Yahtzee On Chains of Olympus and Me On Yahtzee

Yes. Take that title in any sexual manner you like. I have a fever of about 100 and I’ve been cheated because I feel like shit, but I’m not hallucinating.
Yahtzee has posted his usual Wednesday rant, this time for God of War: Chains of Olympus for the PSP.

Yahtzee’s kind of an interesting individual because I […]

I Want Crisis Core

So my next game is going to be Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII for a number of reasons. First of all, the game’s supposed to be somewhere between halfway decent and awesome. I’ll settle if it’s somewhere in the middle of the middle: “Pretty Rad” sounds okay. I’m easy-going.
I’m really nostalgic for Final Fantasy VII. […]

Wipeout Pulse Review

If you’re a crazy person who’s undecided about Wipeout Pulse for the PSP, you might find GameTrailers’ review handy:

Unless you have some kind of automatic prejudice against a GameTrailers’ review, I guess. I personally favour them, since they forgo the witty commentary and let me know why or why not I’d enjoy the […]

iPhone Probably Won’t Kill PSP

There’s been a lot of recent fuss and muss over Spore coming to iPhone. Could this be the start of a serious rivalry between cellphone games and portable systems like the PSP and DS?
Anyone who’s familiar with the cellphone scene in Japan knows the score here. Quick tour: Cellphones in Japan do everything short of […]

Two Teens Charged in PSP Death

Deaths related to video games are always incredibly sad. I don’t care so much about the media backlash (twats like Jack Thompson seriously aren’t worth the energy and oxygen it takes to point your eyeballs in his flailing direction), but it depresses me when people die over dumb material things. There’s no price tag on […]

Rumour: PS3 Slim?

Catering once again to a society that’s terrified of fatties, another game system might be slimming down, namely the Playstation 3.
The whispering started at the gadget site T3.com, which even offered a mock-up of what the system might look like (enclosed right). The “PS3 Slim” is just a rumour at this point, but given the […]

Beat the Patapon Drum for $19.99.

If you’re a cheap-ass and you know it, hit a drum. Papaton, a rhythm-based PSP game by the creators of Loco Roco, will be budget priced at $19.99.
Sony is hoping that the low price, the same figure that’s usually reserved for their Greatest Hits collection, will help new audiences reach out to Patapon’s unique […]

SNK’s Boobs, Blood and Fighting Babes Coming To PSP

In the Beginning (of 1990 take a year or two), Capcom made Street Fighter and it was good. Alas, the Dark Prince Lucifer released many imitators to foul up the newborn head-to-head fighting genre, and his evil deeds flooded the arcades with lacklustre doppelgangers.
The mysterious god called SNK set to work creating titles that […]

Yahtzee Not Silent About Silent Hill

Famous fast-talking game critic Yahtzee has lots to say about Silent Hill Origins for the PSP, and a great deal of it is justified:

Heck, he’s being nice; he rates most of the Silent Hill series on its story alone. He didn’t even give Bioshock the same courtesy.

PSP to PS2: Little People, Big World

Siliconera has published a discussion with John Koller, Senior Marketing Manager for the PSP, about porting games from the PSP to the Playstation 2. Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters is one title that will graduate from the kids’ table and be allowed to sit with the (slightly geriatric) grown-ups.
It’s an interesting way to expand the […]
