Can't wait to finally see what all the fuss is about The Binding of Isaac. Hot damn.
Twisted imagery mixed with elements from Zelda 1; what is not to love XD! Can't wait to try the game out myself
; a PS+ game that I've been waiting for . Anyway, how is Frozen Synapse Prime? I know the PS3 version is going on PS+ next week (shame no cross-buy with Vita....but that did come out a few weeks back :l), so is it like a SRPG? Those always intimidated me (as I suck with stratage games X(), so maybe this might be a nice introduction to them

That's its regular price, you will be fine but you won't get the preorder DLC I believe.

Can't wait. I heard there are twin stick shooter elements in there, as well? I've also heard of people putting insane amounts of time into this game...I've been dying to play it for a long time, but my PC is a piece.Twisted imagery mixed with elements from Zelda 1; what is not to love XD!

More of a tactical combat simulator than an srpg... it shares some traits but I certainly wouldn't consider it to be an introduction to srpgs and I wouldn't be intimidated either (no need to be intimidated by srpgs either, go pick up Jeanne D'Arc PSP and fall in love).
You have a fireteam, each equipped with various guns. Each turn represents a few seconds of time, and you set up your teams exact actions. Basically, that means you can set up complex pathing using 1, or many, waypoints. At each waypoint you can also set exact facing for your character.
What preorder dlc? I got it in from amazon with no bonuses that I know of.
Then you can test your turn, and see if everything works like you want. If not, you can adjust, adding/moving waypoints, etc. When you're happy with your turn you approve it, and all units (friends, enemies) move together. When your units see an enemy they automatically fire, with proper facing being important for speed/accuracy.
This means you're responsible for proper fireteam tactics -- advancing on fortified positions, breaching doors, flanking enemies, etc.
Great game.

As I said, I'd be here to support your entry to creating the PSN threads Zero! I support Chibi Miku and put forth the notion of switching it up between chibi vocaloids.
If it doesn't win I'll sell my Vita. I'm broke and can't afford the game at this point, but lucky for me I remembered I saved $35 in my account just in case something unfortunate would happen to my funds. Always plan for the unexpected. I'm going to have to work after this semester though, I'm sick of being a poor college student. I plan to make use of the AA degree in accounting I'll be receiving at the end of this year while working towards my BA.
If you buy it from the Store you can still get it. Ends in 10 days though, so there is still time.

What isvthe pre-order dlc? Is it actually worth rushing to get it?
This seems to be it. Suits look cool.
Nope, not for me. Can't find/dl any of my Premium Avatars.

GOING TO TEST NOW!!! Perhaps all those death threats I've sent is finally paying off!
EDIT: Still can't set my Terra Branford Premium Avatar

Are there any news about the PS+ games for Europe?
That's the normal price, yes.
So, those plus games, which are worth the download and playtime?
I'm definitely getting BOI, been interested in trying that since quite some time. Steamworld Dig is a Metroidvania with drills and wild west flair, right? Will get that one too. I'm still undecided on Luftrausers and have no clue about Evil Horde, Escape Plan is already off my radar.
Will you be staying permanently?
Most likely the same games.
BoI:R and Frozen Synapse look interesting. I'm not sold on the others yet.

Someone posted the picture so to answer the question about the DLC, if u order Freedom Wars from a participating retailer or PSN for the first week (I believe it is a week), you would get that stuff.

Freedom Wars pre-order DLC is the first 2 weeks at least on US PSN.

Well there you have it folks. For those who did buy freedom wars on PSN, if you go check your DL list you will see that you actually downloaded a Freedom Wars Bundle that comes with the game and the content.
Good to know, thanks!As it stands though, I think your Vita is fine

To me, any game is worth the time to buy/download.
Luftrausers is amazing if you like score attack dogfight style combat. Controls are turn/thrust/stall style, not 'point in a direction' and go.
Evil Horde is a day 1 ps+ game I believe, so no word on that yet. I've watched vids on it... you control a zombie horde and there seems to be a lot of diverse minigames. So ymmv.

Anyone know how you get this preorder content if you preordered a physical copy? There's no code in my box and going to it on the vita store doesn't show any DLC. I'm stumped. (preordered from Amazon).
Sometimes they'll send you a code via E-Mail.
Amazon should of sent you an email. I would ask them about it. I preordered from Best Buy and went to pick up the title "in-store" and I got the code printed out on the receipt and Best Buy sent me an email.
Should've been sent through email. Gmail ended up sticking it in my Promotions subfolder, so I just thought it was an ad initially.
Have we talked about this?

I'm thinking come Tuesday we'll have premium avatars. They're definitely there, and SEN says download to your Vita but does nothing right now.
If I get 3-5 PMs to stay I will. :^)

Well darn. Haven't kept up with this game though. Wasn't sure if I was going to get the iPad version or the Vita one.

Derp. Thanks guys. I forgot my Amazon email is different from the two primary emails I use. The code was sitting there, staring at me like a lonely puppy.
Some say there are no stupid questions, but they're wrong. Thanks for the answer.

I have no intentions of getting this game, but why would this get delayed so much...? It's just a mobile port.
What if I send you 3-5 PMs?

From what I've seen CRIII Vita is not performing like a non-mobile game should be, so maybe this time they'll try do to a better job.
Eh, limited space (still rocking 8GB) and slow, unstable internet connection often lead to more hassle than some games are worth. And I'm lazy as well as picky.
Thanks. Yeah, looked up some videos of Luftrausers and while it seems well made, I'm not really into score attack games. Will give Evil Horde a look if people in this thread have something positive to say about it, even though I'm less optimistic.

Ah damn.. I was kind of looking forward to this.
Though "they are working to improve the game's quality" makes sense I guess seeing how Chaos Rings ended up.

3DS ver. gets releasing EU during November, no word on Vita ver. yet.
Thank you for the clarification
. Maybe when my backlog dies down, I will consider getting Jeanne D'Arc for my Vita (Gaf recommending me games has always lead to great results; cannot thank Gaf enough for introducing me to the Persona series ). Frozen Synapse Prime should be a fun game to play then
.Man, you in for a treat then
. SteamWorld Dig is an amazing game; the fastest I've ever beat a game on my Vita (as I beat the game in about 5 hours across two/three gaming sessions). I really enjoyed it, so I hope you give it a chance ....just don't expect it to be like Splunky or Minecraft; each of the games three/four mines are not randomly generated like those games....so, they don't change on repeated playthroughs sadly . Liftarus is also a solid game too; fun arcade action in short bursts
. The controls are great and the retro-visuals really pop on Vita. You can't beat a game where you can just fly through many ships in a row and destroy tons of planes with your lazer beam XD.
