It’s been quite awhile since Sony announced and released the PSP Go, this I am sure we can all agree. But how many buyers have been satsified?
Does the lack of UMD only entice previous none PSP users? Is 32 GB enough for a download only system?
There are so many questions above and so many left to answer about Sony’s PSP Go to address. To be honest, a main question that I would raise is that if Sony unveiled that Go a bit too early for consumers tastes.

When playing the newly released MoreGames iPhone game Knights Onrush one thing is pure and clear. Flinging enemy knights across the battlefield is easy as hell.
The game puts your fingers in control of defending a castle, which is on one side of the screen, while enemies come marching towards your abode in attempts to destroy your castle’s door to rush in and conquer. This is where your fingers come to the battleground.

Some time ago, I contacted Soma Games, a new developer in the portable market, about any titles they had in the queue for release. I previously covered their game G when it was little more than concept art and an idea.
Soma Games released G a little while back and I had a chance to test it out and see if the game matched the plans of the developers. Safe to say, it is an unexpected and awesome surprise considering the bulk of what is on the iTunes Apps Store.

At the heart of it all, Defender Chronicles for the iPhone plays out all tower defense. However, what publisher Chillingo’s game differs from traditional tower defense seems to take one from Puzzle Quest and throw in an role-playing element into the mix.
However, this element is simply a near-hit. But with the hand drawn art, tons of enemies, and vertical-style gameplay Defender Chronicles keeps you coming back for more slaying.
Oh, and you’ll get over the voice acting quickly, its absolutely ridiculous.

Wednesday at the Electronic Entertainment Expo was filled with appointments with various developers and publishers. I was able to see some titles behind closed doors, though a lot of them were demo only, meaning I wasn’t able to get a hands on feel for some of the titles.
It is looking like the rest of the year and early next year’s titles are looking solid, though finding out the amount of time between a lot of these titles (meaning now until release) is going to be a difficult one.

Sorry all you gameplay advocates out there: You happen to be dead wrong about the beast of a debate that is gameplay versus graphics.
I am here to save they day and set all wrongdoers on the path of righteousness a.k.a. graphics.
Granted, I may be on the small side of this argument, but that does not mean support is meager. In fact, there is overwhelming evidence for graphics, considering the fact they are constantly addressed in reviews and previews. Plus, graphical analysis articles of PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of a given game remain popular.
Graphics can make or break a new game on the market. Let us begin this argument of epic proportion. Read More »

If one has idle time atop the toilet, the idea that it should be spent doing something entertaining (and well, taking care of business) is not new.
But reading some crappy publication on the pot is a waste of time — reading is work, not entertainment. Instead, consider some of the many golden nuggets that are bathroom compatible.
Here are five portables that make the art of pooping fun!
