Considering buying Plants v Zombies now.

What is the replay value like? Will I get bored after one playthrough?

Me & the missus must have played through it a dozen times, and the endless modes have massive replay value..

One of the best value games I've bought, £/hours wise!

Have now bought it.

Remembered I had £8 lurking on my Stan James account so withdrew and bought.

Peggle is brilliant
Portal
Psychonauts is very funny

Basically look in Steam under the letter 'P' . . .

Beyond Good & Evil is brilliant and well worth playing!
Trackmanion Forever is again superb and will keep you entertained for hours!

Heard a lot about Psychonauts but have never seen any screenies or vids of it in action.

Off to Youtube!

Haha, just got images of someone from your family sitting down to the PS3 and putting on something from the Orange box and saying "WTF IS THIS &*(& !!!" and throwing down the controller.

But yeah, I've heard that most steam games don't really port well to console. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside as a PC gamer, that console players are the ones that get jipped over on the rare occasion

There was a little bit of lag now and again when playing TF2 on PS3 but it made me buy it on PC. Portal on PS3 was fine. The HL games, I could take or leave.

It won't do it justice. Sadly, Psychonauts is a brilliant and funny story wrapped in a fairly average platforming game. If you're willing to put up with the platformer elements - for example, I wouldn't bother trying to collect 100% of the tokens, just jump straight through the levels and explore some of the side areas - you will find intelligent, emotional and funny storylines that weave together to make up the human psyche. It takes time to get into it, but once you've experienced it you will look back in amazement.

Monkey Island 1 Special Edition.
