Playstation news

Some psp blockbuster games is getting an HD facelift. The games will be customized and developed specifically for the ps3 and will become available as blu-ray games. You will be able to share the same save data on both the psp version of the game and the ps3 remastered version. That means you can play the game at home on your ps3 and then continue where you left of on the go with your psp. Some games will get 3D and add-on content. The first one's will of course come out in the japanese marked, and it has been announced that the first title will be Monster hunter portable 3.

Then a quick update relating the PSN: Sony has stated that they have had no reports of customer identity theft
since the hack last month, but it has cost them over 171 million dollars.

Portal 2 achievement guide - part 1

I am just about done with my achievements in portal 2, so why not share some guidans for those of you that might need help. Of course I wont do the ones you get for completing tests and the game etc. In this first part I'll do all the achievements you can get in Chapter 2, chamber 6. So if you want to do all of these at the same time read all three before you begin, this is important! Good luck.

Final transmission
The first thing you have to do here is when you are at the end of the room, press the button and catch the radio that comes flying. Then you make portals so you get over to the starting place, and then make portals like shown in the picture below, then just fling your self on the aerial faith plates. Where you will end up is in a secret room, the radio will change it's transmission and then you are done.

Drop box
This is one of the easiest. You simply have to drop a cube on a button without touching the cube, so all you do is place a portal under a cube and over a button. When you come to the end of the room and press the button to release the garbage and again press is to get the box, put a portal on the first plate it hits and one over the big button.

Pturretdactyl

Here you have to use an aerial faith plate to launch a turret. Simply catch the turret who comes flying with the junk (to catch both the radio and the turret it might be easier to place portals where you do in drop box so everything lands on the button). Go and fetch it and make your way back to the starting place to use that faith plate, or you can try to drop it on the one that is right beside you by the button.

weekend game bargain: RIFT

On Steam this weekend you get 33% off if you buy RIFT. The game usually costs 49,99€, but this weekend it only costs 33,49€, and that's quite a nice price for a brand new mmorgp! (Massively multiplayer roleplaying game for those who didn't know).

RIFT is the new big mmo and has actually been very successfull, and of course I have to compare it to wow and say that this might be the mmo that has come closest to wow's success of all the one's that has come out since 2004 when wow exploded. Now enough of that, wow will always be my favorite, but if you wan't a break from wow or are thinking on buying this game I recommend you do it this weekend.

Psn update and other game news

First of all I want to say congrats to all my fellow Norwegians, for it is may 17th, our national day! Or constitution day if you may. The weekend and monday have been slow on the game front and really buisy for me, well I've had a LAN at my apartment, so good-buisy. I've discovered some cool new games which I'm gonna write about very soon, mostly free and otherwise cheap games. I like to review casual cheap games that you might not have heard about, since the internet is flooded with information on the big ones. But anyway, I have collected some news from the week so far for you.

• First off: the PSN is back up! Not in all countries as we speak, but they are working on it one by one, so be prepared! The date was originally may 31, so this is a nice suprise from Sony.

• Ubisoft is in the process of making movies from some of their games. Splinter cell, assassins creed and ghost recon are still the only three games they are talking about, but more may come. It will be big projects and Ubisoft will be keeping sure that everything will be true to the games.

• Lots of short Modern warfare 3 teasers went up this weekend, every one of them for different countries, you can find them all on youtube of course, but here is the one for america.

 The last part is in russian, and means "One. Eliminate enemy hopes for victory."  (Correct me if I'm wrong russians).

Blogger bug

So the last two days blogger has been down and I haven't been able to even log in. The last three posts and the poll I put out the days before that has also been deleted and not even saved, so sorry for the lack of action and sorry for blogger's incompetent workers! Blogger says they are working on restoring the deleted posts right now since this have happened to absolutely everyone that uses blogger. So we'll see and hope they are able, if not I'll send an angry post and fix it myself!  No matter what I will be back soon!

Diablo 3 news

The wait is finally over, well atleast very soon. Blizzard announced this week that the diablo 3 beta will be coming this fall. No news yet on whether it'll be an open or closed beta, but atleast it's a sign that the release is not that far away. When it comes to the actual release of the game no date has been announced yet, but blizzard president Mike Morhaime says that a 2011 release is something they are hoping for. Even though we know blizzard loves to postpone releases and tease us over and over again, they usually announce their release dates very short before it actually happens ,so the release is probably going to come as a blow to the face just when we aren't looking. I'm actually going to believe blizz this time and say that the game will come out sometime between christmas this year and february next year. What do you think? Are you as optimistic as me?
