Apparently Tetsuhiko Yatsuda of SCE Asia has announced that users of the upcoming gaming behemoth PlayStation3 will be able to download the games directly to their consoles via a special “service” provided by Sony. He claims this will cut down on the piracy that is so rampant in Asia. Sure. See how well it worked out for Valve and Steam. There’s absolutely no cracked Half Life 2 or Counter Strike Source copy out there. Whatever. Read more here.

A new “Breed” of…
… crap, that is. The game itself was rumoured to be somewhat of a “Halo-killer”, and turned out to be a total fizz. I managed to get this one, and when I did install it unwillingly, and ran it, the game returned a “Unable to create a depth buffer” error. This to you means that the game requires a true T&L gfx card to even run. To me it means another total waste.
Oni finished! woohooo!
Definitely Bungie’s best work to date, before MS snapped it up, and I managed to complete it. If you don’t have this classic, get it off torrents now, or better yet just buy it. The storyline was relatively weak, but the combat is the best I’ve ever seen in a game. Konoko can pull off stunning moves and combos, and they are’nt too tough to master either.

There’s a god, and his name is …
… Rockstar. When I got interfaced to my first ever GTA game, back in 2001, the GTA2, I was amused, but lets say, not taken aback. GTA2 had violence, cursing and vehicular man-slaughter, everything a game should’ve. But it did this with an interface not much better than the Frogger of days of yore. It was with this man’s vision, that DMA morphed into Rockstar North, a fresh new breath of life was pumped into the GTA franchise, and…
Shiny’s Dave Perry exits…
With Atari biting the dust yet again, (what is that, the 25th time this year alone?) their sister concerns have started to feel the heat. Shiny, the people who gave us the most underrated games of this side of gaming, the MDK 1&2, and unfortunately the Matrix games too, will be taking the fall, as their frontman Dave Perry has left the company to pursue other goals. Personally, I think Atari or Infogrames, or whatever it is called now, should just shut shop, or sell itself to Microsoft now, while they can with some grace. Anyway I’ve always liked this guy’s efforts and views on gaming, and it’s pretty sure that whatever-is-left-of Atari was holding him back. Here’s a small bio of him at MG. Good luck to ya, Dave, maybe you could put MDK3 into motion…
