Music Unlimited Hitting PS3 Today!

Later today, “Music Unlimited” is going to be added to the PS3, but that isn’t the only device. It’s also going to be hitting internet enabled BRAVIA TV’s, Blu-Ray Disc player’s, Sony VAIO’s, and other PC’s along with some other devices like the PSP down the road. It seems like this is going to be a pretty cool addition, access to 6 million music tracks from one device that lets you play games, stream TV shows or even sport games is really making the PS3 a one stop shop. The service is going to come in two flavors. One is going to cost you $3.99 a month and the other is going to cost $9.99. Obviously you are going to be getting some extra content with the $10 price tag as opposed to the $4 dollar one, but that choice is yours. It’s great that the service is going to be available for FREE for the first 30 days, I for one am not to crazy in trying something out just to find out I hate it. Nothing wrong with a little try it before you buy it, know what I mean? Anyways, enough of me, check out the video below to get the full experience:

Activision Cancels Guitar (and DJ) Hero… And I AM Sad

Yesterday was a sad, sad day for music game fans as Activision has confirmed that after several layoffs hit some of their studios… Guitar Hero and DJ Hero are no more . Smaller than usual revenues for their last two music games (that would be DJ Hero 2 and Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock) pushed Activision to shut down that division of their business so they can focus in what gives them the most profit: more Call of Duty, the next episode of Starcract 2 and giving us a special glow in the dark mount for World of Warcraft every three months. I LOVE Guitar Hero, ever since the first one was released on the PS2. I took an immediate liking to DJ Hero after trying out a demo unit at a Toys R Us a couple of months after it was released. I own two PS2 wired guitars along with GH 1-3 and Rocks the 80′s, own a full band kit from World Tour along with Guitar Hero 5, GH Metallica, Van Halen, Smash Hits and Aerosmith and I’ve got all the tracks from Band Hero as imported content (thanks sis!) on an SD card. All of these are for the Wii (yep, you CAN own more than one console. Go figure!) in case you were wondering. I’ll miss the franchise since I mostly play drums and the drumming in Rock Band is too much of a stretch for me since the floor tom will magically change into a ride cymbal, then into a crash cymbal and then into a cowbell. Sure, adding the “Pro” kit for Rock Band 3 would take it closer to a proper drum kit experience but that’s an add-on that wasn’t fully supported before. I DO own Rock Band 2 and Lego Rock Band but mainly because I got each for $10 and for that price I can survive some weird drumming here and there. I hope that Activision realizes that music games should be a “once every two years” deal and not a “hey, we’ll launch six in eight months!” Eureka moment. I liked the way that Warriors of Rock’s career mode was handled and the soundtrack in DJ Hero 2 is worth the price of admission by itself. Guess I’ll have to make do with the DLC they’ll release for the rest of Q1 and Q2 before they pull the plug. Should have seen this coming after Harmonix got sold a couple of months ago…

Disney Restructures Into a Digital Only Publisher

According to VG247 , Disney has restructured into a digital only game publisher. What does that mean for us? The future? Will other devs follow? I guess only time will tell, but its kind of odd since Disney is the reasons we can’t get Kingdom Hearts BBS on the PSP via PSN.

I really enjoyed the movie “Red”. I wasn’t expecting much when I went into the theater. But it was a very fun movie, John Malkovich was very funny in it. I knew when I walked out of the theater this was a must buy for me. I stopped watching the Saw series after the 2nd one, just didn’t interest me anymore so let us know if the last installment was any good. Anything interest you this week? Here are the Blu-ray titles for this week . Highlights are: Secretariat, Red (Special Edition), Red (Movie-Only Edition), The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest, Saw 3D: The Final Chapter, Saw: The Final Chapter, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Dead Space: Aftermath, Color Purple, Open Season 3, Nature: Wolverine: Chasing the Phantom.

