Excitement builds for the PS Vita

noreply@blogger.com (Cheesydevil) — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 03:26:00 +0000

With just over a week left until the Aussie release of Sony PlayStation's exciting new handheld the PS Vita Australians are ecstatic at the chance to finally get their hands on a portable platform for real gamers, titles like Uncharted: Golden Abyss are sure to fly off the shelf.

Naturally as one of these Aussie gamers I am united in the enthusiasm and looking at February 28th as a new day for handheld consoles when people might move away from this app based gaming obsession that has put real games on the back shelf. The only question is; can Sony pull it off?. Reviews so far are mixed but Australians have always been enthusiastic about our friends from Japan and I have no doubts that this console will be something beautiful.

On Sony PlayStation's Youtube channel you can check out an excellent advertisement that I felt really highlighted what the PS Vita is all about, with great AAA titles and the ability to play them comfortably with dual analogue sticks the only way this could be a monumental fail would be some sort of apocalyptic event, unless you are an avid fan of new age consipiracy/fantasy then I would say drop your money on one when it launches here and let the good times roll.

Check out the advertisement.

Will Australian TOR players get a free switch?

noreply@blogger.com (Cheesydevil) — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 03:06:00 +0000

It was announced back in December of 2011 that Australia and New Zealand would indeed be getting the much loved MMORPG from Bioware Star Wars: The Old Republic sometime in march if all goes well and it has even been hinted that importers of the game may be given some option to change to a local server.
Stephen Reid Senior, Online Community Manager made this post on the official community forums back in December:

"We can confirm that Star Wars: The Old Republic will be launching in Australia and New Zealand in the spring of 2012.

Right now we are targeting March 1st, but that could change as our number one priority is making sure that customers have a great service to play on.

For those of you who may have already imported the game, we will be investigating solutions to allow you to continue to play on a local server once they come online in March.

EDIT: As pointed out, southern hemisphere seasons are reversed! When we say 'Spring' you can substitute 'Q1/Q2 2012'. Apologies for that".

That news is rather old but as someone who finally decided to take the dip and import now rather than wait it is somewhat comforting, though from what I have seen so far playing on U.S servers does not seem to be a huge problem. If Bioware does decide to allow this for free TOR players here in the oceanic would certainly be grateful and may even forgive the fact that game was not released here simultaneously with North America.

Guess who's back?

Making Skyrim even better

noreply@blogger.com (Cheesydevil) — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 09:15:00 +0000

The Internet is abuzz with TES V: Skyrim reviews singing it's praises, meanwhile the official modders tools have not even been released yet but the modders community is already hard at work creating new textures and pleasing sick unsatisfied nerds with "new skins" for females within the game. Anyway here are some of the ones I have been using over the past few days.

It would seem that with the inception of every new game you'd think more developers would want to explore the vast spectrum of human emotions, but they don't. Every now and then some brave developer decides to make a game like Heavy Rain that makes us as gamers feel

Xbox 360s ageing DVD format

noreply@blogger.com (Cheesydevil) — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 03:03:00 +0000

With the release of Battlefield 3 and the surprise of an optional 1.5GB HD update in order for our Xbox 360 versions to look on par with its counterpart on Ps3, one can only wonder how big their hard drive might need to get by the end of next year.

For many Xbox 360 owners this is not such a big problem as they will have

Licensed games: something to be excited about

noreply@blogger.com (Cheesydevil) — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 08:52:00 +0000

Batman dominates all media

There was a time when the very words "movie licensed game" could only be uttered as a pretence to words like, underwhelming, poor, cash cow or just plain crap. Moving on to our modern day though and we have seen quite a few licenses go to good use in the right hands and very many are even expanding upon the movies
which they were based.

The Old Republic Collectors Edition: "only what you take with you"

noreply@blogger.com (Cheesydevil) — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 01:16:00 +0000

Bioware has announce on The Old Republics official website not only what will come with Pre-ordered versions of the game but also what's inside the announced Digital Deluxe version and also a collectors edition for those who prefer something more solid. The Collectors edition obviously is the premium copy and includes several digital items for download (from the digital deluxe edition) as well as the physical journal of Jedi master Gnost-Dural, Darth Malgus statue, Official game soundtrack, A map of the The Old Republic galaxies, and a mysterious Security key for which my best bet is that it can transport you into any one of the Star Wars movies.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is sceduled for release 20/12/2011.

Graphics vs Gameplay The ultimate showdown

noreply@blogger.com (Cheesydevil) — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 01:42:00 +0000

With Rumours of next Generation consoles around the corner a never ending debate in gaming culture looms up out of the darkness once more, Graphics vs Gameplay.

Many people simply settle with the opinion that both graphics and gameplay are important but then along comes a game like Minecraft, which looks terrible by todays standards, to blow away those preconceptions.

The most important thing to note though is that it depends on what's driving the game, could Gears of War or Uncharted have been the action orientated masterpieces they were without stunning graphics in the mix?
