I've heard Space Invaders is awesome. And if you haven't downloaded Shatter it's a must. Awesome game.

[Buzzman]

Im so buying this game since its discounted. Never even heard of it until I saw it on that list and got curious.

im def. gonna get shatter

[Twigg4075]

I had never heard of Hoard either but after looking at the video it appears to be a RTS or tower defense game? If so I'm even less interested than before.

Did you watch the whole video?

The entire thing is mainly just flying around looting cities until the time runs out. Upgrade your dragon, rinse and repeat. It's going to end up like crack to me. Its kind of the exact opposite of a RTS because your the attacker, not the defender.

So for other PS+ members, where do I go to turn on the option for auto downloads and updates?

I'll admit that I haven't checked for myself as I'm not near my ps3 right now.

[Buzzman]

Go to system settings and first thing you'll see is automatic downloads. Turn it on.

Stackers for free? Nice! That's the new game from Tim Schafer's Double Fine.

[padman59]

Played a little of Stacking today, and it's a solid puzzle game. Definitely worth a try if you have PS+.

[padman59]

PS+ users will be able to download free Sega Genesis games starting next month with Sonic the Hedgehog. From the sound of it, it might be only one per month though.

Regardless, I missed out on the Genesis franchises as a kid since I had SNES. So I'll be looking forward to these.

That's cool and all but I already have the Sonic's Genesis Collection. Basically every awesome Genesis game on one disc.

I got all excited when I checked out the store today and say a tab for Gameloft "Specials". I click on it and see Earthworm Jim HD as one of their games. I click on that and...$9.99. WTF? Isn't that the regular price?

And was it just me or did the store never update Tuesday night or was it ridiculously late? I know I checked after we recorded the podcast and that was 9:30pm EST and no fucking update.

[padman59]

I've thought about buying the Genesis Collection on a few occasions, but I always passed in favor of something else.

[SHOGUN]

I wish I had a PSP just for Samurai Showdown. I loved that game as a kid.

And as soon as PS+ puts this game up for purchase, I'm subscribing ASAP:
