Hell yes. You really need to communicate this to SCE.

@SOS,
Yeah but I have the Wii also – and the PSN games are always where I turn to first. I don’t know why. Any thoughts?

Sev – so true. As I’ve had less and less time, I try to get a quick fix and literally can’t boot up GTA IV by the time I need to head out the door. So I’ve started playing a garden in PixelJunk Eden. Or going for a trophy in PAIN.

All they need to add is a RESUME feature – kinda like the PSP goes into standby and boots back up where you left it (Wii does this with virtual console titles). Oh man, if the PS3 had this… I’d be on a roll and progressing so much further in my PSN games.

This is why the Wii is so successful.

I can’t agree with you more. Lucky for me I still haven’t bought a ton of PSN games so I still have a lot to enjoy. Its just so great to be able to say”Oh hey, I have an extra 10 bucks on hand, why not get a new game?” And then 10 minutes later you are playing an awesome game that you didn’t even have to leave your house for.

Very nice article. I love the new direction PlayStation Lifestyle has taken. Concerning the subject, I haven’t bought that many PSN games in the past. Trophies made me buy SSHD and Eden, and they are both games I have enjoyed a lot. So I’m gonna start to download more games. And it’s very nice not having to change discs.

The games are brilliant on the service; Blast Factor is great with the slowmo mechanic. I have about 8 titles from PSNs service; I admit, I regret buying ONE and that my friends; is ‘Lemmings’ or should I say, ‘Plays-bugger-all-like-all-previous-Lemmings-Games-Should-of-ported-PSP/PS2-version’.
The rest is awesome, love the shooters, experimental games and the wacky Pain, never know what you’re going to get on it, especially with the ball rolling with Siren and R&CQ4B.
I’m glad you guys have a good view on these games unlike Kamiboy’s rant on Sixth-axis.

I love the PSN games. I can’t wait for more to be released. I’ll play Fat Princess for hours on end.

Well stated. I don’t get why people love shooters. All in all most shooters are relatively the same. A few different weapons here and some style changes here, but more or less how many times can people handle doing the same moves over and over and over again?

Remember when platformers and action games flooded the market? Games like Prince of Persia. DMC, God of War, Shadow of the Collossus… is it just me or have atleast half of these games been replaced by Shooters?