Final Fantasy Overflow. XIII-2, Versus, Type-0 New Info

Tons of info has been released for some up and coming Final Fantasy games. Some long overdue, some new. Today we have info for Final Fantasy XIII Versus, Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Type-0. The Versus news is very welcome as this game has just taken so long in development. Hopefully we get a 2011 release. Final Fantasy XIII Versus * The actual battle screen in the final game will show character names. * Some areas regarding how the battle screen shows commands will probably change for the final. * Magic has different effects depending on the character who uses it. * A young blonde male character shown in the magazine’s screenshots is good with guns. He alone has aiming controls and can aim for enemy weak spots. * When other characters use guns, they have just a normal lock-on. * The game has a large number of weapons. Main character Noctis can use them all. * Your battle party can have up to three members. However, the members who aren’t taking part in the battle will join in on conversations. * There are more party members than the four shown in the magazine. However, the game doesn’t have a massive number of party members. * Main character Noctis is not “cool.” He’s just a normal youth. He feels “I am strong,” but he’s not as strong as he thinks. * Some segments of the trailer show natural landscapes. These are like the fields you encounter in other games. The game will have time progression: morning, afternoon, evening and night. * Contrary to some theories, the dragon rider character who appears in the trailer is not heroine Stella. Nomura says he wouldn’t show Stella in such a state. The character you see in that sequence is an enemy. * You can steal army vehicles for your use. You can ride air ships, cars and Chocobos. * The blonde character shown in the trailer is Noctis’s friend. The other two characters are friends from Noctis’s childhood. The person with glasses is like Noctis’s tactician. * You’ll recall that someone in the trailer says “You’re not fit to be king,” or something to that effect. This statement is not directed at Noctis. (I think everyone assumed it was!) * Nomura says something along the lines of: This year, we have Type-0 and XIII-2, so please forget about Versus for a while. He asked that people be patient and understand that they’re trying to do something incredible. * At the earliest, we could see more from Versus XIII at E3. Final Fantasy XIII-2 *ATB returns *Won’t feature jpop feel like X-2. *Difficulty selection *Other characters will return, but expect them to be different. * XIII-2′s story begins in Gran Pulse after the ending of XIII. * The story will feel like it expands out from the after story that was included in the booklet with Xbox 360′s Final Fantasy XIII International. * Outside of Lightning, other characters will appear in the game in unexpected forms. Some will see major changes. * XIII-2 is a full sequel. You’ll learn some of the things that took place in the background scenes of XIII. * The story will be more dark and mysterious than XIII’s. * The story will focus on the goddess Etro. * The game will not have the pop feel of Final Fantasy X-2 (I think this means no dancing Lightning booooo) * The battle system will be an evolved form of XIII’s ATB system. * They’re listening to opinions both inside and outside of Square Enix and from outside of Japan regarding characters, story and interface. * There may be a difficulty setting. Final Fantasy Type-0 * The keyword for the battle system is “Magic in Action.” While you have weapons, magic is main. * A main concept is “It’s not necessary for everyone to gather.” The game has a multiplayer system that can be enjoyed by solo players too. * You can join other players’ games for three minutes. While you can extend this, Type-0 is not the type of game where you play together with other players continuously. * The game will have 12+2 main characters. This means that in addition to the 12 main characters, there will be two characters, Makina and Rem, in a different framework (I’m not sure what that means). These 12+2 characters will be your controllable party. * You can have up to three characters out in battle simultaneously. Once someone dies, other members will come out to help. * Until you come to the battle field, you move around the world map and execute a strategy. * As you play on your own, other players will gradually take part in the battle. * When you help other players, you earn points. * In general, your full party heads to the battle field together.

Coming to PSN: MiniSquadron (minis)

A game that has been available for the iPhone for a while is now the subject of a port to the PSN minis range of games thanks to Grip Games and SuperMono Studios.  MiniSquadron is best described as and old school flavored 2D shoot-em-up that is contained within a few screens worth of space and has you going back and forth knocking down wave after wave of enemy planes. MiniSquadron is a frantic shooter involving lots of little planes vying for the supremacy of the skies! The player takes control of one of his airplanes and has to battle for the victory, using crazy weapons and incredible aerial stunts! Key features of MiniSquadron include: ·         8 worlds, each one including 12 intense waves of enemies. ·         A massive arsenal of weapons, including super-awesome mega-laser. ·         Over 50 planes to unlock, containing jet planes, alien aircrafts and a flying panda. ·         Stunning graphics & art. Game should be made available during one of the PSN store updates for february and we’ll probably have a review of MiniSquadron here at ps3blog.net around the same time.

