A look at the latest batch of confirmed titles on the PS3/PSP for 2008 and early 2009.
Sony just issued a press release detailing the remaining confirmed PS3 and PSP releases for 2008 and early 2009. These are a mix of retail and PSN titles and a way to whet everyone's appetites and plan both your time and money budgets accordingly. Bear in mind this is in addition to all the other confirmed releases we know about.I know June, Fall...
A large if uninspiring update on the PSN...demos good, lack of original content bad!
Ok, yes, this is a huge update with demos and media and add-ons and such and that is great, but Sony just proved point #5 in my recent article: 5 things the PSN needs to address to stay relevant. They have only added the Rocketmen: It Came From Uranus (blech) expansion pack on the North American store as original content and it is a cross-platform...
Another chance to pretend to be an American Idol, minus the big contract and fun.
American Idol is a television show that just seems to get bigger and bigger every year. Each episode is supposedly gaining millions of votes more then the previous week after week. Once it's all said and done another "Pop Star" is born and the world is a better place, supposedly. So if it's so huge on television why not make a game about it? Heck...
Looking at The PlayStation Network service and how it needs to grow and evolve to take over the online industry.
Last week I took a look at the Xbox 360's Live service and went over the five items I felt that Microsoft needed to look at in order to stay relevant in the online service realm. Obviously when you start talking about consoles, people are passionate and there were a number of large comments with some great points. Now I am going to look at the...
Another enjoyable, yet not very deep game from EA Sports Big.
I'm a soccer fan, so theoretically, FIFA Street 3 should be something that's easy to talk about, as I'm probably supposed to have bought the first two games in the series already. Sadly, I don't have much time with the first two FIFA Street titles, but if they're anything like EA's other Street titles, then things probably started off good and got...
My initial impressions of the upcoming Lego Indiana Jones game via demo.
With all the hoopla surrounding the soon-to-be-released film Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, it's not exactly surprising that an Indiana Jones video game is on the horizon as well. However, unlike most video games that are based directly on whatever current movie it is hyping, Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures...
The potential is there for this to be great. It just never got realized.
Upon first glance at Samurai Warriors Katana, it looked like pretty much like Samurai Warriors on rails with outdated graphics and probably horrific waggle controls that would ruin the game from the get-go. In other words, for this fan of the franchise, expectations were pretty, pretty low.Katana did exceed those expectations, but not by great...
The Age of WiiWare begins. About time...
It's finally here. The counter has reached zero, and WiiWare is finally upon us as Nintendo gets some original games on their downloadable content service. Finally, something to be really, really, really excited about!But first, some Virtual Console news... which is that there's no Virtual Console news this week! It's all about WiiWare's launch,...
A whimsical and fun handheld adventure that is (so-far) the best game on the DS in 2008.
The DS is in a period of uncertainty. As the handheld becomes more bottled up with quick collections of mini-games and other games geared towards the casual gamer (Imagine Babiez, anyone?), it's becoming a little harder to find true quality games on the DS.Thankfully, Professor Layton and the Curious Village is one of those titles, with appeal to...
