Complaining and praising… Whatever is required

Rachet & Clank PSN game is huge

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008 Posted in Games | No Comments »

And by huge I mean absolutely gigantic one million. The first of the Ratchet & Clank episodes is due out next week, at least in the States, and tips the scales at a massive 2.4Gb. That's just... massively enormous. For ...

Warhawk getting a decent update

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008 Posted in Games | No Comments »

I bought Warhawk. I played all of 2 hours, and haven't played since. Sure, it feels like a waste of money, and until now, it has been, but don't think that's because it's a bad game. It's mainly because it's ...

Playstation Home to start expanded Beta

Sunday, August 10th, 2008 Posted in Games | No Comments »

You may be aware that Playstation Home is entering an 'expanded closed beta' at the end of this month for the US, but what about the rest of us? Well, I can't be certain about Australia, but Edge is reporting ...

Downloadable titles and pricing structure

Thursday, August 7th, 2008 Posted in Games | No Comments »

Pricing of video games is a fairly contentious issue, particularly for us down under. In a country where $100 is the RRP for many video games, Xbox Live Arcade, Playstation Network, and WiiWare/Virtual Console titles seem like a pretty good ...

The Last Guy is coming soon… Yay!

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008 Posted in Games | No Comments »

I like the idea of The Last Guy, and I can't wait for it to come out. Sure, I think it's gonna be a bit thin and simple, but that's part of the charm. And ...

PixelJunk Eden & Grimm

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008 Posted in Games | No Comments »

Hey. Sorry I haven't been around for a day or two, but I have had a new puty to attend to and make my bitch, and I had a presentation to attend last night, so I've been a little lazy. ...

LittleBIGPlanet details

I don't want to go too much into it, because the post speaks for itself. And you should read the original post to give kudos to the writer. What am I on about? LittleBIGPlanet. It's an awesome game, and some ...

Sony Press Conference

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008 Posted in Games | No Comments »

Finally, the last of the press conferences. Sony's conference was about as long as Microsoft's (that is, too long), but it was full of hugely impressive games, and some minor announcements. Of the three, I found it to be the ...

The Last Guy: Best. Premise. Ever.

Friday, July 11th, 2008 Posted in Games | 1 Comment »

Wow. If there was ever a great idea for a PSN game (or XBLA or WiiWare, for that matter), it's this. Apparently, using locations from Google Earth, the point of this title is to guide a group of "survivors" through ...

PS3 update 2.41 available now in Oz

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008 Posted in Games | 1 Comment »

Update 2.40, which was released last week, caused a fair bit of controversy when a whole bunch of PS3 users complained that it 'bricked' their consoles. Not me, mine worked like a charm... But I won't discredit the fact that ...

PSN: Movement. Worth watching?

Sunday, July 6th, 2008 Posted in Movies/TV, Music | 2 Comments »

If you don't know what it is, you probably don't have a PS3, or it's not connected to the 'net. Movement is something that suddenly appeared on PSN (for me at least, I knew nothing about it until the advertisement ...

Pixeljunk Eden gameplay

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008 Posted in Games | No Comments »

I'd heard a lot about this game, so I thought I'd check it out. Many in the business are suggesting it's the best out of the three Pixeljunk games, and they think it's an innovative, fresh kind of game. Certainly ...

TV coming to PlayStation 3

Friday, June 27th, 2008 Posted in Gadgets, Games | No Comments »

I've been out of Oz for some time now, and as a result, I am not much of a TV watcher anymore. In Japan, I watched most of my favourite shows streaming online -- not the most legitimate of methods, ...
