The Home Open Beta has now been out for about two months now and PS3 owners have had plenty of time to check it out and see what it is all about. We constantly hear people complaining about the service and saying that Home is a waste of time and money. Well is this true? Read the rest of this entry »

The release of the home beta has come and past, many have liked it, and many have hated it. For me, I am generally displeased with Sony’s product.

Legend of Princess, the artistic Zelda inspired indy action-based game from developers Konjak, was fully released out to the public for free and will give you a quick fix while you wait for the next Legend of Zelda title from Nintendo. The similarities between the two games are noticeable, but it was very well done, while maintaining it’s own 2D style. Read the rest of this entry »
