« Previous EntriesSound of silence … broken.
Sunday, August 24th, 2008 at 6:17 pmSorry for the sparse updates last week. Business travel, more work stuff, and some family time equaled no time for updates. Actually on the plane to San Antonio I put in some time with Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection for the PSP. This one or The Gottlieb Collection are mainstays […]
NCAA Football 09 Patch #1 Released
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008 at 7:28 pmFinally! I am downloading it as we speak. Been a long wait, but at least we finally have the roster patch. Before starting a session of Madden, I decided to throw in NCAA Football 09 to see if I would be prompted for an upgrade. Imagine my surprise to (finally) see that […]
NCAA Football 09 Patch Mess
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008 at 12:30 amAs I said a few minutes ago, PS3 users are still waiting for the “roster” patch (or patch #1) to be released. I really do not understand what the hold up is, but when I started up Madden 09 I was presented with a 24MB download for v1.10. If EA can have a patch ready […]
Madden and the bitter old man.
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008 at 10:51 pmAs of 9:30 PM EST, the NCAA Football 09 patch has still not been posted. Where is the f’ing patch for the PS3? Now that Madden is out, will anyone care? I love NCAA Football (the series, not necessarily this year’s game) so I want to see a quality gameplay patch, but […]
Madden Countdown (Amazon Ships Madden)
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008 at 6:31 amIt looks like Amazon has delivered on their “Release-Date Delivery” option. Madden shipped last night from their Louisville, KY distribution center, and is currently in Albany, GA UPS facility, which is about 90 minutes from my house. Amazon used the “Next Day Saver” option, but that should still be good for delivery late […]
PixilJunk Eden Update
Monday, August 11th, 2008 at 6:59 pmI am really enjoying Eden; it is like three games in one. First, is the whole, complete all the levels while exploring concept. Second, is the high score and race against the clock old school gaming concept. Third, is the trophy reward system, which is well, a rewarding gaming concept.
I am not […]
Qore Episode 3
Saturday, August 9th, 2008 at 6:10 pmI just downloaded Qore Episode 3, and was not left feeling very satisfied. For starters, it was a pain in the ass to download this episode. I thought part of the deal with a Qore subscription was that new episodes would automatically be detected and downloaded. Not so much. I could […]
PS3 NCAA Football 09 Patch MIA.
Saturday, August 9th, 2008 at 2:23 pmSo where the heck is the NCAA Football 09 patch for the PS3? It is already out for the 360 … no news on when it will be available for the PS3, but perhaps any day. One of the developers posted the following yesterday at OS:
“The patch is back with Sony now. We […]
Madden 09 Countdown (3 days).
Saturday, August 9th, 2008 at 8:54 amI was just about to pre-order the Madden 09 Collectors Edition from ebgames, but decided against it because the total price was a shocking $108.58 ($89.99 + $11.49 Next Day Shipping + $7.10 Tax). I decided that I did not need the game next day that bad. Seriously, there was a time and […]
Remote Play that sort of works.
Monday, August 4th, 2008 at 6:56 pmOver the weekend I gave PSP to PS3 Remote Play another go. This time I followed a reader’s (Morrelli) suggestion to leave the PS3 in Remote Play mode. This actually works; I connected to my PS3 over the internet (outside of my home network) without any connectivity problems. Lag was an issue, […]
1942: Joint Strike (PS3) Brief Impressions
Sunday, August 3rd, 2008 at 12:10 pmIt has been a while since I last played a 1942 game. I am not really what you would call a fan of the series, but many moons ago, I did enjoy previous versions of game in the 194x series. Picking up the latest version from the PlayStation Store a few weeks ago […]
Madden 09 Countdown (10 days).
Saturday, August 2nd, 2008 at 11:00 amThere is an interesting slider discussion going on at OS, and while some think there is much doom and gloom with the lack of CPU sliders, can it really be all that terrible? I mean down right PlayStation Madden 96 bad? Enough to cancel the game?
I think I am going to wait with […]
NCAA Football 09 Patch Update
Saturday, August 2nd, 2008 at 8:37 amIt looks like EA Sports is about to do the needful and patch NCAA Football 09. We can look at this two ways.
WTF was EA thinking releasing a game with this many issues? Or we can be grateful that EA Sports is addressing the many issues with the game. At this point […]
Madden 09 (Demo) Craziness. Don’t go away mad, just go away.
Friday, August 1st, 2008 at 9:43 pmI just had a total “oh shit” moment with the Madden 09 demo for the PlayStation 3. After calling a play, the players walked to the line and got ready for Eli to call for the ball. For some inexplicable reason, #69 (G, Rich Seubert) decided to walk away from the line of […]
Madden 09 (Demo) Impressions
Friday, August 1st, 2008 at 7:09 amI spent some time last night with the Madden 09 demo, and to be honest, I am not sure what to think.
You start out by taking a serious of Madden IQ tests. I’ll throw up mine for all to laugh at (grins and giggles all around please) …
Rush Offense (All-Madden @ 20%)
Pass Offense (All-Pro […]
