It's not even on the psn store, only x is. I would totally re-buy it so I could play it on the vita, mega man is like the perfect portable game for me, and this one just has so much stuff. The x port isn't bad, but it doesn't have nearly as much content.

Completed Prey on the 360 earlier, after ploughing close to 7 hours into it. Can I be bothered to go back through it on Cherokee difficulty? Not right away, but I will go back through it at some point. The idea of the portals leading to different parts of the level is a damn good one, and was well implimented. Not bad for a game that only cost me 48p. Anyone else got this, as I want to get the multiplayer achievements at some point.

I'e got it (picked it up for just under £2 back in January), need to play through it first though! I haven't actually had my Xbox 360 on for over a month now, got loads of 360 games yet to play, been too busy working my way through all the PSP stuff I picked up in Game's firesale at the moment.

You'll enjoy it, in a retro kind of way. It feels very "Quake 2" in design. That's a good thing! :lol:
I'd also hazard that the storyline is actually pretty adult as well, although its blood & guts quotient certainly earns the 18. Vastly underrated game.

Devil may cry collectin for the ps3. I've forgotten how good the original game was. The excellent selection of enemies and bosses have not lost their impact a decade on and the combat system stil feels near perfect. The port is excellent as well, the games look sharp and run perfectly. Some of the texturing looks to be touched up as parts look quite nice in hd, the rest look about how I imagined an hd port of a ps2 game would look. My only complaint with the collection is the menus and Fmvs which don't seem to take up the whole of my tv screen :? Seems weird that the menus were not made hd but its negligible as the game still plays brilliantly and that's all that matters. A couple of the secre missions are kicking my ass, beating the 3 shadows or getting the kyclops to kill ech other are justas hard as I remember them!

Crysis on the PS3. Never play it before due to it being a PC release only back then. About time I get to play it as the gameplay is very interesting thanks to the stealthy Cloak mode. Currently half way with the campaign mode.

yeah a great game,i emulated it after reading about it in the RG mag,i was surprised how complex it is with the timeline/alternate history parts.

Soldiering on with the first Bioshock still. Great game but I think the Vita chambers are a hindrance since respawning with no ammo/health packs/money really sucks. I Find myself abusing the save system and constantly reloading like I did in Doom 3 which I'm not proud of but it's the easiest way to get around while always having a full stock of ammo/supplies.
