CORBIE'S GAME BLOG

It's worth noting that I was a huge fan of the PSP game Gripshift so I was quite excited to hear that an updated version of the game was coming to the Playstation 3 Store for download. For $9.99 you get 125 new levels and some pretty slicked up visuals to go along with it. The game looks amazing and even the control system has been tweaked to allow for better control over the vehicles. You'll still find all the puzzle-filled levels complete with wild tracks for you to complete in the set time limits. The sound effects and music in the game have also gotten a bit of a facelift and the whole package just reeks of quality. And the great news is you can get all of this for a fraction of what you'd pay for the PSP version. Whether you've played the PSP game or not, you owe it to yourself to give Gripshift a try. It's a nice release in what's been a fairly uninspired Playstation 3 game release schedule lately. If we could get more Playstation 3 store releases like this, the wait for more quality disc-based games woudn't seem quite so grueling. (RATING: 8.8/10)
