Another “How To Fix the PSP” Post?!?

Yes, I’m afraid so. As I mentioned before, Adobe Acrobat and Custom Soundtrack support would be nice. But as I’ve been spending more time with the DS, here’s a few more that have come to mind:

Remove the UMD drive. Sell games on flash memory and via download from the PSN store. That’ll help with battery [...]

PSPlease

Ah Sony. Remember a couple of years ago when I wrote how much I liked my PSP, only after loading it with custom firmware? Well, recently I purchased a PS3, and thought with all the cool things it can do with my PSP, I found a way to go legit with it and the Sony [...]

Final Fantasy or Just Premature?

During one of the recent excellent “Gamestop 25% off used PSP games” weekly deals, I picked up the Square remakes of Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II in preparation for my family’s annual week of relaxation at the New Jersey shore. I now, over the span of five consoles, have accumulated the entire series of [...]

E3 2007: Nintendo and Sony Afterthoughts

Maybe it’s me. Maybe I’m being overly critical of this year’s E3 press events. But on the whole, they are pretty lackluster and without the grandiose fanfare the consoles were pushing the last couple years. It seems like a waste to spend all that money on these big AV spectacles when I can just go [...]

Dear Sony (Revisited)

Dear Sony:
Three months ago I wrote to you about my displeasure in the PSP. Well, what a difference a few months make. The holidays were very kind to your little system that couldn’t, with the awesomeness that was Gunpey and the Sega Genesis Collection. Who cares if they didn’t sell, it’s the thought that counts [...]

Gunpey – Seeing Shapes Like the First Time

Among the trifecta of PSP puzzle games from Q Entertainment, Gunpey probably garnered the least pre-release hype. Lumines II was the obvious attention-grabber, having been one of the surprise hits of the PSP’s catalog; and Every Extend Extra getting sloppy-seconds from its E3 2006 exposure. Yet Gunpey sat like the neglected middle child, just waiting [...]

My Follow-Up Letter to Sony

Dear Sony:
It’s been a few months since I wrote you my first letter, and since it’s been a while since we talked I thought I’d send you an update to tell you how my (un)favorite handheld has been treating me.
I vented about the unfriendly interface and functionality around video playback, and I appreciate the strides [...]

Sony and Sega, Sittin’ in a Tree…

The PSP needs help. Sega can barely tread water after abandoning the hardware market. And each has something that can help the other.
Sega, meet Sony. Sony, meet Sega.
The PSP has been criticized by not adding original games to its catalog. And recently, it does seem like ports are all the rage on the handheld. First [...]

What’s Right About the PSP

As much as I come down hard on the PSP, I still own one. And the mian reason I still do is because if it’s one thing it can do right, it’s ports of PS2 RPGs.
One such RPG that’s getting a release in Japan this week is Magna Carta Portable, a port of the Atlus [...]

E3 2006 – Thoughts from the Pre-Show

Lumines Live will be the next Geometry Wars.
Did anyone catch that the Halo 3 demo was done with Xbox 360 hardware? They actually had the demo realtime behind closed doors. Pretty sweet.
G4 sucks. Officially. Again. Kevin Pereira is an annoying talking head that needs to be fragged, Doom-style. His smiling mug wants to make me [...]
