If I’m not writing things here, maybe I can use it to link to long-ish stuff I write elsewhere? Over on the-W, I wrote a post about the PS3 kart game I’ve been playing a lot lately. Game is good, post is eh. The one thing I forgot, but is true of all almost games [...]
Sony apologizes for “some people” not being able to get on Home. In this case, some people would be “everyone who didn’t hit X to refresh every 15 seconds for a few hours.” Just like every other case of opening an online service from a few to all, Sony was unable to serve all who [...]
PS3 Releases for 10/20, with newer later date than usual. You know, I’d actually buy Monopoly – if it was a $5-10 PSN download and enough other people got it as well. The board game is $13 at Toys R Us; that must be some great HD graphics to be three times the cost. I [...]
I played the demo. It gave me a little bit to write about. Little Big Planet, originally scheduled to release 10/21 in the US and now pushed back a week until 10/28, is going to be Playstation3′s game of the year. There are other games that have been and will be very positively reviewed, but [...]
I’m not posting these over here any more, because I just don’t have a good reason, but I still can link to the rundown. Highlights: scary game effective scary, thugging game effectively thugging. FIFA ’09 being great may cause the PS3 market share to dramatically increase (by 1 console!) If Sony is only going to [...]
on the shelves 09/08: NHL 2K9 [metacritic] 09/09: NHL 09 [metacrtic] Let’s make it easy – there’s not a review out there that puts 2K ahead of EA. EA gets copy like “the best hockey videogame ever produced.” (1UP) and “it’s one of the best sports games to be released in the last decade.” (IGN) [...]
on the shelves 08/26: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 [metacrtic] – a tinkering update rather than any new big features. The big emphasis is on helping you improve by giving more feedback about your swing and post-round advice from Tiger’s swing coach. 08/26: Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice [metacrtic] – strategy RPG game that’s made [...]
on the shelves nothing! in the store Downloadable Games Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty [metacritic] {$15} – They missed on either the price or the length; it feels like a bonus level for Tools of Destruction, but maybe not enough to justify the price. (I’m only about 45 minutes, maybe I’ll change my [...]
on the shelves 08/12: Madden NFL 09 and (20th Anniversary Edition) [metacritic] – I swear, it’s an actual improvement on the game. It’s definitely a step above the previous PS3 versions, especially in game presentation. There’s online leagues, though they’ don’t yet fulfill the promise of taking franchise mode online. It’s amusing multiple reviews note [...]
on the shelves 08/07: Monster Madness: Grave Danger (metacritic) – port of the 360 title, with new features (and a new subtitle) but nothing that actually fixes some of the game playing problems of the first game, and the visuals are really bad. in the store Qore #3 ($3, or $25 for a yearly subscription) [...]
