I’ve had my Sony PlayStation 3 for a couple of weeks now. While I cannot say that I wish I had never gotten it, I can say that I am currently disappointed with this system.
It really doesn’t matter what message board or forum you visit, you’ll find people comparing the PS3 and the Xbox 360. And there will always be someone asking which is better. My response was always the same, “it depends on what you want it for.” (more…)
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune was one of the first two game that I purchased last week after getting my Sony PlayStation 3. Yeah, if you missed it I know own a PS3. 
Prior to my purchase, I hadn’t heard or read anything about the game… or just about any other PS3 game for that matter. But the package looked cool, and Sony was pushing it with a PS3 bundle, so I figured I’d give it a shot. I was actually quite pleased with the game which I finished earlier today.
It’s kind of a cross between Tomb Raider and Prince of Persia (what can I say, I like those types of games). You’ll spend a bit of time hanging from ledges, swinging from ropes, and jumping off of cliffs. And when you aren’t doing that, the rest of the time is spent dodging gun fire. I swear, by the time I finished, I thought I had taken on a small country.
Story wise the game may remind you a bit of National Treasure or Indiana Jones, though towards the end of the game it takes a swerve that resembles Return to Castle Wolfenstein more than anything. Definitely worth getting if you are looking for a good adventure game on the PS3. Yes, it is a PS3 exclusive.
Christmas has come early… Thanks to my mother-in-law, I know own a Sony PlayStation 3. And because a PS3 just wouldn’t be much use without some games, I also picked up Metal Gear Solid 4 and Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.
No, I haven’t picked up any Blu-Ray movies yet. While I will probably start picking up things on the format now, I’m not in a rush at the moment, considering I don’t have an HDTV. Though, Christmas isn’t over with yet, so who knows what will happen. 
Right now the system is in the process of updating the system software. Which means, it’ll actually be tomorrow before I get a chance to actually play either of my games. Work sucks. 
Feel free to add me on the PlayStation Network. As you might expect, my name will be “d3bruts1d”.
Sony has released the 2.0 firmware for US PSP users. This version is for the PSP-1001 K model, only.
In related news, the 2.0 firmware has already been decrypted. Homebrew for PSP v2.0 coming soon! :p
Sony has announced that the PlayStation Portable (which kicks ass) will be getting an update soon that will add a web browser as well as the ability to download video in the MPEG4 AVC format.
Apparently Sony will also be launching a portal site for the PSP called SoNet. Users will be able to download TV Shows, Movies, and more from the new services which is expected to come out about the time of the updated PSP firmware.
Sony has also stated that a white version of the PSP will be available soon. I wonder if they’ll be following the Nintendo path and releasing the PSP in a number of colors. I can just hear the wife now asking for a Pink PSP.
For the most part, I’ve never been a big fan of most games on handheld devices. If I’m going to play a sports game, it’ll most likely be on a console not a handheld. I can live with RPG games on a handheld, but most of the time I’ll prefer those on a PC.
Puzzle games? Well, now that is a completely different story. I think puzzle games are the best thing you could have on a handheld, especially a Sony PSP. Thursday, I decided I’d pick up Lumines
Sunday, I picked up Mercury
Both games are good, but for anyone trying to decide which one to get, I’d go with Mercury.
I’m sure everyone knows that people have hacked the Sony PSP to allow people to play games and run other applications off of memory sticks.
Even the “security update” released in May has been hacked. Anyway, C|Net News seams to think this is something new. :p
There was one interesting quote in the article that said future PSP games will require that the PSP run updated firmware.
Looks like Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex will be coming out for the Sony PSP. Which also reminds me, I wanted to get the game for the PS2 and I also don’t have the rest of the DVD set.
According to Modojo.com it should be out this summer.
Information has come out about Sony’s next generation console, the Playstation 3. Looks pretty nice to me, though I’m not crazy about having wireless/bluetooth controllers.
Anyway, there are a number of sites with the information as well as images, so I’ll just link you to Google News. You can pick your on article. :p
Start of a new week, which also means time for a new poll at OCC. Since there are a number of PSP related topics in the console gaming forum, I thought I’d find out who really has a PSP, or at least has plans on getting one.
“Do You Have A Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)?” is this weeks poll.
I plan on picking one up this week if everything goes well.
