Professional Bull Riders PBR: Out Of The Chute PSP

Image
Professional Bull Riders: Out Of The Chute. You can play as a cowboy rider or a bull, lol. It is funny how that sounds, but if you choose to be the bull, your objective is to knock the rider out of mount as fast as possible. hehe! Each character (man or bull) have their own properties such as balance, coordination, stamina, strength, etc. There are many events in where you can compete; Some are: Quick Ride (kinda like exhibition match). There is a tutorial built inside the game so you won't bother reading the manual that comes with the UMD. There are two choices if you pick Single Player mode: Unlimited Ride and Season Mode. And those are basically the most important game play modes. Of course to keep things interesting there are also unlockables. Now get yourself ready to learn how to play the game. Well, so far it has not been too hard for me. I could last sometimes more than 8 seconds riding a bull or maybe because I am too early in the game and I haven't ridden any...

Dungeon Maker 2: The Hidden War PSP Review

Image
Dungeon Maker II: The Hidden War is an adventure, role playing game. Definitely not the best I have ever played, but entertaining nonetheless. The main character is an architect (you will be able to make up his name and, with those eye glasses he kinda reminds me of that guy in harry potter, lol), but he does not specialize in building houses, only dungeons. He (You) builds them, and then fight the monsters who have gone inside. There is a lot of talk at the beginning of the game, an old man will talk to you and give you a little info on the general idea of the game. He aslo talks about the town you will be staying in and the different places you can go explore withing the town. Then you will meet a 15 year old girl, who is a hunter, but really low leveled. She asks you to make her her apprentice in dungeon making. and so far I am off to building the first dungeon and trying to kill the first boss beast. So that is what the video below shows.

Mana Khemia Portable PSP

Image
Mana Khemia by NIS. Always in the search for good, new, exiting RPGs, with great character development. It is said that this title is sequel of previous Atelier Iris game. I must say that this is new to me because I never heard of it and, so never had a chance to play it. Looking up at the video trailer, it got my interest. although I can't say much about it, till i actually get my hands on it. It seems that there will be written and vocal dialogs, which is something that I think it is neat on new top notch games. This game is developed by Gust, and schedule to be released in the U.S. on January 2009.

Samurai Showdown Anthology For PSP Review

Image
Samurai Showdown Anthology For PSP. Great set of all Samurai Showdown games 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, if you are a fan like I am. I however, do not claim to be the biggest fan, because all I really enjoy playing is Samurai Showdown (the first one). Just brings back some memories of the past as I was there getting my hands on this game when it was barely released some years ago. and some of the number two also, and this is only because I like playing as Kibagami Genjuro, Hahaha. As opposed to the Neo Geo Emulation this kinda falls a little in my opinion. Of course with the UMD version there are more options to the game. I did notice some sound problems, but I guess that is the only thing that bothers me about it so far. Fighting scenes are the same, you can change the screen width 3:4 or full screen (my favorite as the video shows) and others. Watch my video below so you will see my skills (as tachibana ukyo) handling my sword against earthquake. multitasking on taking a video and pl...

iSound Pro 2 For PSP

Image
Was just the other day watching some videos while riding in the car. I wanted to share some of the funny toons I download to my PSP to my friends. The problem with some video is that the volume sound is set to very low, so even if you do raise the volume all the way up on the PSP, it is not going to be much difference, and produce low sound. I just had to look something up on the internet to help me find something that would make the sound of the PSP louder and clearer. Well, the PSP i.Sound Pro 2 came up to one of my searches results. While I still have yet to give in and buy one, I hear its fold able so makes it easier to carry around. It is also said to have surround sound effects, and that it can charge the PSP while on the dock. The only bad thing about it is that some say that its really a pain to keep plugging and unplugging the ugly adapter. This discarded the idea for me to carry it around in the car, unless it comes with car charger too. I guess I will just stick to my...

Everyday Shooter PSP Gameplay

Image
Everyday Shooter for the PSP is quite the small file game, but packs much great fun entertainment. I like how it is very simple using the controls, similar to Stardust Portable, but with much simpler graphics. however, I do think that this game has more extra content and mode play than Stardust Portable. Unlocking new features are done by accumulating points, then buy the unlock features using the amount of points required. Here on the video is me playing it for the first time. What do you think?
