Something that First Play has been doing for the past few weeks is giving First Play downloaders a new PSP mini to download for free each week.
This week’s episode gave me an early download for the demo of the console version of the new American Football game Backbreaker as well as an exclusive PS3 Red Dead Redemption XMB theme. For me, it isn’t just the sheer awesomeness of First Play that keeps me subscribed to it, it’s also the freebies that they provide more or less every week. Many of my PS3 owning friends ask me ‘Jasmine, why do you download First Play?’ And so I reply ‘because the quality of the content is amazing, they have amazing footage of games and it’s entertaining too’, sometimes I tell them to read this. We can’t all be hardcore gamers with month’s of play-time on our CVs, so now I’ve devoted an entire day to less obsessed gamers!
This post is part of the Casual Friday post series when every Friday for the next few months will be ‘Casual Friday’ where I will post some sort of blog post about casual gaming. You can get the game and scream TOUCHDOWN! until the cows come home because it’s on the Apple app store for just 59p.Ĭlick ‘ Read More’to see the rest of the games in the line-up In challenge mode (pictured), you have to use fancy footwork, including dukes, spins and good ol’-fashioned sprinting to dodge past the AI opponents to reach the end-zone. The game allows you to create your own character (I called mine Reggie after the New Orleans’ Saints QB) as well as customising their snazzy football get-ups. When you hear about most casual games, it’s usually on Twitter or through friends as there aren’t many reviews – today I’ve provided a little summary of the 5 games that you need to get for your PSP or iPod Touch/iPhoneīackbreaker is a fast-paced American football sim that will have you cursing at the touch-screen like an angry soldier on a bad day. I haven’t posted anything for the ‘ Casual Friday‘ post series in a while now, but just in case you were missing the casual gaming awesomeness usually associated with the start of your weekend, I’ve created an extra post just for you!
We're proud to have achieved over a million downloads in less than a year and with new developers coming on board every day, bringing with them incredibly fun and creative games, we look forward to establishing minis as a fans favourite amongst the PlayStation community.What do you think of the font? Snazzy, huh? minis offers a huge variety of snackable gaming experiences, be it games from smaller developers, with small budgets to more established developers, with established IPs that are easily accessible and great value for money. We're always looking for exciting and unique content to offer our audiences and minis offer exactly that. SCEE VP Zeno Colaço is looking on the bright side: As Pocket Gamer point out though, these figures mean only 1.7% of PSP owners have downloaded a mini game. Small beer compared to the 5 billion apps (obviously games are only a percentage of these) downloaded on iTunes perhaps, but proof that demand is there for these kind of lighter (and cheaper) gaming experiences. These bite-sized and low price games, available for PSP and PS3 via the PSN service, have now been downloaded over 1 million times worldwide.
With the arrival and subsequent rapid growth in the app market – think iTunes, Android marketplace and the rest – you could be forgiven for forgetting about Minis.
