Is 2009 a Vintage Year For Games?

I can’t believe my luck this year: I’m an avid gamer, and I find myself spoilt for choice at the moment.  This is one of those years in which the sheer amount of quality games releases have well and truly out-stripped my budget!  With several games that could legitimately be called ‘Game Of The Year’, … Continue reading Is 2009 a Vintage Year For Games?

Some thoughts on Prince of Persia

I have waited till I completed the game in full before offering up some final thoughts on Prince of Persia, and I’m glad I did, as I can now visualise the game as a whole and in the right perspective.  I think the easiest way to go about it, is to direct you to GameSpot’s … Continue reading Some thoughts on Prince of Persia

Good things come in twos

There’s been a couple of games that I’ve been really excited about for a long time now that are currently on the horizon, and will be with us later this year: Assassin’s Creed 2 and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.  With E3, we’ve all been deluged with plenty of information about both games.  Here’s a round-up … Continue reading Good things come in twos

So many games, too little time

I suppose that this post has as much to do about money as it does about there being loads of games out there, but not having enough time to play them!  Anyhow, I might as well recount from the beginning.  I got my PS3 for Christmas 2007 and played on Assassin’s Creed.  A lot.  My … Continue reading So many games, too little time

Kaz Hirai: Sony can ‘re-evaluate’ paying for PS3 exclusives– Damn right, as PS3 Fanboy notes; “This strategy has meant a bevy of formerly PS2-exclusive series to become multiplatform successes on Xbox 360 and PC.”  Enjoying games such as Burnout, GTA and Assassin’s Creed on your 360, are you?  You can thank Sony for not bribing … Continue reading Kaz Hirai: Sony can ‘re-evaluate’ paying for PS3 exclusives

Nothing is true, everything is permitted

Image via Wikipedia I’ve finally completed the story of Assassin’s Creed, even though I’ve had the game since Christmas.  However, I can tell you that it is not easy trying to complete a game when you only return home about once a month, and have studies to attend to.  I only completed Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune … Continue reading Nothing is true, everything is permitted

The Empire Strikes Back

Back when the PS3 launched, I practically screamed at Sony’s stupidity. Why price the damn thing out of the reach of most consumers? It meant that people like me, Joe Consumer, could not get a piece of the next-gen gaming action… at least not on the PS3 anyway. One year later, look how things have … Continue reading The Empire Strikes Back

More PS3 Gaming

More PS3 Gaming- In addition to being captivated by Locoroco Cocoreccho, Super Rub a Dub is a lot of fun as well. Again, excellent value for two small downloadable games. Anyhow, after having played heavy amounts of Assassin’s Creed since I got my PS3, my other new favourites are Resistance: Fall of Man and Uncharted: … Continue reading More PS3 Gaming
