Curses! You Cute Little Thing!



Interactively Deadly Cute

This is one of those titles I can't believe I'm purchasing and yet after you watch this video, you'll understand why this might be a Holiday 2009 hit for Sony.



Now you see. Damn you cute little pet thing! I wants to play with you now!

It's In The Mail



I did myself a favor and purchased online, a Sports Illustrated subscription/Madden 10 bundle a few weeks ago. It includes a six month subscription to the popular magazine, a John Madden documentary DVD and the stellar sports title as well. I am pleased by my purchase, however I am sadly still awaiting for my game in the mail. *sniff* I hope it arrives before the big Raiders game on September 14th. In the meantime, I enjoy my magazines in all their printed glory.

Edge has a great article on "The Making Of: John Madden Football" for the beloved Sega Genesis. What a sweet trip down memory lane. Now where's my Madden 10 for the PS3. *sniff*

Rockstar Loves The PSP



Rockstar has created some of the best PSP games, period. Their original GTA titles are stellar and The Warriors was ported from the PS2 with perfection.

Next we have Beaterator, a music app hitting UMD and the Network Store September 29th. After that, the very impressive DS title GTA: Chinatown Wars hits the streets and online on October 20th.

I can't wait for both titles, especially Chinatown Wars. That was a great DS title and a beefed up PSP port would sure please.

A Look At The PlayStation Eye

The official Sony Blog updated with a great behind the scenes video hosted by Doc Richard Marks as he discusses the technology of the PS Eye. Awesome! Can't wait to play Tiger Woods 11 with the new motion controller!

It's Alive... ALIVE!!!!



Something strange happened last night during Sony's North American PS Store update. So crazy, that it's content didn't hit until around Noon today. Yikes! I was concerned that it might have been delayed until next Thursday, luckily that was not the case.

The two standouts for myself were the PS1 classics Tomb Raider II and Sim City 2000. Both are great stuff!

This Is Awesome!

Sure the PSPGo Rock Band Unplugged Lite situation leaves me feelin' a little sour, that doesn't mean I'm still not in love with Sony. I hope they jump start their rewards program soon, I'm sure they'll be sending me a whole bunch of awesome stuff from them. ;) I'm not kidding either.

Back to the love, their new marketing strategy for the PS3 price cut is awesome BTW. Great stuff! Enjoy.



Making Lite of It




The Official PlayStation Blog clarified the downloadable Rock Band Unplugged title, shipping with PSPGo's in North America. Titled, Rock Band Unplugged Lite, the game will feature 5 tracks of music(whoopee...) and have access to the network store so one can purchase additional music. Again, whoopee...

So let's see here. You live in Europe and run out to purchase a PSPGo on launch day. You register that puppy within 10 days and SHAZAAM! You get an online voucher to download the COMPLETE VERSION OF GRAN TURISMO FOR FREE. I'm not talking about the PlayStation 1 classic, nope you get the brand new, awesome GT game for free. In North America, we're getting an over exaggerated demo of Rock Band Unplugged.

Whoopee...
