PSN Service Resuming

It looks like PSN service is finally resuming to go along with a new firmware update on PS3. It seems that you will be asked to change your password which is definitely a good idea. I’m currently charging my PSP so that I can straighten things out when I get up tomorrow.

[UPDATE] I just read that it is the northeast and CA only right now so check their site where they have a map so you know when your state has service resumed.

Game Releases for the Week of April 18th

This is it, the week we have been waiting for.  This week sees not only the release of Portal 2but also the long awaited next game in the Mortal Kombat series (back to M rated goodness!).  There were a few other cool releases, so check out the list by clicking here or in the Upcoming Releases button up top.  I picked up both Portal 2(on PC) and Mortal Kombat (on Xbox 360).  For those with a PS3, you also get the PC version for free which is a pretty sweet deal if you ask me.

Xbox 360 and PS3 Review: WWE Legends of Wrestlemania

PS2CoverSheet108Well today is the annual PPV event Wrestlemania (Wrestlemania XVII to be exact) and I figured to stay in the spirit of the day I would post a wrestling game review, so why not one with “Wrestlemania” right in the title.  WWE Legends of Wrestlemania came out in March of 2009 to help promote that year’s PPV event as well as get a more casual market than the traditional Smackdown vs. RAW series was getting.  So the question remains: Did it work then, and do we care now?

Upcoming Releases (finally) Updated

The Upcoming Releases have been updated, although it is a rather slim week this week.  I will personally be picking up Mario Sports Mix and You Don’t Know Jack, but this week also sees the release of Dungeons on PC as well as Test Drive Unlimited 2 for multiple platforms, and Trinity: Souls Of Zill O’llwhich is an RPG from KOEI that I hadn’t heard of until last week and still know nothing about.  Remember if you check the release list and order anything it helps fund the site.  What will you be picking up this week (if anything)?

My Playstation Collection is for Sale [UPDATED]

As I mentioned before, my PS3 has died and Sony won’t repair it so I’m selling off my collection.  It contains games for Playstation, Playstation 2, and Playstation 3.  All games are complete with the case and book unless otherwise noted.  If you are interested in anything here feel free to let me know.  Also let me know if you have any questions about anything.  If I find anything else tucked away in the attic I will update the list accordingly. Check after the break for the list.

No More Playstation 3…

I would just like to post to let everyone know that there will not be anything related to Playstation 3 posted here anymore as I no longer have one.  After the Blu-Ray drive went back in August I had it “repaired” by Sony (aka, they sent a refurb).  New Year’s Eve I went to use the Playstation 3 for my party and I got the dreaded yellow light (think red rings on Xbox 360).  Sony only covers their repairs for 90 days so they said I’d have to pay another $180 to fix it.  They would not budge on this matter so I’m selling all my Playstation stuff as I can no longer use it.  I will continue to post about Xbox 360, Wii, PC, and Android.

ICO and Shadow of the Colossus Collection Coming to PS3

Two of the best games are coming out again remastered in HD for the Sony Playstation 3.  It has been 7 or 8 years since I have played ICO so I’m looking forward to replaying it again, and I feel that Shadow of the Colossus could have really benefited from better hardware (the game seemed to try too hard for the poor PS2 to keep up).  Click below to pre-order so you can either play these two classics for the first time, or enjoy them all over again (For trophies, of course!)

Response to E-Mails/IMs About Rhythm Games

I’ve been getting some e-mails and IMs about music games, especially way back when I did my review for Guitar Hero: Van Halen, about which series I prefer and which instruments.  Another common question is the best price to get for them.  With Rock Band 3and Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock coming soon that means new instruments coming out and the older ones getting cheaper.  I will say this, retail stores seem to be major rip-offs for the most part so check eBay or Amazon for some good deals on new and used.  I have provided some links below.  My instrument preference?  I prefer the Guitar Hero guitars and the Rock Band drums (as long as there are the cymbols added on), although I do like having the Guitar Hero drums for GH games and they are growing on me.  Also below is a nice deal on the Band Hero Super Bundle ($100 for the game, mic, guitar, and drums.  Can’t be beat and the songs can be exported into GH5).  To those that contacted me, was this enough info or would you like something more in depth?
