Games! Games! Games!

Alot of people have been emailing me saying "This is soooo fake....". Well, I am here to tell you that these photos are unedited except in picture number 2, I had to edit something out as you can see clearly. The actual PSP part is unedited and these are not photoshopped.

“Things aren’t good in PSP-land says an article titled “R.I.P. PSP” over at the Gameworld Network. The five-page piece takes a fairly balanced and detailed look at why it’s game over for the PlayStation Portable. Here are the main points:

Yesterday, I went into the local Best Buy and saw the new HD-DVD and Blu-ray players on display. On the HD-DVD side, I saw the Toshiba HD-A1. On the Blu-ray side, I saw the Samsung P1000. These both produce phenomenal results!

I love video games - they are a part of me. After all, I am a member of the gamerx generation. I remember spying my piano teacher’s son playing a spy strategy game on his Coleco Vision in the 80’s. Now my sights are set on the Sony PS3 at the same time I explore the wonderful world of PC online gaming. But am I wasting my time? Having the goal of making a difference in this world, am I using my time poorly? What implications do the answers to these questions have on my soon-to-arrive daughter?

Nintendo of France’s Mathieu Minel spoke to ITRGames recently in an exclusive interview and he spoke about the following regarding the Wii (translated from French):

Originally created on the SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive, Sonic the Hedgehog forged a new path in videogames.
