  1. Grandia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. Hey, is Grandia really good?. I want a cool RPG but I don’t if Grandia would make the cut.

  3. ummm why was my post deleted? lastboss and dreamer_lion over here are as off-topic as i

    but yeah…its about time we get the Darksiders and GoW3 demo!

    @dreamer_lion: yesm, its a pretty kickass game

  4. Finnally Tester episode 2. most reality shows have nothing to interest me with but this has something that i can relate with. Also, it’s about time that the people that didnt get the GoW3 code got the demo. my freind was bugging me about that

  5. Sweet, Love The Tester and want to try out Darksiders. Great update imo

  6. Nice update. I can’t wait to get U2… : [

  7. finally the god of war demo is out

  8. the GoW3 demo is extremely large…and i guess ill check out the second episode of the tester for kicks…

  9. yeah! yesterday i got the new U2 dlc and let me say it rocks, highly recommend it, one of the best things in this update

  10. Yeah I got the Uncharted 2 DLC finally as well as the GOW 3 demo

  11. I thought how3 was only in Europe for demo

  12. Also the Tester is out too XD Even though its kinda stupid and really pointless to watch but I want to watch it =o Just Curious Enough

  13. Big PSN update this week. Its good to see Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix and Warhawk on sale. Its also good that they put the God of War 3 demo and Darksiders demo on the Playstation Store.

  14. Played the Darksiders demo and that game is insanely fun. Reminds me of God of War and I loved that. Sometimes the camera pissed me off, but that game is fun and I will be getting that sometime.

  15. hmmm warhawk also seems pretty cool….is it worth the 15 USD? i hear that its a great game, but im not too big on shooters (depends on the content tho)

    also, SHOULD i get the DLC along with the game if i do get it?

    and meh on SF2 HD remix and all the other junk……

    i may try out darksiders tho….ive been too busy with college and heavy rain -_-

  16. Warhawk is worth $15 easily. The expansions make the game much better.

    And Darksiders is really fun. Like more fun that I would have ever expected.

  17. see now im a super cheap guy and as warhawk seems enticing….its still an 07 game. has it aged well or something? i mean, MGO works fine as my online shooter game

    on topic tho….ep 2 of the tester was dreadful…a wee better than ep 1 but still….its disgusting…

  18. @SonyJunkie

    The Darksiders demo was indeed very fun. The game is like a mix of various games like God of War 3 and Zelda.
