Hello everyone, sorry for the radio silence of late here. The reason for the lack of updates here is that I’ve been hard working on my all new site which is also on the new domain of ExHardcoreGamer.com. I still have some posts and reviews to convert over to the new format but the site has been running for a couple weeks now so check it out and let me know what you think. Eventually this site will just redirect there, but it is still here without the updates so update your bookmarks. If you’re just interested in the Podcast you can view it at the main page of ExHardcoreGamer.com or here on my SoundCloud page. Indie Games Wednesday and Retro Thursday are still around but Forgotten Friday will now only be once in a while and replaced with Free to Play Friday. I hope you like the changes and please e-mail me at XnocreativityX@ExHardcoreGamer.com with any feedback, enjoy!

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy 4th of July. Look for a big announcement soon on here (some of you may already know), but I just wanted everyone to enjoy the holiday first. Stay safe and see you soon!
PSN Service Resuming
May 15
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.
This is it, the week we have been waiting for. This week sees not only the release of Portal 2
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
It is once again time for some eBay auctions. I picked up a bunch of games on Black Friday that I will never get to and so I’m just selling them off. I also have some games of mine like Alan Wake and Metroid Other M that I reviewed. If you would like to check them out, please click here. My personal collection will be posted soon (the same stuff from the list).
No More Playstation 3…
Jan 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.
PS3 Firmware 3.41 Released
Jul 27
Just now added to the PS3 was Firmware 3.41 which adds “Recommendations” to the Playstation Store. It will base these on what other people are buying combined with ratings. Kudos to Sony for what seems to be a reaction to the Destination Arcade. I tried checking it out for myself and it seems that it has not quite been implemented yet, maybe in time for the Tuesday update? Word is that a PSP firmware is due as well with more security stuff.
SingStar doesn’t seem to get a lot of love on other sites so I figured I’d post a little info that may help some people out. SingStar has finally received the 4.4 update that was supposed to be released back in June. It adds Online Battles to play online against friends, Vibrato detection, and the best feature (in my opinion) is the addition of creating SingStar Remote playlists via the PSP. The Community updates are listed after the break.
The new 2.0 patch/update as well as the latest DLC is out for Fat Princess that adds local multiplayer and some extra classes like Ninjas and Pirates. It is 161 MB and I am currently downloading it to see what it is like. Hopefully this doesn’t turn out like Smash Cars and the multiplayer isn’t just for the DLC owners. Will post again after some time spent with it.
UPDATE: The local multiplayer is there, but you wouldn’t know it. You have to start an online game like any other (do not do “play with friends”) and then the 3 other players can join by pressing start. Sadly, if you do not have the DLC expect LOTS of messages telling you to buy it. VERY annoying.
