….wanted….game….so….&^%$#…bad….

…so I ordered the Japanese title, Minna No Golf for the PlayStation 3 from Hong Kong today (as have so many others).
Me and my girlfriend enjoyed the PS2 version a lot and, as I’m reading lots of good things about this new one, and because I am the impatient type, I couldn’t resist ordering it [...]

PS3 + big-ass HDTV = OMFG

So a buddy of mine bought himself a big-ass, 46″(full-) HDTV earlier this week. He asked me if I wanted to take my PS3 with so we could check it out it’s full capabilities.
And in awe we were! Damn, that shit looks sharp.
I had downloaded a few high-definition movie- and game-trailers from the [...]

I just bought a Playstation 3…

The thing I least expected happened: buying the Playstation 3 the same month when it got available here in the Netherlands.
Yeh, well, what can I say — it can run Linux, dude.

Hardware: SmartJoy Dual Plus USB adapter

Yesterday, the SmartJoy Dual Plus USB adapter arrived by snail-mail. I ordered that thing so I could use the good old PS2 controllers in stead of buying a new set of joysticks to play games on the PC.

The adapter with 2 pads plugged in. If you’re wondering about the semi-transparent white plastic wrapping around the
controllers’ [...]

PS3: Pretty impressive stuff

I was just reading this transcript of the Sony E3 press conference where the new PS3 is presented.
It must have been great for people to actually have been there, when I read that:
he’s controlling a plane on-screen by wiggling the pad with his hands, using the buttons to fire and nothing else. It looks like [...]

Prostitutes want GTA banned

Speaking of bans, Slashdot also reports on prostitutes wanting the game GTA banned:
In the games, players can solicit “services” from prostitutes by driving their cars slowly near them. No sexual acts are in clear visible view, but during the “transaction,” the player regains health and loses money. Though the player cannot actively rape prostitutes in [...]

Graffiti game banned in Australia

Slashdot reports on a certain graffiti game being banned in Australia.

So, it’s OK for a US game producer to make a game in which you slay whole cultures of people. That basically sends out the signal `It is OK to kill to gain something‘.
Something harmless (and expressive) like graffiti is not at all sending out [...]

Can’t wait till Sony starts their PS3 marketing campaigns

Because the Microsoft backed articles printed nowadays start to bore me to death:
Sony’s new super-packed PS3 handles a lot more than games. That, some say, could confuse buyers
I think those kind of articles only confuse buyers.
If the Cell technology is really good for military and medical appliances, and if that’s really gonna sell, Sony would [...]

OMFG!

OMFG a ‘Crazy Frog Racer’ is going to be released?

Xbugs 360 part II

Microsoft knew about Xbugs 360 instability problems before-hand.

Xbugs 360

Xbox 360 reported to be fairly unstable.

My money’s on the PS3…

I just read on The Register that;
..Microsoft has posted a list of 212 Xbox games that are backward-compatible with the Xbox 360 - but only next-generation consoles with a hard drive.
The list, which you can view here, contains all the best-known Xbox titles. Games not present on the list will not run on the 360.
Obviously [...]
