All of these games look brilliant and have got really solid previews.

Will be getting Bionic Commando for PS3 because of D-pad. I also read that it has extra features on PS3 but I'm not so sure about that.

Apart from Braid they will all be instant purchases. Braid looks really cool but I'd like to try it out first.

Don't forget Bionic Commando Rearmed is a different game to Bionic Commando :p Don't know about the PS3 version, but with the 360 version, you can unlock stuff in Rearmed to use in Bionic Commando :D AFAIK thats the first game to do stuff like that :cool:
 
You can do that in the marvel titles. For example you can unlock an ironman costume for hulk in incredible hulk if you've unlocked it in ironman or something like that. Still both Bionic Commando games are looking intriguing.
 
I've just had an email and it looks like we've been included.
