I have always heard that TWEWY is good, but I don't know anything about it other than Tokyo and...pins?
Picross 3D is a sure bet considering how much I loved Picross 2D
Rune Factory 2 is the only one I'm iffy on. It's basically Harvest Moon Diablo right? And there's no reason to play the first one first?
Picross 3D is a totally different game than 2D. Still a fun puzzle game, but be aware that the name 'Picross' is basically the only thing the two games have in common.
Really? I can't imagine any translation of Picross from 2D to 3D looking that much different from Picross 3D. The only substantial difference I see is that 3D doesn't give you all the numbers, so you have to figure out the puzzles based on whatever clues the author gives you.
Other than that... you have to figure out designs based on numbers telling you how many blocks are represented in each row. It seems like Picross to me, and uses pretty much the same skills. What's else is so different?
Doesn't give you numbers for all rows or columns. Doesn't tell you what pattern the blocks are in, just whether they are in 1/2/3+ groups. There's no "free mode" where it doesn't tell you when you made an error, presumably because undoing errors would have been impossible to do properly in the 3D space.
It's still a vastly enjoyable puzzle game.

It's very, very hard for me to take those differences and say that it has nothing in common with Picross besides the name, which strikes me as one of the more wildly batshit crazy things I've read on this forum. If someone handed me the game with the title removed, there wouldn't really be any question in my mind that I was playing an implementation of Picross in 3 dimensions.
Also keep in mind that you get $60-$80 worth of free games out of this as well as a code for Little Big Planet, Socom 3, and Ratchet & Clank is e-mailed to you after purchase.

I'm very tempted to do this for a gift. I have a relative that doesn't do much gaming, but plays a lot of various Harvest Moons on an old PSP. Her eyesight isn't all that good anymore, so she'd get some use out of being able to plug it into a television, while I could make off with those codes.

Demon's Soul worth $25? Is the soundtrack really good? I really know nothing about the game, but action RPG sounds exciting. Sounds like a faster paced Dragon Age actually, except with one character rather than a squad. How far off am I?

Demon's Soul worth $25? Is the soundtrack really good? I really know nothing about the game, but action RPG sounds exciting. Sounds like a faster paced Dragon Age actually, except with one character rather than a squad. How far off am I?
Demon's Souls is immensely worth it, get it now while the servers are still up because multiplayer stuff is integrated into the entire game and it's half the fun. Mind you it is one of the hardest games you will ever play, it will chew you up and spit you out, but you will know and understand that the game is still quality.
Let me tell you about Demon's Souls.
Demon’s Souls is a game that will make you into a man. A scrawny fourteen-year-old, after two hours with this game, will be grooming his muttonchops and ready to ship off on the next boat to fight the Kaiser. If you are already a man, it will make you into some sort of bizarre double-man. What’s that you say? You’re a woman? You don’t want to be a man? Too bad. Too bad. That’s the Demon’s Souls way.
You’ve probably heard that Demon’s Souls is hard. Pshh. Lots of games are hard. Some are even harder than this one. The difficulty is not the point. What sets Demon's Souls apart is the way that it doesn't just kill you, but also stomps on your genitals when you’re down. And it will make you realize that that’s what you needed all along.
It’s a lot like life. Sometimes in life you win, and sometimes the giant armored skeleton stabs your face off because the flying mantis monster you didn’t even see shot you in the back with a spike at just the wrong time. And when that happens in life, do you respawn at the same spot and carry on like nothing happened? NO, asshole. You go back to the beginning of the level, leaving all your hard-earned souls out there on the pavement, and you fight your way back. And you learn a lesson from the whole thing, because you should have been wearing your Thief’s Ring, now shouldn’t you? That’s life.
The trend in hard games these days is to unlock “Easy” mode for you once you’ve died enough times. Do you think Demon’s Souls does that? Do you think Demon’s Souls is so much as aware of the concept of “Easy” mode? NO IT IS NOT. If Demon’s Souls even knew we were talking about “Easy” mode, it would come over here and kick the shit out of all of us. And we would deserve it.
I’ll tell you what happens in Demon’s Souls when you die. You come back as a ghost with your health capped at half. And when you keep on dying, the alignment of the world turns black and the enemies get harder. That’s right, when you fail in this game, it gets harder. Why? Because fuck you is why.
Have I told you about the online elements? At any time when you’re in Body form, another player from anywhere else in the world can invade your game and murder you to regain his own body, or just to keep you on your toes. This happens when you’re in the middle of fighting armies of unthinkable monsters that are probably already three-quarters of the way towards killing you. And no, you cannot opt out of this feature! This is what you signed up for when you agreed to be a man.
When this happened to me -- when a guy strolled into my game like it was Taco Bell and exploded my torso, costing me my body and all my progress in the level -- was I mad? No, because I was too busy being in awe at how fucking hardcore the experience was.
Now, don’t let this dissuade you. Demon’s Souls is a pitiless master, but let it never be said that it is not fair. The game rewards handsomely those who stand up to it, and the greater the challenge, the greater the glory.

Oh, gosh, yes, it is.
The_Spaniard's post captures the essence perfectly.

If you have a PSP, you should check out the "PSP Favorites" section of the PSN store. They've got a bunch of games for $9.99... a few of my personal favs being LocoRoco 2 and Patapon 2. Full disclosure, I work at a communications company that's affiliated with Sony, but hopefully that points everyone to some good deals.
Also they updated the client and it appears to be less awful now.
Buying Fallout 3 mods was a nightmare, but this seems to be going smoothly.
If this is less awful, I don't think I could even imagine what unspeakable horrors it was before. Thank god it started with "A" otherwise, I doubt it'd be worth it to wade through the list to find it

Before, they managed to code it so that the clickable areas of buttons didn't really correspond to the visible buttons. So you just kind of had to click down and to the left of whatever you wanted to press.
EDIT: InFamous for $15 is the only thing that interests me, other than the 360 messenger kit for $20 (I like that style of headset, and the foam ear cover just died for me the other day).
