Lid Officially Lifted on the PSP2, Codenamed: NGP

Today in Tokyo, Sony announced a brand new handheld device. Seemingly the PSP2, but currently named the NGP (Next Generation Portable), and it looks sweet. Dual analog sticks? Yes please. Check out all the details below. Well, all the details besides a price. Which I believe it'll be well over $300, just look at these specs.

Playstation Store Weekly Update for 01/25/11

I've been playing too much DC Universe Online to even remember that the Playstation Store updated today. After looking at the list of new content though, there really isn't anything all that special. Although, if you haven't already picked up the games listed on this weeks big sale, then you're in for a treat. Check it out.

DC Universe Online Voice Chat Issues Are Finally Addressed

If you've been following the official PS3 forums, then you'll probably know that SOE hasn't really communicated to the fans that there was even an issue with their voice chat services. Though every DCUO player will tell you that when the player volume exceeds low capacity on the servers, voice chat hardly (if ever) works. We've finally got some confirmation that a fix is coming.

DC Universe Online Recieves EU Server Side Fixes, US Coming Soon?

The EU servers were brought down today in order to throw a few glitches out the window, some of which are pretty significant. Now, I don't usually post about EU news but there are a few things listed that caught my eye. I'd be expecting the US servers to get these fixes sooner than later.

Click below to view the detailed information on what was changed with this downtime. Things just keep getting better for DCUO!

Little Big Planet 2 Thoughts / Collectors Edition Unboxing!

It has finally arrived! The long awaited sequel to Little Big Planet. Bringing with it a crazy amount of new content to experience. Along for the ride is every single level that was previously published by fan creators from the original game. So now there's, what? over 3 million levels to play? Yeah. I'm down.

My thoughts on the game so far are posted below, as well as a super-sweet video from a friend of mine: A complete guide to everything you get if you purchase the collectors edition of Little Big Planet 2.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Announced, Plus Teaser Trailer

Please, just gimme my Versus XIII. I was a fan of Final Fantasy XIII, but not THIS much. I actually think the majority of fans liked it significantly less than I did!

Well, either way I look at it, FFXIII-2 is coming. Square-Enix tells us that it'll be available winter this year, whether that means in Japan or NA, it's anyone's guess. I've included the spectacular teaser trailer below, it gave me goosebumps, so perhaps this could turn out okay.

Smallville Re-Watch / Jitters and Rogue

Smallville's premiere season has it's fair share of excellent episodes. Even after re-watching them plenty of times over the years, there are a few that stand out from the bunch. Jitters and Rogue being a couple of them. Jitters opens up the story of "level-3" and Lionel Luthor's krypto-experiments. While Rogue let's us see what could truly happen if Clark's secret fell into the wrong hands.

Playstation Store Weekly Update for 01/18/11

Had some issues posting this yesterday, plus Little Big Planet 2 has taken over my life. Along with DC Universe Online. Mass Effect 2 also came out yesterday on blu-ray, as well as digital form on this weeks update. I'm a little surprised to see this, though I guess they really want to get PS3 consumers hooked on this whole Mass Effect thing. I'm not sold on it yet, though I will be picking it up in the coming months. I still have way too much to do in DCUO and LBP2. Full content from this weeks update is right below. Also, thanks for using the poll on the right side of the page, nice to see people actually using a new site feature.

New Site Schedule In Effect / Also, rumors!

Due to increased traffic to the site, I've decided to begin running this thing on a proper scheduling system. It'll be for the best. This way, visitors can just show up at certain days of the week to get whatever they are looking for, rather than sorting through the last weeks content just to search for a show or gaming related article. I figure this site needs a little structure.

The schedule (currently) is going to be as follows:

DC Universe Online Growing Pains

It's okay to be frustrated today. It's Sunday afternoon/night and you got your copy of DCUO. You have the weekend off and you're ready to play, yet... the servers have been down for the better part of Sunday. Although SOE should of had better communication with it's fans, server downtime early on in an MMO's life-cycle is a necessary evil. Why? Read on.

More Tips And Tricks For DC Universe Online

I've decided to continue with my "Beginners Guide To DCUO" with a handy tips guide. Here you'll be able to read all about the various chat functions, information on stats, and how the different colored loot works. Stuff every DCUO player absolutely needs to know.

Beginners Guide To The World Of DC Universe Online

DCUO released on the 11th of January, and since then I've put in lots of hours of gameplay, costume editing, chatting, questing, alerts, grouping, and much more. I now believe that I've played through enough of the content to write my thoughts about the game so far.

This will also be a complete beginners guide to the first few hours of the game, as well as detailed information on the games features, or at least, that's what this post turned into.

Playstation Store Weekly Update for 01/11/11

Been extremely busy playing DC Universe Online today, but I found a little time to post this weeks PSN update. There's a huge amount of PSP Little Big Planet price drops, a new episode of Qore, and some Nine Inch Nails tunes for Guitar Hero. Other than those I don't really see anything all that special. Check out the complete list of content posted from the Official Playstation Blog right below.

Don't Own A PS3? Get One. Right Now. Before It's Too Late!

With all of the top quality PS3 games (most exclusive to the PS3) planned for 2011, you no longer have an excuse not to have a PS3 sitting in your living room. You will be laughed at and/or punched in the face if you let these excellent PS3 titles pass you by as the new year rolls on. Seriously, I'll laugh and it could get violent.

Playstation Store Weekly Update for 01/04/11

Beginning with this new year of 2011 I'm going to be posting the weekly Playstation 3 Store updates right here on this site. I think it's a great way to keep new gaming content continuously posted.

The first Store update for the new year is rather ho-hum though, in my opinion. There might be a few things in there for someone out there, but I'm certainly not interested in anything this particular update has to offer. Click below to see the full list of content.

DC Universe Online Beta-Ending Event Tomorrow

What a ride it's been being able to test the PS3 DCUO beta for the past few weeks. So happy I picked up PS+ from the Playstation Store so I could be apart of this wonderful community of DC and MMO fans. Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) are wrapping up the beta testing tomorrow with a special event just before the beta servers are shut down.

It'll be heroes versus villains in a final showdown where you can fight alongside your favorite characters, as well as some special guests. Check out the official information below.

More Photos Of The Rumored Playstation Phone

With Sony's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) going on tomorrow in Lost Vegas, perhaps we're getting some serious hints as to what Sony is about to officially reveal. Sony representatives haven't outright denied the existence of this new Playstation product as of yet, so it just further enhances the rumors that these pictures are in fact, real.

Smallville Re-Watch / First "Freak of the Week" Episodes From Season 1

It must of been incredibly fun in the writer's room coming up with the high-school super-students throughout season 1. I believe the majority of it's episodes are created to show the new fans what this glowing green meteor rock can do under the right conditions, and at the same time showcasing Clark's super-human abilities. Metamorphosis, Hothead, X-Ray, and Cool are the four episodes that proceeded the Pilot and they'll be discussed in this lengthy post.
