Over the last 2 weeks, I’ve discovered some fascinating things about Demon’s Souls.
Perhaps you have read about the fabled harshness of this game. It is no joke. It is no exaggeration when I tell you that many potential players will walk away from this game in total disgust – in fact, after a fairly short [...]

Let me paint you a picture:
Sony wants Dreamcast games for PSN…
the PSP has already been shown running a DC emulator (albeit a slow one, but this was homebrew)…
most recent PSPs have built-in microphones…
So naturally… the first obvious application would be to run Seaman.
Portable disturbing digital pocketfish. For those important questions that arise in life, you could [...]

It got damn cold in Toronto last week. People wonder why Canadians are so into electronic entertainment; it’s because the weather turns semi-lethal for six months of the year.
Here’s what caught my eye last week:
Microsoft is blocking 3rd-party memory units in the latest Dashboard update [Joystiq]. They are determined to keep an iron grip on [...]

I picked up Demon’s Souls late last week.
I’m going to be blogging about the ongoing experience of playing this game as it’s obvious that it’s an unusually… meaty title. So let me set the stage for you, and why I chose to write about it in parts instead of the usual one-off post.

…and auctioned for 1.1 million dollars.
But, I take solace in the fact that it will eventually break down, and when the proud owner sends it for repair, it will be scrubbed. No matter what.

I imagine that I must have winced.
Yes, that sounds about right. I probably winced when I first saw the PSP Go, when I think back; at least, that expression best encapsulates my impression of the design, in that very fast Blink sort of way. The way that researchers and fancy scientists say you make instant [...]

God of War 3 – it is really a strange feeling to see something as familiar as God of War running on the PS3. Because it looks so familiar, and yet so… crispy. I’ve played a lot of GoW in my day, all of them in fact, and I can tell you that this is [...]

Sony held it’s annual Fall Preview thing at a place called the Burroughs Building, located on Queen West in Toronto. (I thought this place had burned in the fire.) It seems like an unusual choice of venue at first, because the setting is kind of austere, particularly with Microsoft’s propensity to rent out nightclubs. Nonetheless [...]

This was the second surprising appearance of the show for me. According to the lovely EA rep who’s name escapes me at the moment, the game had been in Canada barely a day. Arrayed behind her was a 4-panel system link setup running a build of the L4D2. I say “a build” because even though [...]
