Does anybody know if there's anywhere with a good price on Tekken 3D? Been after it for a while but I've never actually seen a copy in the wild and my usual haunt Play.com still want £32.99 for it. It's Tekken so I know I'll love the gameplay but the single player is reputedly crap so I'm not keen on blowing full RRP on it unless I have to.

Zavvi have it for £27.95, and Shopto is out of stock, but a great price of £21.85.

How about Pullblox which has received very positive reviews? (I've got it, but not played it that much)

Shopto have it for £21.85, though it's currently out of stock. Having a copy here in my house, I still wouldn't say it's worth that price, as the single player is indeed very crap and the online is deserted and laggy. It's just another Tekken, nothing more, nothing less - you know exactly how it plays. Any other version you have will definitely suffice!

Yeah but I'm a Tekken nut :lol:. Besides, all I had to see was stuff like classic stages/music being included and I wanted it :oops: .

Saying all that, I own and enjoy Tekken Advance whereas it seems anybody else who has played it don't :lol:

I'm in a minority because some people seem to love it, but I'm honestly not that taken with Pullblox at all. It's a decent enough game, but very slow paced and gets very boring fairly quickly...severe lack of variety in it and music that gets annoying after a short amount of time (think there's only 1 or 2 tunes as well?). On saying that, I do keep going back to it for some odd reason and it's quite a lengthy game, plus you can create your own puzzles and scan new ones in so maybe it's just me. :?

Personally, I'd plump for one of Wayforward's games (Mighty Flip Champs and Mighty Milky Way on DSiWare, or Mighty Switch Force on 3DSWare), or a couple of the better DSiWare puzzlers like Reflect Missile or PicoPict. Dodogo! is also well worth a look, Space Tank 3D (crappy title) is a very good Starfox style shooter with a nice art style, and Go! Go! Kokopolo! is a great little maze chase game with a hefty challenge in it as well.

I don't think that Pullblox is a game for everyone, but if it's one that you like it's incredibly good value and with practically limitless content. Basically, it's a logic puzzle presented as a platformer. The individual elements are very simple, but can be combined to make some highly intricate puzzles at the later levels; even if the first 50-odd can be blazed through with little trouble, the last couple of hundred will keep you busy for a long time.

I also recently downloaded Mighty Switch Force and, whilst it's good while it lasts, I think it's a bit short for the money. There are just 16 levels and, except for a particularly fiendish last one that took many attempts, they can all be solved in the space of a few minutes.

Hmm, just noticed Theatrhythm Final Fantasy is priced at £23.09 on Amazon, along with a couple of preorder bonuses.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007 ... d_i=468294

For that price and extra goodies, might just snap up a preorder.

This looks a nice RPG. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaEpTLs2U78

Also Soul of Darkness is a pretty good Castlevania type game.

Zenonia's not bad, but it is quite fiddly and very poorly translated in parts. If I'm honest, I was quite disappointed with it and didn't think it was worth the 800 points I paid. It's also dirt cheap on i-devices. It actually 'feels' like a tarted up mobile phone game as well, which doesn't do it many favours. Could be just me though, it does have a fairly sizeable fanbase of people who do actually like it.

I have zenonia on ps3 minis already. its not great and is a little fiddly. i went for the 3d versions of Kirby and Kid Icarus in the end. Kirby is great fun! now wanting to buy more for it although i only have enough cash for 1 game. stuck between Tales of the Abyss and Kid Icarus. looks like Tales is slowly going back up in price again :?
