Pain hits this Thursday guys on PSN.
This is one of the PSN downloadable titles I'm kinda excited about. I wish there was abit more of a robust multiplayer mode, but still this game looks like tons of fun.

About wrote:PAIN™ boldly tackles a rarely explored area of video-gaming… comedy. The unique mechanic of the game allows the player to load a character into a human-sized, ultra-powerful slingshot, and fire the character into an active, physics-controlled environment, filled with precarious and humorous situations. Players receive points by stringing together painful collisions and inducing chaos in the environment.
KEY FEATURES
Multiple playable characters each with a very unique personality and attributes as well as character specific in-flight poses.
Plenty of ways to play in both Single and Multiplayer, including modes like Spank the Monkey, Mime Toss, PAIN Bowling, Fun With Explosives, and even more to come in future releases.
Relive every cringe-worthy smash and crash with the replay system in PAINâ„¢. Use the free camera to get the best angle on your best ouchies.
Unique physics model created on Havok powered events, allow for amazing ragdoll animations, while ensuring that duplicating incidents is almost impossible. Keeping gameplay fresh over and over no matter how many times a player is launched into the same environment.
Robust online community feature set lets you compete with other players around the world on Global Leaderboards, track your friend's scores, and connect to the upcoming PAINâ„¢ website, where you can participate in polls, get developer updates, and provide feedback to make for a more PAINful experience in future expansions.

Sure, I tell people that it’s a crazy game in which you launch a character from a giant slingshot into a downtown area and smash him into stuff and blow stuff up and you snatch Mimes out of the air so you can slam them through plate glass windows and you blast monkeys out the side of a building in an attempt to stop another player’s character from successfully crashing into bowling pins and you can play as a dude named Ed in a cow suit and so on and so on…

Sounds a lot like that JFK assassination simulator.
Warning: My roommate had a seizure while we we're playing this game. I'm not saying that there is any kind of causal relationship here, I'm just saying that one minute I'm enjoying a beer and a new vid, and the next I'm sitting in the ER until 3 in the morning. No kidding.
I was playing through the tutorial and got to the part where you have to perform a "Super Ooch". I can't figure out how to do it. It says once you hit something to shake the controller until the Ooch meter catches on fire. Yeah.... that doesn't seem to work for me. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Lareden: If you've played Resistance, the motion is exactly the same as the one used to shake off fire/tags/etc in that game. A vertical, one-inch, reciprocating motion works well for me. (Probably because I've got plenty of practice at it :winky:)
Hopefully I can help. I spent a good 10+ minutes last night shaking my controller like it was going out of style to perform a "Super Ooch." I had no idea what was going on, especially since everyone I ran into said it was easy to perform.
Then I thought about my Rock Band guitar USB dongle, and had a moment of inspiration. I removed the dongle, then went into the PS3 in-game menu (hit the PS button on the controller) and chose the "Turn off Controller option" and went back to the game.
At this point the game will say, "Please reattach controller 1" (or something) and you can hit the PS button on the controller again.
After that, I could do a Super Ooch within 10 seconds of trying.
Do you have Rock Band? I'd be curious if that's the commonality with people experiencing this problem. If not, maybe it's just the act of turning the controller on and off while playing the game.
First I'll try that 1" vertical motion Lord Yod mentioned. I don't have RFOM, shooters are pretty much reserved for the PC in my mind.
I must have tried doing that thing for 30 min. When I got home this afternoon I tried various techniques to no avail. Then I unplugged everything from the USB ports, restarted Pain, and voila!
I wish alot of PSN downloadable games had more demo's. It's one thing I really like about XBLA.
On an unrelated note, I see that a new map pack for RFOM is out, so I had to grab that too.
I really enjoyed what little I did so far. Played through the tutorial, which then "unlocked" the single and multiplayer games. Tell you what this game really reminds me of: the Crash modes in the Burnout game series, where you're trying to put your car at just the right place at the right speed at the right time to cause maximum damage. Substitute a human for the car and you've got the right idea.
I had a bit of fun with it... theres definitely plenty to do... I laughed out loud a few times especially when I launched cookie into the sewer taking out an old lady and getting creamed by the train TF2 style. I also downloaded Castlevania SOTN and played that the remainder of the evening.
Heartless Bastard!
And nothing is better than knocking out that guy in the horse suit... I get that out of the way first.
Bowling is multiplayer only.
Is there only the one city or are there more locations?
Definitely looking at buying this at xmas.
Also, is PSN "PlayStation Network" or "PlayStatioN"?

Also, this looks fun. But I don't have a credit card to register with the PS Store, and my dad won't let me use his, so yah, I'm SOL.
