GR’s weekend giveaway: Ten copies of The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky for PSP
This would be a really cool PSP game to tide me over until the monkeys at Time Warner Cable fix my internet connection.

Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 (PS3): Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 review
@Crimmy I am most certainly not a troll. You'll see I've made very few comments at GR overall. As for your comment, it's almost incomprehensible and seems borderline delusional. "Capcom hardly ever makes mistakes and listens to what the fans want." - Are you on their payroll or something? Check out this link, d-bag: Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 requires PSN connection (not for co-op, for DRM!) http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/02/bionic-commando-rearmed-2-DRM/

Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 is a definite no-buy due to the unfair DRM. Thanks Capcom! Oh, and by the way, Capcom, you may all feel free to go ahead and f*** yourselves!

Why the latest PS3 crack is disastrous for Sony and for gamers
One way to combat people resorting to custom firmware is to release new firmware updates with amazing new features that only the console maker can provide. Problem is, those seem to have stopped or slowed to a trickle on PS3. The last update was a security patch with no new features for the end user. Before that we got VUDU - something no one asked for and no one uses. How nice. So they are willing to update the firmware to bring in more revenue and stop piracy, but not to add new features that are of use to their loyal customers. Meaningful updates have stopped completely for the PSP, apparently nothing new until the PSP2. Why can't I organize my huge list of PS3 demos and purchased downloadable games by letter? Right now, I think that PAIN is somewhere in the bottom fourth of the list - Insanity after four years of owning the system. How about bringing PS2 emulation back? Adding cross-game chat? Auto-syncing of trophies? Support for MKV files? Can we have more than 3 awful music visualizers? Eric Lempel and his team (seriously, what are they doing these days?) don't think it's important. Apparently, it's the same way they feel about the top ideas on Playstation.Blog Share. Out of over 5000 entries, only 54 submitted ideas have ever been put into action since June 2007. The value and worth of those ideas implemented are of questionable quality. The most popular ones at the top of the list, the things that all PS3 users desire, have not even been acknowledged by Sony as ever coming. When custom firmware does so much more than the official firmware, leaving users wanting features they have no other way to obtain, people will strike out on their own to add new features. I am a long-time Sony fan who bought a PSP and PS3 on day one, but I feel incredibly burned by the last few years of Sony removing features. I actually long for the days of the leader that some called Krazy Ken. I have him to thank for my PS3 that plays up-converts PS2 games (with digital PS2 memory cards, wireless controllers, built-in multi-tap, etc.), Compact Flash, SD, Memory Sticks, four USB ports - these are things I use almost daily. Sony has burned so much goodwill that I think it's time for another change in management, Kaz and Sir Howard.

The saddest game cancellations of this generation
I am still longing for Dead Rush (GTA clone with zombies) canceled from last gen and and This is Vegas (GTA clone with gambling) canceled from this gen. Sigh...

Planet 51 (PS3): Planet 51
I picked this up on one of Target's mega-clearance racks. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised (Coming from a 30 yr old). Sure, it's just a kid's movie tie-in throw away game, but parts of it were downright fun and challenging. I especially liked all the driving segments because your hover car can strafe and jump which makes navigation different from any other open world game I've played. Looking at other online reviews besides this one, they're basically all the same, and I don't think they played through the whole game. Despite the usually poor quality, movie-based games are real games too.

Horror movies that would make great games
Anyone remember the Red Rum "Shining" mod for Duke Nukem 3D? At the time, it was one of the coolest mods around. Free roam through the Overlook hotel, the whole hedge maze, sound effects from the movie, the twins, old lady in the room, creepy things popping out all over... Anyone know an easy way to get that one to play again today?

Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust (Xbox 360): Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust
Am I the only one that had a blast with the PS2 copy of Magna Cum Laude I found in a bargain bin a few years ago? It was relentlessly hammered by critics as well but turned out to be mindless fun (for those not paid to turn their nose up at these kinds of games). Looking forward to finding Box Office Bust in a bargain bin someday too.

Hotel for Dogs (Wii): Hotel for Dogs
Reviews like these should be labeled "5 Minute Reviews," which is obviously how long the writer played this game and also how long it took to type up these few sentences that are passed off as a "Review." Too bad the reviews can't be more like the GR Features. They're some of the best around.
