Win a custom Seether PSP + Guest Writing

August 22nd, 2007

Hey guys, sorry about the slow updates over the past week. I have been doing some guest writing recently. Some of which can be seen in the following article:

Games That Defined The Super Nintendo (SNES)

I wrote up the Uniracers and Yoshi’s Island post. So be sure to check them out.

The other thing that I wanted to bring up was a competition that Wind Up Records are holding at the moment to win a free custom PSP. The custom PSP is based off the band Seether. I’m a fan of the band whom actually have quite an interest in games. They had a competition previously based around the Doom III game on the Xbox where you could play against the band. Their music has been featured in several games as well like 1080 Avalanche. To enter the competition just click the link to follow the prompts.

How can one resist? – the PSP

June 10th, 2007

A part of me feels like a fool saying that its hard to resist purchasing a PSP, the other half has already gone out and bought one. I have had a lot of faith in the console but I can’t help but feel a little disappointed with the quality of game releases in the last 6 months. There are enough titles on the system that would warrant me buying one, but only just.

Despite this unfortunate looming problems I can’t help but feel an urgency to buy for 2 main reasons. They are:

1)The two Syphon Filter titles
2)The Final Fantasy Tactics Remake

Now you see, I am a huge fan of the original Syphon Filter games as well as the (true) original FF Tatctics. They are a personal favourite and hold a place in the bottom of my heart.

Only last week at Sony’s Gamers Day Sony announced the 2nd Syphon Filter game for the PSP. Which is absolutely excellent. Supposively Gabe Logan’s partner Lian Xing has gone under cover and has been working against Gabe. This is crazy news!

Check out the trailer:

I felt rather unsatisfied with the GBA iteration of FF Tactics. Sure it was a great game but it had law cards, the graphics and music just didn’t quite fit with the original, the job system had less flow and theres just too much tedious work. I hate that I can’t finish all 300(repetitve battle) missions because I am missing one damn item which I have to go back and repeat one mission in order to (hopefully) get an item to do another mission which may give me the correct item to finish the original mission. UghThe original had the perfect pre-redered animated character sprites(they aren’t really sprites tho as they are taken from bitmaps?), the music that I call ‘Tactics’ music, man that music is just so gorgeous and the gameplay that flows so neatly so that everything interlocks with ease. Uhhh man

final fantasy tactics war of the lions job system psp

Sony have me pinned down on this one. There’s no way that I can avoid these games. No way. Curse you Sony!
