Game away

I believe I’m a bit late on this but if you’re interested in getting Fallout for free you can now do so on GOG.com. Give it a shot.

See, this is what science is all about. Taking serious subjects and treating them with the respect they deserv… wait, tsundere research?

It appears that Sony is offering PS Vita and PS3 owners some nice features on launch. I just hope this becomes a trend so that we can benefit from this in the future as well. Here’s the most important information that was released:

• “When you buy MotorStorm RC you will be able to play it on PS3 and PS Vita at no additional cost.
• When you buy Hustle Kings and/or Top Darts for PS Vita, you will get the PS3 versions for free. If you already own these games on PS3, you’ll be able to download the PS Vita version for free.
• If you purchase WipEout 2048 and you already own WipEout HD and the HD Fury DLC on PS3, you will be able to download them for free when they launch on PS Vita later this spring.
• DLC purchased for the PS3 version of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 can be used on the PS Vita version for free (and vice versa).”

Yep, I hope this becomes a common practice in the PS3<->PS Vita compatibility space. 

Now, I don’t like Origin overall but if there’s anything that would make a PC player with a 360/PS3 as well purchase the PC version instead of the 360/PS3 version then this is it. You get Battlefield 3 for free..? I guess they really want to make sure Battlefield 4 becomes a big hit.

You know how I was speaking of Interexperience, or an experience different from a “game”? This is an excellent example of such interactive software, what I really want is for the term “game” to be a part of something bigger. The digital platform we have has so much potential, but only a fraction of it is actually used for what it could be.

I’ve also been thinking that the casual gaming industry could have a positive impact in this aspect… more on that another time.

Ooh, this sounds like a sweet dream come true. Well, skip the sweet but it’s damn awesome. I hope they make the most of the very colorful and horrific characters!
