Well, it’s Indie Games Wednesday and this Friday is Christmas so I figured I should do a Christmas related game: This week is The Flight Before Christmas. It’s a single player Christmas themed game that puts you in control of Santa delivering his presents.

For those that haven’t heard or noticed yet, the PS3 has a firmware upgrade available with the major feature being that you can play PSP Minis on your PS3. This sounds like Sony is on its way to making a reality what I wrote about in an Editorial I wrote back in September suggesting Sony update the PS3 to play PSP games. It appears though that right now there are only a handful of games that will actually work with Sony saying that in a couple weeks they will all work. Maybe this will be a test to see how things run and see the demand for more to work. The Minis are not allowed to have network play, so that’s one less thing for them to worry about emulating so I can see why this is a good place to start. Once a game I actually owns works I will post my impressions.
What was the first game system you owned? If you said Playstation or Nintendo 64, you may want to just move along. Arkedo Series –01 JUMP! (from here on I’ll just refer to it as Jump) is a straight up old school platformer straight from the 80s 8-bit NES/Sega Master System days. While this may turn a lot of people off, to me I thought it was a great experience.
I know, it’s not a review for Indie Games Wednesday, but i wanted to post something as promised. Weapon of Choice has been recently updated on Xbox Live Indie Games. The next time you load the game up it will prompt you to update it which requires a redownload of the game. Once this is done you will notice that there are quite a few more difficulty levels now for those looking for a challenge, or those that want to play through multiple times at different levels. In terms of what else the update does – I am still not sure as I did not notice anything different so far. Will update further as I find out.
