When the Sony PlayStation was launched it was an anomaly. Gamers were not quite sure what to expect from this newcomer. Sony had plenty of experience in gaming prior though. They worked with both Sega and Nintendo during the 16-bit era for instance. The first Sony console would go on to devastate the old school […]

“PlayStation Classic” Set For December US Launch
September 19th, 2018 Michael Crisman If you’re like most gamers, every new console generation prompted a massive sell-off of your old tech to make room (and money) for the new kid on the block. It made sense at the time, with your limited budget and desire to move on to the latest and greatest. But time passed, you got older, […]

To Guide or Not to Guide: Totally Unauthorized Tomb Raider II Pocket Guide (1997, BradyGames)
September 5th, 2018 Michael Crisman Having been thoroughly insulted by BradyGames’ treatment of Tomb Raider II in their Totally Unauthorized PlayStation Games Book, Volume 5, I decided to see if they could redeem themselves with this inexpensive strategy guide. Well, inexpensive as long as you were American. Canadians, as always, get plowed on the exchange rate, which should show them […]

To Guide or Not to Guide: Totally Unauthorized PlayStation Games Book, Volume 5 (1998, BradyGames)
June 29th, 2018 Michael Crisman “To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them?” — William Shakespeare Dear old Will never had video games in mind when he penned the […]

Final Fantasy IX PSOne Versus PlayStation 4 Comparison Video
September 24th, 2017 Carl Williams When a new console arrives it is only natural for gamers to want more games. One of the quickest ways for developers to deliver new games is to offer remakes. For some fans this is great news, for others it is an annoyance. I personally like remakes if they are moderated a bit – release […]

PS1 Collecting: Thirteen Must-Haves For Anyone on a Budget
July 30th, 2017 Michael Crisman If there’s an easier system to pick up and start collecting for than the original Sony PlayStation, I’ve yet to find it. The biggest entry point obstacle to collecting on old school systems is usually buying the console itself, but the PS1 is so ubiquitous and inexpensive it’s absurd. Twenty years ago, putting a PlayStation […]

The Italian Job Retrospective
March 1st, 2017 CaptainD When I got my hands on an ultra-cheap second-hand PlayStation One a few years ago, one of the first games I tried out was The Italian Job. I’m not a huge fan of the film (it certainly has its moments, but overall it didn’t think it was that great), but it seemed that this conversion […]

Playstation Agony, Part 4: Mary-Kate and Ashley: Magical Mystery Mall
December 11th, 2016 Michael Crisman “Just saw the stats on last week’s column,” Carl said, cornering me on the way out the front door. “Got an explanation?” “Surprised me too,” I said. “Who knew we had that many Dukes of Hazzard fans? Good thing for me you put it in the bag. Couldn’t have made my quota of candy bar […]
