When Sony announced it was bringing Gran Turismo to their beloved portable, there was no doubt it was going to make units fly off the shelves. I just have one simple question, and I think Sony owes its loyal faithful an answer — whatever happened?
A simple search on “Gran Turismo PSP” will net you results dating back to 2004, the same year the PSP was released. If you think about it, have you ever said to yourself, “Oh man, I need to buy it because of game X”? For me, GT was that game. I say was because I’ve since sold my mint, almost unused portable for a more game friendly Nintendo DS Lite.
I’m a patient guy. Just don’t mess with my games
Games are no longer dictated by how many megabits the hardware can produce, or how good they look on a 50-inch lcd TV. All that matters […]

I’m not a big fan of fighting games, but Street Fighter 2 made me buy a Super Nintendo almost 15 years ago (From the countless incarnations, I think I got the Turbo edition). The game was and still is a representation of what all 2d or 3d fighters are being compared to. Biggest quarter muncher of all time? I don’t have any figures to support this claim, but I would think so.
What’s worth noting about the game is the frustration the international gaming industry had to endure until Capcom finally decided to learn to count to 3. Aside from Will Wright’s the Sims, Street Fighter 2 probably had the most number of incarnations of any game. And to think the other editions aren’t even expansion packs. When Street Fighter 3 was released, it somehow drowned during the 32-bit console wars. Fighting games such as Toshinden, Tekken, and the blocky […]

I just have one question. How old is Atty. Henrietta Silos Mendez exactly? If she was the former MTRCB chair, then she must be pretty old. Add this huge generation gap to the fact that she’s not male, and you’ve got an obvious reason why she’s campaigning against videogames.
She’s never felt the satisfaction of coming back 10 pts down in the last 2 minutes of an NBA Live basketball game. Nor has she ever experienced watching the intro of Gran Turismo 1 for the very first time on the Playstation. Judging by the effect and crossover of today’s generation of videogames all over the world, videogames are here to stay.
It’s also MTRCB. Not MTRCV.
