After a rather odd download and install sequence of this Beta demo (required a ~40MB PS Store download, then an install, then another ~40MB download when the game launched, then another install, then a last ~1800MB download with a final install) I got into the game for the first time and… the servers where down.

My new Sega Saturn Pads… Alright, they aren’t really actual “Sega” pads, more like very, very good knock-offs from China that I bought off ebay. Recently I bought myself a copy of Street Fighter IV, along with it I also got myself one of the SFIV edition Madcatz controllers. It was a good controller, but I felt I had reached my limits with it (i.e. I’d whiff 3 out of 5 of Akumas air fireballs) so I sold it on with the intention of getting myself a decent arcade stick instead. As the days rolled by indecision set in and I realized I didn’t just want a controller for fight games, I wanted one I could also use with a laptop to play ROMs of old SNES and Sega platformers while commuting somewhere.

My first experience with Sonic was Sonic the Hedgehog [...]

If you’re a gamer and you haven’t heard of Crysis then hang your head in shame. Sure it might not have the best gameplay or story, but graphically it can’t be touched by anything on this generation of consoles. If you have a rig that can run it with all the bells and whistles enabled [...]

Recently this trailer for the new Prince of Persia (PoP) installment has really got my hyped about it’s upcoming release. (btw, the song is this trailer is Breath Me by Sia, I think it’s perfect)
