Where is the Modern Classic?

I stumbled upon GamerDNA the other day and thought the concept was pretty neat. Basically it works like Facebook but for the gaming community. One of the activities it uses to build DNA is adding games to a profile, so I took that opportunity to answer the unanswerable: What are my favorite games of all [...]

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 [...]

The Sony Crush

How impressive has Sony been in the past month? Settling the dispute with Immersion makes the SIXAXIS Dual Shock a short-term possibility. Replacing the Emotion chip in PS3s is not only a cost cutting move, but also one which may allow Sony to do some nifty tricks with backwards compatibility functionality. And although Sony is [...]

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 [...]

This Much Is True

There is a lot of conjecture regarding the negative press on the PS3’s launch in North America, and even Japan to an extent. And there have been those who have defended the PS3 launch despite the speculation because of the lack of substantial evidence in its favor. Well, it’s weird that over the course of [...]

PS3 = Emu

We were warned, and we all laughed. Now we are drooling at the PS3’s Trojan horse.
Yes, the PS3’s hard drive can be partitioned to run multiple operating systems. And as long as an OS supports the Cell processor, the PS3 would in theory have access to a plethora of applications which would undoubtedly render the [...]

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 [...]
