After Burner: Black Falcon lookin’ good

Posted on January 26, 2012 by admin

After Burner: Black Falcon from Planet Moon Studios is starting to shape up to be one of the better looking titles on Sony’s handheld console. This classic from the halycon days of Sega has been blessed with polygons beyond measure and look set to set the skies alight with its fast-paced action. This PSP-exclusive title will come with a completely unique storyline as well as character development, something which is getting rarer these days for video games. There are over 30 single player missions to keep you occupied when this title hits store shelves, while various multiplayer modes are guaranteed to keep you going long after the single player novelty has worn off. Look out for After Burner: Black Falcon’s release sometime next spring. Source: PSP Fanboy

Lunar Knights looking good

Posted on January 25, 2012 by admin

You might not understand any Japanese, but the advertisements for Lunar Knights look pretty sweet. So far Nintendo has showcased was top-notch,raising fears that the actual game itself might be a letdown. Let’s hope that this scenario does not happen with most games that feature fancy graphics but gameplay so shallow you can’t even drown an ant in. Source: DS Fanboy

Luminous Arc screens looking good

Posted on January 25, 2012 by admin

The DS is a platform that is suited for RPGs as well, and as you can see from the latest screenshot of Luminous Arc, they are to die for. Hopefully the publisher will bring a translated version across the Pacific, or we’ll just be forced to pick up some working knowledge of the Japanese language and import a copy of this gorgeous game from Japan. The gameplay is untested yet as the developer is rather green in the gaming arena, so it is touch and go at the moment until somebody comes up with something more concrete regarding the game.

Posted on January 24, 2012 by admin

We all know how Metal Gear Solid is one great game on the PSOne and PS2 platforms, but how will it fare on the PSP when it is released? From what we know at Gamespot, they have what looks like a near-complete version of Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops with them, so head on there for a detailed video preview that boasts a whole lot of new in-game footage.

Should Have Stayed on Vacation

Posted on January 12, 2012 by admin

Should Have Stayed on Vacation:

Last year, while traveling through India, I was able to sporadically follow India’s Boxing Day triumph over South Africa (I bought a newspaper, at Cochin’s airport, detailing India’s win at Durban). This year, I was traveling again over the Christmas/New Year’s break; and again, I was able to remotely track India test cricket in the holiday season. This time, of course, it featured a defeat at Melbourne (I sent text messages, from Puerto Rico’s Culebra Island to a bunch of friends asking for scores and details; the responses, even if not the scores, were gratifying).

On my way back from Puerto Rico, I noted (to my mysteriously less-than-enthusiastic wife) that even if I missed the first two days of the Sydney test, I would be able to watch the rest of the action once I got home. Well, the Sydney test is over; one day of cricket action has not been used; and really, when I come to think of it all, it might just have been best if I’d stayed on vacation and ignored the cricket altogether.

Two more heavy losses overseas, and for many who will not have paid sufficient attention to the home series against the West Indies, it will seem like the 4-0 thumping of the summer has now been transformed into a running 6-0 scoreline (and perhaps one equally deserving of a response consisting of equal parts hilarity and grief). I will conduct my best impression of the mature, sage, experienced, reasonable, long-suffering Indian cricket fan soon enough, and urge patience, forbearance, and sympathy. Soon, but not just right now. For now, I’d like to just indulge in a bit of chest-beating and wailing (if you have speakers, turn them down now; the terrible keening sound I’m emitting is truly ghastly.).

What makes this all so terribly embarrassing is just how old-fashioned it all is. Imagine that India had lost to a pair of off-spinners on a New Zealand green-top, or perhaps they had conceded a 230-run victory target to a pair of Bangladeshi or Zimbabwean openers. Then, we’d all be chuckling about the novelty of it all, about how the Indian cricket team had somehow contrived to pull off a unique loss, one unprecedented in its cricketing history.

But the problem is that even that minor comfort of disastrous novelty is not present in the current circumstances. For the Indian loss at SCG was made singlularly rank by the utter familiarity of it all: India are playing overseas; when their batsmen bat, the pitch turns green and hilly; when the opposition bats, a squad of alert groundsmen runs out, flattens the pitch and mows the grass; when India bat again, the gremlins take up their usual positions underneath the pitch. The batting line-ups crumble; the fielders (when they are not giving the crowd the bird), stare blankly into space; the chief traffic-policeman (sorry, fielding captain) is a flurry of brisk arm direction; and finally, at the end, there are the bromides of the post-match ceremonies. And the wait, equal parts horrified anticipation of the remaining games, and resigned acceptance of the inevitable home-series triumphs that will make the memories of the overseas disasters a little more palatable.

Plenty is going wrong right now, plenty to be picked through and dissected. Who could sift through the debris of this latest disaster adequately? Only those who have recovered from the grinding weariness of similar efforts conducted through the summer. A brave, if not very numerous, bunch.
