Excitement builds for the PS Vita

With just over a week left until the Aussie release of Sony PlayStation's exciting new handheld the PS Vita Australians are ecstatic at the chance to finally get their hands on a portable platform for real gamers, titles like Uncharted: Golden Abyss are sure to fly off the shelf.

Naturally as one of these Aussie gamers I am united in the enthusiasm and looking at February 28th as a new day for handheld consoles when people might move away from this app based gaming obsession that has put real games on the back shelf. The only question is; can Sony pull it off?. Reviews so far are mixed but Australians have always been enthusiastic about our friends from Japan and I have no doubts that this console will be something beautiful.

On Sony PlayStation's Youtube channel you can check out an excellent advertisement that I felt really highlighted what the PS Vita is all about, with great AAA titles and the ability to play them comfortably with dual analogue sticks the only way this could be a monumental fail would be some sort of apocalyptic event, unless you are an avid fan of new age consipiracy/fantasy then I would say drop your money on one when it launches here and let the good times roll.

Check out the advertisement.

Will Australian TOR players get a free switch?

It was announced back in December of 2011 that Australia and New Zealand would indeed be getting the much loved MMORPG from Bioware Star Wars: The Old Republic sometime in march if all goes well and it has even been hinted that importers of the game may be given some option to change to a local server.
Stephen Reid  Senior, Online Community Manager made this post on the official community forums back in December:

"We can confirm that Star Wars: The Old Republic will be launching in Australia and New Zealand in the spring of 2012.

Right now we are targeting March 1st, but that could change as our number one priority is making sure that customers have a great service to play on.

For those of you who may have already imported the game, we will be investigating solutions to allow you to continue to play on a local server once they come online in March.

EDIT: As pointed out, southern hemisphere seasons are reversed! When we say 'Spring' you can substitute 'Q1/Q2 2012'. Apologies for that".

That news is rather old but as someone who finally decided to take the dip and import now rather than wait it is somewhat comforting, though from what I have seen so far playing on U.S servers does not seem to be a huge problem. If Bioware does decide to allow this for free TOR players here in the oceanic would certainly be grateful and may even forgive the fact that game was not released here simultaneously with North America.

Guess who's back?

This blog has declined somewhat (completely) to little more than another static site in a vast universe of blogger domains, but I'm back now and here is a little rundown on my plans for the future.

Making Skyrim even better

The Internet is abuzz with TES V: Skyrim reviews singing it's praises, meanwhile the official modders tools have not even been released yet but the modders community is already hard at work creating new textures and pleasing sick unsatisfied nerds with "new skins" for females within the game. Anyway here are some of the ones I have been using over the past few days.

Welcome to your new home, Skyrim's open world

Just in case you weren't excited enough Bethesda decided to up the ante by releasing another trailer of Skyrim that's focus is mainly the world that you inhabit (Skyrim!).

A glitch in hollywood is a gem in gaming

There has been much fuss lately about the recent decline of Hollywood creativity, From movies made in the 80's right up to the big production films of the last decade nothing is safe, but this blog is not about films, it's about video games so what is the relation?

GTA V what's it gonna take?

Ever since gamers got their sweaty, carpal tunnel hands on Grand Theft Auto 3 way back in 2001

There's something in my eye

It would seem that with the inception of every new game you'd think more developers would want to explore the vast spectrum of human emotions, but they don't. Every now and then some brave developer decides to make a game like Heavy Rain that makes us as gamers feel

Xbox 360s ageing DVD format

With the release of Battlefield 3 and the surprise of an optional 1.5GB HD update in order for our Xbox 360 versions to look on par with its counterpart on Ps3, one can only wonder how big their hard drive might need to get by the end of next year.

For many Xbox 360 owners this is not such a big problem as they will have
