I agree with the general sentiment in this post, and think blaming devs is unfair (especially since they work under time and business contraints that they didn't set themselves), but I still think MS and Sony deserve a little bit of flak for the whole marketing rush centered on the "HD" moniker...

Anyone expecting the exclusives ratio for the PS3 to be as lopsided as it was for the PS2 is dreaming, pure and simple. Nearly every large Western producer is multiplatform for easy to understand cost reasons (with a couple titles being moneyhatted), and the situation is even worse on the...

Like Devil May Cry, Ace Combat and Ridge Racer, right ? :roll:

I recently bought a Synology DS-207+, and it's a pretty nice NAS solution. I put two 750GB disks in it, in RAID1. The box has good performances, and the management interface is pretty nice. Since the latest FW upgrade, it communicates well with all my media devices in the house : PS3 (using...

I'm really glad to see the two high profile PSP titles (GoW and FFCC) do well, especially since both are excellent games that really wouldn't have deserved the generally low PSP SW sales.

I've had similar experiences : the racing is very fun, with the new tracks being pretty well designed, the wheel works well (I brought the console with two wheels at my office on friday, we had a blast during lunch time), but I didn't like the team-based battle mode.

Tried it tonight, and the PS3 audio output in PSP Remote Control is definitely extra neat. Now, I can use my PS3 as a music player with my projector turned off, streaming audio from my NAS. Between that and the multi-DVD/BD resume feature, this is an excellent update as far as media playing...

You can already set up the PS3 to wake up when the PSP remote control function starts.

That's a feature I was disappointed not to see when I played a bit with Remote Play. Really glad to see it in, the PSP is a pretty awesome remote for the PS3.

Just came home with a brand new PS3 Movie Pack. I got a pretty neat deal from my supermarket, which shaved the price by nearly 50€. Also, Sony is currently running a promotion where they reimburse you 50€ if you buy 5 Blu-Rays from a variety of studios and a PS3 before the end of April (or 100€...

IGN has a retrospective of old D&D / AD&D computer games : http://uk.retro.ign.com/articles/857/857143p1.html

RIP, M. Gygax. AD&D is home to some of my fondest pen&paper RPG memories...

Actually, I think Microsoft has been treating EU customers pretty well this generation, unlike both Sony and Nintendo. Most releases (at least all big ones) are here day 1 or at most one week after (which renders Nintendo's translation/legislation excuses null and void), the console shipped in...

Pretty nice bundles, price is sweet. I'll probably bite for the Movie Bundle, although I already have 300 on HD-DVD.

Looking at the current PSP software sales, one could imagine that the PSP already fits the "multimedia device that also happens to play games" bill...
