bah one or two good games from Square and the rest are ports from the PS2 - and as such are not console minded games. Pretty looks, but not hte heart to its games

It's the first MMO I've ever played. We'll see if I still around past the first "free" month.

I am really enjoying it, and I already feel as though I've gotten my $20 worth. For basically the price of a night out at the movies, or a DVD, I got a weekend's worth of fun gaming.

The PSP is practically worth it just for EEE and Lumines.

I rather like the PSP, when I get a chance to play on it (i.e steal it from my brother). But the DS and the Wii are cool -- I like these more interactive consoles (I've always enjoyed Zelda on the Nintendo 64, especially the little nuances like fishing, so to have to actually make the movements of fishing, firing arrows etc is awesome).

Although I know the DS and Wii are not for serious gaming. However, I'd also like to tack onto this that I love aiming and firing at zombies, taking off heads, kneecapping them, with the remotes on the Wii in Resident Evil.

I am a sadistic gamer indeed.

Now why do I think we've had this conversation, with the same responses, before?

I like this guy Lenny. Can we keep him?

Please...?

Except, didn't they make the case shiny at one point? I believe my bro-in-law said they did, and people found their hands slipped around after long hours of gaming... eew...

But both my bro-in-laws have lovely black PSPs (unless one of them is white... I can't recall). I have to admit, it is a snazzy machine.

, we might have Lenny we might have


ps - Anyone seen that new tank-squade-anime game for the PS2/3 yet (I forget which it is on)

[Commonmind]

Valkyria Chronicles? If so, yes, and I can't wait for it.

[Lenny]

It's always been a glossy case, Leish. Gloss = Class. Not like those matte finish DSessesses.

Don't know whether it was the case that made hands slip, or the analogue stick.

That's what worries me, DD...that it'd be too much fun to give up on after a month.

I have little enough time to play all the games I want as it is!!

I hear ya.

I am kind of hoping it becomes "my game," that is, the only game I need for a long, long time. That way, once I get around to the other games, I can get them for less money.

Actually, I'm thinking of just signing up for Gamefly. I really don't see the need of owning games anymore.

I'm selling off my "collectors" games on ebay soon (including a mint copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga, if anyone wants to buy it, pm me).

I rarely beat games anymore (no time) and so I think Gamefly is a good idea.

Or could it have been the ultra-slick gaming experience the PSP offers?

[Lenny]

There's allllways one clever guy, ain't there?

Don't forget it's not just a gaming experience, though - media, too, particularly when connected to the PS3. I don't know if you've read about it, but Blu-ray Profile 2.soemthing is coming in a firmware update at the tail end of the year, and it will allow us to rup Blu-ray films to the PS3 hard drive and then transfer them to the PSP!

Hmm, I have Football Manager as 'my game', but because it's a sports game, it doesn't serve as the only game I need.

I still crave a bit of fantasy RPG, for one thing. And that's just for starters...


I just looked up Gamefly, but it's not for us across the pond, it seems.

I still suffer from the obsessive compulsion to beat whatever I'm playing into the dirt, unfortunately. It can get frustrating at times...
