Critter Crunch for PS3

I saw a sale on Amazon for a select few games that were 50% off at the PlayStation store.  Browsed a few and saw a puzzle game that was selling for a whopping $3.50 for the PS3.  Saw that there were a few decent reviews, and just bought it.  Got a download code, entered it into my PS3, and I got a new game.  Normally I don’t really like downloading games for the same reason I don’t buy eBooks.  When I buy it, I can’t resell it, so thus in my opinion I don’t really own it.  But, it was cheap.

The game is basically about this creature that needs to stop critters from climbing down a vine to get you.  As you kill these critters, they pop out these jewels which you eat.  Yes, I know it doesn’t make sense.  But, its pretty fun and I spent a few hours playing it that first weekend that I got it.  Even if I don’t ever play the game again, it would of cost me less than $1/hour.  So, in my opinion, it was well worth it.  The gf came over too and she had lots of fun playing it.  In the one player mode, you can play the storyline mode, you can play a puzzle mode, and you can play a challenge mode.  Lots of game for the dollar that’s for sure.  In the multi-player mode, you can play with or against each other.

The game is not something that will become a class or anything, but it was rather entertaining, and if you can play a video game with your gf, then that’s always a plus too.  I don’t think the game was as addicting to me as Tetris or Bust-A-Move were when they came out, but it got my playing for few hours, and I will continue doing so until I pass every level for sure.  After that, who knows.  Probably only when guests come over and we can play something rather simple.  The sale for the game is over now, I just checked, and so it now sells for $7.  Still not expensive, so if you like puzzle games, give it a shot.
