Portable Blu-Ray?

Sony’s probably already thrilled with the recent news about Warner Bros focusing exclusively on Blu-ray releases and dropping HD DVD altogether. Hang on to your breeches because here comes another Blu-ray bombshell: BD-Live interactivity that, among other things, will let users extract movie content for use as mobile phone ringtones, etc.
Even more thrilling is news […]

You’re On Your Way With the PSP GPS

None of my ancestors were North American pioneers, which is a good thing because they surely would have driven into a snake-infested swamp or a den of bears and then I would not have been born. I am afflicted with a terrible sense of direction, and the very same plagues my father and my grandfather. […]

The PSP’s Long Memory

Engage CES. Sony has announced something interesting: A sixteen-gig Pro Duo memory stick for the storage-starved PSP. All the better for your stacks of pornography, my dear.
The one drawback to this otherwise good idea is the price: 300 smackeroos. Awww.
The new Pro Duo would’ve been handy to have a month ago when my brother borrowed […]

Engage In Annoying Conversations With PSP Skype

According to Gamasutra, Sony plans to announce upcoming Skype support for the PSP, most likely at the rapidly-upcoming CES show.
I’m the kind of person who desperately wants to turn around and slug the vapid chatterer sitting behind me on the bus. I have no idea what people find interesting enough to bother yelling about […]

Music of the Night

If I were capable of naming my favourite game, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night would probably have to engage in a battle royale with Mega Man X, Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy VI. I’ve unlocked Symphony of the Night in Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles and I haven’t returned to Rondo of Blood since. […]

Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles

Thanks to the generosity of a good friend, I now own Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles for the PSP. It was technically a Christmas present, but thanks to my own impatience, it’s since become a Now present.
Thinking of buying? The first thing you should know is that Dracula X Chronicles is a fantastic value. For […]

PSOne on your PSP thanks to your PS3

The latest Playstation 3 hardware update (2.10) and the latest PSP hardware update (3.80) have combined their WonderTwin Sony Powers to let you do something pretty awesome: Access any original Playstation game on your PSP through remote play.
“But,” you say, “I already play PSOne games on my PSP with homebrew–”
::Machine gun fire:: Shhh!
Unfortunately, your […]

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

Square-Enix has been milking the hell out of the Final Fantasy VII franchise (yet denying us a PS3 remake) in honour of FF VII’s tenth birthday. Most of the subsequent spin-off games and movies are kay-rap; even Final Fantasy: Advent Children was more befuddling than cool.
Still, I kind of like the ethereal presence Zack maintains […]

November Reign

The NPD numbers are in for November, and it looks like video games are mopping the floor with regular boring (and probably educational) toys this Christmas. Sony sold 466,000 Playstation 3s and 496,000 Playstation 2s, suggesting that people are relatively happy about the PS3 price drop and don’t mind the loss of backwards compatibility as […]

2007 Holiday Guide

Is Christmas shopping kicking your ass this year? You might be interested in this Videogame Gift Guide I helped put together for 1UP.
Here’s the PS3 listing and over yonder are some great PSP recommendations.
Long story short, if you like your buddy, get him Rock Band. If you hate him, get him Lair.
On a different note, […]
