It’s kind of hard to post Calling All Cars multiplayer impressions when no one is online to play the game. I checked the lobby multiple times last night from 7PM to around 1AM and only once did I find another game brewing. So I got in one five minute game, which is not enough for [...]

George Brett is my all time favorite baseball player. Ever. Period. End of story. I grew up playing 3B in little league, and it was natural that I had to pick between Brett, Mike Schmidt, and (as a Braves fan) Bob Horner. The choice was easy for me. Not sure why, but I gravitated towards [...]

The Braves may have beaten the Marlines 9-4 last night, but at what cost? Chipper Jones and Tim Hudson both left the game due to injuries   Will Chipper have to park his NL leading .369 average? Jones, the major league’s batting leader at .369, was hurt running out a grounder in the fourth inning [...]

I just noticed that Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm was available on the PlayStation store. I am shocked that it did not happen sooner.  A couple of weeks ago I said “In other news Qore episode 2 Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm is still exclusive to Qore. Over/under is the Qore episode 3 release. I doubt I [...]

Virtual goodness.

No comments

My kids think it is funny that I put a parental control pin lock on their Wii, but there is no way I could leave them to their own devices with Nintendo’s online store. Until last weekend I had not taken advantage of any of the virtual console games, but as a reward for the [...]

I have been participating in a fun discussion over at the digitalsportsgame.com. If you want to read some intelligent, diverse discussion on the game, check out this thread. Whats more delicious? Tori Praver or NCAA Football 09? – © SI.com I am biased, but I think my last comments in the thread (check out page [...]

PSP gets sarcastic …

No comments

One of writers for sarcasticgamer.com just picked up a PSP How about some Loco Roco? “So, even before you get any games for the system, the PSP gives you a lot to do with your media. When I got home, I immediately started filling my memory stick with all kinds of goodies. Buying the system [...]

Is E3 irrelevant?

No comments

When E3 was in Atlanta (1998 ish), I had a great time walking the show floor, trying the demos, getting free beer from Sony, picking up all the free crap, and then some. All for free as a member of the gaming press. Those days are long gone. gamesindustry.biz makes a case that something has [...]

We know that Sony has lost exclusive titles left and right. Why? There has been lots of theories and conjectures, but until now it was just that; speculation. Thanks to gizmodo we know that Sony is not in business to write checks for exclusives This, as we learned from Sony’s Jack Tretton, is because they’re [...]

I typically stay away from all things NBC related (typically way too liberal minded for this card carrying conservative to the point of being marginalized), but this story caught my eye Then he watched the Sony press conference, and the world as we know it changed. After hearing about “Metal Gear Solid 4”, as well [...]

Not really, but I think there is a feeling that Sony told their fan base to f’off. So, here is the final word (at least for me … for now) on the announcement that shocked the world; Sony responds to Final Fantasy XIII going multi-platform 1UP: You’re not too upset about the announcement? You don’t [...]

Sunday Night Potpourri

No comments

Today was a good day for yard work, real life work (not really, but duty called), beer guzzling, and NCAA Football 08. There was not much sports related in front of me worth watching. At this point, with Tiger out, I could care less about the Open, the Braves suck, and football is still a [...]

I just finished up a game that really points out some of the glaring flaws with NCAA Football 09. I took the Georgia Bulldogs on the road to face Eastern Michigan University. Of course the Dawgs brandished their black jerseys. I picked EMU because my #1 ranked (and 99/99/99 rated) black shirted Dawgs should be [...]

I guess the word is more or less out; NCAA Football 09 is a common disaster, but a fun one. The broken slider issue is inexcusable, and while I do not really care about the custom roster problems, this stuff gives the appearance of a complete lack of quality control. Tell me that is not [...]
