Sony's "Official" Best 25 "Downloaded" PSP Games of 2009

Sony themselves have provided a list of the 25 top selling downloaded titles for the PSP in 2009. Big thanks to PlayStation LifeSTyle for the list! So straight from the horse's mouth, the best PSP "downloaded" games of 2009. Let's take a look, shall we?

* Gran Turismo PSP - The first game I purchased for my PSP GO. It's gorgeous, plays wonderful and is worth your money. Yeah, I know there is no "career mode". Screw it I say, it's still a phenomenal experience in the palm of your hand.

* Patapon 2 - Wonderful stuff. It's one of those games you can bug the hell out of Nintendo fanboys and girls out there by letting them play it. Then you can see the frustration in their eyes. Why the hell didn't Nintendo come up with this delicious franchise? Because they were too busy with Wii Music baby!

* God of War: Chains of Olympus - Originally released years ago on UMD. The game has sold threw the roof once again as a digital download. You must own this game. Especially, before God of War III is released.

* Guilty Gear Judgment - Don't own it and I've never played it. Obviously it's popular and I'm missing something special. *sniff*

* Killzone: Liberation - Yes. Awesome. Bad men go boom. A great expansion from a popular and hardcore shooter franchise from Sony themselves.

* WTF: work time fun - I love Warioware. WTF is Warioware for the PSP. That makes it awesome.

* Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars - An amazing Nintendo DS game brought to the PSP as "Director's Cut" edition with new content and gorgeous graphics. It's GTA baby, you probably already have it.

* Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters - Ratchet & Clank on the go with all it's wonderful 3D platforming and production values intact. Adorable stuff.

* Madden NFL 10 - Hell yeah! I know the iPhone edition is pretty sweet since I own it. The best is still on the PSP. Madden NFL 10 is awesome on the go football. Just thinking of it makes me wanna post this -



* Brain Challenge - It's Brain Age for the PSP and it's $4.99. Enjoy!

* SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 2 - I'm playing a little Modern Warefare 2 on my big, awesome PS3. On the go? It's this game baby! It includes a huge single campaign and online features. Great stuff!

* Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines - I love this game. It's sweet. The missions are short and it's a fun portable game.

* Ultimate Board Game Collection - Don't own it... Blargh!

* Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords - A very popular franchise that has hit the PSP. This which makes my wife very happy. Have fun!

* Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! - A very sweet title that you should check out. Try the enjoyable demo available on the PSN Store. I believe the title has dropped in price down to $9.99.

* DISSIDIA: Final Fantasy - Don't own it but I want to own it so bad. Argh! This game rocks! The demo was amazing. Everything about it is amazing! Thank you SquareEnix!

* Ultimate Ghosts N Goblins - Awww! Wonderful stuff here. Hard as hell but wonderful!

* Monster Hunter Freedom Unite - Sadly I've never played this franchise. I'd love to check it out but Phantasy Star Portable has my attention. I'm waiting for that digital download instead.

* Brave Story: New Traveler - Nope. Don't own it. Remains a mystery to me.

* PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe - Another "Director's Cut" of a kick ass game. New content and plenty more single player missions await your pleasure.

* Fate/Unlimited Codes - Nope.

* Prinny: Can I Really be the Hero? - A kick your ass, gorgeous looking, 2D platform modern classic that will bring wonderful memories of hard as nails Capcom games.

* Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories - Awesome!

* Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories - Double awesome!

* Untold Legends: The Warrior’s Code - Triple awesome! It's awesome to see this title sell so well and hopefully introduce new viewers to the original classic film.

There ya go! The best selling games for the PSP on the PSN Store. There are plenty of more for under 20 bucks a pop. Just listin' to my sweet podcast below.

Happy holidays and Happy New Year's!

District 9 PSP No Go In Canada... Yet!



On BLU-RAY/DVD Tuesday, I purchased the awesome District 9. It features an excellent collection of extras including a portable version of the film for the PSP. All pumped up for my on the go edition, I fearlessly wanted to load it up.

No Success. After several re-attempts, I contacted Sony via e-mail about the situation.

Several unsucessful later, the solution was discovered...

The Canadian codes for the PSP portable copy haven't been unlocked yet. That is until Tuesday, December 29th the original release date for the flick on Blu-Ray/DVD.

Mystery solved! I'll have to wait a little bit extra for my portable copy but I can't complain about the spectacular looking Blu-Ray release.

The Ever Dimensional Light... Fantastic



I've seen James Cameron's Avatar in 3D, twice already. I was blown away by the first viewing and absolutely enjoyed the experience even more the second time around. What a beautiful story, set in a world created from Cameron's imagination.

From the script to the effects to the actor's performances, everything is polished. Cameron is a master of his craft. The care in detail can be seen in every frame.

Some of the best compliments I can give...

First, it didn't need to be in 3D. The film is amazing and gorgeous on it's own. The story is epic and characters are wonderful. Seeing Pandora in 3D however, is breathtaking, awesome stuff. It's like the ultimate bonus to an already magnificent film. So the film is solid and it isn't a gimmick like the upcoming Piranha 3D.

Second, the 3D effect was seamless. I have a stigmatisim and when I saw Coraline in 3D, the effect worked 75% of the time. Coraline is a wonderful movie, I could care less that it's in 3D but again, it's like an added bonus. Avatar's 3D was 100% working all the time. My eyes never shifted out, nor did I feel exhausted.

Avatar is amazing. It's good, old fashioned storytelling in a phenominal, living and breathing world. You better check it out 3D before it's gone. Every mainstream, big budgeted Hollywood flick should be in 3D now. Crossing my fingers, hoping that the upcoming The Hobbit films will be done that way.

James Cameron's Avatar

This is an amazing featurette entitled "Planet Pandora". Like the awesome "Planet Earth" series, this video shows off the beauty of Avatar's featured planet. I can't wait to see this movie!

Major Sega News!

WOOT!

Hello folks. It's been a while since I updated ye'ole blog. I've been playing a little Assassin's Creed 2, The God of War Collection and Dragon Age. Plus, I've been playing a little online gaming with my buddies with GTA IV and Uncharted 2.

I've also cracked open my archive and been playing some SEGA classics. Sonic's Sega Genesis Collection and Sonic Unleashed have been working my PS3 favourably. On the PSP side I've been playing the killer puzzler CRUSH and the action packed Sonic Rivals. Plus, my Dreamcast has seen some action with Power Stone, Sonic Adventure and Shenmue. Dreamcast... Excellent! *guitar riff*

With all this Sega action going on, some great news has been announced. YAKUZA 3 is headed to North America exclusively for the PS3 in 2010. Holy crap!

So PlayStation owners aren't just getting that exclusive but the PSP is getting Valkyrie Chronicles 2, exclusive of course, in 2010 as well.

Hmmm... Time to bust out my DC again.
