Everyday Shooter Hits PSN On Thursday 39
The title Everyday Shooter isn't just special because it's a pretty good game, blending Geometry Wars-like gameplay with great music. It's also the winner of numerous accolades from last year's Independent Games Festival, and as of this week it will be headlining on the PlayStation Store. "The $10 game may be coming into a market clogged with dual-analog shooters, but I don't think it will have a hard time fitting in. 'Some days I would spend all day tweaking a level, sleep for a few hours, and then go back and tweak some more,' Mak told me at E3. 'The challenges I faced in this game were creative, not technical.' The sense that someone slaved over this across many, many sleepless nights comes through pretty clearly. This is one to watch, and keep the name Jonathan Mak in your head. I doubt this will be the last thing we see from him." For more on the background of this unique title Gamasutra interviewed Mak, the game's sole creator, prior to the IGF last year.

If there is a large and diverse catalogue of on-loine games to keep me interested, along with a few disk-only titles, then the lower cost of the on-line titles means I'll either:
a) spend the same exact amount of money on more games
b) spend less money overall on games (since the on-line titles are "cheaper", in the bargain-bin range usually)
Heck, for the consumer, if they end up following choice "b", they might even spend LESS over the life of the system despite the initial greater cost for the unit (not saying thats going to happen, just pointing it out as a possibility).
As for "hotel" coming to the PS3
Will there be a demo? (Score:3, Insightful)
