Playstation Network update time people!

by Elias - on Oct 26th 2010 - No Comments

Sony always delivers with the Playstation Network and with this update you will know what we mean because the Playstation store is yet again getting a huge update that should keep Playstation users glued to their TV’s. In this update there are some low priced deals for fans of of Red Dead Redemption that are Playstation plus members. There are some nice demos to check out as well such as Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, which we talked about yesterday. You can also check out Blacklight: Tango Down trial, but as we said earlier at $14.99 you can’t go wrong with that. Of course we cant forget to check out the demo for Dragon Ball Raging Blast 2 that looks fun, but if we had to choose a favorite demo this week we would have to say that TV Superstars is probably the one that we are the most excited about, so we will have the demo impressions sometime in the week for those that would like to know more. Anyways check out the full update below.

EA Buys the company behind Angry Birds [Biz]

by Elias - on Oct 26th 2010 - No Comments

Electronic Arts is taking over the world and this time they bought brains behind the awesome portable phone game Angry Birds. Let’s hope that the Chillingo doesn’t loose all it’s creativity due to profits as you are going to read in an editorial that we will have up sometime this week. The positive thing behind this business deal is that it probably means more games will be coming to my HTC evo, which is always good. The only worry that I personally have is that because it is EA, they will probably want money for this game and Angry Birds is a free ad supported game, so we’ll have to wait and see.

Europe gets 10 free PSP Go games the USA only 3 -WTF?

by Elias - on Jun 1st 2010 - No Comments

Today were disappointed at Sony for giving Players in Europe a better deal than gamers in North America. If you live in Europe you probably already know that if you buy a PSPGo automatically you get to download 10 free games via the Playstation store. Because this promotion only applies to Europe Sony has decided to shut us up and  give us 3 free games instead. Sony we feel that we’re being short changed not to mention the exclusive games you have in the European store that for some retarded reason you don’t feature on the North American Playstation store yeah games like Out Run.

Anyways above you get to see what this new bundle that Sony is coming up with on a system that is failing faster than American Idol’s William Hung.
