SOCOM Cheater, Hacker Guilty of Felony
A 17-year old who was caught cheating in a SOCOM tournament and then disqualified took out his frustrations towards Sony in a unique way… and why he would be mad at Sony when he was cheating is sort of unexplainable, but moving on… Some may remember a massive 11-day outage of the main PlayStation site back [...]
Continue reading...Awful Moments in Multiplayer Gaming: NBA Jam Extreme
Thursday, January 14, 2010
It is ironic that the loading screens for NBA Jam Extreme actually say, “Extreme Loading” considering just how excessively long data retrieval can be in this unnecessary NBA Jam sequel. Acclaim’s motion captured, incomprehensible 3-D mess loads before the title screen, moving into the selection screen, loads the pre-game screen, and then loads the game [...]

Sunday, January 10, 2010
If it is cold where you live, that would be the after-effects of hell freezing over due to EA Sports giving away a free game mode… That freebie is the Madden 10 Ultimate Team, a feature that adds a card-based mini-game. Here, players are given a basic starter pack, which includes coaches, players, playbooks, and jerseys. [...]

Sunday, December 27, 2009
Many will not-so-fondly remember the “other” Acclaim Batman Forever game, a disaster of imprecise controls, illogical level designs, and visuals so sub-par, it was hard to make out what you were doing. That mess found its way onto countless game consoles, including the lowly Game Boy, the last place it should have ended up. However, on [...]

Sunday, December 13, 2009
Other notable Capcom fighters, including Street Fighter Alpha, Street Fighter II Turbo, and Marvel vs. Capcom 2, have managed to find their way into digital distribution, but one popular effort remains missing: PlayStation classic Rival Schools (and its sequel, Project Justice, released for the Dreamcast). Capcom’s spokesperson Chris Svensson notes to Destructoid that, unfortunately, rights issues [...]

Tuesday, June 30, 2009
Sony released the Net Yaroze twelve years ago as a kick start the consoles industries focus on independent gaming. For a somewhat hefty price, gamers could pick up the nifty looking black PlayStation and begin coding games, some of which ended up on various demo discs over the years. Unfortunately, Sony is shutting down the server [...]

Wednesday, June 10, 2009
NBA 2 Ball is an interesting little oddity from the PlayStation era. It was a demo, given away during the 1998 NBA All Star Game. No word on how many were produced. It ran on Acclaim’s rather awful NBA Jam Extreme engine, delivering the rather enjoyable 2 Ball experience that I believe is no longer [...]
Continue reading...New Diagnosis: PlayStation Palm
Wednesday, March 25, 2009
Different from a condition called hairy palm due to playing Dead or Alive (sorry, that was low even for me), PlayStation palm is a new diagnosis coined by doctors in Switzerland. The condition is caused by intense sweating in the palm due to players gripping the controller too tightly. The diagnosis comes after a 12-year [...]

Thursday, October 2, 2008
Gee Sony, think its about time to push these things into stores? The competition is killing you. The pre-paid PlayStation Network cards have been available at Meijer stores (thankfully, right down the street from me) for a little while, but that’s about it. The rest of the populace has been left out in the cold. [...]

Saturday, September 20, 2008
Martijn Van der Meulen, a producer on Sony’s much hyped PlayStation 3 app Home has a made a guarantee that Home will launch this year. In an interview with IGN, Van der Meulen confirmed the date, and reassured everyone that this will always be a free service. Granted, like with the Live Marketplace and GamePics, [...]
