If you enjoy anything like Geometry wars, you'd probably love SuperStardustHD. The music and tech-y kind of feel to it is great, but I have a hard time recommending it as it doesn't have too much replay value outside of just trying to beat your highscore over and over. I'd go for one of the more meatier games like inFamous, LBP, or Wipeout, but SuperStardustHD is still a good choice to go with.mysecondlife said:
I can get Dead Nation and Wipeout since those are the only games I haven't played in that list. Even though I want Dead Nation more than Wipeout, I'm not complaining since it's free.
I actually never played inFamous. It was always on my "to buy" list, but a lot of things were placed above it in priority, and it just kinda phased out of my memory. I'm glad i actually get it for free, now. So, that and StarDust HD will be mine.
Also, i HIGHLY recommend Wipeout HD. I purchased it when it first came out, and it's probably the best thing i've bought from the PsN. Well worth full price, so getting it for free is awesome.
I was never that sad about the PsN downtime, considering i mainly use my xbox, but it is nice to know that i'll be spending a decent amount of time in the near future getting back to my sony roots (Ps2 fanboy for life).

Sony wants to win back your support following the recent PlayStation Network outage, and it's hoping free games and movies will do the trick.
The latest update to the official PlayStation blog details Sony's plan to offer gamers a mea culpa that it diplomatically dubs the "Welcome Back" program.
Key to this goodwill grab is a selection of free downloadable games on offer to PlayStation 3 and PSP owners. Sony explains:
All PlayStation Network customers can select two PS3 games from the following list. The games will be available for 30 days shortly after PlayStation Store is restored and can be kept forever.
Dead Nation
inFAMOUS
LittleBigPlanet
Super Stardust HD
Wipeout HD + Fury
For PSP owners, you will be eligible to download two PSP games from the following list. The games will be available for 30 days shortly after PlayStation Store is restored and can be kept forever.
LittleBigPlanet
ModNation Racers
Pursuit Force
Killzone Liberation
Additionally, the plan's offerings include free movie rentals, 30 days of free PSN Plus service and a number of free virtual items for Sony's PlayStation Home service. Different plans are available for gamers in Latin America [http://blog.eu.playstation.com/], but the core concept of "free stuff" remains the same across the globe.
So boys and girls, is this timely show of generosity enough to win back whatever PlayStation brand-loyalty you may have had before the nearly month-long PSN outage [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/109448-PSN-Down-Worldwide-Is-Anonymous-to-Blame], or was that time enough to drive you forever into the electronic embrace of Sony's competitors?

I'll take Super Stardust HD, Wipeout HD + Fury, LittleBigPlanet, and ModNation Racers. I never really left Sony. I just got to enjoy my Live subscription for a little bit in the PSN down time. Glad to have it up and running again, and I'm certainly glad to see that Sony is trying to make it up to its users.
I think this is an exceptionally generous gesture, especially considering that for the vast majority of PSN users the Playstation network was free in the first place (excluding PSN Plus of course).
I already got InFamous and LBP. I know I'm getting Super Stardust HD. What's better, Dead Nation, or Wipeout HD?
Wait... Do you get 2 free games for PS3 or 2 free games for PSP... OR do you get 2 free games for PS3 and 2 free games for PSP???????
I just bought,beat and sold inFamous like 2 weeks before PSN went down. I guess this'll give me a chance to finish the infamous side of the story since I found the game overall to be underwhelming. This is surprising though as many people including myself expected the free games to be shit games. Kudos Sony, kudos.
