That game is great. I watched Chessa play it and I think I'm going to dive into it myself once I finish my A Link to the Past replay.
I'm surprisingly more interested in this after going through this preview. It's not a system seller, but it seems like it'll be a fun distraction.
