Ah tax return time; Butt-loads of free money to spend at will. To ensure I’ve got the best game reviews for you, I just built a top of the line gaming pc, got a new HD camcorder, a studio microphone, and picked up a Nintendo DS and a Playstation 3, and with that, of course I had to pick up the game everyone and their mom’s been talking about, Sony Computer Entertainment’s Uncharted 2. If you haven’t heard of this game then likely, you’ve been living under a rock, and I’ve got to say I was blessed to have this be the first title that I got to play on my new system. I don’t know if I’d call it the best game I’ve ever played, but it is pretty damn good. Combining Indian Jones with Michael Bay, you’ve got one hell of an adventure ahead of you, so let’s check it out!
Last Saturday, John Diamonon of Capcom posted in his PlayStation blog that Capcom is hard at work to become the #1 digital publisher on the PlayStation Network. After seeing much success in 2008 (thanks to hits like Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix), Capcom and SCEA are forming a plan to make more downloadable content available through PSN in the future.
When the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 were released boasting hard drive capabilities, the prospect of custom soundtracks was definitely a plus. Microsoft ushered in the use of custom soundtracks with the Xbox and continued the trend with the 360. The PlayStation 3, however decided to introduce the custom soundtrack via their 2.40 firmware. But as time moves on, the question remains: are custom soundtracks still wanted?
When I’m not blogging for GotGame, I’m making a living by writing headlines. I try to have fun with them, but I also scrutinize them because they can mislead or overstate, even when you have the best intentions.
That was the case when Kotaku posted an entry titled “This Might Just Be the PlayStation Phone.” Although this headline isn’t innaccurate at face value, it implies something that is wholly uncertain. It might be a PlayStation phone. Or it might not be. At all.
Earlier this month, Sony introduced a new addition to the PlayStation Network: Qore.
The company describes it as a gaming-lifestyle program, packed with developer interviews, screenshots, downloads and other original content (and an easter egg here and there). It’s fully interactive, allowing the viewer to browse through the content any way you want, and it’s in glorious high definition, too.
The resurrection of the once-glorious action series Tenchu appears to be for real, thanks to the upcoming release of Tenchu 4 on the Wii.
The stealth action series had its innovative roots on the Playstation platform in the late ‘90s, but began to flounder not too long after developer Acquire, a master of ninja/samurai combat game play, was not asked to develop the sequels Tenchu: Return from Darkness and Tenchu Z, which tanked on the original Xbox and Xbox 360, respectively.
Now, with the return of Acquire, hopes are high for the new game in this forgotten series that helped define the modern stealth action genre, preceding even Metal Gear Solid.
