Friday, August 24th, 2007For the moment my dual-booting iMac is single booting into Windows XP for the foreseeable time : after playing the demo of BioShock, today (launchday of Bioshock in Europe) I went out to the local fnac and bought it.

So yes, I’ve got a Wii
Thursday, March 8th, 2007A friend of mine sent me this link to a google video. It’s a spoof on the mac adverts, this time between the PS3 and the Wii.
And now you know why I have a Wii.
PSP Firmware 3.02 cracked - PSX games possible without needing a PS3
Friday, December 29th, 2006I don’t know if the people at Sony were lazy or if the people behind the cracks are that good, but for at least a week now the psp firmware 3.0 (first 3.0, then 3.01 and now 3.02) has been cracked.

Killzone : Liberation
Sunday, December 3rd, 2006A new addition to my gaming collection… Killzone : Liberation

PSP Headset and SOCOM Fireteam Bravo
Wednesday, April 26th, 2006I’ve played a few rounds of online SOCOM:FTB and other than the mic not working, I was impressed by the speed of the connection and the smoothness of playing, and while the graphics were not spectulary like CounterStrike they were definitely good-looking and smooth enough. NO hiccups !In order for the mic to work, it [...]
PSP Firmware upgrade 2.70 is out
Tuesday, April 25th, 2006I am, as I am writing this, in the process of upgrading my PSP (version 2.0 firmware) to the very latest firmware 2.70. The only homebrew program that I used was a snes emulator, and only infrequently at that.
So, with the new possibility of downloadable demos, RSS channels, wma playback, downloadable videos, I am swayed [...]
Tales of Eternia update.
Monday, April 17th, 2006Whenever I have some spare time I have been playing Tales of Eternia on my PSP. A small review seems to have appeared in my head, structured as this :