Official Review: A Space Shooter For Two Bucks

Let’s get things going with a message from the makers of this Two Dollar Bills project: Since time immemorial, through eons of time and dozens of game consoles, one thing has remained true: humans love hopping into a spaceship to shoot up hordes of alien invaders! In A Space Shooter for Two Bucks! (a game with perhaps the most straight-forward title in history) you get to do just that. Take control of Commander P. Jefferson and go on an intergalactic shooting spree, hopping from galaxy to galaxy in your attempts to wipe out hordes of swarming alien baddies. With over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek humor from the game’s wide cast of colorful characters (all of which are fully voiced-over) and loads of bodacious power-ups to ensure your ship has a fighting chance against the sea of enemy ships and bullets, A Space Shooter for Two Bucks! gives gamers everything they could ask for in a space shooter! With that as our starting point, we can now dive deeper into this new release. Since the game is only $2, how great it can be, right? Well, I’ve had more fun with it than with some $40-$60 retail releases so that should initially give you an idea of how good I think it is. Controls are simple enough: you can move either with the D-pad or the analog nub, shoot with X, use the Triangle button to unleash your Overdrive attack (which builds over time depending on how many enemies you down), use the Square button to activate special weapons and the L and R triggers switch between the weapons available. And it’s this last bit that brings and interesting twist to the game. When you defeat one of the main bosses you obtain the chance to use their own weapon against the many enemies you’ll find in your adventure. I also specially like how all energy bars resemble those of the 8-bit games of yesterday, particularly those from the Mega Man series which brings the “use the weapon from the boss” reference full circle. There are also some extra bosses, in extra levels of course, that grant you an upgrade to your ship’s hull instead of a new weapon and you can, and should, always accept the extra help. There are several power-ups (Shields, Bombs, Missiles, etc.) that will pop up from the inside of the alien coalition which helps add an extra layer to this space shooter. Only down to a single bar before the ship explodes’ You could make your way to the Ship Energy pick up that can restore some of it BUT you’ll also have to make it past a lof of enemies, meteors and bullets and any one of those could end your trip, if only momentarily. It’s great that the developer decide to place checkpoints in each of the levels (in fact, several of them per level), specially one before you battle the end of level boss. If you run out of energy you can just continue right from the last checkpoint and not feel as if you’ve just wasted some of your time for nothing. The more you play, the easier things can get since shooting down enemies releases differently colored crystals of increasing value; starting at 100 credits for the blue ones and going up, and you can take those to the intergalactic store run by Jenna Velasquez (who might have been a looker back in her younger days, but you can never really tell), the “love” interest of Commander P. Jefferson… or at least that’s what HE thinks, since her only interest is that he buys every single item available at the store. For a $2 game, production values are very high. You get full on voice action (great dialogue!) for every character, colorful and well defined graphics and a very entertaining soundtrack. Do watch the credits for the game and see how many people it takes to make a $2 game… and to see a special message at the end. The game especially shines on the PSP, since levels are short (3 to 15 minutes each) and favor the portable experience. If you want to play for longer periods of time, you can go into survival mode, what would be called “Endless mode” elsewhere, and get some extra credits for your effort. An extra objective are the Achievements (that’s their name in-game) you can obtain for the sole purpose of knowing you got everything out of your purchase… and that’s something that I really, really like to do (specially with PS3 trophies that are added to your account in a nice, reviewable catalog). Some you get for killing a set number of enemies, other come as you buy upgrades for your ship at the store or doing very well in survival mode. A Space Shooter for Two Bucks is a great addition to your collection, especially if you own a PSP. If you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber, you get the game for free and this, along with the Season 3 Pass for Sam and Max, makes it easier to get your PS+ sub on this December, if for some incredible reason you haven’t done so already. Review Pros Cons Only.Two.Bucks A lot of content in a small package Great Soundtrack Checkpoint in last level Rating 90% Published by Frima Cost – $2 (Free to Playstation Plus subscribers for a limited time Available on PS3 and PSP (part of the minis catalog) Disclaimer – A copy of the game was supplied by the publisher for this review. – Game was completed and all but 5 of the achievements were obtained. – Total amount of time played: 5+ hours.

No Heroes Allowed for PSP to be Released Tomorrow on PSN

The “Badman” series (which had to be renamed into “My Lord” and remove the holy from it to avoid a lawsuit from the Batman camp. No, seriously ) is one of the games that has in the past made me consider buying a PSP (not fully convinced me yet). Basically the games are Tower Defense in nature since you’re trying to keep the heroes from being successful in their quest for truth, justice… and lots and lots of gold. The third game, No Heroes Allowed (good thing they didn’t put a “More” between the No and the Heroes since that could have potentially meant receiving a slight frown from Suda 51), is set up for launch at the PSN Store on november 2nd which is just around the corner (or tomorrow, whatever you like to call it)! It seems the game won’t be available at retail (See? This IS a global crisis if developers can’t even release a game on UMD!) and thus your only option is to get it directly into your PSP thanks to the magic of the wireless fairies  and their sparkly dust. The game is excellently priced at only $9.99 so your hard earned money (thanks to about an hour and a half of work at minimum wage, but still) can earn you lots and lots of Fun-Fun. For those that have missed the series in the past you can go to Gamestop and buy the second game, What Did I Do To Deserve This, My Lord? 2 (2 is for sequel kids!)  for only $19.99 (because Amazon has it for $29.99 and that’s, well, $10 extra)  since it includes the first game for free which makes it less than $10 per game and an excellent way to experience what the fine fellows at NIS America decided to bring over here, thus continuing their long tradition of bringing us “no way that game is ever going to see a release outside of Japan” digital fun.
