Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for Xbox Live Arcade is a port of the PlayStation 1 game.Castlevania:SOTN is arguably the best Castlevania game in the series and one of the best games on the PS1.I had a lot of fun playing this game right when it came out and at a $10 price point, it's kinda hard to beat.This is the first game in the series to play like the Metriod games on the Nintendo systems or use the "Metriodvania" style but, it has integrated RPG elements into the gameplay.If you are a fan of classic 2D games then you will love this game or if you loved this game back on the PS1, it's still worth getting.

PSP AC Adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm not sure the product I received was actually from Pelican. It was in a generic, unmarked package. When I plug it into my PSP-1001, the orange light comes on, but was unable to power on the PSP for about an hour. The unit will not work off the charger (shut down after about 5 minutes). So I left it on the charger for 24 hours. After 48 hours, the battery still only showed 1 bar. To be sure it wasn't my battery, I tried my PSP on my friend's original SONY charger - that started charging fine, and was going much faster. I can only conclude that either the charger is defective, or not compatible with the PSP-1001. Either way, wasn't worth the hassle to return it.

PSP UMD Case Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Definitely a good case. It's hard and sturdy. It's got two sliding buttons on the front to open each side of the case. Each side holds 4 UMDs. The slots on the inside hold the UMDs very securely so your UMDs dont go flying around. And even though there is a tight grip to hold the game, this doesnt hinder it from letting the games come out with ease. I've had DVD cases hold onto a dvd so hard that I would actually start talking to the case and saying "If you make me break this DVD, I'm going to go burn you in a fire pit!"

The only thing that might make you want to shy away from this case is that it's as big as your PSP. This doesnt bother me at all, but to some it might.

I took some pics and uploaded them for y'all so you can get a better look than the pic Amazon has.

Oh and dont let Amazons pic fool you... only one slot holds only one game. Not two. Some people might think that due to Amazons pic.

PSP Star Wars Battlefront Renegade Squadron Entertainment Pack - Ceramic White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So I have owned the Sony PSP Star Wars Battlefront Renegade Squadron Entertainment Pack - Ceramic White for about 3 weeks now.I never owned the original PSP, and mostly got this for "remote play" capabilities with the PS3 (e.g. remote access to your PS3 using the PSP and a wifi connection).Simply put, the PSP is AWESOME.Seriously.

The Good:

1. Aesthetics/Design/Construction.
The white slim looks and feels great.I briefly owned the black slim before returning it and getting the white one.The black looked slick, but it was a real fingerprint magnet.The white looks better, very sleek and clean.Fingerprints do not show up on it much either, which is great.The silver slim was just too cheap looking, like the silver was spray painted on, so I never considered it.Nice how the back is totally flat also, unlike the old psp.The non-spring door battery cover is fine.I was worried after reading reviews of how it is cheap feeling and fragile, but it's just fine.It is easy to open/close, gives a nice "snap" when it opens or closes, won't break if you're not rough with it (care is required), and eliminates worries about the spring door mechanism from malfunctioning.I never had an original PSP 1000, but the slim feels solid and not cheap at all to me.

2. Screen.
Very bright, nice 480x272 resolution.Movies and games just look great on it.

3. Music.
MP3s (and WMA supported also) sound great on the PSP.The visualization has about six different "patterns" that are interesting.The interface looks good, better in fact than the music player interface on the PS3, and features all the important info, and can be toggled on/off also.Recent firmware now allows for music to be played back while viewing photos.

4. Video.
Ability to run full 480x272 video off of files stored on the memory stick was a contentious issue in the first couple years, as Sony had evidently crippled video file on the memory stick to a max resolution of 320x240 in order to "encourage" users to buy overpriced UMDs.Several months ago, Sony saw the error of its ways and relented to user requests and now the PSP is fully able to play back 480x272 (the PSP's native resolution) video off of videos stored on your memory stick.Using the freeware "psp video 9," you can create video files ranging from 700mb (~1.5hrs video) to 1gb (~2hrs) that look and sound as good as a UMD movie.

