Wow. Sony really did a piss poor job of providing simple, concise details describing their 3G Data Pass and free PSN game offering (confirmed to be Super Star Dust). More specifically, what to expect when you purchase an AT&T data pass. Once you cut through the rumors, theories, and innuendo, gamers just want to know [...]

Vita First Impressions

No comments

My First Edition bundle arrived safely and securely yesterday thanks to Amazon (release day shipping) and FedEx. I also picked up a 16GB memory card, a screen protector, Lumines, Hot Shots Golf, Uncharted; Little Deviants was packed in with the bundle. My very first impressions are that the hardware looks sexy; yes, it is the [...]

DiRT3 First Impressions

[Editor’s Note: My 13 year-old son takes a turn contributing to the Recycle Bin with his impressions of DiRT3. Look for future articles from Joshua as he tackles the world of gaming and sports (mostly Falcons and UGA). You can find him online via his PSN account jscFALCONS.] DiRT3 is an amazing off-road racing game [...]

If and when Ciel nosurge gets a U.S. release, hopefully we will receive an all-in-one bundle, and not have to deal with a base game plus DLC episodes [Link: ADULT Content WARNING]. It’s my understanding that Japanese gamers eat up dating simulations like hotcakes, but maybe not so much for the Western gaming audience. Since [...]

As a card carrying trophy whore, I have been watching the debate about Lumines Platinum status. Will it or will it not contain a Platinum? According to James Mielke (Q Games Producer) the game does in fact have a platinum. Additionally he also makes reference to a platinum trophy on his twitter too. Despite the [...]

February 15 is tumbling towards us quickly, along with the start of soccer practice for my nine year-old son (and yours truly co-coaching), Valentine’s Day, the newest Twisted Metal, and of course the Vita. How are these all connected you may ask? Let’s take these in quick succession. Soccer practice will be Monday and Wednesday, [...]

Vita 11 Days And Counting …

No comments

With the Vita a mere 11 days away, for those receiving the “super special, I’ll pay extra to get it a week early” Launch Day Bundle, the anticipation is building. Opinions are all over the map; the launch library is solid to above average, however the hardware has been received as sliced bread, with a [...]

I know Vita sales figures (or lack thereof) has been discussed ad nauseam, but now that we are down to the wire on the U.S. Vita launch, with decisions to be made on which hardware option to order, and of course which games to pick up, I think it is fair play to throw in [...]

Vita Decision Time

2 comments

You have to love Amazon. I currently have three different PlayStation Vitas on pre-order: WiFi and 3G/WiFi from June, and the PlayStation Vita First Edition Bundle (3G/WiFi) from October. Just trying to cover all my bases. I’ve been on the fence for a while trying to decide if I really need 3G, much less a [...]

The real question is going to be if I want to spring for $90-100 for a copy of MLB for the PS3 + Vita. The integration between the two versions looks very promising. I know there’s a lot of interest out there about our PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita integration this year so I wanted [...]

I love it when mainstream media picks up on videogames. Usually they only do because of blood, sex, and violence. Those crazy Japanese developers are at it again … The most basic game measures how hard the user can urinate. Others involve the user removing graffiti from a wall and creating wind within the game, [...]

Vita – To 3G or Wi-Fi?

4 comments

Speaking of Christmas, I have been having dreams and visions of a Vita dancing in my head. Alas, I am not going to import, so the wait continues for few more weeks. Which version will I get? I have multiple pre-orders with Amazon. An early edition bundle, Wi-Fi version, and of course the dreaded ‘how [...]

I love the concept of getting bonus goodies as a ‘reward’ of sorts for playing previous versions of a game. As long as the reward doesn’t cause game balance issues – either too powerful or you are shit out of luck because you didn’t play the previous installments. PSB: Are there any special treats reserved [...]

WTF is wrong with EA? I’m sure there is a very valid and reasonable explanation for EA not offering Vita-PS3-Vita game save transfer capabilities. EA is not rushing FIFA 12 to market quickly, delivering a sub-par handheld FIFA outing in order to capitalize on early Vita release opportunities. EA must really care about their core [...]

Platinum #5 …

No comments

I earned my fifth platinum Trophy earlier today after completing The Sly Collection: Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racoonus. What a major bitch. All in all the game is not really that difficult, but some of the boss battles are … well … a bitch.
