Trophies Mandatory Come 2009
Posted in PlayStation 3 on November 20, 2008 by Phoenix8387Written by Phoenix8387 
videogamer.com has reported that come January 2009 all titles must support Trophies. A SCEE spokesperson confirmed this when contacted by videogamer.com, stating “Yes from Jan 09 all games must have trophies.” Ended are the times where we will be forced to wait for a Trophy patch and replay the title completely to earn our Trophies.
There was no mention as to whether PSOne Classics will support Trophies or if Sony will ask developers to patch additional past titles.
PlayStation.com Gets More Community Oriented

I like change
This type of thing was announced at E3. Jack Tretton said that you would be able to access your PSN account from a variety of platforms. The PSP has seen the arrival of PSN and now PlayStation.com is making a complete transfer over to the PSN side of the force. No longer will you log in with the old PSU log in, you have to use your PSN ID. I guess that means you all will be seeing a great deal more of GODSFAVORITE and less of Chris Rah Osiris on the PlayStation sites. Read more »
Afrika Still Coming?
Posted in PlayStation 3 with tags Afrika, National Geographic: Africa, Still coming out on November 19, 2008 by BigPete7978Written by: BigPete7978 
Looks like we're still getting it afterall
Just wanted to give everyone a quick heads up on the status of Afrika here in the U.S. Earlier today one of our frequent blog readers and forum users Fersis tipped me to all of this information. It seems that it is indeed still coming to the U.S. The thing is though that it won’t be under the name Afrika. It will titled National Geographic: Africa. There is a thread over on NeoGAF with a mod stating the following:
Confirmed it is Afrika. SCEA won’t provide more info since they aren’t actually publishing it.
Also a link found HERE states that it will infact be released this November, meaning this month. Personally I am looking forward to this title. It is very different from most games that I am used to playing. Can’t wait to get my hands on it. I do wonder what the trophies will be though.

White Knight Story Boxart…For Japan
Posted in PlayStation 3 with tags Japan, Level 5, White Knight Chronicles, White Knight Story on November 18, 2008 by Chris Rah Osiris
Official Japanese Boxart
The game that Sony made just for me is going to be released on Christmas as a present. Though I do not live in Japan and will have to import this game, we are fortunate enough to have a gander at the official boxart. I can only look at it for so long before my jealousy overflows. I’ll have to be patient. Sony will have to announce a release date for other territories one day. Until then, I will settle for my imported copy.
PS3 and PSP: A Match Made by Sony
Posted in PSP, PlayStation 3 with tags Adhoc Party, adhocParty, Capcom, Christian Svensson, PS3, PSP on November 18, 2008 by Chris Rah Osiris
We belong together
I have a PSP. I also have a PS3. I am not shocked to hear that I am not the only one with these two possessions. Christian Svensson has a better idea of how common this is. Apparently, 50% of PS3 owners, also own a PSP. How does he know? You likely guessed it, Sony told him. Sounds like a pretty good number. Hopefully this will help to motivate developers to make games adhocparty compatible.
Do you own both? You should. (Only kidding, but it is a good idea. They are peanut butter and jelly).
Trophy Guide - Resistance 2
Posted in PSN, PlayStation 3, Trophies with tags R2, Resistance 2, Trophy Guide on November 17, 2008 by Phoenix8387Written by Phoenix8387
Resistance 2
Resistance 2 is the sequel to highly popular PS3 launch title Resistance: Fall of Man. Insomniac games have done a wonderful job on yet another PS3 exclusive title. The “three C’s” (Campaign, Cooperative and Competitive) each offer fun and unique experiences, and the trophies represent that. The majority of the games Trophies focus on the Campaign, but Co-op and Competitive each have their own respective Trophies.
To reduce spoilers, I’ve blacked out the Hidden trophies (other than the Platinum). To view them highlight after [Hidden].
[Hidden] Platinum Trophy (Platinum): Obtain all Gold, Silver, and Bronze Trophies for Resistance 2
- Obtain all 26 Bronze, 8 Silver and 4 Gold Trophies that shipped with Resistance 2.
Mirror’s Edge Review
Posted in PlayStation 3, Review with tags Mirror's edge, PS3, Review on November 17, 2008 by BigPete7978Written by BigPete7978
Despite the mixed reviews is it worth it?
The first time I saw Mirror’s Edge I thought that it wasn’t a title for me to be honest, but that all changed when the demo was released via PSN a couple weeks back. I have never played a title that was like this. I think that is why it intrigued me so much. The demo alone made it purchase worthy to me. Though I will not deny that when I saw so many negative reviews prior to the launch of the game my confidence in the title was diminished some. But once I actually looked at the reviews a lot of them based the low scores on one main thing, length of the game. Anytime there is a complaint about the length of a game it immediately makes me think of one title that was hurt in the reviews department, Heavenly Sword. A lot of people missed out on it because of the low scores, but in the end Heavenly Sword is one of my all time favorite games from this generation. Mirror’s Edge is becoming that way as well it seems. While I will say this, Mirror’s Edge is not for everyone, and it will not appeal to everyone. But it appealed to me, and in the end I am glad I purchased it. Hopefully this review will help you decide whether or not the title is right for you.
Guess Who’s Back?
Posted in PSN with tags Jeff Rubenstein, Official PlayStation Blog, Official PS Blog, PS Blog on November 17, 2008 by Chris Rah Osiris
It looks something like this
No, it is not the Governator. It is the Official Blog. The blog is back and to be perfectly honest, the changes do not affect the look of the page terribly too much. You are free to like that or not. I like the look. Be sure to keep track of the recent posts, twitter feed, and the Playstation Converstation. This change is new and all, but it really only makes me more excited about the changes that will be coming in the future.
Are you impressed?
This Week’s Blu-Cast
Posted in Blu-Cast, Blu-Ray with tags 8 Mile, Beyonce, Blu-Cast, Blu-Ray, Disney, National Security, Release Date, Wall E on November 16, 2008 by Chris Rah Osiris
Pixar did it again
This week’s Blu-Cast is looking a lot like this weekend’s weather. There is no sunshine and there are intermittent showers. There is a big name title for everyone to rally around, but I’m sure some of you will pass it over because it is a “children’s” movie. I heard Wall-E was rather good. This is coming from my cousin. He is required to go to these things, he has a daughters.
Individuals that are interested in buying bulk can choose from an assortment of packs for purchase. There is a Marvel 3-pack, but sadly it only includes the 2 Fantastic 4 movies and the Daredevil. (At least Elektra was not included). There is also a Blu-Ray 20 pack you can purchase. I don’t know if I should list all twenty. There are some catalog titles that will be released this week as well, 8 Mile and National Security.
Anyone excited about this week’s Blu-Offering? I think I just may get the Beyonce release. For review purposes only.

