UPDATE: The original IW video was pulled, but we found another feed. We had it up, but decided to pull the alternate link down ourselves.

Also we have Infinity Ward’s response, after the jump.

……………………..

Wow.  This video just dropped on twitter by http://twitter.com/fourzerotwo and htp://twitter.com/Infinityward. It’s a YouTube Video “PSA” for the Fight Against Grenade Spaming starring Phillies Pitcher Cole Hamels.

Yes. F.A.G.S.

Really, Infinity Ward?  See the video, after the jump.

No, the game’s title is not a crude reference to anyone’s sexual prowess in the bedroom.  It’s actually a cleverly designed PSP title by XSeed, where you play across a series of 30-second-long mini games spoofing Japanese role playing games like Dragon Warrior or Final Fantasy (the original NES version).  Think of it as the “Warioware” of role-playing games, with it’s tongue firmly stuck in it’s 8-bit graphical cheek.

I want to peel my face off with a lemon zester.  NBA 2K10’s RIDICULOUS bugs have made me THAT mad.  In my honest opinion, there is no way that 2K thought this game was finished when they released it.  The enormous number of bugs (I have a ton of video evidence coming up below) that sit up and bite you in the face on virtually EVERY play-through of the game suggest…nay proves… That 2K cared more about hitting a release date than maintaining the normally astronomical standards that their sports games are known for.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I submit to you that 2K Sports did knowingly and willfully release a broken basketball game to its fiercely loyal NBA2K fanbase.  My evidence, after the jump. (more…)

In my defence, I made this in Paint in university. Cut me some slack.

No, your eyes do not need testing. Do not adjust your set. What you’re looking at above is an accurate depiction of Gran Turismo’s gameplay on the PSP. Sort of.

As messed up as it might be, it makes perfect sense. Read why in Sarcastic Gamer’s review over the jump.

Why do I keep playing Demon’s Souls?  That’s a question I’ve asked myself over and over all this week.  This game is brutal. There is no release with this game, no stop, no time to take a breather, no letting up. From the time you begin the tutorial to the first time you die, and the second and third and so on, the game is relentless in it’s difficulty. I literally spent five hours playing the first level…

Why do I keep playing Demon’s Souls? Find out, after the jump.

Imagine this scenario. The PSP-Go launches at $250 in direct competition with the iPod touch. In the month before the release of the console, Sony started releasing waves of PSP titles onto the PSN store. On launch day, they release another wave of titles, this time including some brand new releases. Being the brilliant marketing minds that they are, Sony strikes a deal with GameStop to trade in your PSP games for PlayStation Store credit.

Tiny image because Wordpress sucks at resizing. WE ARE A PROFESSIONAL WEBSITE. Wait, no, better idea: it's tiny to represent how tiny the box is. That!

OKAY, OKAY, you caught me. I give a damn about the PSPgo. I give a great big hoo-hah lah-dee-dah friggin-oopla massive damn about the PSPgo. I just suffer from a severe lack of money and so immediately rain hate on everyone who is able to get one.

Good thing I was able to get one then. AND IT’S SO PRETTY.

Sony Got Pwned!

Well, in a surprise twist, California Judge Anthony Brown has agreed that Erik Estavillo has made a sufficient enough point to prove to the court that Sony Computer Entertainment America violated his First Amendment rights when they kicked him off the Playstation Network service a few months ago for being a dickwad while playing Resistance: Fall of Man online.  The trial date is set for December 19^th.

Lazy image FTW.

Today, as I crank this article out, is October 1st. The first of October. The first day of the second month of autumn. There’s 30 days to go to Halloween, it was September yesterday but now it’s not, and the PSP Go apparently came out today. Not that you’d know.

This Thursday the PSP Go will finally hit the market. If your one of the PSP faithful, one of the gamers out there who has stuck with the PSP through all its various incarnations, the release of the PSP Go has got to be a little bittersweet. Sorta like getting the Christmas present you always wanted, only you have to let Santa pistol whip and rob you first. Ok, maybe that IS a bit much…but only a just a bit. (more…)
