The new LBP dynamic theme is pretty cool
The LBP dynamic theme (which has sackboy running on a globe against a background whose lighting and contents change to reflect the time of day) is gorgeous. I wish I could be there when my... Played some Warhawk yesterday
Hadn't played in a couple months. The game is perfectly balanced and the community is still the best I have ever experienced. There is almost no smack talking (I say almost because during my... Looks like publishers have figured out gamers game all year round
Inbetween Red Faction 3, Infamous, Blazbue, the Sims 3, Fight Night Round 4 and Ghostbusters (just restricting myself to games on shelves) summer has felt a little like Christmas in that I have... More evidence that reputation is paramount
According to Kotaku, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand sold only 56K copies its first two months, while its lower quality predecessor, Bulletproof, sold 681K copies its first two months, a sales drop of... My brother's X360 just broke down for the 5th time
My brother was too ashamed to tell me, but I happened to be there when he got the empty box every X360 owner is familiar with in the mail yesterday. Its kind of funny because my brother was... Got rid of the X360
My X360 and its library paid off Disgaea 3, Littlebigplanet, Motorstorm Pacific Rim and part of Resistance 2. I am sure there are people without internet connections that are perfectly happy... My X360's $100 wireless adapter is dying. This might be the last straw.
Most of the time the light (which was always green in happier times) is red, though it sometimes turns green for a while if I plug and unplug the adapter enough times (the adapter briefly... Upgrading the PS3's HD is a headache
The first screw (the blue one) came out easy enough, but the others quickly stripped despite me using tiny screwdrivers (later I came across sites which recommended large screwdrivers, but the two... My X360 RRoDed on me
Kind of a pain, but according to my understanding of the extended warranty MS will repair or replace it for free, so I can't really get too upset (could be worse, my brother is on his fifth X360).... Impressions of Warhawk 1.3 and the PS Eye
Warhawk 1.3 is great. There are two new weapons, the biofield generator and the wrench. The wrench is a very effective tool/weapon that rapidly heals friendly vehicles and rapidly destroys enemy... Got a PS3 back yesterday
10 days after I shipped it. I don't think its the same system I shipped off (the controller is certainly new), though to tell the truth I haven't checked the serial number yet. It didn't take... My PS3 is heading to the shop
It isn't exactly dead, but it is severely messed up. Basically when doing certain things (playing PS3 games and browsing the PS Store) the system doesn't recognize some button presses and does... Thoughts on Motorstorm, the upcoming updates and hopes for MS2
Motorstorm is my definition of the ultimate arcade racer because it has elements of Burnout, Road Rash and Sega Rally, three of my favorite arcade racers. I have even come to enjoy the rubberband... Brief Impressions of the Beta of Home, Forza 2 and Afterburner 2
I saw the Home icon when I jumped onto Sony Online Sunday afternoon (oddly, there was no such icon at the time of the Thursday update).  I started background downloading, played a bit of Oblivion... Flow and VF5 are impressive
I just got VF5 today, but I made the mistake of downloading Flow during dinner, which immediately captivated my wife (also a VF fan) and oldest daughter.  VF5 is great stuff.  I haven't really... Romance of the Three Kingdoms 11 Impressions
The first thing I should mention is that it has an art style incredibly similar to that of Okami.  However, like all of the games in the series, one is playing from a pretty distant perspective so... Resistance at last!
I finally got Resistance in the mail.  I was initially underwhelmed, but once the game dialed up the intensity about an hour down the line, I was impressed.  The enemy's A.I. is really good, and... PS3 first impressions
I got my PS3 in the mail Friday.  Unfortunately it beat Resistance (which I ordered at the same time but which shipped separately), but that gave me time to download all the demos.  The demo... Why UMD failed as a movie format
I suspect UMD failed as a movie format simply because there isn't much of an audience for portable movies.  How many people spend 2 hours or more one public transportation on a regular basis?  I... The importance of reputation
Looking at the history of what has succeeded and what has failed, it seems to me that advertising's role is often overstated and that of reputation severely understated. Sales patterns indicate...
