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…)

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…)

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…)

After some delicate tinkering with my PSP, I finally got the USB Mod for PSP working! I now can finally play my backed-up ISOS from my PC via a USB cable. So how did I do it? Well, I’m gonna share this stuff with you guys so you could do it on your PSP too. (more…)

PSP game demos are now available for free download on the internet. When I first bought my PSP, there were no game demos. People at the gaming stores wouldn’t let you try out the game before buying it. Now, that’s risky. New PSP owners are really lucky right now because they really experience the game first before they decide to buy it. Before, PSP owners like me only rely on online game reviews but it’s really different if you experience the game and decide on it. (more…)

I’ve finally beaten the game, NFS Carbon: Own the City. This game is really cool and has a real slick storyline. I’ve written a short summary about this game to help you out.

The story starts 6 months ago when you and your brother Mick crashes into a car accident. You’re brother Mick dies and you get into a coma. After 6 months, your conciousness returns but you get an amnesia. You are fetched by Sara, your late brother Mick’s girlfriend. Outside the hospital, Carter, your Ace and Wingman is waiting for you. Sara gives you the keys and tests you if you can still drive. (more…)

Finally, I’ve beaten the most notorious driver in Need For Speed: Most Wanted. Clarence Callahan, the most wanted driver on top of the list, was not an easy driver to beat. When I got enough respect points to race him, I bought a M3 GTR and upgraded it to the max. The M3 GTR is really easy to handle and it’s also fast but not as fast as Callahan’s car which is also a GTR but has race car specs. (more…)

I’ve been busy these past few days. Work and the PlayStation Portable is eating a lot of my time. By the way, I’ve upgraded my PSP’s firmware into 3.03 OE-C by Dark Alex just last week. I’ve also installed some Custom Firmware Extender plugin. The Custom Firmware Extender enables you to take screenshots and do some ftp on your PSP. It adds also functions to some keys using the note key as the control key. (more…)

After downgrading my PSP to 1.5, I finally decided to upgrade it into Dark Alex’s 3.02 OE-B firmware. If you asked how I did it, i just followed the upgrade instructions from Attack of the Gamer.

So what’s new with the 3.02 OE-B firmware? This firmware can run ISO games and 1.5 homebrew applications. The PSP camera is also supported by this firmware as well as the 4 Gigabyte memory stick. What this firmware lacks is the Korean language support and the Location Free Player support. Well it’s ok for me since I don’t have a Location Free Player.

You can download homebrew apps at psp-homebrew.eu or you can go to QJ. ISOs aren’t available on these sites since they don’t support Piracy. You can find free PSP ISOs on torrent sites though.

I’m currently enjoying playing NFS Carbon and NFS Most Wanted on my PSP right now. Those two files weigh about 500 MB and that occupies already half of my memory stick. I’m looking for a 4 GB memory stick right now but I think it’s still not available here in the Philippines. By the way, I’m looking for a PSP gamer like me so I have someone to play with. I hope someone out there is interested in making me their PSP playmate.

I’ve successfully downgraded by 2.80 PSP with a TA-082 motherboard to 1.50. how did i do it? Well I just followed Noobz’ instructions. It only took me less than 5 minutes to do it! Boy was it fast but watching it seemed like days.

At first I was afraid to do it because I was afraid of bricking it but I prayed hard and voila! PSP 1.5. I’m really happy to have my Portable Playstation downgraded. What’s my next step? I’m gonna install Dark Alex’s 3.03 OEb and after that I’ll be able top play ISOs and EBOOTs without UMDs. There are also tons of good apps out there!

Thanks Noobz for keeping the PSP flame alive!
