Where is there a '9/10' rating displayed on Steam for these games? There's a Metacritic rating but that's out of 100 and the Steam user ratings are a % as well.


I'd swear when I looked at them earlier there was a line with a 9/10 on the steam page just below the trailer videos but when i look now its not there.

Not exactly Shawshank Redemption, but this system rewards movies like The King's Speech and Lincoln.

I like the look of Super Time Force Ultra (and probably Grow Home) and whilst my initial reaction was meh I'm glad to try out something new even if there is no big AAA that I've probably already played.

Has anyone used a playstation TV to play PS4 games on a second screen?

Refitting the second living room as a playroom and its directly above the living room where the Virgin router is. PS4 is ethernet cabled to the router so would only have one WiFi leg, which works fairly well to stream Prime on the same smart TV so thinking that could work (likely only the boy would use it a lot)

No, but I have used a Vita with the PS4 for remote play and it's effectively the same technology. It should be ok for Apple Slice - a bit of input lag but over the same wifi network should be fine.

Entering PS Plus:

1st September: Grow Home (PS4)
1st September: Super Time Force Ultra (PS4 and PS Vita)
1st September: Twisted Metal (PS3)
1st September: Teslagrad (PS4 and PS3)
1st September: La-Mulana EX (PS Vita)
1st September: Xeodrifter (PS4 and PS Vita)


I must insist that anyone who

1) likes Metroidvania style games
2) doesn't have much time for lengthy gaming
3) is actually interested in playing decent games,

give Xeodrifter a whirl (especially if you've got a PS Vita) because it satisfies all of the above and, in my opinion, is reet good. Videos of it do no justice whatsoever to how responsive the controls are and how it's a decent little Metroid-lite slice of gaming.

Almost finished and recommended already.

Grow Home.

It starts off bad. The options screen seems utterly unresponsive to a single button press.

But when it really starts things start looking up. It initially looks bloody lovely. Nice colours, great vista.

Then you move your robot character and it falls apart. Does anyone remember that episode of Friends when Joey says "Come on, French it up." Grow Home is like someone at Ubisoft said "Come on, physics it up." The physics engine is pushing against you throughout and it's so frustrating that you want to smash the face off your little idiotic robot cunt.

I'm going to do it. I'll grow my big plant into the sky. But once it's done it will be instantly deleted.

Throughout it I was thinking if Nintendo got their hands on this they would make some awesome climbing, platformer akin a strange mash up of Mario and Pilotwings but as it stands it plays like a failed tech demo that needs a few more months of polish, and/or a second look by someone with an objective eye, before being tossed into the publics hands.

What is happening with this month's PS+? People were all like "meh, this is the worst month EVA" but I'm enjoying this month more than recent months.

Xeodrifter was great.
Gone Home was interesting (-ish). At least it didn't last long.

Now Teslagrad is acebest. I've never heard of it not was I going to play it; I just turned it on to see what it was even though the picture to start the game looked rubbish. Turns out it's another little fab indie game. I've enjoyed it so much I'm going to stick with it until the end. The utterly fab intro widens out into another Metroid-lite map.

Well worth turning on to see if you fancy it.

Has anyone been playing Super Time Force Team or whatever it's called? I love the concept, I love the style, but I can't shake this feeling I'm succeeding through blind luck rather than any kind of method or design. I gun and run, die, rewind, drop a new chap, maybe drop another, run and gun, die, rinse, repeat. I never feel like my 'ghosts' are particularly helping or if I should be thinking more strategically.

I will persevere, as I'm hoping the game just hasn't clicked for me yet.

Cor the Vita offerings this month were dire, weren't they?

Rabbit Kung Fu is budget rubbish that I couldn't stomach for more than 20 minutes before deleting it.

Kickbeat fared less well as it was pure gobshite and lasted about 10 minutes before meeting the same fate.

It's a good job online Bezziage is having a renaissance or I'd be tempted to cancel.

SMB (it's just occured to me, is it designed to share the same initials with Super Mario Bros?) is as good as ever on Vita. In fact, I prefer the format, it's more of a pick-up-and-play/pick-up-and-chuck-the-Vita-against-the-bathroom-wall kind of a game.

Broken Age also seems nice - but I keep getting an error message kicking me out of the game after 10 minutes of playing. Anyone else having similar problems on the Vita?

Probably not. There was a Meat Boy before Super Meat Boy.

But how often is it referred to as MB? Not that I ever recall.

I don't think I'd recognise the SMB acronym unless there was a picture of a pudgy faced plumber next to it.

Acronyms are for losers.

Or AR4L, if you will.

I don't think Meat Boy is referred to as MB either. Look at the correlation!

Yes, the point I'm making is that they didn't pick the name of the character to match marios acronym. :roll:

Yeah, I can't get BA to work on Vita, I keep getting the cursor stuck in the bottom left and it is continually active as an input, so skips all cuts scenes, clicks buttons if they happen to coincide with the cursor location, etc.

The problem you're having sounds like it could be to do with the rear touchpad. Is that activated?

I've found that powering down my Vita (probably the first time in six months) and trying again has led to error-free Broken Ageage.

It's a really lovely little game, though would like a little more depth to the puzzles. Don't have the patience for anything as involved as something like Grim Fandango these days, but there's a happy medium to shoot for.

Bring on the Vita port of Day of the Tentacle.

aka as a brilliantly pointless feature. Whatever usefulness it promised in finessed controls was eradicated by that fact one's fat fingers are always resting on it. What with it being a handheld device and everything.

Do you? I don't even have big hands, but I feel like my fingers are constantly pawing the touchpad. The finger rests look like they want your fingertips in them, but that means one's hands are sticking too far out, like you're gingerly carrying a crab.

It is used to represent the goal in FIFA, so when you shoot, you touch (and hold for power) on the touch pad in the area of the goal you want to shoot. That soon trains you not to rest your fingers there!

That' was why I quickly turned off the touchpad. While I really liked that use-case in Fifa, I couldn't be bothered challenging my muscle memory in that way.

Yeah, I got FIFA as I bought the Vita so had no real issue with that. I still think slightly deeper finger rests would be better.

Do you? I don't even have big hands, but I feel like my fingers are constantly pawing the touchpad. The finger rests look like they want your fingertips in them, but that means one's hands are sticking too far out, like you're gingerly carrying a crab.

If you've got your index fingers resting on the shoulder buttons I can't imagine it being comfortable not having your fingertips on them...
