Why geta PSN card without knowing what you are going to use it for?

Anyhoo, if you like old-school RPGs then I'd go for the Final Fantasy games (FFVI being my favorite) or Vagrant Story.

In my opinion, the best game on PSN is Wipeout HD / Fury but if you are not into Futuristic Racers then it probably won't be your thing...

...or you could save it for Journey which hopefully will be out soon and whilst not exactly Action / Adventure, it looks like it could be an interesting game.

Yeah, would love a SSX HD collection...

...also Shadow Hearts as I never got around to playing the originals.

I'd also get a FF HD collection if it had trophy support - and Kingdom Hearts although I don't know if I have the patience to wade through KHII again.

I'd love to play Vice City and San Andreas in HD with trophies but probably not GTAIII.

Yup! Not as excited finding it's 70% online but it shouldn't be too bad if we all use Meth's friends thread.

Both games are an easy platinum, but require and second playthrough to get the platinum. Even so, you can get through both games quickly so you could prob rent and still get all the trophies.

If you are not bothered about the trophies then rent and play through once.

I probably will when I reach my friends limit but at the moment I can't be bothered.

I've got some friends who couldn't get their account back when their PS3 died so have created new accounts. I haven't bothered deleting the old accounts from my friends list even though I know they will never be used again and are currently showing that they last logged in 2 years ago.

I love the physics in GT5, especially how the handling evolves during the course of a race. The tyre wear can be very challenging later on in the game and the feeling of the weight shifting around in the car is very noticable. GT5 has a lot of very peculiar design choices which I hate but when you get to the actual racing it's a superb game.

I've tried Forza 3 on my son's Xbox and it was ok, I thought it felt a bit like Grid, good but not special. I took an R8 around Suzuka for about 20 laps and never felt I was feeling the limit of the car or any evolution of the handling.

I haven't tried Forza 4, I'll have to wait until my son gets it before I can give it a go, but based on my experience on Forza 3 after everyone was raving about it and the comments on here about the both, I just don't think Forza 4 is what I am looking for in a driving game.

That's not to say I think any of the Forza's are bad, they just don't have what I'm looking for in a driving game. Whenever I see the usual GT vs Forza arguments, they are generally about the graphics - personally, I don't care what the cars look like because my focus is on the next apex not the rear of my car or the trees! I have friends that rave about the livery editor on Forza but it's just something that I would not use and it took me ages to realise there wasn't a rewind feature on GT5 because it's not something I use.

Forza has a lot of fans so it obviously does a lot of things right, but just because there are some us out here that love GT5 doesn't mean we are fanboys (well not all of us anyway).

The lack of Brundle makes me sad.
