Title: P.O.W. Prisoner of War (mini) releases today after years of overwhelming demand

Break out of prison!

(http://i.imgur.com/9DMkB.jpg)

Start punching dudes!

There's usually more than one enemy on the screen and there are weapons and you beat up a fat dude at some point and then I think you steal a recipe for awesome banh-mi sandwiches, bring it back to the U.S., adjust the recipe for American tastes, and start the very first Subway sandwich shop.

It's up on the PSN store, but I'm waiting for the full update because i think it's supposed to be discounted for us PSN+ suckers. UPDATE: yes, a whopping $.60 discount from $2.99 to $2.39. Feel the value. Playstation Plus™ only on Playstation Network Live ®

Please, do not post spoilers in this thread. Use the separate "P.O.W. Prisoners of War Story Discussion/Analysis" thread.

Post by: Don Flamenco on December 24, 2011, 10:01:11 PM: i feel dumb for having done that because there is absolutely zero way to get consistently good at this game :lol there are cheap arcade games, then there are the ones truly balanced to never allow you to beat it without credit pumping.

There are plenty of arcade games that were designed solely as a coin grave, but that's mostly a problem with western/world versions of games because credit feeding is more prevalent outside of Japan.

Post by: Don Flamenco on December 24, 2011, 10:21:50 PM: I was even gonna put a disclaimer in there like "besides jump kicking the whole way" :lol

Post by: Momo on December 25, 2011, 06:37:03 AM: Oh man, there'd be guys jump kicking all the time and I'd mock them for being pussies :lol

Then I'd play and start coin pumping, they were right :(

Post by: Sho Nuff on December 25, 2011, 04:17:46 PM: I don't know how many of you are serious martial artists who have escaped from behind bars but jump kicking is a totally legitimate approach, just ask Master Park of Oom Yung Do. He is the strongest man alive and his dojo is located between Seattle Frogurt and the Verizon Store. I am a purple belt with stripe and Master Park says my roundhouse kicks are deadly.

Man I used to be so good at trolling martial arts nerds on NeoGAF, I miss those days
