PS3 Portal 2 Steam PSN Fail

I pre-ordered Portal 2 a month ago from the UK and it finally arrived last Friday. Unfortunately due to PSN being brought to its knees by insecurity I am unable to use the supplied PC code and activate it.  I had really no intention of playing it on the PS3 other than to check out [...]

Nervousness, that is what I felt before playing the sequel demo to one of my favourite RPG’s in years.  I should note, It also doesn’t help that I am currently playing Divinity 2 – The Dragon Knight Saga.  Going from a difficult RPG heavy game to this is quite a stark contrast.  I played the [...]

Final Fantasy XIII disappointment!

After playing the Western RPG masterpiece, Dragon Age, Final Fantasy XIII is an absolute bore fest in comparison.  I just purchased the Collectors Edition of FFXIII on the PS3 and have never been more dissatisfied with a game than this.

Xbox RROD Project – Cheap way to buy an XBOX 360?

I recently just bought 2 RROD Xbox 360′s off Ebay after doing a bit of research on common Xbox 360 RROD problems.  I must admit, I quite enjoy getting my hands dirty with this sort of thing and being a long time PC builder, this exercise was quite easy. Upon initial inspection of the console, [...]
