At the risk of sounding like an old curmudgeon, I’ll say this: games today don’t have the same magic that the games of years ago possessed. Before anyone gets all up in arms, let me explain myself. I’m not talking about whether older games are “better” or “worse” than games of today. Instead, I’m talking about the “magic” of games today. Do you remember sitting down in front of a computer as a child or teenager, being absolutely captivated by a game? Not just fun, not just “stay up till 4 a.m.” engrossed, but actually captivated? Let’s talk about whether today’s games are less magical than games of old…
Still jonesing for some retro-gaming action? There are several avenues that you can take to scratch that classic games itch, including Xbox Live Arcade, the Playstation Store, Nintendo Wii’s classic console downloads, or emulation (shhhhh…). But what if you want to play some of those old school gaming favourites for free – and play them right now – no fuss, no consoles, and no software? You know, just you and your (flash and/or javascript capable) browser; say, during a much needed break from your regular grind. A while back, on 40Tech.com, I covered six kick ass ‘play classic video games online’ sites that will help you get down with some old school arcade and console action right now. Immediately…
On so many different levels, I liken my journey through MMO cyberspace to the movie “The Wizard of Oz”. I am Dorothy and have suddenly been whisked away to bright shiny new spaces in time with so many new, different and, at times, weird things assaulting my senses at every turn. I wander the virtual Yellow Brick Road seeking an online domicile for my wandering gamer’s (gamr’s?) heart, because there is NO place like home, after all.
But how do I find home? How do I find the time to find home? Every day there is another MMO release, another game clamoring for my attention, and in my position as a reviewer and journalist at the WarCry Network, I am asked to play all of them; to write of my impressions. Yet all I truly want to do is find ‘home’, a game that will capture my attention for a long while; a game that will transport me to that place complete with friends and safety. So I play. I look. I experience. I seek….and I write. This column will be my avenue to share my travels down the Yellow Brick Road…
On April 1st, 2010, Sony released the 3.21 firmware update which removes all access to the OtherOS functionality for the original PS3 — and it wasn’t an April Fool’s joke, either. Whether you like it or not, the ability to install Linux on the PS3 has gone bye bye. If you haven’t updated to 3.21 yet, however, it is a fairly simple process to backup your PS3, format your drive, and then restore your Playstation 3 with all save files, personal files, and system settings intact.
If you have applied the update already, without previously removing your Linux partition, you may find yourself suddenly with much less space on your PS3 drive and seemingly no way to get it back….
Big words, we know, but with your help, they will become more than true – they will become… legend…
Don’t mind the playful chatter. We’re just excited to be online and ready to deliver our own particular take on games, gaming, and gaming related… stuff. There a ton of great sites on the net that give fully detailed, six page reviews on the latest and greatest games. They’ll talk about frames per second, benchmarks, and granular details about the smallest aspects of gameplay.
We don’t care about any of that…
