Double the fun!

Seriously... get Kid Icarus.


Yeah, I'm double dipping like a loon. Will probably sell my old one mind.

And Kid Icarus is awesome. The 3DS (and Vita to be fair) are incredible consoles.

<3.99> on Botanicula for Android.

I've quickly given up on Counterspy which is a real shame. Initial impressions were fantastic and I thought it might turn out to be one of my favourite mobile games ever but the controls and overall design quickly let it down. The touch controls seem great at first but are just janky enough to ensure that you will make mistakes that get you into trouble, and that you'll then struggle to survive when the shit hits the fan. The actual level design is such that you can never see exactly what's ahead of you and in a stealth game that's pretty much unforgivable as you have no choice but to very often blunder into a firefight you'd rather have avoided. The final straw though is that you've got a 'score' that travels with you throughout the game and if that reaches zero at any point then all your progress is essentially wiped and you're kicked back to the first level to start again. This is pretty shite at the best of times to my mind but when you'll consistently lose 'points' from that score due to the design and control issues I mention above the result is a genuine desire to hurl your phone through a window when you inevitably get to what could've been the last level in a set only to have an hour or so's progress kicked back in your face. It's so close to being a brilliant game and yet far enough away to not deserve your time. I'm sure it'll play much better on the PS3/PS4/Vita but I don't know if fixing the controls would be enough to rescue it frankly.

<11.17> on three months of PS+. That's less than Valiant Hearts alone would cost me and I've got the Oddworld remake on my 'to play' list as well so I come out ahead on the deal. And that's even before it means I get a shot of OlliOlli2 and to see whether Counterspy is actually any good on a proper controller.

Oh yeah, I'm rubbish at it too but I think it looks lovely.

I have an original 3DS and I think this could be the game to make me upgrade to a new one.

I've just checked your maths and you're right, it's not totalling correctly for some reason.

Ah, back in February you posted about buying The Castlevania Adventures and you formatted the price as ".75"; I think it's treating that as £75 and you'll need to put it as "0.75" for it to pick up the decimal correctly.

I did wonder if that might be it. I've edited it now so let's see...

*edit* Yep. That's sorted it. Thanks Bamba. Good spot!
