Some thoughts on Prince of Persia

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

I have waited till I completed the game in full before offering up some final thoughts on Prince of Persia, and I’m glad I did, as I can now visualise the game as a whole and in the right perspective.  I think the easiest way to go about it, is to direct you to GameSpot’s review and take it from there.

I’ll agree with GameSpot in that Prince of Persia looks and sounds fantastic.  In certain places, it really is spectacular- drawing you in to the universe depicted in the game.  Yet my opinion differs when turning my attention to the level design.  The mechanics of the level design are technically sound in that the environments are visually interesting and quite exhilarating to navigate through.  Yet as I was progressing through Prince of Persia I had a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that yes, this was just a game, and it felt like one too.  In many respects, it’s all down to the level design for me.

Your Search Questions Answered (Vol.2)

Monday, April 6th, 2009

I get all sorts of search terms that end up leading people to my blog, but sometimes the answers they’re looking for aren’t exactly here.  So I’ve pulled together some more questions that may be of use, following on from Vol.1.  In this edition, I’ve also mixed in some non-PS3 or gaming related queries as that’s what some people are searching for.

‘no fuss reviews’
Ah yes- this is a site that I love due to its simplicity.  No fuss reviews for games, summed up in one word.  I’ve added a feed of recent ‘no fuss reviews’ in the sidebar, and linked to the site under the links section.  Whilst not a definitive resource for reviews, it’ll at least provide a selection of reviewed games at-a-glance.

‘hd wallpapers of paramour’
Spelt wrong, but never mind.  You can find a small selection of HD wallpapers over here.

‘how long is the ps3 warranty’
Bought from any store brand-new you get a one year, standard warranty.  I’d buy the store’s extended warranty to be honest.  See my post: ‘An insight into how faulty PS3s are dealt with‘ for why I recommend this.  Better to be safe than sorry.

‘more tv points in other rooms’
You need to be a bit more specific here, chief.  Does anyone know what this user means?  Aerial sockets perhaps?

‘can go!cam talk to ps3?’
Unfortunately, no.  Not that I know of, anyway.  Sure it’d be cool, but then there’s the PlayStation Eye for the PS3 for the purpose of video capture etc.  Although, I have to admit, video streaming from the PSP to the PS3 would be pretty sweet!

‘race driver grid trophies’
Doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.  I know, Codemasters are being really mean on this point.  Boo.  Hiss.  I cover this topic in some detail in my blog post: ‘A golden opportunity for Codemasters‘.

‘nathan drake jack o neill’
What could possibly link these two chaps together?!  Similar personality or sense of humour, perhaps?  With regards to Nathan Drake, I’ve always thought he shares a lot in common with the actor Joe Flanigan.

‘myplaystationnetwork.com’
Sorry, this is a bit of wishful thinking.  This site doesn’t exist. I’ve checked, honest!  http://uk.playstation.com/psn/ is where it’s all happening.

‘go cam psp reviews’
Step right this way for a full, comprehensive review.

‘hayley williams septum’
Yup, I have it covered.

‘hayley williams nipple pierced’
Wouldn’t you like to know?  I think this is some more wishful thinking!

‘sony ps3 price drop 2009′
Hah!  We all wish this was true.  For my thoughts on this you can see ‘Four things Sony can do to turn the tide for the PS3 in 2009‘ and ‘Sony drops price on the wrong PlayStation‘.  On both posts I’ve made my opinion perfectly clear in this regard.  Whilst this is a PS3-centric blog, I don’t pull any punches when Sony need a good kick up the ass every now and then.  The optomist inside of me thinks there’ still time though; it could still happen (everyone cross your fingers though, for good measure!).

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Revealed

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Revealed- Words cannot describe how excited I am about this.  The original Uncharted was everything I loved about games: great plot, an amazing sound track, visuals to die for, and super-tight controls.  In other words, the perfect package.  I can’t wait to find out more about Uncharted 2!
