Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep

• Being able to play as three different characters looks like a wonderful addition.
• New worlds & Characters!!!

I have a feeling this will be my favorite PSP game, easily. Coming out...sometime in the near future, hopefully.

Phantasy Star Portable 2


This looks so good. The first Phantasy Star Portable was enjoyable, but I didn't make that purchase. This one, however, looks like it may be worth it!

PXP-2000

pxp-2000

for around $85, you can have your very own psp-go look-alike. no, it does not play psp games, but it plays virtually any media file, can take and view photos, and emulates nes, snes, gameboy, and genesis games. it comes with 2 gb internal memory and a rechargeable lithium battery. not a bad deal, huh?

Play with your face.

PlayFace is a new website by Sony that showcases players' faces while they're gaming. In slow-motion. The point of this website? I'll get back to you.
It's amusing if you have absolutely nothing else to do.

Hannah Montana PSP & PS3 Slim

Playstation 3 Slim 120 GB
$299, available September 1st

All right, the big announcement! Sony's Playstation 3 is getting a makeover!
While some won't find this very exciting (like myself), most people are very happy with a smaller, more affordable PS3. (I would be, if I didn't own one.)

While price drops are always welcome, it's still disappointing that the PS3 Slim will not play PS2 games. That, and it's not shiny anymore! Seriously, Sony. I like the glamor! I'm sure that the aesthetics won't change anyone's mind, though. It just has a bit more of a subtle look going for it.

Hannah Montana PSP
$199.99

This is old news for the blogging world, but yes, Hannah Montana has even made her way to the Playstation Portable. The horror!

"Bundle includes limited edition "Lilac" PSP-3000 system, Hannah Montana: Rock Out The Show UMD game, Hannah Montana UMD video, 2GB Memory Stick Pro Duo, and PSP vinyl stickers." --Amazon.com

While the Lilac PSP is very nice, everything else is a bit scary. Even the promotion for the product, titled ''Girlz Play Too'' sounds immature and forced. It doesn't seem all that cool.
As some others have mentioned, it sounds like a parent who is trying a bit too hard. It's nice that they're trying to think about what girls might like, but. . . .

The bundle isn't a bad price for what you get, especially for a kid who likes Hannah Montana.
A PSP, UMD game, UMD video, and 2 GB memory stick for 200 dollars is a good deal. The stickers, well, I wouldn't let my kid stick anything on their PSP, but I'm a bit picky about that sort of thing. I'm sure most kids will like them--my cousin can't resist putting flowers and pokemon all over her things.

Other games included in the ''Girlz Play Too'' campaign are

• Pangya Fantasy Golf
• Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
• Loco Roco 2
• Patapon 2

Pangya is a good-looking game, I'll admit. I want it myself. Patapon is very fun, and Loco Roco 2 is decent, but Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs? Are you serious? How does that even qualify as a 'girl game'? Stick a LMAO here. Parents, listen to your kids. I doubt they want this game.


More exciting is the Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines PSP I hear is coming up soon (november?) and the highly-anticipated Dissidia! More on that in September!

First Look // Antiphona no Seikahime

Antiphona no Seikahime for the PSP releases in Japan this October. A musical RPG created by Nippon Ichi, it looks like a relaxing time of good fun. If you liked Disgaea or Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure, then I'd say that this game is a good bet.

A Little Bit About Myself.

So, I've been thinking, what should I blog about? What goes on in my life? What do I like?

And. . . . the answer came to me. The most anti-social, dorky answer ever.
VIDEO GAMES. MY LOVE. YES.

It all started when I was, well, in the womb.
My mother would be resting on the couch, while my father tapped away at the nintendo controller and made Link kick some serious ass in the Legend of Zelda. That's kind of all I listened to as a fetus. I suppose I could always blame that, partially, for my intense love of video games.

Once released into the world, you know, free from stomach constrictions, I would stand next to my father and watch him play video games all the time. I still have images and sounds from the Legend of Zelda, Ultima, and Final Fantasy burned into my brain. Good times.

My father would have his brother, my uncle, stop by often. They would play football on the NES, and of course, I would watch. Heeheehee. By this time, I was 4 to 6 years old, and had already been playing good old Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt. I loved Duck Hunt. That dog was a riot.

Eventually I moved onto the Playstation, Sega Saturn, and things went from there. Mostly I've been a Sony fangirl, but here's a list of consoles I've owned.....
NES, Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, Playstation, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Wii, Nintendo DS, and PSP.

Games that stand out in my memory are: Duck Hunt (NES), Sonic the Hedgehog, Aladdin(SEGA), MYST, Clockwork Knight, Astal, Dragonheart(SATURN), Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy IX, Chocobo Racing, Spyro the Dragon, Xena: Warrior Princess, Evilzone(PSONE), DDR, Guitar Hero, Drakengard, Kingdom Hearts(PS2).

Playstation One has been my favorite console all this time. It pwned. I'm still discovering new Playstation 2 games to play, so my list is a little skimpy there. I won't list anything too recent, because what I like best will be written about.

So, in honor of times spent playing video games for days and hours on end, I start this blog. Happy Birthday, bloggie.

And Welcome.
