First game that's even made me consider getting a PSP...

Mercury

I was previously tempted because of Wipeout Pure, but it didn't seem to be quite enough to justify getting one, but Mercury just looks damn cool...

yeah but you can surf the net with wipeout pure

Post by **Doombrain** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 9:36 am

I'm still trying to work out what relevance Jugg's reply has...

Post by **+JuggerNaut+** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 9:48 am

Mercury looks great. then again, so does Wipeout Pure. relevance is that YOU CAN BROWSE THE NET WITH WIPEOUT'S HIDDEN BROWSER. that's a big bonus.

I don't really buy games to browse the web to be honest..
I buy games to PLAY THEM.
Or is this the only way you can browse the web using a PSP or something?

yes. so far.

Ah. Can't say I'm really that fussed about being able to surf the web on a PSP mind. Bonus, yeah, but my Zodiac already does that for me (well it will when my wireless card arrives...).

that mercury thing does look like it could be really good

Post by **Doombrain** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 10:41 am

yeah, the kind of game you play on the train

Really pretty and looks quite fun for a quick bash when you've not got hours, but addictive to hook you in for hours too. It's orobably no tetris but it'd be retarded to buy a PSP to wait for a version of tetris anyway.

looks fun i guess
im also curious about Luminous (or however you spell it). puzzle game by the same guy who made Rez

The last game I played on a train was Black and White :icon26:

That looks pretty cool. Love the innovation going on in there. These are the games I look for in a handheld console. Graphics look impressive as well and the physics on those mercury blobs look pretty realistic as well.

But alas, no PSP in Europe yet because they shipped Europe's shipment to the US because they expected a high demand. Now it seems that the demand is high, but now 50% of the units still remain in store (not a PSP bash, about twice as many PSP's were shipped as Nintendo DS's). Nice way to screw the European fans.

I read it's quite addictive.

What connection does the PSP use to get on the internet?

Post by **Doombrain** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 11:56 am

wi-fi?

yep, that was a poor move on Sony's part.

This isn't an rpg game.

Post by **+JuggerNaut+** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 7:58 pm

you're thick. i was referring to you kicking back at work. your supervisor(s) are sharp.

My supervisors do drugs.
