Journey to the Japanese Playstation Home

One of the nice things about the Playstation 3 is that if you’re a fan of imports, the PS3 has no region lockout, meaning that a Japanese PS3 game plays in a US PS3 just fine. You can also, with a little Google searching and a few minutes worth of setup time, set up your own Japanese Playstation Network account, which allows you access to the Playstation Store to try out the latest Japanese demos…

My thoughts on Epic Mickey for Wii

Yes, I played the game with the paintbrush nunhcuk  So wow, I can’t remember the last game I played with reviews as scattered as they are for Disney’s Epic Mickey! Giant Bomb gave it a 2 out of 5. X-Play gave it a 5 out of 5! Who to believe?? Well, I’ve just finished the game myself, and I would definitely agree with Adam Sessler’s review over at X-Play and his 5 out of 5.

The atmosphere, the story, the brain-busting puzzles had my friends and I hooked like mad back in the day. While…

Halloween VGM: Resident Evil 2

Resident Evil 2 is my favorite of the “classic” style of Resident Evil games, and I know I’m not alone as many people still claim the series was at its best with RE2. The earlier games had a great sense of the classic B-movie frights of being trapped in a spooky house (or in the case of RE2, a spooky police headquarters) with the undead. This particular track, simply called The Front Hall, is probably…

Buying virtual things that no one will see

I took yesterday off from work due to feeling like crap, which gave me a lot more time to devote to gaming. Or at least that’s what I thought it would do. As it turns out, I simply devoted my time to doing weird time-wasting activities. Like going into Playstation Home. I hardly ever go there anymore. But the lure of Halloween events was too great, and I had to see what there was to…
