Something this awesome should come with a warning. Here is one I have devised for all of you:
Warning: This post contains pictures of a ridiculously awesome Shadow of the Colossus cosplay–a feat which, up until now, your neighborhood Gameologist thought impossible. This, in a phrase, changes everything. Those with weak hearts should not gaze upon [...]
Time for a little word association: I’ll type a word, then you say (out loud–even at work) whatever comes to your mind. Ready:
God of War III.
If you just blurted out ‘District 9!’ then congratulations–your thought process obviously mirrors the inscrutable mental stirrings of the Sony promotions team:
If you’re interested in checking out God of War [...]
Sony’s PlayStation 2 turned nine years old on October 26th, and while I didn’t have the funds to throw a big office party, I thought I’d post here to relate some of my favorite PS2 memories and encourage you to post your own:
Kingdom Hearts: I still remember the commercials for this game, each featuring one [...]
Nintendo and Microsoft have picked pretty catchy, marketable names for their motion-sensitive controllers. ‘Wiimote’ is silly but memorable enough to stick in people’s minds; ‘Project Natal’ is so weird that you just have to Google it. But Sony hasn’t yet decided on a great name for its own wand controller:
A lot of news came out [...]
The Tokyo Game Show is on everybody’s mind right now. It’s one of the biggest expos of the year, and it’s a chance for the world to look at a massive cultural center for gaming. Still, there’s a lot more going on than just demos, interviews and panels. TGS is a battleground for the two [...]
More than any other genre, the RPG has always revered its elders. The graybeards who created the swords-and-sorcery, number-crunching world of the modern RPG, and the ancients who enjoyed these first forays into the realm, are held in high esteem by newer converts. I’m more than a mere acolyte, but even I must submit to [...]
Video game advertising has always interested me. Sometimes, a good ad is all it takes to get me out of my gaming comfort zone and looking into a title I would have otherwise ignored. Such is the story with Kingdom Hearts, for example. In other circumstances, I’d have easily dismissed it as a kiddie game [...]
I’m not sure I entirely understand Fat Princess as an experience, but I think that’s mostly the point. I do recognize, however, that it has one of the greatest titles in the history of video gaming. Fans of the hectic strategy gameplay will now have a new stomping ground to conquer: the ‘New Pork’ level, [...]
As an alternate-reality game player, I’m all for creative, mysterious advertising. I remember when the TV show Chuck was first coming out, I spent an afternoon trying to decode the rapid-fire subliminal messages used in the initial ads. Looks like I’ve got something new to decode. Sony has put up a web site for a [...]
I’m going to tell you a secret, Ology reader: I think you’re pretty great. Maybe even hardcore. That’s why I’m tossing this juicy bit of news your way. Sony has announced an open casting call for its upcoming PlayStation Network reality series, ‘The Tester.’
What’s it all about? I’ll let Sony’s official statement explain:
This original program [...]
