The Que$tion of the PSVita

With the new iteration of the PSP coming out this year in Japan and next year in North America and Europe, many people are really excited for the games that have been announced,  like Uncharted, Resistance, Persona 4, etc. But there are also games coming out that are multiplatform, mostly ports like the Metal Gear Solid Collection, the Zone of the Enders Collection, and so on. We know the prices of the console itself, $250 for wifi, $300 for GPS, but the question is how much will these games cost?

Che Guevera and Fidel Castro, Stars of their own video game

Play as Che and kill Capitalists in Guerilla War coming soon to PSN

Having just done a review on communist video games, this news is actually pretty cool. Neo Geo games have been coming out for the PSP and PS3 recently, and four titles were rated today by the ESRB. Athena, HAL21, Ikari Warriors, and Guerilla War. Now I’ve never heard about these games, but the last one, Guerilla War apparently was called Guevera in Japan, and they just changed the localization in the West so we wouldn’t get all anti-communist on em (this was 1987 after all).

Are video games art?

That’s a question that a lot of gamers ask each other, and the answer is a tricky one. Many people say that art should only serve itself or… that is shouldn’t be for monetary gain, or there’s no “Citizen Kane” of video games. These are all very complex conversations but there’s one thing that’s important for all mediums be they art or not, their legacy.
