MAG (PS3) »
by Evan A. Have you ever wondered what it’d be like to play with more than four people? Eight people? Even 16 different people? How about, 256! This is what MAG for the PS3 brings to the table. MAG is a PS3 exclusive and was released on January 26. MAG is a pure online game [...]
NCAA Football 11 »
by Evan A. With College Football getting ready to start again, what better way to get ready for the season than with EA Sports NCAA Football 11. The Destroyer of Men (Tim Tebow) is on the cover of all the console games. I do not know how often that has happened. Either way, this game [...]
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves »
by Glen A. Late last year, Trevor wrote a review on Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. Though we were late getting the game, it was still fun, and lived up to the reviews we had read. I don’t play a whole lot of games (Halo 3 online is about it right now), but every now and then [...]
Prince of Persia (PS3) »
Since the first Prince of Persia game came out in 1989, there have been nine different games related to the series. This addition to the series is called simply “Prince of Persia” and it was released on December 2008. This game continues to build on what the previous games have been built around. Those aspects [...]
NCAA 2010 (PS3) »
by Evan A. Yet another year has come and gone. Another year for ups and downs for our beloved college teams. Thank goodness EA Sports comes out with a new NCAA game every year. It’s also great that the game comes out before the season so that we can live our teams dreams out before [...]
Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection (PS3) »
by Trevor A. Sonic the Hedgehog? Streets of Rage? Golden Axe? Vectorman? On a current-gen console? Yep. The fastest hedgehog in the world is back and he’s brought some friends this time. Forty Genesis (Mega Drive to the rest of the world) classics on a single DVD/Blu-ray Disc! Not to mention nine Master System games. [...]
Guitar Hero World Tour (PS3) »
by Trevor A. The Guitar Hero series has always been about one thing: being a guitar hero. Guitar Hero was a proven success back in 2005 when Harmonix first brought it to market. The keys were then handed to Neversoft to continue bringing the people what they want: more Guitar Hero (Or cowbell. It’s your [...]
Rock Band 2 »
Let there be rock! by Trevor A. By now, everyone and their mother has heard of Rock Band. It revamped the music simulator genre by allowing four people to get together and rock out to Rock ‘n’ Roll songs. You may ask, then, “Is Rock Band 2 really worth the purchase?” I would have to [...]
Mirror’s Edge (PS3) »
by Trevor A. What do you when you put a platformer, action-oriented game with a first-person perspective twist? Mirror’s Edge, duh. Swedish video game developer DICE has rolled out with a new game that you may end up hating and loving at the same time. It’s a weird feeling… The hero of this story (sorry, [...]
MotorStorm: Pacific Rift (PS3) »
by Trevor A. The MotorStorm series was first introduced to the PlayStation 3 near the birth of the console. I enjoyed the first game, and MotorStorm: Pacific Rift is just as good, if not better, than it’s predecessor. If you aren’t familiar with MotorStorm, I’ll give you the DL. First and foremost, MotorStorm is a [...]
Folklore (PS3) »
by Trevor A. Two very different characters are summoned to the small town of Doolin Village (located in Ireland). A 22-year old university student named Ellen receives a mysterious letter, supposedly from her mother. The only problem with that is… well, her mother has been dead for 17 years. Drowned in the belief of seeing [...]
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe: Kollector’s Edition (PS3) »
by Trevor A. Mortal Kombat II was the last Mortal Kombat game I have ever played. Or at least to my recollection. That was back on the Sega Genesis. Man, that was a while ago. I miss the original Sonic the Hedgehog and Street Fighter II… Okay, enough reminiscing. On with the review! For starters, [...]
Eternal Sonata (PS3) »
by Trevor A. I like RPGs. No, not rocket-propelled grenades. Role playing games. Japanese RPGs in particular. The Final Fantasy series would have to be my favorite. Debuting on Xbox 360 in 2007, Eternal Sonata graces itself onto the PlayStation 3. Polish composer and tone poet, Frederic Chopin, is dying of tuberculosis. But since he [...]
PlayStation Home – Open Home Beta (PS3) »
by Trevor A. Note: This post is about the first three days of PlayStation Home’s release Home finally got out of the closed beta doors and allowed everyone to enter on Thursday, December 11. I went on the official PlayStation forum and GameFAQs to figure out when the heck it was coming out. I tried [...]
LittleBigPlanet (PS3) »
by Trevor A. LittleBigPlanet ain’t your typical little brother’s game. It may look like it at first glance. To tell you the truth, it isn’t. Plain and simple. The game starts you out in your pod after the little introduction (narrated by Stephen Fry. He even does the tutorials, so you’ll be hearing a lot [...]
Rock Band Drum Silencers »
by Trevor A. Since the first installment in the Rock Band series, numerous people have made modifications to their drum set, as proven by videos on YouTube. Harmonix probably heard the cries of many parents, and most likely neighbors, and decided to release official drum silencers. These drum pad silencers can go with any console [...]
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune (PS3) »
by Trevor A. You may know the developing team Naughty Dog by now. They were the guys who brought you Crash Bandicoot on the PSone and the Jak & Daxter franchise on the PlayStation 2. Now they have brought another game to the next generation of consoles. Although a year old before we bought it [...]
Band Set Peripherals (PS3, Xbox 360) »
by Trevor A. Last holiday sesaon, Guitar Hero III and Rock Band came out practically side by side in the U.S. (Guitar Hero III in October for Xbox 360, PlayStaiton 3, PlayStation 2, Nintendo Wii and Rock Band in November for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 2), but a problem arose. For the Xbox [...]
Soulcalibur IV (PS3) »
by Trevor A. When I first heard news of Soulcalibur II being released on the GameCube, Xbox, and PlayStation 2, I delved into it a little deeper. I read some previews and when the game was finally released, read the reviews. Shortly thereafter we got the game on Nintendo GameCube. It was the choice, due [...]
Rock Band (PS3) »
by Trevor A. I’ve been in the music business since July of 2007 when we first got Guitar Hero II on PlayStation 2. Things started out slow since I was a beginner, but after months of practice I finally reached the level of Expert. There are still quite a repertoire of songs I still can’t exactly accomplish [...]
Update #1: Nightblade for Guitar Hero III (PS3) »
By Glen A. Since I mentioned that the Nightblade does come with a warning straight out of the box about the whammy bar, I thought I should share we’re having some instances where the bar actually sticks open, which means that even when you’re not trying to slide through a long note, it’ll sound like [...]
Nightblade guitar for Guitar Hero III on PS3 »
By Glen A. When Guitar Hero III came out, the only way to get a guitar was to buy the one bundled with the game. That was great the first time around, but what if you have a friend you want to co-op or battle with and they don’t already own the game themselves? For [...]
Heavenly Sword PS3 »
By Evan A. Heavenly Sword is one of the first games to come out for the PS3 and it definitely didn’t disappoint my expectations, mainly because I didn’t know much about it to begin with. Since my dad likes to try out the new games that look interesting to him first, I watched him play [...]
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (PS3) »
By Trevor A. Lately, I have played GHIII on expert. I’m getting somewhat better, but it still hurts to play, especially on those cursed triple notes where you must switch from your index finger, middle finger, and pinky to index, ring, and pinky while moving down a couple frets. The game as a whole is [...]
PS3 Accessories »
By Glen A. Along with the aforementioned PS3, I also got a few accessories for it. In fact, the guy at Best Buy insisted I do so. I had intended to get at least another wireless controller, since game consoles only come boxed with one, but he also suggested a play juice charge cable, a [...]
