Vita will be delayed, I will be pissed!

                           
   Sort of late news, everyone knows now that Sony is delaying the release of their next portable console in America and Europe. Those are the most valuable markets outside of Asia. If Sony really misses this golden opportunity of destroying the Nintendo 3DS during the Holiday season, the Vita will not be a success story. Apple already has an increasing hold on portable gaming with new more powerful devises just flying off the sales counters.  
Kazuo Hirai has this to say: "The PlayStation business is a key pillar,”  If you really meant that Mr Hirai why are you demolishing your key pillar by making bad business decisions?
  “The video-game industry is evolving constantly. My expectation is for the PlayStation business to remain at the forefront of this very dynamic industry.” If this is true why aren't you Mr Hirai doing something to deliver faster results? Why hasn't the Playstation brand evolved in all this time?  Are Sony's higher-ups so bad at their job that they can't see reality even if it hit them in the face? If I was a Sony board member I'd be going insane! (Mr Hirai please collect your things. Yo fired!) 
 I can not stand it anymore, some say(Jordan Wyatt) I like to make excuses  for Sony; that I'm a fanboy. Well I am, I have always liked Sony. The Original Playstation is to me one of the best consoles ever, I loved the PS2 and I could not believe how cool the PS3 was. I even bought the latter because it had a BlueRay player built in, which at the moment everyone thought was crazy. But me, I believed in everything it is. I just hope for my fandom that Sony gtes it together soon. Or there is always Apple to root for.

PSN pass announcement.

This story from PSX gives rumors of a PSN pass confirmation of its existence and that Sony will implement it on the new Resistance game. I like checking the comments from people, a lot of them seem to think they are going to be gauged.

Rated "V for Violent"

Well by this time everybody knows it is legal in California to sell Violent Video Games to minors, just like music , movies, and books. The law which used to prohibit minors to go into their favorite game joint to buy a violent game; was struck down by the supreme court last week. The issue was raised a while ago and it went all the way to the Supreme Court. In this article from  2010 several of the points of view were raised.
My personal opinion is that of course there is a restriction matter and we should be aware of what is being done to enforce it. Parents are the very first defense line in this case, no minor could buy a video game by themselves if they don't work for it. Since money is involved it had to come from somewhere and how is it being spent should also be a concern of the parents. If these principles are enforced since a very young age parents would have nothing to fear.
Blaming game developers for the content is just an excuse from people not wanting to be responsible of their own actions. Blaming retailers for selling a product they are meant to sell is just contradictory. There is a parental advisory on the packaging already which is pretty standard in all entertainment media. In video games the rating is pretty elaborate an it goes from "E for everyone" to "M for mature" and it was put in place by a gaming company called SEGA after they were criticized for releasing Mortal Kombat with a secret code that let you see "all the good stuff".
In the end its hard for families that both parents work to have an eye 100% of the time on the kids and what they are doing; but households should always have certain rules that must be respected by "E".   

How come no posts?

If you are one of the few people reading my blog, you might have noticed I didn't post anything during E3. This is because I have been busy with The Patriotcast Show and I'm taking a short break from writing but I plan to update the blog as much as I can.
In the meantime I want to give you a round up of what E3 left me with this year. One of the things that I noticed was that many companies want to bring sequels to their most famous ip's. Not that this is bad but I felt that it was needed to bring new ip's to get people curious. For example Konami's new game "Neverdead" has things that factor in getting people interested. For me the fact that you can dismember yourself and take control of your body parts separately makes this game very interesting.
The big guns, Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo didn't shine as much as they could have. Microsoft basically just came out and said "hey look at us, we are NOT Sony!". Sony came out to say "We live!!! We got Vita!!!(get it?) "We are so sorry we don't know how to take care of your info!".  Nintendo... ah god dam it Nintendo... Why do you have to make everything extremely Japanese...
Overall to me E3 was a good experience this year because it is my first time officially covering the event, recording daily shows with friends over skype and meeting our correspondent Toby Edwards from Zath UK, in person.
To all of you thanks for reading and always remember, Tell a Friend!

New Contra game could be the remake we always wanted!

This video suggests that the classic Contra of our youths might be in the making. The video ends showing a very familiar image for Contra fans, with the subtitle "they are coming". This is one the videos that promises E3 will be an awesome event this year!

PS Store back up!

PLAYSTATIONS STORE UP NOW!!! I just received a tweet and what do you know? PS store came back up today I KNEW IT that last "maintenance" was just another step forward!

I feel touched... in a good way!

Hello everyone I was just checking the stats of this minuscule games blog. I see that in the small time that I have doing this, many people viewed my posts. I don't know who you are, I assume many of you got directed here from hearing me in "The Patriotcast". I have to say thanks to all of you, this moment inspires me to keep on doing what I like to call a passion. I loved video games from the moment I turned on an Atari console back in the 80's. I love it now and I'm guessing I'll love it until I die. So if you like what you read or you don't like it, stop by the comments and leave me a message please. I hope you keep on visiting, thanks again!
