Get Your Game On: November Releases
Hopefully in the midst of sorting through your must-have list for November and preparing for your annual Thanksgiving feast, you have also been gearing up for a feast of a different kind. The kind that involves the return of a certain plumber, a large helping of a new band, a serving of an interstellar society, and a side order of a pimped-out race car. It's November friends, and that means gorging yourselves for the next month on some of the hottest games to hit the market all year.
Sony's PSP: A Must Have At Amsterdam's Fashion Week
Sony's PlayStation Portable handhelds made a rare appearance on the catwalk during Amsterdam's Fashion Week. As fashionable and sleek as they are, I'd like to know who, what and why Sony used these runway models to showcase the PSP- especially in the Netherlands! Maybe it's self-explanatory (duh), but at least they were taught how to use the new Go!Cam, and by the looks of it had some fun taking it for a test-drive!
Gaming Is 40 Years Old - Do You Feel Old Yet?
Most of today's Xboxers, wii-meisters, Playstation players and portable video game junkies flip on their consoles and handhelds with little knowledge of the gaming legacy that came before them. This month marks the 40th anniversary of the day Ralph Baer, a German-born inventor who fled to America from fascist Germany, built and played the first home-video game. While I didn't know much about Baer's "Brown Box" before reading Magazine's retrospective, Console Portraits: A 40-Year Pictorial History of Gaming, I can't help but get a little nostalgic for the days of Atari, Nintendo and even Gameboy.

PlayStation 3 Goes On Sale in Europe
The Sony PlayStation 3 hit the market in Europe yesterday and apparently, for a moment it appeared that the first PlayStation 3 to be sold in Britain would not sell at all. According to media reports the register at the Virgin Megastore in London, initially refused to accept the card of Ritatsu Thomas, 17, who waited more than 36 hours for the long-awaited Sony console. When it did finally go through Thomas told reporters: “It feels excellent.
Are You Buying a Console Now That Prices Have Been Cut?
Hot damn! In the course of a couple weeks, we've seen both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 drop in price significantly, as well as the new, cheaper PS3 Slim option.
I have a ton of friends who previously couldn't stomach the high prices of either console, and either went for a cheaper system (hello, Wii), or decided to wait.

I May Not Understand Flower Yet, But It Sure Is Pretty
Even the PlayStation Blog is having a hard time explaining what exactly the game Flower is all about; luckily, they've provided a video of game play to show rather than tell. The game, which will be on the PlayStation network, has stunning graphics, and that, mixed with my gender-mandated love of flowers, makes me think hey, this release on February 12? Sounds like a nice play on a Valentine's Day gift, if you know what I'm sayin'.
Christmas Carols Come to PlayStation 3's SingStore!
I'm in denial over how much I actually like Christmas carols. Maybe it's because most carolers are so annoying (even emoticon carolers, after awhile).
However, if you allow yourself to see past the cheesiness (as you must do for a lot of holiday traditions), you can appreciate them for how great they are.