Official PS Blog is Getting an Official Update
Posted in Community with tags Features, Jeff Rubenstein, PlayStation Blog, PS Blog, update on November 15, 2008 by Chris Rah Osiris
PS Blog 1.5
Monday morning the official PS Blog will be undergoing a makeover. Jeff says that your critiques of the blog have been taken into consideration and some of them will make an appearance this Monday. At approximately 9am PST, yes, it is always PST, you will find a few new things. My personal favorite will be the latest posts and most active post features. That is not to say that we are not all fans of the ability to see older posts as well. We are really looking forward to seeing this on Monday. Luckily I’ll be able to see it when it goes live. I will be off of work. YAY.
P.S. More features will be coming in the near future.

PS3 Keypad Coming in December
Posted in PlayStation 3 with tags Bluetooth, chatpard, December, keybad, Thanksgiving, wireless on November 14, 2008 by Chris Rah Osiris
This will be a welcome accessory for Home
The chatpad/keypad was announced with some mixed reviews. The major issue with the keypad was the price. I won’t lie and say that I love dishing out $50, but I actually am not. So…I can’t gripe about that. I was able to sneak in and get it for $40 during one of Amazon’s sales. (I love you Amazon). Just in case you were wondering when this fine accessory will be available at your fine, local retailer, it will be in the first week of December. That means I get my baby when I get back from Thanksgiving break. I love the holidays. Read more »
What are you playing this weekend?
Posted in Community, PlayStation 3 with tags Games, PS3 on November 14, 2008 by enewtabieWritten by Enewtabie 
Now that most of the major games have hit the stores and you have all spent those hard earned paychecks on some great games. What are you playing this weekend? I’m playing through Quantum of Solace, LittleBigPlanet and Resistance 2. It’s a struggle to get all of these games done, where there is so much quality out there. But,you have to find time for all the great games that Sony is releasing for the Playstation 3.
So chime in the comments. Hows your weekend gaming going so far?
Resistance 2 Review
Posted in Clans, Community, PlayStation 3, Review with tags Insomniac Games, Resistance 2, Review on November 14, 2008 by BigPete7978Written by BigPete7978
Do you have what it takes to save Earth?
I am not the biggest first person shooter fan. So for me to enjoy one it has to be pretty good overall. The recent first person shooters that I purchased were of course Resistance: Fall of Man and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Both were fantastic in their own right. The thing is I have always preferred third person over first person view, it’s just a preference of mine. Also with all the great games coming out this season it’s hard to distinguish which title is worthy and which aren’t. Sure it is a great time to be a gamer, but it’s also hurting our wallets. Resistance 2 picks up where Resistance: Fall of Man left off. You are once again in control of the main protagonist, Nathan Hale. The true question at hand though is whether or not Insomniac Games delievered this time around with the much anticipated sequel. Well before you read this entire review I will say this, yes they did, but in a different way. The game impresses in areas, and disappoints in others.
