Moving into Uncharted Territory

Uncharted: Drakes Fortune review
Ok, so if you have not heard of this game made by Naughty Dog, I suggest you check it out. The game has very nice platforming elements and adventure aspects to it. The combat in the game is solid, but not the best. You basically hide behind cover and try to kill the enemies. There are some parts where i get frustrated at the combat, but overall, its a good experience. The story in the game kept me going the whole time. I had no complaints about the platforming. The puzzles are easy since they basically spell it out for you, but they are somewhat interesting. After playing Uncharted, i am very excited to see what they do next, may I suggest Jack and Daxter?. Anyways, this is a solid game and a reason to pick up a PS3 if you haven't already, I know there are many of you out there. I guess my final take on the game will have to be 9/10, its good for what it is, but its not perfect. Nevertheless, this one is a must buy.

New episodes are comming....

sorry for the lack of new episodes, i am really busy, but i did not forget about this, so expect one soon. You would think with all the games coming this month, we would have put up an episode or 2. Well, sorry, but we are working on the stuff. Things are pretty good around here, i am looking forward to Uncharted, nicks still playing WoW, and Mike still Hates PS3. Well, check back here for some stuff and maybe we can get some heated argument

Guitar Hero 3 excitments!!!!

Guitar Hero 3 did come out yesterday and i picked it up at the midnight launch obviously, lol. Anyways, i just beat it on hard and i must say it is more challenging than the previous 2 games. at the end of hard, trying to beat devil went down to georgia was tough, but i managed to pull it off miraculously. The song list overall is quite the improvement over rocks the 80's. Through the fire and flames is next to impossible on expert, i have tried. Anyone who enjoyed the previous versions should definitely pick it up. I recommend the "next gen" versions (ps3/360) for the better online modes and co-op. If you did not move on to "next gen" (wii/ps2), then you should still play the game even though you will be selling yourself short. It is still better than not playing it i guess. Anyways, dont forget to check this game out and thanks for visiting the site. Feel free to comment. (final verdict 9.5/10)

Reviews for the week

Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (PS3)

What can I say about ratchet and clank? It is a fun game and this one goes back to the roots of the series. The story is about ratchet discovering the past of his people, since he is the only lombax left. The characters are familiar and good as well. The game play is fantastic, implementing a lot of the PS3’s items including SIXASIS control with the tornado launcher and freefalling and other stuff. This game looks about as good as it plays. I have to give Insomniac credit for putting out two games in 11 months from launch, which is impressive since they don’t suck, far from it actually. This is definitely worth the pick up and I highly recommend it.

The verdict - 9.5/10



Hannah Montana: Music Jam (DS)

Most people don’t expect a Hannah Montana game to be good, unless you are a 12 year old girl, then they think it’s the best thing ever. But this game is a turn around from the last one allowing you to play instruments in a guitar hero type situation, only you get drums and bass as well. This game does allow you to record your music you create, giving it added bonus. I found the story to be quite boring, maybe because it is me, but it lacked a lot of depth. Anyways, for the music features, I will give it a decent rating, but the story was lacking (surprise) so it will not be too high.

The verdict – 7.5/10

PS3 to PSP connectivity via Remote Play

Here are some pictures of remote play at work




Make sure you are in Remote play mode on both PSP and PS3


End Result: PS3 media running on PSP, all you need to do is leave your ps3 on in remote play mode and connect to it using any wifi connection in the world, so you can view all your pictures, music, and videos from yuor PS3 and PC (via media server connectivity) anywhere in the world with wifi (cant play games unfortunately, but I understand why not). only downside is you have to leave your PS3 on in remote play mode and leave your PC on if you want those files too.
