Review: Bayonetta

Submitted by Xenoveritas on Thu, 2010-01-28 21:40
System: Xbox 360 (reviewed), PS3
Score: 5/5 5 (Excellent)

Devil May Cry. Let's just get that out of the way. Bayonetta is an amped-up Devil May Cry. The cutscenes are crazier, the bosses are larger, and the music is more annoying. If you like Devil May Cry, you're going to like Bayonetta.

I guess Sony updated the PlayStation Network avatar thingy (they call it a "portable ID" - whatever).

So here's my updated version:


Get your Portable ID!

Aw yeah. 1 Platinum trophy.

LittleBigPlanet's Lose-Lose Premium Costume Dilemma

Submitted by Xenoveritas on Fri, 2008-10-31 21:47

LittleBigPlanet has announced that they're offering special "premium" costumes that you're expected to pay to download.

It's a lose-lose proposition, really, though. A big part of LittleBigPlanet is the online community. This means that there are basically two options:

  1. You download the actual costume. Anyone who has not bought the costume won't see you in it.
  2. You download the right to use the costume. The costume is then pushed to all users in a content patch, so others can see your premium virtual threads.

Testing the PS3's JavaScript Performance

Submitted by Xenoveritas on Wed, 2008-10-29 04:36

According to Masaki Takase, the PS3's JavaScript performance beats that of IE7's.

Really? That sounds like something that's testable! Cue SunSpider!

Well, actually, no. Because the PS3 browser can't handle all the SunSpider tests. I had to remove three of them to get it to complete. Results in the full article.

RetroView: Devil May Cry 3 versus Devil May Cry 4

Submitted by Tim on Fri, 2008-07-25 04:21

We've recently been playing Devil May Cry 4, which got me back into playing Devil May Cry 3.

You see, Xeno, with his shiny black colossus that he theoretically got to play MGS4 and then promptly ignored it, can play DMC4. See, I don't have an XBOX or a PS3, and don't feel like getting the PC version (DMC is the epitome of a CONSOLE game) so I'm stuck with my older DMC3SE. You know what, though? I don't mind.

PlayStation Network portable ID

Submitted by Xenoveritas on Thu, 2008-07-17 15:02

With the addition of trophies, it was inevitable that eventually Sony would copy the online profile aspect of Xbox Live.

And they have, sort of:

That's it. An avatar, your user name, and what would be an "about me" message if I ever bother to fill it in.
