I’m going to let our readers in on a little secret: trying to do these things in a reader-friendly manner is a pain in the ass.
I do two weekly wrap-ups: this one, and the Nintendo Wrap as well. Each one carries it’s own set of issues. The Sony piece usually gets done in a timely [...]
This hasn’t been a good week for Sony. First, the paid DLC from Heavy Rain wouldn’t work; they fixed that literally as I started typing this. Then, they had a bug come about in their older, “fat” model PS3 systems that makes the system think 2010 is a leap year, which rendered any game with [...]
Last week’s PSN update was dominated by one big name: Yakuza 3. The demo was good, though the fighting engine pissed me off some. Since then, there’s been a spot of bother about the game, with the word that Hostess Clubs, as well as a couple of other cultural items, were removed from the game. [...]
I consider myself a professional. I feel that I can get past whatever comes to me, get past it, and get my job done properly.
The Winter Olympics are one of the few times when I decide to hell with professionalism. They have hockey on literally all day! I just watched Canada beat the Swiss in [...]
I don’t really think I can lead this off with a “witty” lead-in this week. We all know what the big elephant in the room is. There’s no sense in beating around the bush: the Heavy Rain demo is the only PSN release this week that actually, truly matters. This is the first PSN update [...]
The past few weeks have been weak for the Playstation Store. For two straight weeks, we had weak updates with little content. Then last week, we had an update with a lot of content, most of which sucked (on that note, expect my Hustle Kings review sometime next week!). This week brings us a bunch [...]
I think after the past couple weeks, I got a little lazy. I got kinda used to not having to worry about writing a whole lot, because the last couple updates have been absolutely pants. As a writer on a tight deadline that also deals with Sony’s awful update schedule (which can basically be summed [...]
Looking back at my piece on last week’s Playstation Update, I came to a conclusion I don’t normally come to when it comes to my writing: I don’t think I was hard enough on Sony. I haven’t been paying attention to Playstation updates until recently due to the fact that I haven’t owned a system [...]
It’s strange that for someone that just bought a PS3 a few weeks ago, most of my gaming this past week – with the exception of trying the Matt Hazard demo – was based around two PSOne games: Suikoden, and Suikoden II. For the most part, my $350, 250GB monolith has served as an expensive [...]
Having bought my Playstation 3 on Boxing Day, I’m a bit new to the whole Playstation Store thing. Sure, I’ve dabbled in it via the Media Go software before, when I had to receive my review copy of Gran Turismo, but I can no longer access the store from that infernal piece of hardware now. [...]
