I love me some stuffs, so here we go!<\/p>\n

Brett Favre<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Big game of chicken. I don\u2019t care how much of a icon he is; for sure future Hall of Fame material. No way Green Bay should give in and release him because Favre \u201cdeserves\u201d to be released. This would set a horrible precedent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am done; retired. [several months later] Oops; I change my mind. Because I am such an all around good guy, and because I have done so much for you, I should be released.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Screw that noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legend tarnished? Sad songs say so much \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

High Stakes on the Vegas Strip: Poker Edition<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 This game is unbelievably fun<\/a>. How did I miss out on this gem? $4.99 is a sweet spot for me; hope Everyday Shooter<\/em> goes on sale at some point.<\/p>\n

Qore<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 I am overly disappointed with Qore. Hopefully Episode 3 in August does something to justify my purchase of the yearly subscription. First, Qore should be Remote Play enabled. I thought Sony wanted to push PS3-PSP connectivity. Second, Episode 1 has a SOCOM beta<\/em> download, but it the beta offer is never available. I am not a SOCOM fan, but free is free, and I would like to give the game a go. Finally, Calling All Cars<\/em> was free to subscribers, but on one is ever online. That is almost like someone saying they are giving us free garbage. It is free; get it before it stinks too much!<\/p>\n

Pixel Junk Eden Demo<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Very interesting game. Surreal. Plus it will have trophies<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cPixelJunk Eden is a short-form PSN title so there are fewer trophies when compared to, say, a Blu-ray title (which can have the esteemed platinum trophy), but we still managed to pack in quite a few. To begin with, you can get a bronze trophy for opening every \u201cseed\u201d in a stage. This is quite a challenge on some of the stages as the gardens are large and expansive. Then there are trophies for a load of other things, such as destroying 500 of the \u201cprowlers,\u201d or collecting 15 \u201ccrystals\u201d in one jump. My personal favorite is a trophy that you can only achieve in 3P mode, where you have to \u201cvolley\u201d a player between you back and forth five times without him\/her landing on a plant, a bit like tennis.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The full game should be available next week; instant purchase for me.<\/p>\n

Metal Gear Solid 4<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Still have not opened the game, but I had to get me some of that<\/a>. I get distracted too easily and start chasing butterflies, so I am going to hold off on playing this one for now. Maybe. I do need to finish up Uncharted: Drake\u2019s Fortune<\/em> and maybe put in some more time with Oblivion<\/em>. I take that back on Uncharted; I want to see if trophies get added in the near future before I jump back into that one. And then there is the money I wasted on Resistance<\/em>. Too many good games; never enough time. The consolation prize is that I do have a $10 Circuit City gift card.<\/p>\n

That is enough stuffs for now. Happy Saturday!<\/p>\n
