White Knight Story Boxart…For Japan
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

The game that Sony made just for me is going to be released on Christmas as a present. Though I do not live in Japan and will have to import this game, we are fortunate enough to have a gander at the official boxart. I can only look at it for so long before my [...]

PS3 and PSP: A Match Made by Sony
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

Written by Chris Rah Osiris I have a PSP. I also have a PS3. I am not shocked to hear that I am not the only one with these two possessions. Christian Svensson has a better idea of how common this is. Apparently, 50% of PS3 owners, also own a PSP. How does he know? [...]

Trophy Guide – Resistance 2
Monday, November 17th, 2008

Resistance 2 is the sequel to the highly-popular PS3 launch title Resistance: Fall of Man.  Insomniac games has done a wonderful job on yet another PS3 exclusive title.  The “three C’s” (Campaign, Cooperative and Competitive) each offer fun and unique experiences, and the trophies represent that.  The majority of the game’s Trophies focus on the [...]

PS3 Review – Mirror’s Edge
Monday, November 17th, 2008

The first time I saw Mirror’s Edge I thought that it wasn’t a title for me to be honest, but that all changed when the demo was released via PSN a couple weeks back. I have never played a title that was like this. I think that is why it intrigued me so much.

Written by Chris Rah Osiris No, it is not the Governator. It is the Official Blog. The blog is back and to be perfectly honest, the changes do not affect the look of the page terribly too much. You are free to like that or not. I like the look. Be sure to keep track [...]

This Week’s Blu-Cast
Sunday, November 16th, 2008

Written by Chris Rah Osiris This week’s Blu-Cast is looking a lot like this weekend’s weather. There is no sunshine and there are intermittent showers. There is a big name title for everyone to rally around, but I’m sure some of you will pass it over because it is a “children’s” movie. I heard Wall-E [...]

PS3 Keypad Coming in December
Friday, November 14th, 2008

Written by Chris Rah Osiris The chatpad/keypad was announced with some mixed reviews. The major issue with the keypad was the price. I won’t lie and say that I love dishing out $50, but I actually am not. So…I can’t gripe about that. I was able to sneak in and get it for $40 during [...]

PS3 Review – Resistance 2
Friday, November 14th, 2008

I am not the biggest first person shooter fan. So for me to enjoy one it has to be pretty good overall. The recent first person shooters that I purchased were of course Resistance: Fall of Man and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Both were fantastic in their own right. The thing is I [...]
