Those cheeky little gimps.

So this is the new tagline of the PSP?
'Revolution what now? Isn't that sony?'

Mind you, it's hardly a surprise, this is the company that shafted everyone with E3 Tekken 'demos' that basically lied about the PS2's capabilities.


Ah well, ninty finally get their ass in gear with a bit of advertising, then sony hand them that very same ass, by showing them how cheap media manipulation should be done.

I foresee ninty getting shafted again. Nice guys finish last, and nice guys who are incapable of presenting themselves in a positive light, while nasty guys kick them in the nuts, don't even make it as far as the finish.

I think the nub would be fine if they put it in a sensible place. I really don't understand Sony's problem with having analog as the main method of control.

I mean have you played Smonkey Ball on the PS2? It just isn't the same. I don't think they'll ever learn.

Aye, the analogue thingy isnt really an analogue, it's just a nub that moves along straightly, err, like the analogue thingies are spherical yet this nub thing is just mnuuh.

So yeah, the nub's dogshit.

What games did you play?

My DS has been shrugged into a corner for a while.
But I think Mario Kart and Animal Crossing will change that.

To be fair, that's pretty much my opinion on both systems.

At least Nintendo are trying something new... but other than that...

I played a PSP yesterday.

Can't say I liked the Analogue. It doesn't feel right and the position it has been designed to be in was decided by a monkey.

Obviously graphics are nicer than DS. We all know that.

However, the machine didn't excite me.

My overall opinion of the machine can only be expressed by a shrug.

PS2 is sitting down the hall and I think the X-box has character.

The PS2 is faceless, it has no personalised big hitters nor does he have any real original characteristics, the eye toy helped slightly.

Lacked character, lacked personality. I mean come on, their biggest first party title is Gran Turismo!

The playstation brand, in general, doesn't have anything special about it... their sequels, their franchises are intensely corporate and difficult to have any real affection for.


People buy the playstation for so many different reasons. People buy Microsoft for Halo and Live and that's its sorta characteristic, that's its style. Whilst Nintendo fans have the whole Mario/Zelda thing.

Don't go dragging me into the console war. As far as I am concerned Nintendo are messing us around with stupid new ideas they don't wanna tell us about, Microsoft are releasing an overpriced system too early whilst Sony are set to release another faceless realism clone.

Game industry is dead.
