Little Big Planet 2: Expectations
Little Big Planet is one of those rare video games that you come across these days that manages to be many things all at once and get it all right.
For a title that is marketed as a family-oriented platforming game, it is a little bit of a surprise that the game provides a gameplay experience that everyone enjoy. Yet the gameplay is only one part of the experience as Little Big Planet offers a little something that makes it really stand out amongst its peers: the ability to build your own levels and share it with other Little Big Planet players via the PlayStation Network (PSN).
Some might ask what's so special about giving gamers the ability to create at all on a system like the PlayStation 3 (PS3)?
PSP Go: The issue of the digital and the physical
In a world where downloadable films and TV shows are growing in popularity amongst consumers, it comes as a surprise when you encounter new optical media products that do not come with digital copy. These days when you purchase a Blu Ray movie, like Pixar's Monsters Inc., you get a voucher that can be used to download a digital copy of your movie via the Internet.
Is there room for trophies for Valkyria Chronicles?
One of the more polarizing issues I have seen as of late within the Valkyria Chronicles fandom is the notion of incorporating trophies into the game. Since their introduction with Sony PS3 Firmware 2.40 in July 2008, the issue of trophies as source of contention between fans who believe the feature to be useless beyond bragging rights and those who feel that the addition of trophies extend the longevity of the game.
A Bold Idea for the PS3 and PSN
Over the past few months I've had some worries regarding my PS3
. Now, I originally purchased my PS3 back in December 2007, getting the 80 GB with PS2 software emulation. Up until 2 months ago I never encountered any problems aside from some incompatibilities with PS2 games, from the more serious problems playing Tales of Legendia to slowdown encountered when playing graphically intense games like Final Fantasy XII. Problems did occur one night when I turned off the PS3 as per my usual, which was turning it off via the XMB (Cross Media Bar) on the PS3 and then switching the power off from the back switch when the red light lit up at the front. This time I was not as lucky as usual. Somehow during this process the hard drive managed to become corrupt costing me my saves.
