Just a Heads Up



Just a quick note on whats going on. First of all I'm moving so I've been pretty busy to update the blog. I just wanted to make every one aware of whats going on. But second I bought a few games off of the PSN like Pixel Junk Monsters, Go! Sports Skydiving, Syphon Filter, and the original Warhawk. I'm not going to give a review of these games, but will give a quick insight on whether or not you should buy them. First up Pixel Junk Monsters. This is kind of expensive at $10 but at launch was $6.99 which was when I bought it. This game is good but hard its kind of like a puzzle game where you set up your towers of weapons and creatures walk through and you hope your guns kill them before they reach you base. Overall its good but cant really recommend it.

Go! Sports Skydiving is one of the most anticipated Go! games and at $5 you really cant complain. The game only uses the SixaxiS just like Go! Sports Ski but worse. You have to get in certin positions and this requires goofy as hell controller movements. First of all the controller is supposed to be flat in your hands where R1 and L1 face your T.V. then to rotate your character your supposed to be able to just rotate it (counter) clockwise, but to my frusration you have to flick it and hold so it gets in the position. I cant even tell you how many times I go into a spinning frenzy. Then you have to pull the controller toward you air plane style and your guy goes up or down. This game is ok if your a fan of the ski game, but if your not then I wouldn't check this out other than that has lots of modes and could be worth it if you can handle the controls.

Syphon Filter and (PSX) Warhawk. Syphon Filter is a awesome the game, graphics, sound, and gameplay are very well done and with the Type 4 controls works extremely well on the PSP. If you were looking for a game to buy off the PSN thats a PSX game then Syphon Filter Should be it! On the other hand warhawk is not so good. The game looks like poo (PSX launch title) and the real life people doing the cut scenes its not worth it. Also to add insult to injury it doesn't use a memory card it uses the codes that we all know and hate (ahh Zombies ate my neighbors comes to mind). This is not a game you want for PSP especially since the codes you have to remember are 8 buttons long. In the end check out Syphon Filter and avoid (PSX) Warhawk like the plague!

Those were good times... remember the chainsaw guys/jason chasing us in the hedge level... good times. Too bad we didn't beat the game.
