Lego Star Wars 2

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH, what a great game. So much unlockable stuff that it's the perfect time waster. Besides the tongue in cheek humor, the gameplay was just amazingly engaging. Of course there is the ability to use the force and a lightsaber. Then there are the worlds. The fact that you can run around freely in all the worlds you saw in the movies makes this all the better. Well I could blab on about this game, but I won't. If you haven't picked it up, you need too.

Far Too Long

So as you can see it has been over a month since my last post. I had not intended that to happen. Long story short life and emergencies happen. So here I am writing this on the other side of the biggest games release for the PSP since it's launch. I have plenty to comment on. I also have a few past releases that I finally got my hands on that I would like to talk about also. Until next post... Happy Gaming!

The eyes are watching me!!

Well I finally got a hold of my Patapon demo. And it couldn't have come at a better time. I seem to have come down with a nasty little cold bug, so this has given me something to do while feeling miserable. I will say at the outset of the game you get the sense that this is a rhythm game. That quickly changes once you get to the point where you fight the first monster. Equipping and arrangement of your troops is key. It makes the difference between winning a battle and loosing it. This game is pure pixel crack. The music will sit with you for days like LocoRoco's did. And the characters are amazingly well done. And the humor in this game is by far the best I've seen in a while. Well the 27th can't come soon enough. When I can finally sink my teeth into the retail version of this game. All I can say is GO BUY IT!! It's a no-brainer.

Pata Pata Pata Pon!!!

You know I couldn't go without talking about this game. One of the most hotly anticipated games by PSPers Patapon is shaping up to be a sleeper hit. I'm still waiting to get my hands on my pre-order demo so that I can get my fix. The clips I have seen of in game footage make this a no brainer buy. Touted as a rhythm game, there have been statements to the opposite. This is a highly advanced RTS per Shane Bentenhousen of 1Up.

You don't know how it feels... to be me

Wow it's been a while. That was very unintentional. With the holidays and an impromptu move, I've just been trying to get caught back up with life. I have plenty to discuss. I will break it up over the next few posts, because they are not related to each other. Lots and lots of gaming goodness in 2008!!!

Everyday Shooter coming to PSP?

So I'm a bit late in posting this, but it got me excited.


Many of you know that I would love to have everyday shooter on the PSP. Well, last week MTV's Multiplayer did an interview with Eric Lempel of Sony. And guess what was asked?



Multiplayer: The PS3 PSN titles — titles you mentioned like “flow” or “Everyday Shooter,” a game I really like — will the PSP store at all support those games being played on PSP? Or is that a whole other ball of wax.


Lempel: It’s usually a whole other ball of wax. But what a lot of those developers are asking about are ways to modify the titles, go back and do some work to get them available on the PSP. Like you said, I think “Everyday Shooter” and “Flow” would be great on the PSP. That’s something we’re looking at.

I think they're reading my blog ;-)

My PSPeed on your DS Lite! A.K.A.-Why I think flame wars are stupid.

So the other day I was reading this article in Gizmodo 8 reasons the psp will never ever overtake the ds. This is a reply to an article last week on why the PSP has a good chance of being up there with the DS. As I was reading the second article I thought to myself "why do we as gamers care so much about what console is better?" Does it mean we're cool if we have the right console? It just puzzled me. Personally I like any game system that is sitting in front of me at that point in time. I think that next-gen gaming is amazing in all it's formats, and will play a game on any format it might come on. My thought is that people are using this question of which is better to answer where they should put their hard earned money. To me the better question is "what do you want to play?" Buy the system that has the games you love.

So as I said above, it's not about "My PSPeed on your DS Lite!" I don't have the time for that argument. I'm too busy playing the new Castlevania ;-)


Moral of the story: Love the one you're with!
