20 Greatest PS2 RPG’s: Dominated by Squaresoft
Posted by Sparky Categories: PlayStation 2, Role Playing Games,
1Up has posted a great feature on the 20 best RPG’s for the Playstation 2. I was quite pleased to see a couple of my favorites listed on there. I was also pleased to see one of my favorite publishers dominating the pack - Square with Final Fantasy X, X-2, XI, Kingdom of Hearts, and Star Ocean - Till the End of Time. While the sentimental gamer in me misses the good old days of FF 3 for the SNES games like Star Ocean - Till the End of Time keep reminding me what a creative publisher can do with a powerful modern console.

Silent Hill Movie Shots
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Action, PlayStation 2, Role Playing Games,
The movie to one of the scariest games ever made is looking good. Seems they are really trying to replicate a lot of the scenery that fans of the game are accustomed to. This is a nice change from the movies that are loosely based on the games content that they are trying to recreate. It will be interesting indeed to see how this one turns out. Check out the pictures from the Photobucket album.

Burnout is one of those games that is just plain fun to play - and keep playing. Its stylized destruction-centric gameplay approach is always a blast – even if you only play it to cause the AI’s cars to crumble into pieces. Burnout: Revenge is the sequel many people are waiting for which will be released later this year for the PS2 and the Xbox. GamePlayMonthly has some nice screenshots of both versions that are looking mighty promising.

Colecovision lovers rejoice, finally someone understands the joy of trying to beat Cabbage Patch Kids (psssst… there’s no end). ThinkGeek does it again with it’s unique Encyclopedia of Game.Machines. The book contains images and anecdotes that should satisfy the retro gamer as well as the current enthusiast, covering consoles, computers, and handhelds. Now, if only someone could understand why I liked the Sega 32X add-on for Genesis. That will forever remain a mystery.

Belkin just introduced a great little product: the Belkin Flip. It’s a mostly run of the mill KVM switcher to enable you to use two computers with a single keyboard, mouse, and monitor - but with excellent industrial design. It’s sized to fit underneath a Mac Mini to enable people with an existing computer to buy a mini and hook it into their existing setup. It seems well designed in that the Flip requires no power, and needs no additional cables - it does everything it needs to do right out of the box, and all in a swank little form factor.

True Crime: Streets of NY
Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Action, Nintendo Gamecube, PlayStation 2, Xbox,
Activision has announced that the sequel to the popular game “True Crime: Streets of LA” is to be followed up in the Big Apple. As a matter of fact, they claim that the streets of Manhattan will be more accurate than any game ever made. To add to the realism, they will even program more Asians in Chinatown, tourists in Times Square, and more. As a resident of New York City, I hope they don’t forget to put street entertainers and people handing out flyers on busy streets. What they can leave out: rush hour traffic.

For the longest time I carried an HP 4355 Pocket PC with me everywhere. I used it like the worlds smartest wallet - I had a leather case for it with a space for credit cards, ID, a spare housekey - the works. Not only could I check my email and browse the web, but I could pay for dinner and get into bars all in one not-so-svelt package. Now a company called iPocket has brought that concept to the iPod with a stick on pouch designed to carry ID, Credit cards, or keys with your iPod. The iPocket also has the bonus feature of helping to protect the back of your iPod from scratches. At $3.99 for a full sized iPocket, and $2.99 for an iPocket mini, there is no reason why not go go buy one! Heck - I’m buying a few just so I can stick one on the back of my current PDA, as well as on a few other gadgets I carry with me frequently. The iPocket is available in six shades.

Slashphone has posted one of the cooler RAZR concepts I’ve seen in a while. The designer is really onto something here. I’m suddenly almost wishing the Franklin would have a form factor like this. Make it a candy bar-style form in your pocket (much narrower than the current Franklin) that could be used to receive calls. To dial or use the Windows Mobile features, slide it out for a full keyboard. Are you listening Motorola?
