Burnout5 will be called Burnout Paradise

God of War coming to PSP...

1up posted an article this weekend about God of War for the PSP. I haven't quite finished GOW2 yet, but I should be finished in time for this next version. Let's see how it looks on the PSP first. Do you plan on playing GOW on the PSP, or would you just as soon wait for the next version, which will be on PS3? What are your thoughts?

Ahh, Dirt...

If you haven't already seen the game Dirt. Go now to IGN and check out the screens that were posted recently. I have to say that the lighting/texturing in this game looks really fantastic. I hope it's as fun to play as it is to look at. Very nice.

Apple Media Center Musings...

So, I saw on MacRumors.com, an article related to one of Apple's newest patents. So basically it looks like Apple wants to move in to your living room permanently. They're no longer satisifed just as house-guests sleeping on your sofa and watching television or maybe listening to an iPod through your stereo. They want full access to all your shit and you know what, I'm going to let them have it. I've been waiting for a true convergence solution for a long-ass time and I think Apple is definitely the company that will do it right. Maybe they'll push Sony a little bit in the process, since the PS3 has been my convergence product of choice for a little while now. What I mean by that is, the PS3 was the product that I saw as having the most potetntial (albeit un-realized) in that area, but now I'm thinking that Apple might have the edge. Ooh-boy is it going to be interesting though...

Battlefield:Bad Company Video

Wow! Somehow I missed this trailer. This looks promising. Developed by DICE, the guys who made the Battlefield games. I'm especially proud of these guys, given that they are a Swedish company. I used to work for a Swedish game company (Termite Games) as well though our game (New World Order) wasn't quite as succesfull as any of theirs'. Did you detect any sarcasm there? Yeah, I didn't think so. Anyway, this is looking great. I can't wait to see more of this one.
There's a better looking version here, if you have an IGN membership.

I can't wait for Transformers...

Maybe it's just my boyish nature, but there's something about this movie that get's me all riled up inside. GenPSX does hit square on the nose of the transformers demographic though, I must say. I guess I'm not alone in my zombie-like attraction to this one. Anyway, this traileris nothing new, but I just felt I had to go dig it up since we're nearing its release. Yeah, this would have been a cool project to work on... Oh well. No regrets.

New lower price on Apple Cinema Displays

I saw this on Digg this morning. Good news for anybody looking to buy a new monitor for their sexy Apple Mac Pro's for instance. These babies are awesome. No I'm not being paid to say this, but I'd be happy to say more if Apple wants to throw down a little love. Ehh, what do you think guys?

Media downloads - Are they a waste of bandwidth?

Apple announced today that they plan to offer DRM-free music from EMI's entire digital catalog on the iTunes site for $1.29/song.
So, are people really happy with buying stuff direct to download? I've tried it of course and it IS convenient, but I have to say that it's almost more of a headache than it is a convenience. I mean, you end up having to deal with backing up the stuff that you've downloaded and you never have the compression-free version to do with as you please. Even DRM-free content doesn't seem to solve this problem, as far as I'm concerned. What do you think? It seems like the company that makes providing unlimited storage of personal music, movies, etc is really going to clean up in today's information age. If nothing else, I think the companies providing said content, should offer unlimited re-downloads of media that you've previously purrchased from them. that is, assuming you can prove you bought it in the first place. This would at least give people a safe guard in the case they've had a HD crash.
Thoughts?

OMG, GTAIV!

If you haven't played any of the Grand Theft Auto games, then come the f*** out of that hole you've been living in. Seriously man. No really, this franchise is undoubtedly one of the most successful ones of all time and until you've explored your inner psychopathic tendencies (ie: how many innocent civilians can I hit with this stolen fire-truck before the police catch me), you can't really know yourself. See it's educational. And don't go saying you "don't play games" b/c that's no excuse. It's friggin' GTA. That's like saying you don't like foreign films so you're not going to try watching Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon or Hero or something like that. There's certain cultural phenomena that you MUST try no matter what.
Well, this next incarnation looks sure to impress. I'm just hoping for the MMO capabilities. That would be "off the chizain." OMG, I can't believe I've stooped to Paris Hilton's level...
