Playstation Network Wrap-Up for May 12th, 2010
It would have been foolhardy for people to expect another update as amazing as last week’s. No matter what your preferred genre is, there was something for you then unless you weren’t a PSP owner.

Playstation Network Wrap-Up for April 22nd, 2010
Normally, I judge these updates on the games that come out. If more good games come out than bad games, I give it a thumbs up, and vice versa. But one would notice that I almost never talk about auxiliary things like downloadable content or premium themes unless something is significant. My focus is more…

Creature Defense Genre: Tower Defense Developer: Hudson Entertainment Publisher: Hudson Entertainment Release Date: 11/04/2009 I enjoy a nice tower defense game every once in a while, but with access to the Internet, at the same time, it’s kind of spoiled me in regard to the genre.
