Brand new and fresh from the mind of the genius that is Hideo Kojima here is Castlevania, but not as you know it… If you didn’t know then please hang your head in shame.

Unboxing of the Slim PS3 by Game Videos

Jehrome — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 15:01:29 +0000

Sony recently announced a new model of the PS3; named PS3 Slim. Sony says the new model will have the exact same functionality as the PS3, but is 33% smaller, 36% lighter and comes with a 120GB hard drive. They say the internal architecture has been completely redesigned “from the main semiconductors and power supply unit to the cooling mechanism.”

It’s powered by a new 45nm version of the Cell processor, which runs at the same speed as the 60nm processor in the PS3 but is smaller and more energy efficient, which gave Sony the feasibility to completely redesign the inside. Not only has the inside been changed but the texture of the outside has a new finish which gets rid of the annoying finger prints which are left on the current PS3! (If you own one you’ll know what I’m talking about). It will be available on September 1st in Europe and North America for 299 Euros.

Dead Fantasy V

Jehrome — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 09:38:26 +0000

Have you ever imagined what it would be like for a Fantasy Girl like Tifa, to have a fight with a Dead or Alive girl like Hitomi…Aside from the fact this would make you a little wierd, Dead Fantasy is a short film broken into a couple of clips where Dead or Alive girls fight Final Fantasy girls, so there’s no need to imagine it anymore! There is a story underneath all the fighting but its hard to know what’s going on without any voice acting, but regardless the fighting is amazing. The choreography is insane! And this guy is self-taught…

His deviant art is here and If you want to watch the first 4 of Dead Fantasy, go here.

Gran Turismo 5 Official Trailer

Jehrome — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 15:50:06 +0000

I’m starting to get impatient, waiting for this game to be released is like a slow death! I need a new GT in my life! Prologue was amazing, but it was just a teaser and it’s made me even more hungry for GT5. This new trailer shows off some of the new aspects featured in GT5: Damage, Nascar, WCR etc. Also the graphics look real…when I say real, I mean real!

Bayonetta E3 Gameplay

Jehrome — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 14:45:51 +0000

This game looks nuts! Hideki Kamiya, the creator of Devil May Cry, is directing this new beauty and he’s obviously living up to his reputation! The game has crazy combat and I’m liking the main character…Hideki also thought it would be appropriate to flash some boob and arse shots of the new heroin, why not eh?! Oh yeh, by the way the game runs at 60fps! With these graphics, the game is going to look too much!

You know what, this looks like it’s going to be one of my most all time favourites next to Devil May Cry. I can’t believe how amazing this game looks!

The Last Guardian Debut Trailer

Jehrome — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 14:25:09 +0000

Remember that amazing trailer for the next Team Ico game, Project Trico? An updated trailer has been released at E3 and the game is now officially called the Last Guardian. I cannot wait to get my hands on this game, Team Ico never fail to impress and I doubt they ever will. Another reason why you need a PS3!

Final Fantasy XIV Online Trailer

Jehrome — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 13:44:15 +0000

Square are pumping out the Final Fantasy’s! We’ve got XIII coming to PS3 and 360, Versus XIII coming to PS3 and now XIV coming to PS3; which is an MMO and MMO’s take a lot of work to maintain.

Now I’ve dabbled in the world of MMO’s and at the moment, World of Warcraft is the most popular MMO ever. However before the popularity of WoW destroyed every MMO in sight, Final Fantasy XI was at the top. I’m excited to see where Square are going to go with this, especially considering they already have experience in the field and are still adding expansions to FFXI which was released about 7years ago! Now when your still addding content to a 7year old game you know your commited! So hopefully the same will happen with this new iteration to the MMO genre.

God of War III

Jehrome — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 13:25:35 +0000

God of War is easily one of the reasons you should have a PS2, now Sony just gave you one to have a PS3. No need to say more, just watch. The first video is a stage demo where the gameplay is cut short, it carries on in the next; So watch both!

Assassin’s Creed 2 Developer Walkthrough

Jehrome — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 13:04:42 +0000

Theres been so much content from E3, it’s hard to keep up witht he posts! But your going to see a lot of posts regarding said content in the next few days. Now I liked Assasin’s Creed 1, it was a bit repetitive but the enviroments and exploration made it interesting. They seem to be keeping the same formula with 2 but addding a lot more flexibility to the gameplay and it looks sick!

PSP Go!

flownerds — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 15:46:17 +0000

Sony have done a pretty good job keeping thier new PSP Go! behind closed doors, and that was until …yesterday. Here are the leaked images and information about the PSP Go!

Well looking at it straight up, it looks kinda chunky funky, which is more of a nintendo thing? It’s abit too smooth and round, not really a design I would expect from Sony with their PSP. But it has much more qualities than what first meets the eye.

This isn’t a replacement for the PSP 3000, but it’s a whole new product. Both will be available on the market. The PSP Go! as its name suggests, doesn’t take UMD discs, everything is digital, and you purchase games for the PS Store and it allows you to merge games with your PS3, taking your gaming with you. The 3.8 inch display allows you to see more on-screen with all controls hidden until you slide it up. its 43% lighter than the PSP 3000 (which was a hell of a heavy hand-held console!), 16gb on board flash memory, memory stick micro slot and PS Network and PS3 support. Looking good then!
