I Suck at Fat Princess

I’m pretty sure that I’ve written about Fat Princess before but it’s Sunday and I’m just too damn lazy to go looking for the link. And anyway, I’m pretty sure I wrote something about the controversy surrounding Fat Princess and that really doesn’t have anything to do with what I’m writing today.
The point is that I suck at Fat Princes.
I downloaded the demo from the Playstation Network, very excited to finally try my hand at the game.
I selected the “play with yourself” option since I am new to this whole cake filled wonderment and didn’t want to embarrass myself. Also, …read more
Little Big Planet: Big Time Suck

Filed under Gaming
I finally caved and downloaded the demo for Little Big Planet.
I know. I know! It’s been out for a while now and heck, it’s even been re-released in a Game of the Year Edition.
Talk about being way over fashionably late to the party.
But you know, I’ve been in such a gaming funk here recently that nothing has interested me much. Well, not until today.
I downloaded the demo because I was procrastinating and I didn’t want to play anything that would tax me too much in the brain department.
After what seemed like fifty years [because I had to install 3 freakin’ …read more

It was LIKE I WAS THERE!
In all actuality, I was sitting on my couch with my laptop in my lap watching the Sony press conference live but still, like I was there!
Yes. I know. I’m a dork.
SO many cool things were introduced [PSPgo!!! $249.99 and Agent from Rockstar exclusive to PS3] and lots of cool videos were shown [Final Fantasy 14 Online *gasp* and Uncharted 2]. Also, demos were played [Assassin's Creed 2] and there was the announcement that 50 PSone games are coming to the PSN [Playstation Network and did you know that you can still buy a PSone on …read more

Shatter, Brick-breaking Game By Sidhe

Filed under Gaming
Brick-breaking games are not new. Usually, a tiny ball is used to break the bricky lines of defence but if you add physics effects, power-ups, special attacks, boss battles, and some nifty 3D effect, you’ll get Shatter, a PS3 PlayStation Network game debuting later of the year.
Developed by Sidhe, a New Zealand game studio, Shatter features leaderboards, trophies and 10 different worlds.
“We were inspired by classics in the genre, but were very aware of the limitations that most examples don’t overcome, which means they don’t reach the full potential possible,” said Mario Wynands, Managing Director of Sidhe. “We stripped brick-breaking …read more
PlayStation Network On Other Sony Hardware
May 12, 2009 by Patrick Quek
Filed under Gaming
With over 20 million registered users around the world, the PlayStation Network or PSN is huge but it doesn’t mean worldwide PS3 sales are better. In order to promote PS3 (sorta), Sony intends to introduce PSN to other hardware (think HDTV, laptops?) under its brand.
So if you don’t have the PS3 or PSP, you can still enjoy the online content but you still need a controller to play online games, if you know what I mean.

Eight Wheel of Fortune Screenshots

Filed under Gaming
I posted a quick little press release snippet yesterday about the PSN’s newest addition: Wheel of Fortune. Now, I give you eight screens of the game.
The character customization looks pretty sweet and the screens are what I expect out of a PS3 game-crisp, clean and with good detail.

TimeShift is another PSN ghost town
How unlucky can one get? TimeShift, a sci-fi FPS, is a veritable ghost town when one tries to play online multiplayer over at PlayStation Network. Interestingly, I’ve had the same experience while playing The Darkness. That’s right, no one is around for anyone to play with.
Lost Planet demo coming to U.S. PSN
The multiplayer demo for the PlayStation 3 version of Lost Planet: Extreme Condition will appear on the U.S. PlayStation Network store today. This multiplayer demo features a single multiplayer map (titled Pirate Fortress) and support for only 8 players (the full game will support up to 16 players).
Despite the seemingly frugal number of maps, the demo sports two of the four multiplayer modes, Elimination (standard deathmatch mode) and Team Elimination. The retail version of Lost Planet for the PS3 will have four multiplayer modes altogether, including the two from the demo, plus Post Grab and Fugitive.
Lost Planet for the …read more