Functionality is great too, with the newer firmwares you can search through your video file for scenes by varying intervals (1,2, or 5 minute), which is great since your own video files will be a single file.This is really not to be underestimated in its usefulness, plus it is really cool to use!

5. Photos.
The photo viewer is pretty cool as well, but could use a bit more customization.You can view standard file types (jpg, gif, bmp, and tiff I believe) and have a few slideshow and zoom options.The background of photos that are not 480x272 resolution is white, which cannot be changed to another color (like black), which is not a big deal but I hope Sony will allow you to use a black background in the future.

6. Games.
This is of course the main feature of the PSP.I wasn't expecting the games to be too good, but there are quite a few very good games.So far, my favorites are: Silent Hill Origins, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty/Vice City Stories, NBA 08, Outrun 2006, Burnout Legends, FIFA 08, Madden 08, Legend of Heroes, Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron, Daxter, Wipeout Pure, and Siphon Filter: Dark Mirror.You would be amazed at the graphics, gameplay, story, audio (music/voiceovers) this little system is capable of!Some of these are just great games.

7. Remote Play/Location Free Player.
This is the original reason I bought the PSP, to remotely (via wifi) connect to my PS3 and access the music, video, photos, and even games on it.When it works, it is just really really cool.The PS3 interface shows up on the PSP screen (which can be adjusted for quality based on the bandwidth you want to set it to -- there are five different settings), and you can play movies, trailers, photos, audio, even some games (like Lair!) on your PSP.I haven't used Location Free player yet, but basically it is like using a Slingbox on the PSP, so that you can watch TV, access your DVR, etc., on your PSP using a wifi connection.I plan to try it someday for sure.

8. Internet.
You can use the browser to surf the internet on the PSP when you have access to wifi.It works well enough, and the key input system is pretty decent for a non-QWERTY/touchscreen input system.

9. Functionality/Performance.
The much maligned battery life, is really not that bad at all.Using the PSP to listen to mp3s, watch videos, play games, I get about 3-4 hours of usage (depending on how much video/games I watch/play), which gets me through average usage easily.For longer trips, I have the 2200mAh (oem) extended battery which works great and will give me roughly 6-8 hours of usage.Incredible.The battery will stick out the back, but you can go to dealextreme-dot-com and buy a bigger battery cover (black or white) for less than four dollars.Sony will evidently release an official extended battery kit with a bigger battery cover in black and silver (no white though, booo!) for about 45 dollars sometime in the next month or so.

During gameplay, I have never had any slowdown of framerate or crashing EVER.Not once on over 14 games that I now own.Great performance.Videos and music also perform flawlessly.Load times are not that bad, and don't bother me much as it is only in the beginning mostly, and so gameplay during games is very quick.

The XMB (cross media bar) user interface is fantastic and so easy to use and rather stylish as well.Love using it.Video out to your TV is a cool feature that I have not yet used.

The Not-so-good:

1. Fingerprint magnet (black PSP).White one has no issues with this.
2. Cannot change background color to black when viewing photos.
3. Wifi is 802.11b only, no 802.11g (faster) support... yet.
4. Remote play is hit or miss regarding connectivity.Still not easy to connect to the PS3.Hopefully, Sony will improve upon this with updates.Remote on/off of the PS3 works well enough though.
5. Soon to be released extended battery kit will not include a white cover.No biggie, just go to dealextreme-dot-com to find a white one from Hong Kong (cheap too).
6. Limited audio/video codec support, including no DIVX/XVID support yet for videos or AAC for audio.But using PSP Video 9 (freeware) to convert videos works just fine to convert videos of most types into viewable 480x272 (or less if you want) mp4 video.
7. UMD spinning noise is a bit loud/harsh on the ears, but luckily it spins rarely and usually at the beginning of the game or rarely during gameplay (e.g. loading new levels, etc.).
8. Volume on audio/video playback from memory stick is TOO QUIET!Setting "dynamic normalization" under "audio" settings helps it get louder, but still it's too soft.The volume from the speakers is okay but I always use headphones so I cannot really judge it.
9. Expensive assessories.Getting a couple extended batteries, a battery charger, a nice protective case, a screen protector, some UMD cases, headphones, wrist strap, a few games, a nice memory stick pro duo (I got the 8gb one -- you won't want less than that), and the price quickly jumps up to almost PS3 range (easily over 500 dollars).
10. Cool accessories only available in Japan, including a camera, GPS, and DMB (mobile television).I don't really miss those though. Bottom Line:

