My Prince of Persia Wii experience

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

Last night I went to my brother’s house and brought with me Prince of Persia Rival Swords for Wii. I don’t have a Wii right now but I’ll be having one soon, I hope. The game is very similar to the PSP version. The graphics, the intro, the gameplay, almost everything is the same with the Wii version. The only difference is the controls. I love the controls of the game on the Wii and it really is addicting. I tried playing through the 5 chapters of the game and it’s really a classic. I mean it’s easier to kill an enemy using the Wiimote and the nunchuck coz you get to swing and slash the controllers on air. Better check out Prince of Persia Rival Swords website to see how it works. (more…)

Sony PSP’s new Firmware 3.40 sneaking on your network update

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

Just a few weeks after the recent release of PSP firmware 3.30, it seems that Sony PSP firmware 3.40 is now available on the South Korea website. So what’s new with this firmware? I don’t know because maybe I don’t want to try it out and it’s Korean. I can’t read Korean you know. And I suggest you guys not to download it. Stay away from it. Ok?

I know that Dark Alex and the PSP team of hackers are ready for this one. It took a day to decrypt the previous firmware 3.30 just after it’s release. I wonder how long the team will take to decryt this one. I heard also that Dark Alex bricked his PSP trying to create a custom firmware based on 3.30 but like we all expected, he has cracked it and released yet another custom firmware, 3.30 OE just a few days ago.

DragonBall Z: Shin Budokai

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

I’m really not into fighting games but one game has really caught my attention: Dragonball Z: Shin Budokai. I love the Dragonball Z cartoon series. In fact it’s one of my favorite anime when I was young. I mean who doesn’t love Goku?

The game has great polygonal cartoon graphics which you will love. The characters are colorful and I love the background. For the gameplay, you can choose between the story mode and the arcade mode. Or you can hone your skills on the training mode. I have finished until chapter 5 of the Dragon Road with the help of Robert. There are a lot of unlockable characters like Gogeta and the super Saiyan versions of Goku, Vegeta and the other characters. (more…)

Running Along Walls in Prince of Persia: Rival Swords

Wednesday, April 4th, 2007

Released on April 1, 2007, yeah April Fool’s Day, Prince of Persia: Rival Swords is one hell of a game PSP hardcore gamers must have! It’s from Ubisoft and yeah it’s got great graphics and a nice gameplay. I just had this game this morning but I wasn’t able to try it right away. I had to go to work so I had to wait until I get home to play it. Well it’s not that I couldn’t play during breaks but I guess 15 minute breaks is not enough time to mingle with the PSP. So I waited until I got home so I could try out this awesome game. (more…)

PSP Firmware 3.30: It never ends

Monday, April 2nd, 2007

Sony has just released yet another firmware for the PSP. You can now download the 3.30 thru network update if you want. The last firmware update was 3.11. Sony skipped 3.20 and this means 3.30 is a huge update. Just days or maybe hours before the firmware came out, Team C+D has already decrypted it and now Dark Alex is working on a 3.30 based custom firmware. (more…)
