Yes, I own GTA IV, but have I really played it yet? Absolutely not. At the time of GTA IV’s release, I was happily engrossed in playing Race Driver: GRID. At the back of my mind from previous experience of past GTA titles, was that each games requires an enormous investment of time. An investment [...]

Naughty Dog: Uncharted 2 Teaser is Real-Time- If you read the article, it’s absolutely true. It was the same with Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune which is probably why it earned accolades of best-looking game. Seriously though, on top of everything else, the visuals in this series are something rather special to behold.

This is my response to the news that Avi Arad will be producing an Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune film.
Immediately after playing Uncharted for the first time, I had always thought that Nathan Drake more or less looked like, and sounded exactly like Joe Flanigan. It looks like I’m not the only one who thinks this. Joe [...]

(Note: I was originally going to call this post “Gentleman, start your engines” but due to equality issues and the phrase having nothing to do with trophies, it was scrapped. That’s your dose of trivia for the day!)
Well, enough games are now out there that have trophy support. First I had a ‘blast’ on Super [...]

I suppose that this post has as much to do about money as it does about there being loads of games out there, but not having enough time to play them! Anyhow, I might as well recount from the beginning. I got my PS3 for Christmas 2007 and played on Assassin’s Creed. A lot. My [...]

Yes, perhaps ‘Haze‘ is an apt name for such a game. Wikipedia defines haze as:
…traditionally an atmospheric phenomenon where dust, smoke and other dry particles obscure the clarity of the sky.
Did the developers have a clear idea about what they were aiming for then? I like my first person shooters (FPS) to feel solid. Haze [...]

I’ve finally completed the story of Assassin’s Creed, even though I’ve had the game since Christmas. However, I can tell you that it is not easy trying to complete a game when you only return home about once a month, and have studies to attend to. I only completed Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune itself [...]

From Kotaku:
Sony is apparently pitching features like these to developers to extend the lives of their titles, using strong first and second party development showcases to prove that Home can effectively market outside of traditional means. We hope they take them up on their offer, because we’re definitely excited about the prospects.

Back when the PS3 launched, I practically screamed at Sony’s stupidity. Why price the damn thing out of the reach of most consumers? It meant that people like me, Joe Consumer, could not get a piece of the next-gen gaming action… at least not on the PS3 anyway. One year later, look [...]

More PS3 Gaming- In addition to being captivated by Locoroco Cocoreccho, Super Rub a Dub is a lot of fun as well. Again, excellent value for two small downloadable games. Anyhow, after having played heavy amounts of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. I like a bit of variety these days and try not to [...]