As you can judge from my lengthy review, I love my new white PSP slim.It is so fun, versatile, and cool (remote play will impress your friends and family) that you will not regret plopping down some serious cash to build up your PSP slim system!

PSP Composite AV Cable Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So when I opened my package, the Composite AV link said "Videos, Music, and UMDs on your television."Unfortunately this was a warning that this site as well as the few others which sell this product are missing.Because in the big and fine print on the packaging, it clearly states gameplay cannot be played through these cables.

Bwuh?!?Yes, I was quite shocked and annoyed as well but there it is, the key feature of the PSP-2000 is lacking in these cables.And these worst part is how hard this information was to come by.Consider yourself warned.I sure wasn't.

PSP 3000 Limited Edition Rock Band Unplugged Entertainment Pack - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've been a PS3 household ever since the 60GB version came about so, with two pre-teens in the house, we were ripe for a PSP adoption. We actually bought the Ratchet & Clank Pack a few months ago because one of my kids was a fan of the game. Now, with 2 boys and one girl in the house, one PSP turns out not to be enough. We're on Hold for the Hannah Montana edition for our little girl but we had no choice but get the Rock Band edition for the one who just turned 'teen' last week.

The bundle costs a few more than the 'clean' PSP-3000 but, in our case, the convenience of getting it together with the game AND a memory card AND a downloaded movie justified the extra expense because the kid REALLY wanted both the PSP and the game and, if you add up all that you get with the bundle, you come out ahead this way.

The 'Pack' includes the following:

- The PSP 3000 itself in black
- 4GB memory card
- The game on a UMD disk
- A downloadable movie voucher
- Manual, promos, registration card, etc.

I couldn't discuss Rock Band myself because I don't really play Rock Band and my kid is still practicing so, see Rock Band Unplugged for absolutely EXCELLENT reviews from those who spent some serious time rocking on the PSP (I salute you). And here are the reviews for School of Rock (Widescreen Edition) (for the movie itself not for the PSN download).

Given the PSP's built-in Wi-Fi and its PS3 integration you can do quite a few things out of the box if you have Wi-Fi or a PS3 but, for a better gaming experience we ordered a 16GB memory stick and will be using the included 4GB on a camera because we are planning to store a few movies when taking it on the road. Movies take about 0.5GB.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
-------------------
I was surprised of how good and versatile and elegant this little console can be. It has most of the PS3 buttons, including one analog joystick, the display is large and bright, the resolution is good (480x272), and it responds quickly to controls. It appears to be solidly built. Unlike prior models, this one comes with a built-in microphone while the sound output can be either through the internal speakers or headphones (not included). After charging the battery, my kid was up and running and happy in no time. But, let me proceed with a more structured discussion.

STAND-ALONE OPERATION (DISCONNECTED)
----------------------------------------
The PSP 3000 will play games or movies delivered on UMDs or off a Memory Stick card. In addition, it will display photos and play music stored on the Memory card.

NETWORKING AND INTERNET CONNECTIVITY
--------------------------------------
The built-in Wi-Fi allows the PSP 3000 to access the Playstation Netowork and Playstation Store directly. Off the box, there is an Internet browser, a Search (the Internet) function, several Internet Radio applications and the ability to use the PSP as a Skype phone for as long as one has a Skype account and the PSP happens to be within the range of a Wi-Fi hotspot.

