The art style that continues to pop up here and there for Ciel no sourge looks wonderful, but there is no what that this Vita game will be localized for the U.S. If I knew a lick of Japanese I would import this beauty, but I don’t, so I guess I will keep my fingers [...]

I’ll never learn; there are way more purchases, potential purchases, and upcoming “need to have that one” targets than I will ever have time to play. So what’s next? SSX (PS3): February 28. On preorder. It has been a long run since the PS2 Tricky heydays. Hopefully the franchise has a nice rebound, but I [...]

Vita – Week One Update

2 comments

OK, I’m getting a little ahead of myself, as technically tomorrow around 3PM’ish will be the end of a full week, but I really couldn’t resist myself. Today I’m offering up three random, but heavily focused, tidbits for your viewing pleasure. Battery Life For a portable device, how much time away from a charger is [...]

Could it be true? Soon after launch the Vita will receive PSOne compatibility? I wonder if this will be a free patch or if Sony will try to earn a few duckets with some sort of DLC add-on via the PSN store? There will be mass rioting across the internet if Sony charges … I [...]

Saturday T&A Is Back …

4 comments

It has been a while since I have done any sort of T&A, eye candy, or similar articles, so why not get things rolling straight away. The “cheeky” surfer, or as the subtitle says, “pro wave rider” Alana Blanchard is a beautiful young lady, so she keeps top billing in today’s triumphant return of eye [...]

Vita update time again; don’t hate me for my enthusiasm to actually (God forbid) write daily updates. Been a while. Multiple sources, including Sony (yet another shock) are reporting on Sony’s promise to deliver Vita-PS3 Cross Play. According to PlayStation LifeStyle When you buy Hustle Kings and/or Top Darts for PS Vita, you will get [...]

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 [...]
