    I really should have held onto Motorstorm... seeing the DLC for this come out is maddening, as I thought they wouldn't actually support the game this much.

    Glad to see the battlefield demo. Only $15 is a steal, especially since a lack of maps is just a DLC away.
    And also, off topic, but I just noticed, are there a lot more star commenters, or is it just me?

    Was going to get for the low price, but glad that I've tried the demo first: it is pretty much like a DEMO to me. Guess I shouldn't complain coz you get what you've paid for. Thanks, I will save my $15 for the next CoDWaW map pack (if there will be one).

    Downloaded Battlefield 1943 a few hours ago. A good deal for $15, but the lack of maps may irk some people. Good thing that can change with a DLC update.

    @zach a mac rack alack: Its fun. If you've played BF2 before then you'll like it. I have yet to purchase it but I have given the demo a run for my entire 30 minutes. Small game, but worth the 15$. I wonder if they will gradually expand on the title with DLC. Something tells me there are classes, maps, and modes purposely held back to be released as DLC, besides the map and mode that releases once the 360 or PS3 base reaches 43 million kills.

    Wasn't Spec Ops a $10 game when it was released? Makes that $6 seem awfully expensive.

    I wonder if the 360 and PS3 versions of BF1943 use the same EA servers, and they just keep the different console data separated. If so I feel bad for the PS3 users, because that game is still a pain to get working.

    @Tom Clancy's Samuraidino: Yeah I just picked it up a couple of weeks ago when it was on sale on Amazon so I didn't have to deal with the bugs when it first came out. I would be pretty bummed if something like that happened since that's like buying a game that's essentially broken.

    Hm, nothing I really want this week. Guess I'll keep on waiting for Trine, Wild ARMs 2, or Marvel vs. Capcom 2. It's probably for the best, anyway, I really shouldn't be spending any money so close to being homeless.

    @emwurst: Ape Escape: On The Loose for PSP is a port of Ape Escape for PS1, they mapped the right analog stick controls to the face buttons instead.

  • Alternate
    July 10, 2009 at 9:23 AM
    @MoeB: Well, it IS free, so its worth it. One day I went and enqueued all the downloads on PSN and actually ended up buying a few games that I was surprised that I liked. It's always worth a shot. That and Ghostbusters was on Kotaku's Summer Must Play list.

  • emwurst
    July 10, 2009 at 9:22 AM
    @PlatformJunkie: Wouldn't work. PS1 classics have to be compatible with both the PS3 controller and the PSP. If you'll remember, Ape Escape heavily relied on dual analog sticks to play (the game was basically a glorified tech demo for the Dualshock controller). PSP only has one analog stick, therefor compatibility goes down the drain, and the masses weep. But that doesn't mean that Sony won't release a PSP incompatible version. Cross your fingers.

    @Bialia: I'd just wait for the GOTY edition to get all the DLC for the price of the base game. Even if you already have the game, I'd trade it in, unless your saves and whatnot wouldn't carry over.

    Im picking up the 1943 demo to satiate my Battlefield hunger until I can scrape the cash together for a PSN card. Although, its probably for the best, what with the massive server fail that happened at launch with the 360 version. Honestly, you'd think at this point, game companies would be more prepared, instead of constantly saying "whoops, we thought our game would be unpopular so we totally skimped on the server funds." Don't they realize the game being good at launch is one of the most important aspects of spreading the word about their new game?

    @Tom Clancy's Samuraidino: lol, sad but probably true. I was expecting a ton of bugs when I picked up fallout 3 for the PS3 but it hasn't been that bad at all. It froze once or twice, but I save often so it's never too bad
  • Bialia
    July 10, 2009 at 9:08 AM
    @Tom Clancy's Samuraidino: Honestly, I don't know why I'm letting myself get all worked up over this DLC anyway, because you're probably right. At this rate, I'll be downloading it after Broken Steel comes out, 'cause I started a new game a week or two after the DLC was announced for PS3, and wound up maxing out my character and finishing the game. Again.
