A PSN double take

Sony gave PS3 users a big choice to make this week with Wakeboarding HD and Anarchy: Rush Hour both hitting the console’s Playstation Network. Creat Studios Wakeboarding HD clocks in at $14.99 and is a relatively small download (just over 100 MB) while Gaijin’s Anarchy: Rush Hour costs $7.99 and is a heftier file (>800 MB). [ READ MORE ]

Wakeboarding coming to PS3

Well, now this is a nice surprise. Wakeboarding HD – from TikGames/Creat Studios – hits the PSN on March 25 for $14.99 and it looks to be well worth the price.

VidHit: Tony Hawk: RIDE

I think we all know how much skepticism surrounds the latest release in the Tony Hawk skateboarding franchise, you know, the one with the $120 price tag… Tony Hawk: RIDE puts players on the board, literally, as the pricey package includes a full motion sensing skateboard (sans wheels) controller.

Taking on the World (Stage)

Ubisoft’s Shaun White Snowboarding World Stage (we’ll just use World Stage from here on out) hit stores last Sunday, and while exclusively limiting itself to the Nintendo Wii isn’t exactly taking on the video game world, White’s latest snowboarding game may actually be the most impressive of the series. First, in the grand design of most [ READ MORE ]

Week in Preview: Nov. 10-16

Another week, another new batch of games to review – and a holiday to delay the shipments (and hopefully allow me to catch up on last week’s crop of games). First things first, the catch up process. Watch for a couple TSG-Casts – one for PES 2010 (which may or may not include Wii and PS2 [ READ MORE ]

VidHit: Shaun White World Stage (Wii)

Just in case you missed it, there was actually a new Sunday release. Yes, Ubisoft’s Shaun White World Stage hit the Nintendo Wii aisle yesterday. I barely got a chance to play it – but did squeeze just enough time to get a hang of most of the controls and record this video for you [ READ MORE ]
