My First 24 Hours with the Playstation 3
Posted on 05:21 by Unknown
Just some quick bullet points on my first 'REAL' Playstation 3 experience. Note that, yes, I did borrow my friend's PS3 a few months ago, but I never really delved into it (didn't make a PSN account, didn't go through patching, etc). So here's some impressions of the PS3 from an Xbox 360 veteran:1. First time you start up is a bit different from the Xbox 360. Apparently Sony doesn't associate

Just Bought A Playstation 3
Posted on 07:01 by Unknown
Just bought a Playstation 3 this afternoon. I had a lot of trouble configuring it to fit in our household local computer network; it took a lot of effort to configure the local router to allow the Playstation 3 to access the Playstation Network and create an account. The process was much, much smoother with the Xbox 360; granted, I started with this generation on the Xbox 360 so I can imagine
An exercise in futility.
Posted on 05:15 by Unknown
These days there are a lot of topics calling out to ‘Save the PS3’ or ‘Save Sony’. While I won’t deny this blog leans heavily towards the XBOX 360, both me and my husband owned Playstation consoles before. We recognize the milestones that the Playstation brand has brought upon in gaming, particularly in helping eradicate the expensive cartridge based medium popularized by Nintendo in the 80s by

White Knight Chronicles Doesn't Go Over Well with Famitsu - 29/40
Posted on 00:24 by Unknown
Famitsu's reviews generally don't sit well with me; it has long been speculated that reviews in Famitsu are easily bought with advertising money. Final Fantasy XII comes to mind....Anyway, it surprised me to find out today that the Playstation 3's Great White Hope, "White Knight Chronicles" was flunked by Famitsu in their latest issue.White Knight Chronicles: 7/7/8/7--lots of optional content-

Sonic Unleashed Speedruns : Game Reviewers Don't Have This Level Of Skill
Posted on 23:31 by Unknown
Surfing online can find you some really great gameplay videos. Originally I recall finding videos of Guitar Hero / Rock Band songs being played on Expert difficulty, with players achieving high scores without missing a single note.On nicovideo.jp we found a couple of videos of Sonic Unleashed Speedruns. Apparently some Japanese gamers couldn't wait for the release of the game in Japan (where it
Sonic Unleashed: The Non-Reactionary Review (from an old Sonic fan)
Posted on 14:39 by Unknown
I really didn't think it was a good idea to buy this game, originally.At the time of the release of Sonic Unleashed, there was also Prince of Persia, and that game was already getting a lot of accolades and praise even before coming out to market.The upcoming Sonic Unleashed, on the other hand, was usually met by questions like "Since the last next-gen Sonic game was no good, how can this be any

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
Posted on 07:41 by Unknown
How could I be having such a good time with a game that's rated a 3.0/10 (or worse) in some review sites? Have I lost my mind? Or is it that gaming review sites have COMPLETELY lost touch with what their audience wants?Sonic Unleashed, perhaps....had it been released for a Sega console, or perhaps had Sega sent more freebies to reviewers, maybe it would have received the coveted "OSCAR AWARD

Sonic Unleashed: The Counterpoint
Posted on 18:10 by Unknown
I wrote this on Pinoyxbox in reaction to all the negative press this well-polished SEGA game is getting.******Based on what I've read, the low scores for Sonic Unleashed are because a lot of the critics don't want to play as the Werehog, they want to play as Sonic. But judging from what I've actually seen of the game, the Werehog sections aren't so bad. SEGA probably added those in to add variety

Posted on 05:57 by Unknown
The graphics in this game sure are mindblowing. And the sense of speed on Sonic is exhilirating!Tried the Werehog level and got owned by the first boss....that was hard! Then realized you could level up the Werehog, hmm, that might work....So far, seems like a good game. Impressions are early so take these as you will ^_^
