7,92? to spend on PS Store

edited February 2014 in Chit chat
I don't know if I should go for:

Lone Survivor (looks very interesting)

Broken Sword 5 (never played a Broken Sword game before, but I love Point n Click adventures)

Resident Evil Operation Racoon City (I heard it's bad? seen some play trough online and didn't even look like a Resi Game)

Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (I'm not sure if I won't get bored with this one?)

on a side note, there is also a game called spelunky, looks like Jack the Nipper.

    Only buy this if you were a really big fan of the game in the 90's.

    I bought it a week or so ago, and have hardly touched it, had about 3 goes all with the head swap characters. Couldn't even be bothered to play as anybody else.

    Still I had to have it :D

    Don't buy this either, dunno about where you live, but here the actual disc is way cheaper than the download.

    Don't know the currency, but that may just be for part one? The "season pass" is probably dearer than that. It's a fun game, probably more at home on the PC but the Vita version works quite well once you get used to it. It's probably one that appeals more to fans of the series like me.

    Yeah, it's not. Very 8-bit, though, in terms of being rock hard and unforgiving. Been around for a few years but the new daily challenge feature has increased its popularity and replayability (for those that like that sort of thing).

    I take it you have a vita. Broken sword 5 for me. Good humour and very atmospheric. I would love to play this, but its vita only:(

    didn't realize that Broken Sword is for Vita :(

    Still have the PSP, and I don't think I'll buy a Vita any time soon...

    I played it for about half an hour when it came out as part of a Humble Bundle a couple of years back, and haven't touched it since. Suffice it to say that it didn't make a great impression.

    If that's the one that looks like an 8/16 bit Silent Hill, I almost bought it a week or so back, but for some reason I didn't?

    I've been quite tempted by I Am Alive, but $14.99 is a bit steep for a game I'm not going to have a real copy of.

    I don't know if it's the same on the PS Store (I hardly ever look at it) but I Am Alive is constantly on offer in the Xbox market place! I bought my copy a while ago for about ?5. I've still yet to start playing it though :lol:

    One game on PS3 that I'd heard alot of good things about is Hotline Miami which costs about ?5.50 (I got mine in a sale for ?3.50) but I found it really disappointing! There's alot of stealth involved, but the controls are too "floaty" to for it to be properly playable IMO. It's also a cross buy title and the one purchase works on both my PS3 and Vita, so it's good value in that respect!

    I really enjoyed the demo of that one... waiting for the price to fall

    Lone Survivor is pretty good, a bit like a 2D Silent Hill, but I wouldn't spend more than ?3.99 / 4.87 Euros for it personally...I got it in that Humble Bundle as well! There's an online demo you can try if you want to see what it plays like...

    (demo lags a bit at the start, but sorts itself out eventually)

    I hear elsewhere that you've just got a new PC, so you might want to consider giving the original version a look. It was designed with mouse and keyboard control in mind and that might make the difference for you.

    I hope by lag you mean it's slow to start? How can a game that looks like that slow a machine down?

    Unless there's like 300 rabid mongs chasing after you at once? :D

    No...for some reason, the intro lags a bit! Took about 3 minutes for it to start with me...was fine after that though!