PS3 INTEGRATION
-----------------
After the PSP is paired with the PS3, the PS3 can 'push' video, photos, music and even PSP games downloaded from the Playstation Store when connected through a USB wire. When wireless, the PSP can basically take over the PS3 - actually display the PS3's own screen and display photos stored on the PS3, play music stored on the PS3. Movie play is not supported. Amazingly, you can access your PS3 remotely from anywhere in the Universe for as long as your PSP can access the Net via Wi-Fi.

When playing music, it's possible to play it on the PSP's own speakers/headphones or have the PS3 play it itself, the PSP therefore acting as a remote control device.

I suspect that additional capabilities exist that I am not aware of yet and we uncover new uses and new features all the time.

PC INTEGRATION
----------------
Through a USB connection, the PC will see the PSP's memory card as an attached drive. This will allow for music, photo or movie files to be transferred directly to the PSP.

ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT
----------------------
The PSP 3000 comes very close to being the perfect portable game-playing (and more) machine, at least in the Sony universe. Perfection would be achieved if the 'keyboard' interface were improved - it's awful now - if it had touch screen capabilities and if file transfers from the PS3 were possible wirelessly. Also on the wish list, I hope that there were more legal 'digital copy' movies available for the PSP. And Bluetooth.

PSP-3000 vs. PSP GO
---------------------
The question begs itself: how about a PSP Go? Well, in our case, the Go was out of the question because it wasn't available for purchase on our kid's birthday, because the price is a little to high - we have 3 kids - and because, at this time, we would rather keep our games on disks so that they can be easily shared amongst our tribe and won't be depended too much on our memory card's limitations. Of course, our concerns may not apply to everyone.

MY RATING
-----------
For anyone into Rock Band, this is the perfect bundle. If Rock Band is not your game, then you are probably better off with a 'clean' PSP and then get your own memory card, games, movies, etc.

For what you get, it's a 4.5 stars plus, rounded up to 5.

________________________

Note:

It would be almost sinful not to protect your new PSP. We use PSP Logitech PlayGear Pocket - Slim. It doesn't have compartments to store UMDs or memory cards but it does wrap around your 3000 like a glove and, in my view, it provides the best protection.

Ys Seven Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a huge fan of the Ys series who has played all the games chronologically, I can safely tell you that Ys Seven continues the amazing epic awesomeness of the series! The limited edition comes with a CD featuring music from Ys 7, an art book with amazing art from the three psp Ys games coming out, the game itself, and a cloth map! If you're not a Ys fan, you may find it odd that there is no "Ys" marked on the map... but this is only because you don't know the history x3 Ys is on there.
The game is a masterpiece thus far and although I haven't gotten to the end yet, I am close enough to say this game is well worth your money, even if you're not an Ys fan! I will be getting Ys (3): The Oath in Felghana as well as Ys I&II Chronicles, believe you me <3

World Soccer Winning Eleven 9 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been playing Winning Eleven (WE) since their installment in original Playstation. When the opportunity comes to have WE in PSP, surely, it's the first thing to grab. What you see in WE 9 for PS2 are duplicated in the PSP. The enjoyment of playing with either analog or a directional cursor.
However, what sadly in this package is the lack of tournament type of game, considering that we can have our own version of Champions League among those super clubs. Other thing, which is not too significant is the international team with a pseudonym players. You can change the name, but it's a bit tedious. Well, for this, anyone can wait for the option file distributed by someone over the net for anyone to feel WE realism.
For the skill option and any other things, to me, it's a PS2 version condensed in small UMD without a sound.

Metal Slug XX Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)just like the other metal slug games but new weapons, new enemies, new characters, and new vehicles. Basically all it is is part 7 from the DS version but on the PSP with the same options. It is much like the arcade version with the animated blood which lacks on the DS version, and has better graphics than the DS version. I recommend you buy the PSP version instead of the DS version its much better.

