No gaming for me this weekend.  I spent my weekend at a horror convention here in Orlando and had one hell of a time.  On the good side of things I got to hang out with the freaky cyberpunk friends of mine like Laura who're always fun:

On the other hand if I saw any more zombie Michael Jacksons running around I was about to go Resident Evil on them:

But yeah, good spooky horror costumey fun for everyone.  Can't beat it.  Though frankly I saw way too many zombies.  Seriously, fuck Zombies. I'm sick of seeing them in movies, games, and everything else.  Let's move on to slime creatures or something.

I need to catch up on a ton of reviews so they are all coming now, they will be fast and sweet. Ask questions in the comments sections.

I'm pulling mine down from GS to post them here, so sorry for flooding you out a little.

A ranking system huh? Might need to check it out.

Oh, and if we're having a review off, I might need to finish the scores of unfinished reviews I have. And the published ones.

It's entertaining.  It's like a review-off between you

I wrote a script to port my reviews over with the site.  Suckers

Well, I'm leaving half of them over there (that are not worthy. I think I'm done for now.

I found the default controls to be acceptable, so I did not monkey wih them. I checked out the GUI changes etc... and thought I'd fool around with them, and while I think every FPS should have that level of customization, ultiamtely I was happy with the choices they made. (I did bring up the gamam levels in some stages).

Oh damn, you should try maxing out everything, its scary how good you can get the basic aiming.

Reggie on PSPGo

'The executive offered that he thinks the device may have a "fundamental concept problem in terms of 'Who's it for?' and 'What's the benefit?' "

"I have the utmost respect for all our competitors," he said, "but it's interesting to try and answer the consumer question of 'What's in it for me?' in that product."'

Do any of you know anyone who is even considering getting the Go? I'm still wondering who it is for.

It is as if this product is coming from the electronics side of Sony rather than SCE. I waonder what Kaz really thinks about it.

SEGA UK Managing Director:

At the same time we entered into an exciting partnership with Platinum Games, the first result of which was MadWorld - a fantastic, innovative, original game, no doubt about it."

He went on to insist that the publisher reaped enough rewards from the game's sales to allow it to "invest in high quality, new IP" on an ongoing basis, and that it was an experiment that would be repeated."

You may remember that Platinum had already made MadWorld without SEGA's involvement and that there was some rumor about SEGA's push for hardcores gamers being defined by what Platinum had delivered (rather than some creative choice at SEGA).  

Even though MadWorld did not perform well I think it was good for SEGA's relationship with Platinum (gives SEGA the upper hand moving forward).  Plus Platinum kind of owes them now.

That's what I thought about the deal, SEGA must have been fawning over getting such a reputable arthouse dev.
