That's the order; 2K9 is ahead of Live and '09 is behind both. The quick version is 2K9 is deeper and better for the hardcore player (5 on 5 online mode! bring the fun of ball hogs and people jacking up shots they have no business shooting home!) and Live is the easier one to pick up and play. '09 is a roster update, with few bugs fixed.
10/07: Fracture [metacritic] - repetitive mediocre first person shooter with some good ideas underneath.
Qore #5 {$3, $25 for annual subscription) - includes demo of Valkyrie Chronicle
Downloadable Games - Linger In Shadows {$3} - I have no idea what this is. I mean, I read the game developer hyping it, and I still have no idea what this is. I'm not sure they know either. They're calling it an interactive art exhibit.
- Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Car {$15} - look, a racing game on PS3! Hard.
- Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords {$15} - this was previously downloadable for just the PSP, but they've got it on the PS3's store too now. Hope that's a trend.
