OMFGGGG HEXIC 2, i cant wait for those times when i shut my eyes and all i can see is little hexagons after a long day of hexic 2, ohh also, track and field
button tapping fun. best tactic was the sock over two fingers, and rub like mad.

Hexic 2 concentrates more on the "Battle" side of things... I'd have to try a demo first!

Track and Field, again, do I want a game I just button-bash on? I'd have to try a demo first!

I developed RSI whilst playing Track and Field and trying to get all the World Records on my Arcade Cabinet.

Sock over two fingers is good but there is a better way. The base of a Kinder Surprise Egg is ideal for rubbing over the buttons to get the proper speeds.

I dont know how it will translate to the 360 pad, ideally you need an Arcade Stick for it.

Ooooooooh, some VERY interesting titles there.

I guess I'll only be buying one title off the Playstation Network then!

I want space giraffe and I want it now! The game looks absolutely amazing.

Other than that, there are a few others which sound quite good.

Yep, I have the PSP version and it's very solid.

I think it may get boring as a console game though. It fits a lot better on a portable.

I hope War World is like the MechAssault or old MechWarrior games, I'll definitely buy if it is and has online play.

Wow. Track and Field is great.

Well worth the £3.50 or whatever it costs.
