Jazz Jackrabbit headed to GBA this year, but I still remember playing it on PC at the neighbors'.
So I had this weekend project where I rediscovered my Playstation 2 library and decided to play a couple of the games. After some tweaking the games look good and I am enjoying playing some old favorites, and some games I didn't even play. The PS2 has become a new console to me again and this is what I will probably be playing for a bit.
Happy Monday Pixlbit Nation. So we are starting August and the summer is almost over. Of course here in my little piece of Southern California that means crazy triple digit heat and I’m at the point where I want to start knocking out more games off Mount Backlog. Since I haven’t given a games played update in a couple of weeks its time to catch up and see how July went.
Pixlbit Nation how are you folks doing today? How was your July 4th? Anything fun happen? I spent time with the family, ate some cow, and watch TV. Yup there was a lot going on. My neighbors had a quiet time with a few fireworks and then the geniuses across the street in the other community decided to shoot their guns in the air. Yes these folks don’t understand how gravity works and those rounds they are firing will come down.
Happy Tuesday Pixlbit. Today I thought I would go over the Playstation 3. I like my PS3, and even though I had problems with the original version, the second version I am using is a trooper. I think I got into the PS3 maybe a year or two after its release and I got to see it go from box that offered Linux, to no longer offering it, and to adding trophies. I wish I could say it was the first console I bought digital games for, but I think that goes to the PSP when I was buying Minis and DLC for Rockband. Anyways I do love this system, I still play it (I think I play it more than the PS4) and since GameStop is starting to blow out the games, the PS3 library might grow a lot more this year.
Pixlbit Nation how are you on this this wet Monday Morning? Currently it is a nice 58 degrees and it rained last night in my corner of Sunny Southern California. This is the final week of Blog A Day and I have to say I might have some BaD spillover next week because I still have a couple of systems to talk about and one of them might be another 2 parter *cough the Original Playstation. Anyways Monday’s are usually reserved for games I’ve been playing but I’d like to get through the second part of the PS2 library so let’s get it started!
Good morning Pixlbit Nation, how are you on this fine Thursday morning? It is a cool 45 degrees here in sunny Southern California, and while I am enjoying a nice donut, I thought it was about time I talk about my absolute favorite console that I own, the Playstation 2. Let’s take a trip back to when I bought my Playstation 2. It was a year or so after it’s release (remember when everyone was hoarding them and trying to resell them on eBay?) Well I waited because I didn’t want to spend the crazy cash for it, and I was deciding on which console to buy, the X-Box, or the PS2. I loved the Playstation brand but I was willing to try something new, but it all came down to one thing: which one will play DVDs. See before this I had a DVD player but my brother moved into his own spot and I gave him my DVD player and watching on a computer monitor wasn’t the most ideal thing. The X-Box needed a separate remote in order to play DVDs and the PS2 not so much, so after class I went down to the local Walmart and bought a PS2. The first game I played on my new PS2? Madden 2002…for the original Playstation. Yeah I didn’t buy a PS2 game until the next week.
Pixlbit Army I know Tuesday can’t hold you back, how are you good people doing? For you East Coasters continue to stay warm. Currently it is a nice 46 degrees here in abnormally warm Sunny Southern California, and today I continue with my Game Library. For today I want to write about my favorite handheld ever, the Playstation Portable. There was a lot of hate towards the Playstation, but I felt it was an awesome handheld that could a number of things, kind of like the preview to the tablets and smart phones we have today. Yes I know Microsoft had a tablet around the same time but seriously who bought that thing? The PSP was my all in one media device, it played games, it played mp3s (this was before my mini-disc and phone that played mp3s), it could play movies…if you converted them to whatever proprietary Sony format, and it could go online. The online portion was rough, like 56k rough. All it was missing was that connecting sound.
Hello Pixlbit! It has been a windy last couple of days and as I type this, the sky is actually clear. Yesterday as I was out and about the sky was tan because of all the sand. Of course there was a shaker over the weekend here. I live a good distance away from the epicenter so all we got was a little rolling. Local news made it out to sound like we had a big one but Reddit had a good explanation on what folks around my parts endured
So get this Pixlbit, Fall is here and what is the first thing that greeted me to the end of Summer? The sniffles. Yep, oh cruel, cruel Fall, trying to sneak in a cold so I could be miserable instead of not having to worry about the heat (it’s still going to hit 100° in my little part of Southern Californaia)
Hey Pixlbit! Happy Monday! So I hear there’s some big game being released tomorrow and I know most of you guys/gals are gonna be sucked in, including yours truly, so before we into that game (Grand Something or Other) here are some sandbox games I enjoyed on the PS2
So collector sets are cool to own for one thing usually you wont find complete sets years after there release, so the first game is . or mana collectors edition and the other two although collectable there more of a set.
Before I begin this week’s blog, I hope you all had a safe Memorial Day, and took a moment to remember those who passed on while serving the United States.
If you like free games, there’s a pretty easy way to score Midnight Club II on your Steam account through the weekend. Simply join the Rockstar Steam community before 10 AM PDT on May 15 and a free, non-giftable copy of the game will arrive in your account sometime before May 29. Just be aware that this version of the game won’t run on Windows 7 or Vista. This probably limits the audience for the game considerably, but for those still rocking Windows XP on an aging rig might finally have a new game to boot up on their systems.
EA recently published a list of service updates, indicating an April 13 2012 termination date for online functions of several games. EA has cited the usual reasons for server shut down, such as lack of customer interest in the titles, and the desire to free up staff stuck supporting unpopular games. While this may not seem particularly newsworthy, several titles on this list are on servers supported by EA’s infamous “online pass” feature, which charges second hand users an additional fee to use online, server hosted content.
Today, Rockstar Games announced the international release dates for their upcoming Western shooter, Red Dead Redemption. The sequel to Red Dead Revolver is slated for release on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and will be available in North America, April 27, 2010, and all other regions on the 30th.
Major Nelson announced that Army of Two, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, and Sonic Unleashed are joining the Games on Demand download service on Xbox 360.
This October, Microsoft brings brand new titles to XBLA's Games on Demand, and discounts to popular XLBA titles.
