A bit of nostalgia, a trip back to being 11 and yearning for the ever elusive, extremely expensive NEO GEO. I think the system was $650, well above the price point of the Sega Genesis and Turbo Graffix 16. It was a time of ‘Beat’m ups’, Final Fight and Streets of Rage were the […]

Yesterday Sony unleashed a combo meal of firmware updates for the PSP and PS3. Separately, each patch added a few neat media features like DivX on the PS3 and Internet Radio on the PSP, but together they form like Voltron, unlocking the ability to play any downloaded or disc based PS1 title via Remote Play.

Fans looking forward to all the spin-offs and new IPs from Square-Enix will have to wait just a tiny bit more.

Personally, I prefer a little more action in my gaming, but a lot of people have been waiting a long time for some mating action on XBLA, so this one’s for them (Spyglass Games doesn’t count because it screws up my intro). Ubisoft has announced plans to bring the classic Chessmaster to Xbox Live Arcade […]

Another week, another batch of games to blow your paper route money on.
The annual fall flood of games continue with some pretty big releases across all platforms. 360 owners can take to the skies with Ace Combat 6 or hear women lament in Conan. PS3 owners get Ratchet and Clank and camera/card-trading game Eye of […]

Not to be outshined by Halo 3, Sony announced that the new PSP is selling like hotcakes, or cold sushi, in Japan.
Sony Corp sold about 250,000 units of the new version of the PlayStation Portable in Japan in the four days since its launch, a game magazine publisher said on Wednesday, roughly matching total Japanese […]

It sounds kind of dirty, but it’s anything but. Patapon is one of those games that’s tough to accurately genre-ify.
It’s a rhythm-based game, with some strategy and action elements that you play by issuing commands to the group you control via chants played on the PSP’s face buttons.
Yes, confusing is an acceptable phrase for describing […]
