We’re back with Episode 18 of the Sarcastic Gamer Playstation Podcast… and it’s a doozy!

I own Guitar Hero (PS2), Guitar Hero II (PS2), Guitar Hero II (360), Guitar Hero III (360), and Rock Band (360).  I own FIVE plastic guitars, a mic, and a drum set from those games.  It’s quite ridiculous.  The path that led to my situation is quite frustrating and should’ve been much easier.  I can [...]

Intel recently revealed the final spec for USB 3.0 to the public and while the reception was relatively favorable. PC gamers, however, may want to make sure their home owner’s insurance premiums are paid up, there are some thing we didn’t know about USB 3.0 that are just now surfacing. According to our [...]

In a recent tour of Capcom’s studios, I stumbled across something of epic proportion that nobody else in the gaming industry seems to care about. How this could be overlooked is amazing to me. The upcoming PS3/360 game Bionic Commando is founded on a very false assumption.
To find out the truth, continue on [...]

Just a quick note to let everyone interested in getting access to Playstation Home to check out the PS Home theme put on the PS Store today as Sony will be picking folks that have expressed interest (ie. downloaded the theme) to trickle into the Home beta as they deem fit. No word on [...]
