Happy Independence Day! A few nuggets for your July 4th reading pleasure.
Pangya Update
I have been enjoying Pangya: Fantasy Golf. Right now I am working my way through the story mode. It is really good clean fun, and is the perfect game for the PSP. The metacritic scores are better than average, and the user scores show that the game is going to quickly become a fan favorite.
In my book, this one is certainly worth a purchase.
PS3 vs. Xbox 360 price comparison
I found this one via N4G and thought it was interesting to see someone lay out the math, rather price of the two systems.
That said, the Xbox 360 is an impressive machine that comes with superior online capabilities and a gamut of quality games, but the cheapskate in me chose the PS3 because a) it really is cheaper overall and b) it’s more reliable. This is why all the talk of the PS3 being more expensive baffles me.
When you put it in those absolute terms it makes sense, but I question two things. First, does anyone really know the system failure rate of either system? Second, it all comes down to games. Get the system(s) that has the games you want to play and set yourself free on this Independence Day. Freedom of choice is a good thing.
PSP, Obscure The Aftermath, and Vagina Monsters
To be perfectly honest, I have no idea about the Obscure franchise, but I just had to quote this one. After all, according to PlayStation LifeStyle, this game has a vagina monster. How cool is that?
The game not only features many monsters, but also many weapons to fight the monsters with. There are 22 weapons total for the characters to utilize. The monsters themselves are based upon various phobias. Yes, that includes the Vagina Monster. At least, that is what they were calling it during the demonstration. Hope none of you have that phobia.
So many opportunities with this one, but we have a lot of youngsters that drop by, so I better show some restraint.
Calling All Cars!
I have played Calling All Cars! rather infrequently since getting it for free in one of the first few Qore issues. There never seemed to be many players online, and I could not get into the single player mode. Yesterday, we decided to do some three player action. This was the first time my boys had played the game. I won the day, my oldest son had a blast, and my middle boy started to figure out the basics of the game as we were getting ready to shut down for the night. I think this one is going to get some play time; fun for the whole family type game.
Happy Birthday American, and of course Happy Saturday!
