See ‘A Crack a Time’ Ratchet and Clank Future Launch Trailer

With the game out now, ‘A Crack in Time’ will set to conclude the story arc started by Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction and Ratchet and Clank Future: A Quest for Booty. Players control both Ratchet and Clank as they set to reunite and save the universe. Celebrate the launch of the game this week by watching the launch trailer.

Featuring new abilities as Ratchet’s hoverboots (allowing him to traverse through levels at high speeds) and a time manipulation gameplay mechanic (where by you can record multiple clones of Clank), there is certainly a new dimension added in this latest iteration. … Continue Reading

Netflix is About to Hit PS3 Users!

October 27, 2009 by MegaClank PS3, Platform, Sony No Comments

Netflix on PS3!

And the internet is sure to let their rage be heard. “Oh wow, Sony people are fags, they’re just copying XBox, how gay,” “Xbox already has this feature, too late,” “This isn’t needed, we have a video service,” and the list goes on.

But why all the trolling? Why all the hate? Can’t we all get along and share in the joy that is Netflix? Sure XBox 360 users have had this feature for a couple of months now, and sure Sony has a video service already, but if you already have a Netflix subscription, streaming on to your console is great! And the PS3’s Netflix doesn’t require you pay for Gold membership to use it!

And others who don’t have Netflix, but are into streaming videos will surely dig this. Word on the street has it, users will get a free Blu-ray shipped to them to allow the streaming to work, hopefully until a Firmware update is released of course. This is so that they can take advantage of the BD-Live feature. But anything of this sorts is all about rejoicing.

I hear it’s awesome on the 360, I’m sure it’ll be great on the PS3. If it comes to the Wii, what else can I do but be happy for them as well? Here’s to hoping many will thoroughly be pleased with the new feature.

And this just adds to the list of what a media-hub the PS3 really is, so thumbs up Sony!

If you’d like to sign up early, here’s the link: http://www.netflix.com/ps3.

PlayStation 3 Rebranding

PlayStation 3 Rebranding

So as you may or may not be aware: the PlayStation 3 has gone through a new rebranding and jump-started marketing campaign. What with the new PS3 Slim hitting shelves at an all-time-awesome price of $299.99, who doesn’t want one now? It’s oh so tantilizing. Although, the price drop is not all that has changed.

The new PS3 Logo is a bit like the old PS2 one, but the edges have been lost, for a more sleek feel to it. It’s classy is what it is. Even the boxart for games have changed to accommodate this new logo. Stacked upon that, the new push to advertise.

How many commercials advertising the PS3 would you see? Not many, if any at all. With this new drive, we’ve seen some very well done ads boasting that the PS3 “Only does everything.” … Continue Reading

Microtastic Reviews: Zombie Edition

Plants vs Zombies
Developer: Popcap Games
Price: $3 Dollars
Platform: iPhone

There is something delightful about the charming simplicity of Popcap’s titles, and Plants vs Zombies continues this legacy. Much like Peggle and any of its past franchises, Plants vs Zombies takes a single round to comprehend all of its basic rules. Though it never becomes difficult [...]

Matt Hazard: Blood Bath & Beyond Review

January 13, 2010

Matt Hazard: Blood Bath & Beyond Review

The original Matt Hazard had the potential to be a great game, good voice work with the likes of Neil Patrick Harris and Will Arnett. A brilliant backstory and marketing campaign which broke the fourth wall entirely, and the story while thin was entertaining and amusing. The sole problem came in the gameplay department which [...]

SB Plays The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

When the newest entry in the beloved Zelda series was announced earlier this year, people were both excited and skeptical. How well would a train in the Zeldaverse go over with fans? Would the gameplay be a replay of Phantom Hourglass, with its infamously numerous trips through the Temple of the Ocean King?
Now that the [...]
