  • PlayStation Vita Review

  • dog2_99 04/01/2012

    I agree good review; I have one and am really enjoying it. Uncharted is good fun (if a little easy) and Marvel vs. Capcom is a great time killer. The device is solid and appears to hold a charge fairly well-ish...

    looking forward to the FEB wider release and getting some more games; Amazon appears to be pricing fairly aggressively as well.     Reply +7

  • Vita out in Europe and US early next year

  • dog2_99 04/08/2011

    oh dear this is a shame, though not unexpected.

    i guess i will have to pay over the odds on ebay for an import come christmas; anyone know any good import website still running?     Reply +1

  • Wipeout 2048 on Vita gameplay

  • dog2_99 29/06/2011

    Have to admit it does not look that impressive; perhaps we have been spoiled; but does not look that much better than the PSP version. Still hot for Vita though! Reply +2

    very much looking forward to this one; much more than the Zelda re-hash Reply -3

  • iOS 5 brings gameplay to TVs

  • dog2_99 08/06/2011

    If Apple were to explore this route perhaps it would look to sell any games via its Mac App Store where it currently sells Full priced games. I think there is a danger that the Iphone/Ipad stores have somewhat been associated with Free or low cost; a premium section for fully spec games may be an option however?

    Hmmm very interesting...if implimented well the OnLive function could really shake the console world up Reply +1

  • Nintendo Wii U Tech Demo

  • dog2_99 07/06/2011

    I agree it is a step in the right direction; my concern is whilst their maybe 3-4yrs left in the XBox360 and PS3 life span it will probably not be that long until the next console is released/demo'd.

    Next years E3 (by which time the WiiU may still be unreleased) we will probably see some tech demos from the next gen consoles and 'should' Nintendo fall short we may see them failing to reach their somewhat wide aim i.e 'everyone'; hardcore gamers may wait for or plan third party title purchases for the potentially more powerful consoles.

    The worse case for Nintendo is that third party developer make min effort to use any current graphic advantage over the Xbox360/PS3, coding for the lowest and widest placed level then miss out again as the new gen raise the bar above what the Wii U can provide.

  • Wii U Mario Bros. Mii tech demo screens

  • dog2_99 07/06/2011

    its a shame they have not updated the graphics of the Mii...might have been nice to have hi-Res Miis; the Xbox360 avatars still look better. Reply +4

  • 13 3DS VIP store openings planned

    I am not surprised they are trying hard to get people out yet I fear most headlines will be grabbed by the Ipad2 and the inevitable HUGE queues outside Apple retail stores. Reply +1

  • Sony: NGP battery life "good, solid"

  • dog2_99 27/01/2011

    @ianegg

    thanks for clearing it up...i just hope we can use it outside in even modest sunlight...the Nexus one was a NO-GO on that front since then i have not been a fan; i am sure the tech has come on since then     Reply +1

  • dog2_99 27/01/2011

    Do we know what type of OLED this is? if its the standard OLED good luck using outside; i had a Nexus One and it was a nightmare; hopefully its a Super AOLED screen; i think this is Samsung tech?! Reply +1

  • Sony: NGP price will be "affordable"

  • dog2_99 27/01/2011

    I fear the lowest we can hope for in the UK is £299, reality it may hit £399.

    I wonder if it will mirror Apple's iPhone Model...you can buy it sim free but will be expensive (£500+) or you can sign up to 24month contract and get it for £199.

    Not sure I would be comfortable with another contract on my hands but at least the product cycle is likely to be longer than 24months so no worries about trying to get out of the agreement when the next one comes out.

    On a side not I do think releasing details almost 12months before the release (even more for Europe most probably) is a little foolhardy; I understand the need to steal the 3DS thunder but honestly there are 8months between launches momentum maybe lost and certainly come Dec/ early' 12 these impressive specs will not be as impressive. At time of eventual EUR release the iPad 3 and iPhone 6 will both be making rumblings and the 3DS may well be below £200 officially and have a healthy game selection (past its somewhat dull launch window titles). A summer release would have made much more of an impact and given the system time to build for the ‘holidays’.

    Still roll on the EUR release as I want one ;)

  • iPhone Gears of War possible "in 2 years"

  • dog2_99 03/11/2010

    maybe all possible but Apple putting an HDMI port on the iPhone so we can connect easily to a TV is the most unlikely part of the prediction. Though maybe the new Airplay function will be the answer!? Reply 0

  • Quiet week for PlayStation Store

  • dog2_99 16/10/2009

    entire back cat would be great but i am reasonable man...just a steady supply of games; giving a reason to buy the thing! Reply 0

  • dog2_99 16/10/2009

    I am really disappointed with Sony and the PSP store. I bought the PSPgo and really like the hardware (perhaps one of the only ones who does but it suits my needs) i do not overly mind paying slightly more for the games (MAD i know) but honestly the range is poor and the rate at which these are being added is worrying.

    Come Sony lets start filling up the PS Store with content!

  • Apple: DS and PSP "don't stack up"

  • dog2_99 10/09/2009

    but the games is only one portion of the reason to buy a touch.

    It also handles MP3 and Videos much better than the PSP and DSL currently do; plus it can surf the internet much better as well.     Reply 0

  • GDC: Why OnLive Can't Possibly Work

  • dog2_99 26/03/2009

    @StooMonster I agree that very few upgrades are perfectly executed but I think to the average Joe in the street this model (of upgrades mainly being performed behind the scenes by Online or whomever) is vastly more appealing than doing it themselves. Reply 0

  • dog2_99 26/03/2009

    @StooMonster - yeah i have both Vista and XP on bootcamp (cant get totally away hehe)...its more Apple really is no gaming machine :( well at least my Imac and old-ish Macbookpro aren't.

    I think your upgrade point is correct it will not remove such requirements but it might make the experience more user friendly. When I upgraded from Sky+ to Sky HD aside from coughing up too much money I didn’t have to sorry about conflicts; firmware updates or increasing my power management? I understand that this removes perhaps the thrill of the Windows Gamer but for a guy brought up on consoles the thought is prohibitive.
