…carefully watch the current situation with the PSN. Ubisoft’s new DRM for the PC version of Assassin’s Creed II (and multiple future titles, including the upcoming blockbuster-for-sure Splinter Cell: Conviction) requires a constant internet connection to their verification system. The PlayStation Network going down is another excellent example of how a critical system failing can [...]
My first thought upon getting into the game: Trine is a Lost Vikings for the new generation. I picked up this PSN download game last night while it is on sale for only $9.99. I am impressed.
Trine is a 2.5D puzzle/platformer with three characters, each with unique abilities, that you can switch between on the fly to [...]
I’m not a huge fan of RPGs. Those that manage to keep my attention for longer than a cursory glance are few and far between. The few that have managed to keep me playing have been of the tactical variety. Games like the Shining Force series, X-COM, and Silent Storm are examples of tactical rpg games [...]
I’m a little late to the party on this one. Braid has been out for a while now on various platforms, but I only just picked it up during the Playstation Network 10 for 10 sale. At $14.99 Braid was considered a good buy by most critics, at the sale price of $7.49 it is [...]
Time again for me to list ten random things. Similar to how everybody does their top ten blah-blahs of 20XX lists at the end of the year. But mine is way cooler than theirs.
10. Hot Chicks – They still avoid me like the plague, but I can’t stop looking (…leering…) at them.
9. RC Driver Live @ 5 – [...]
Five predictions for the coming year.
Gran Turismo 5 will be the highest rated/best reviewed video game of 2010.
Team Losi will introduce a real pure-bred racing follow-up to the XXX/XXX-T series.
Redeye w/Greg Gutfeld will surpass The O’Reilly Factor in the cable news ratings race.
The only thing I see in the movie theater in 2010 will be another RiffTrax Live performance.
I’ll get [...]
Air Force To Expand PlayStation 3-Based Supercomputer
The Air Force has used the cluster to test a method of processing multiple radar images into higher resolution composite images (known as synthetic aperture radar image formation), high-def video processing, and "neuromorphic computing," or building computers with brain-like properties.
The new PlayStation 3 “Montage” commercial has been on TV for a couple of weeks now, but it was only just yesterday that I noticed some (very) subtle product placement for a big name in the R/C hobby.
Take a look to the left of VP of Epic Footage, Kevin Butler. I’ve circled it in red [...]
3D Dot Game Heroes better be making the trip over the Pacific. The more I see of it the more I’m sure it would be a zero day purchase for me.
Here’s the first trailer for the game. The screenshots are great, but just don’t do it justice. Watch the video then those of you that [...]