Product Description:
Metal Slug XX for PlayStation Portable (PSP) is the new addition to the beloved Metal Slug series that captures all the glory of the arcade experience and more. In it classic Metal Slug characters, as well as two from the King of Fighters series return to take on General Morden and his new and improved Rebel Army. Features include classic 2D gameplay, 70 unlockable missions, co-op multiplayer wireless support, the original Main Mission Story mode and a new Combat School ranking system.

Story
Thanks to the reconstruction proceeding at a miraculous pace, the scars of destruction to the thoroughly destroyed headquarters of the regular army and its surrounding city were becoming less and less noticeable. But just then, a video transmission arrives at HQ. Discovered in the clip is a brief flash of a figure appearing to be one of Morden's soldiers. HQ swiftly organizes a six-man covert strike force assigned with the following objectives: confirm the presence of Morden's forces, and eliminate them-with extreme prejudice. Marco, Tarma, Eri, and Fio are quickly assembled as the initial members for this mission. Ralf and Clark, who had previously thrown in their lots with Marco and company, are also soon on board. So begins our heroes infiltration of Garbage Island, perhaps the final lair of Morden's Forces. But will this be the last gasp of the dreaded General Donald Morden? We shall see.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was never too fond of RPG's when I was younger, no matter how much I loved video games.Final Fantasy VII changed that, along with how I looked at the genre, as I, like many others, became addicted to the game's emotional storyline and well-rounded characters.Since then, we have seen a number of tie-ins, spin-offs, and even feature films based on the Final Fantasy VII universe, and now, Crisis Core has finally arrived.Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII is a prequel to the game, where you play as Cloud's old friend and partner Zack, and uncover secrets and revelations that are full of surprises, and lead up to the events of Final Fantasy VII.First off, the game is is simply gorgeous to look at.Not just the cut-scenes, which themselves are beautiful and stunning, but even the in-game graphics look great, making this undoubtedly the best looking RPG to hit the PSP, and the game's voice acting is even better.The game's combat system is also worth mentioning because it isn't quite turn based, and isn't quite real time.Instead, it is a fast moving system that is quite fun in itself, even if it may come off as a bit too easy for some.Leveling up and performing Limit Breaks is now determined by the slot machine-esque DMW system, which is a fun little twist as well.There are familiar characters abound as well: Cloud, Aerith, Tifa, and of course, Sephiroth.The game's story wonderfully weaves into FFVII mythology, and offers some new perspectives on Zack and Sephiroth, and those respects alone, Crisis Core is worth picking up.All in all, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII is a stunning achievement that is an absolute essential addition to your PSP library, and needless to say, if you love everything Final Fantasy VII and you own a PSP, you have to pick up Crisis Core.

Seven years prior to the events of FINAL FANTASY VII - The Shinra Company is rapidly increasing its influence through its monopoly on mako energy and military might. With the burgeoning city of Midgar as its base and symbol of prosperity, Shinra is on the verge of establishing absolute dominance over the world. SOLDIER is a group of skilled combat operatives within Shinra. The elite within the group - those strong enough to be deemed SOLDIER 1st Class - are respected and idolized by the citizenry.

What secrets bind the three SOLDIER 1st Class operatives? For Zack, a cruel and fateful struggle awaits...

Harvest Moon: Boy & Girl Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Yes this is a new version of Harvest Moon: back to nature with a few new twists.
Firstly, you will notice you may choose to be male Or female
(and yes they both have branching storylines and also different Marriage results!)
farming is Exact, possibly a little to exact as BTN (back to nature) but this is by far the best version for farming sim fans of the series. also back is the mining area which I had missed in other HM (harvest moon)
games (the ores for powering up tools are in here as well as other
Secrets!)

the sound is now dolby and the resolution has been notched up a little more then the ps1 version (its Progressive scan. go ahead and try running it on your TV with the new PSP go ahead... didn't work did it? you Have to have a Progressive scan high def. tv in order to use the Component cables the AV cables are for video etc. guess I proved my point on the graphics)
the animals can be fun or annoying, depends on what kind of farmer you are. Me personally, I prefer crop growing throughout summer *litle chicken raising too* then hothouse growing in winter! house and hothouse upgrades are here as well. this was a brilliant move to bring this gem to the psp!

graphics arent exactly God of War,(they are good though) but Perfect the way they are 5 star

sound is the same in dolby. good 4 star

to me 5 star! but not for everyone unless you have played the others.

