Gaming thoughts of the day

Anyone else download Wake up on PSvita today? It's a weird but quirky happy go fun Japanese approach at an alarm clock and yeah you can earn trophies for some reason. Does add a mini game so when the alarm goes you have to pick the vita up and play a micro game of catch your avatar to turn the alarm off. I will use it as I often need to wake up in the morning and for various reasons do not own a plug in alarm clock.

thats why I got an email about getting tropies for waking up? I'll take a look at it now that you mention it.

Dammit all...
I'd like to preorder Ken's Rage 2, but so far Amazon only has a listing for the 360 copy. And it says it comes out Feb. 5th...
Hurry up and list the PS3 version you schmucks.

[Segata Sanshiro Jr.]

You might need to import it, I think thats the only physical PS3 copy. We'll know in like 2 more weeks.

Damn. Actually, I think I may have heard something to that tune a while back, but just forgot about it.
But looking at the official Japanese site for it has gotten me all excited again in the last couple days. I must have it!

mirrors edge is one of the best looking games this gen, I love the simplistic yet harmonious blend of colours they have, been a while since something gave me some inspiration for my own work like that

I encountered a few bugs but I'm loving running around, smashing through doors/windows, sliding down skyscrapers and jumping from building to building while an army of cops try and take me down, this game deserves more attention than it gets, well worth the 2£ I pay'd for it

Looks kind of like the gang from Jet Set are fans of Shenmue.

If you're paying $60 a year for live gold you're a fool.

I pay two dollars for two months and when I go back to silver I resub with the same offer. Even for those that need something more convenient a $35 annual sub can be had with a little patience as they go on sale all the damn time. The reason why Sony's network is free is because their servers aren't as reliable and their security is a joke.

Is this the future of gamers? Motivate them to do things with achievements and trophies? Wake up at 8 am instead of noon and get a trophie!

Anyone ever have the sticky eject button issue with the Gamecube?

This is why the homebrew DC scene doesn't interest me. It's all arcade games. That you could play on your phone or browser.
