PSP to PS2: Little People, Big World
Siliconera has published a discussion with John Koller, Senior Marketing Manager for the PSP, about porting games from the PSP to the Playstation 2. Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters is one title that will graduate from the kids’ table and be allowed to sit with the (slightly geriatric) grown-ups.
It’s an interesting way to expand the Playstation 2’s life meter (yes, I am now responsible for history’s poorest metaphor), and it will definitely be a welcome choice for anyone who doesn’t like eyestrain–or blistered thumbs. It’s an established fact that the PSP’s analog stick is next to useless and its d-pad is mush. Now Ratchet and Clank will be going places. Literally.
If it makes you feel any better, I think I may have put forth a runner up for worst metaphor in a school paper recently. Something about how the “present is so pregnant with possibilities and so unsure of who the father is.”
Whatever that even means. I don’t even know if it’s a metaphor. I always get metaphors confused with, uh, the other thing that isn’t metaphors but seems like it should be.
English was one of my best subjects.
My grandfather once won an award in the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest for some hideous metaphor he concieved; I wish I could remember what it was. I just recall it being worthy of a thousand groans.
