Ad slip – PSP4000 incoming?
Oops! A recent ad for some LittleBigPlanet PSP accesories slipped up and mentioned the PSP-4000, adding fuel to the rumor fire of yet another PSP coming out. The question is, do we really NEED another revamp on the PSP? Does this mean the Go is a complete failure (correct answer is “yes”)? Negative Gamer got […]
Lunar: Silver Star Harmony gets “sexy” limited edition
Why in the world would you release the same damn game 3 times on 3 different platforms? Because it’s Lunar that’s why! Lunar’s glory dates back to the Sega CD days when the GameArts classic was localized and published by Working Designs. It also happens to be the first game that I ever purchased with […]

Dante’s Inferno = God of War
So, yesterday the demo for Dante’s Inferno hit the PSN Store. Of course I had to download it. I mean, it’s supposed to be just like God of War and I love me some God of War. Well, they were right. It is like God of War. Actually, it is a blatant rip off of […]
Victor Ireland’s Gaijinworks to help Sunsoft in the US
Some of you may remember Mr. Ireland from his glory days as head of the greatest video game publisher of all time; Working Designs (that’s fact people… deal with it)! These days, he’s pretty quiet.
