Looks like PS3 is getting another HD bundle/re-release.

Crystal Dynamics confirm Tomb Raider Trilogy to PS3: includes Legends, Anniversary, Underworld.

Cool collection!

http://www.1up.com/news/tomb-raider-trilogy-bundle-ps3

Yeah, I saw that. Will actually have to pick that one up - kinda dug Legend, and never really got to play the other two.

That, and I'm a sucker for these Classics HD collections.

Started playing Alan Wake today.  Played the first two episodes.  Why has this game been getting a hard time by reviewers and gamers again?

Playing it personally, I realise how much I love and how much I'd really missed Remedy.  It's been too long since Max Payne 2... welcome back.  I love the guy's voice, just like I did in Max Payne, love the cheesy noir atmosphere.  Love the gameplay too.  It's a lot like RE4 but a lot faster and with more movement   Who here has played it?  I think ASK and archie ... am I forgetting anyone?  I know Leo dismissed it without trying it  crying

I am now really looking forward to Max Payne 3 ... and can't wait to play the rest of Alan Wake.  Hope it's a bit longer than MP & MP2

Fisished Jungle Beat today. Still need to unlock some levels, I already got a tripple crest in one level. If you collect 1000 bananas you get 3 crests. These crest are used for unlocking levels. The game gets more challenging when you go for 1000 bananas. Already saw a Galaxy like space level in the credits, can't wait to unlock it.

Also, remember how awesome Galaxy was when you discovered Mario could skate on ice? Yeah, DKJB did it first bitches!

After I beat this game, I will buy a new game. Country Return may be a possibility.

See how easy it is to solve you backlog? Beat one game and then start another.

1. How are you playing this? You don't own a 360?

2. Remedy are not making Max Payne 3 and it might not be out till 2012-13

I finished Jak 3 last night, that game is all over the place, one of the most frustrating but still awesome games I have ever played.

LEO! Super Meat Boy is apparently on Steam for like $3. I wonder if my computer can handle it. Also can I play it using a PS3 controller?

Yeah, I did play it earlier in the year. I think I went half way on it. It's not as good as it was hyped out to be, but it was still a great game. The graphics are some of the best on the system for sure.

I think Alan Wake is a fairly long game, but that's if you include the 2 DLCs. It's about a 10 hour run with it.

And Leo never touched it? Leo, did you sell it or do you still have it?

Definitely pick up DK Country Returns!

Golden Sun 3DS sounds cool! I still think it's ridiculous that Camelot called the first two games a prologue! Then what's the DS game, the intro?

How can they drag out such a uninspired and uninteresting story? Do they really think their Golden Sun story is compelling? They really don't know how to properly pace a story.

Just saw that Mario Sports Mix is coming out Feb. with Dragon Quest characters!

I didn't like Mario 3-on-3 for the DS. Square-Enix isn't the best choice to make sports games. But I may give Mario Sports Mix on the Wii a chance if it gets good reviews and since it has DQ characters.

Famitsu released the first review for Mario Sports Mix approximately a week before its launch in Japan. The game received an overall score of 30/40, with two reviewers giving it 7/10 and two giving it 8/10. One reviewer praised the title for its "simple and easy" controls, while also commenting that the characters' special moves were "pretty neat" and that the courts included in the game were "fun in their own way". However, concern was raised with the number of playable sports, with one reviewer commenting that "with only four sports included, some people might get bored pretty fast."
