Escape Plan for the Playstation Vita!

by Elias - on Aug 18th 2011 - No Comments

When I saw this trailer, I became quite impressed with this game and who wouldn’t? Portable handhelds such as the Playstation Vita should have more games like these and it seems like Escape Plan uses a lot of the Vita technology, which is good. As of now there is little information other that what you see in the trailer below, but look out for this game and keep checking with us as we get more details on it.

E3 2011: Rockstar Games is working with the Playstation Vita

by Elias - on Jun 7th 2011 - 4 Comments

Rockstar games disappointed us Grand Theft Auto fans once again being that as of now there isn’t any information that leads to a future Grand Theft Auto game. Not to worry though, it seems like they are one of the developers that signed up to develop for Sony’s new handheld, the Playstation Vita, which means that all h0pe isn’t lost. E3 isn’t over just yet, but it seems like Rockstar is sticking to plans on making games other than Grand Theft Auto, which is what they are known for.

If a GTA game makes it to the PS VITA chances are that it will be an exclusive to the handheld, which is something that they did on the PSP with Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories. The games were ported later on to the PS2, but it took them a while to do it. Let’s hope that this is a new game and not a GTA IV port to it if it does happen.

The iPad 2 is coming on March 11!

In case you didn’t already know the Apple iPad is coming our way on March 11 of this year. This time we hope that Apple get’s it right and put some more space on their tablet PC and adds a few better additions to the device such as USB connectivity. The iPad 2 has some competition with other similar devices coming from Dell and Samsung and not to mention that most of the other Tablet PC out there will run on Android, which is far more better that the iPad’s iOS.

So theres a new Playstation Portable coming!

In case you didn’t know, Sony has finally released some awesome screenshots  and videos of what the new Playstation Portable is going to look like plus the specs, which we’ll have below. In getting you guys more information on what to expect from this device, we first want to Analise the device as well as give you our predictions on what we can expect from the new PSP2 entitled the “NGP” to go. We are going to try to keep things positive and we have many good things to say about the PSP2, but we also have to give our critique on it and I know it is too early for us to do this, but hey that is just our opinion.

The original PSP came out back in 2004 in Japan and then in 2005 it was introduced to North America plus other places like in Europe, Asia etc, but were not going to give you PSP history lesson. What we do have to say is that it sold approximately 60 million units since then, which is a great for Sony, but the big question here is: Will the PSP2 do as well as the PSP?  – The answer to that is unknown, but to throw our two cents we feel that it might not do as well as Sony is probably hoping.

The Good!

The PSP 2 is going to be amazing just for the fact that it’s a new device and the technology will be much more updated than the original PSP. The technology seems promising as you will get to run a game like Uncharted on it and if that doesn’t sell it to you, I don’t know what will. The storage capacity is unknown, but well get that to you eventually as it comes. So far what we know about it is that it will have a touchscreen feature similar to smart phones, which means that developers will be making some awesome games in the future now that there going to have a beast like the PSP2. Where the device  gets a chance in the fight with smartphones is that developers that make awesome games like Angry Birds will now get to bring these touch based games on the PSP, which will make it great for casual gamers without loosing that hardcore gamer status.

The Bad!

The original PSP was great for it’s time, but it certainly has been replaced with a much larger fanbase of Smartphone users on the Android Market as well as the Apple iOS that is on the iPhone, iPad, iPods. The Android install base is huge and we are becoming smartphone dependants these days, which is great, but it is also the thing that will kill the Nintendo DS and the PSP or devices of that nature. As consumers we want it all and with the economy as crappy as it is, gamers aren’t going to spend $400 dollars on a PSP2 when they can get an HTC Evo 4G for $150 that has a lot of power and it still works as a phone and GPS.

Overall we will have to wait and see how things shape up for the future we like the idea and as gamers we’ll support it, but Sony has a huge challenge coming when it comes to the PSP2.

Check out the Nintendo 3DS [Japanese Trailer]

by Elias - on Jan 9th 2011 - No Comments

The Nintendo 3DS is going to be really awesome and there are even some rumors about how it will help kids that are developing reading problems detect it early. The packaging looks sexy and the from the looks of this Japanese trailer the 3D features look great, which kinds of hints us that Nintendo might be working on a Nintendo Wii HD that will probably have great 3D capabilities. We don’t want to spoil the trailer for you, so were not going to say more.

Look at the trailers below!

Finally a Windows 7 Phone [Microsoft]

by Elias - on Mar 16th 2010 - No Comments

Microsoft is working on releasing a cool new phone that will probably be the ultimate iPhone killer. This phone does many of the iPhone’s functions, but it will probably be better. Touch screen of course, XBOX Live, Facebook, integration and the best thing of it all Netflix. Your Netflix queue will be on this device which means hours of movies and entertainment for people on the go. Another cool feature is the games feature as it will have the same and probably better than the iPhone and because of the XBOX Live integration most likely you’re achievements will be uploaded to your XBOX Live account for your friends to see.

Here is the video presentation from Microsoft below.
