Tecmo Gets Creative with Their Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma Mandatory Install

It’s no secret that I do not like mandatory installs for my game systems. I don’t mean to focus on the PS3, but it’s currently the only game console that does this so, here we go again…
Let’s forget the fact that installs suck for people with smaller hard drives. And let’s forget the fact that requiring said installs completely negates the benefit of having the massive storage capacity of Blu-Ray disc (if I have to install a third of the game anyway what does it matter if it’s off of one third of the br-disc, or one out of 2 dvds?). And let’s forget the fact that most of these games do not require installs on “other” game consoles for some mysteriously magical reason. The biggest thing I personally hate about mandatory installs is the feeling I get when I can’t actually get instant entertainment from my game disc.
Look out Leo, Sony has its own Blood Diamond
According to a recent article on Yahoo’s Game site, Sony is the cause of a technological equivalent to the diamond trade that has caused the slaughter and oppression of many in the African Congo region.
Speaking of Rock Band…
Posted 6/11/08If you purchased some of last weeks Jimmy Buffet song offerings for your rocking pleasure you may have noticed that they were new recordings done for just for Rock Band. In fact ol’ Jimmy went so far as to throw props to Rock Band itself in his song “Volcano.” Now I wouldn’t have thought the demographics would include too many other Buffet fans besides me, but I applaud Harmonix for providing such an eclectic lineup and Jimbo for going the extra mile to acknowledge the gaming culture as a medium worth a fresh studio visit.
