Punk Ball

Posted on 12.02.05 by ClackyJ @ 9:55 am

A few days ago, I had a chance to play Punk Shot, an arcade basketball game that puts Arch Rivals to shame. For starters, let’s read a description of the game:

Two-on-two basketball game for one to four people. Players can pass or shoot when they have the ball, or punch and kick when the opposition does.

That means that you either have the basketball, or you’re punching the hell out of the person that has the basketball. Just like real life!
As this is a four-player game, it quickly dissolves into a trash-talking, button-mashing fest, with fairly responsive controls and decent physics. What’s that mean?
That means it’s the best arcade basketball game that’s ever been created.

Not convinced? Read this:

There are two teams in the game: The Ramblers and The Slammers. Each team has two different characters: for The Ramblers, Basher and Stallion; and for The Slammers, Hair and Spike.

Yes. A player named Hair.

If you’re into the MAME thing, you owe it to yourself to give this game a try. Or find one of the three actual machines in existence. It’s up to you.

Japanese baseball!

Here’s a secret: I really want this game to come out. It’s a cartoony baseball game featuring the teams of the Japanese baseball league, including the Yomiuri Giants and the Orix Buffaloes among others.

Here’s another secret: I can’t read Japanese to know if and when this game is actually going to come out.

Here’s a final secret: If you’re really upset about the complete lack of excellent games for the PSP and DS, check out your local import sites for gaming. Go ahead, it’s OK. You say you want a PSP game that lets you control a subway car that rides the rails under Tokyo? It’s out there! You want to use your DS to help you pretend that you’re in a band? Do it! It’s out there! Buy a pachinko game! Buy 20 pachinko games! You can! Why not?

Boy, I want that game to come out…

Grand Theft Audio

Posted on 10.31.05 by ClackyJ @ 4:19 pm

GTA: PSP Today, I have found a reason to play the PSP again.
Rockstar has released a little “custom radio station” creator that allows you to take songs from cds you own and save them to your PSP Sony brand Memory Stick for use in the game. That’s right, when you get into your Patriot or Moonbeam, you can have the sweet, sweet sounds of Tone Loc comin’ at ya’. Or perhaps you’d like a litte Def Leppard? Go for it. Pour some sugar all over yourself, all to a soundtrack of your choosing.

One can only hope that this is the beginning of custom soundtracks on all PSP games.

Here’s the official Rockstar GTA: LCS website. The custom station creator is in the “downloads” section.

It goes without saying that I am most excited about the song by Rock as it’s supposed to be a cover of the classic Simon and Garfunkle song, only without articles.
“I am rock. I am island.”