Overall: this is by far my favorite Harvest Moon Game but stay tuned for my Innocent Life comparison Next Month.
5 Stars for Ownership of the farming/life sim game niche market.

What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!? 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I haven't used my PSP in a long time, but after reading about this game I decided to take a chance.I ordered the game, plugged in my PSP to charge and waited for Amazon's next day delivery.When the time came I was blown away!The graphics take me back to late 80's and early 90's, the game play keeps me glued to the PSP, and the game's humor takes the cake! The game is like tower defense and a mini life simulator rolled into one.Now these two genres alone are worn out, but with both combined with this kind of style and humor, this game is a winner.

You are an evil god summoned to build a dungeon and create the evil monsters that inhabit the dungeon.What makes this fun is the way the game mechanics work.You smash the blocks to build the rooms and halls and by hitting certain blocks you release the lower forms of the food chain, they combine and multiply and spread out to "infect" other blocks that allow you to create the next tier of the food chain.The next tier feeds off the tier below it and they multiply and so on.However, you can't just start destroying blocks willy nilly, you have to plan out the design and keep the wide open spaces to a minimum.There is a monster almanac in the game that keeps up with what monsters you have created along with little stories and humorous bits.As you are building out the dungeon waves of heroes come in and try to wipe out your minions and capture the head honcho "Badman", the guy that you work for.There are training scenarios, challenge levels, and a story mode.

PLUS, you get both the first and second game all on one disk if you buy the UMD, they are sold separately if you download the game via Sony's store.The first game can be accessed by pressing L then R five times at the main screen. L,R,L,R,L,R,L,R,L,R.If you play through the first game before starting the second you unlock extra levels in the second version.

Bottom line, if you like old Dungeon Keeper game, tower defense, life simulators, nostalgic graphics, and snarky "I don't take myself too seriously" humor from a game, you will absolutely LOVE this game.I cannot put it down!

SNK Arcade Classics Vol 1 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)SNK Playmore has been releasing budget priced compilation discs on the PS2 of their various franchises for a while now, and SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 continues the tradition.The first thing you'll notice is that, finally, SNK has changed up the menu screen, and added goals to each of the 16 games that when completed will unlock new features and extras.Featured here in this collection are titles found on previous collections like the first installments of Art of Fighting, World Heroes, Metal Slug, and Fatal Fury; but there are some real gems to be found here as well.Baseball Stars 2, King of the Monsters, King of Fighters '94, Samurai Shodown, Last Resort, Top Hunter, and Shock Troopers are all wonderful experiences that make this compilation worth picking up alone.Some games aren't all that special, like Burning Fight, while others are decent enough like Super Sidekicks 3 and Sengoku.That being said, you won't find any bad games in this collection, but what really hurts it are some technical issues.Shock Troopers and King of the Monsters specifically suffer from some very noticable slowdown, while Art of Fighting, Fatal Fury, World Heroes, and Sengoku feature archaic controls that show the age of the games.Flaws aside though, you can't beat what you get with SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1: 16 games ranging from decent to great, a nice list of unlockables, and an ultra-budget price tag.All in all, if you're an SNK fan, you already know this collection is a must own.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have not played the console versions of GTA extensively, but from what I have played, this game accurately captures everything and ports it over successfully to the handheld format. I wouldn't call this the best game for the PSP, but it's definitely in the Top 25.
