Downloading Final Fantasy 7 to my PSP

Well, what can I say.

I have a cousin that told me that I could finally download Resident Evil from the play station store to PSP. Of course I was like Get the $%^&! out of here! I immediately headed there this morning. I see a wonderful little software tool called Media Go. I have to have it. I download it and then commence to hook up my PSP. Of course I need an update to connect it properly, and my PSP is for lack of a better term..... DEAD!

No doubt from falling asleep while searching the Desert for a big Crab like creature with an intersting name Monster Hunter the new one which I so hastly grabed two copies one for me, and one for the Mrs. No doubt in our ripe young 30's we find time to romance, raise kids, party, outside and in and play games...Life is great! After a long day of BBQ Fireworks done for the city which could be seen from my corner or corner window perfectly complete with window rattling and gusts of wind from the Beautiful salute to our brothers and sisters continuing the fight for freedom and liberty.....you get the point I was tired and in bed playing MH...so, back to recharging Lt. Buck-E.

So, I started to charge the error recieving unit and began to search old psone titles through the Playstation network on my PC using Media Go. Low and behold there she was. The title for which I still have the original disk and finished and finished and loved and cherished...You know come to think of it, I actually lost a woman over this game..No kidding..:(..anyways the game was better:) INFINATELY BETTER!

Which brings me to my point. Even though I was well.. grown when this game came out, It marked a new time for me (my daughter was being conceived and born etc, etc) I could acheive whatever I was putting my mind to.. And this wonderful adventure came along. I can not tell you how many ways I have this game. An sitting here when I began this blog, with percentage bar at 24, I know I will be able to play my game soon because I just had to click download complete for 99% read the bar when I started this very long run on sentence.

No other game has the depth of this all other FF games and clones fall short of this one right here and finally, finally.....I can go out into the life of Cloud again, all that materia, and those beautiful summonings right on my psp..enuff said gotta go play...

VISIT THE PLAYSTATION STORE! you might float down memory lane and write a lame blog!

Gaming

Gaming has taken very many twist and turns since I was a kid. From playing the Magnavox game system to the Intellivison and Atari. When all we wanted was color and control. Now look at games today.

What do games of today provide? Is it gameplay? or is it Graphics? Every year a slew of FPS come out for all the game systems each boasting to be more clear and crisp than any before it. Isnt it still the same old FPS. Take a game like Black.

Black an FPS is like walking through a movie shouting war songs and slogans while killing EVERYTHING. The plot is weak, the story non existent..is it fun? Of course why? Gameplay. It focuses on how you manipulate your surrounding against overwhelming odds.. The true core of the game play does not come out until Black Op mode is unlocked where all objectives have to be completed and VERY few health pack around. Gameplay

Games like Castlevania DS are not highly rated for graphics but for game play.

Civilization, its the game that makes you want to play not the grpaphics of these microscopic cities.

So, why then would someone want to pay 1900$ for a PS3?

Graphics! Is the game mechanics going to change that much from PS2? I doubt it..Does a PC have better graphics, certainly. Of course harder games are found on the PC with plot and depth, we are speaking only on consoles.

PS3 I am afraid will only have its graphics to sell the console, much like Xbox 360. Is it revolutionizing the game play. No, its revolutionizing the graphics, that is all..With a hefty price tag I might add.

Now we come to whY I wrote this blog. The Wii. By far this console is going to be about GAMEPLAY. Even the controller has revolutionized how we will play its games. Nintendo has always been the best pick for sheer gameplay. Granted not the Best graphics unless you count the GC which was much more crisp then both the Xbox and the PS2. Will the Wii be the same, for much less? Including its reknowned game play coming from Nintendo.God I hope so. As a mature gamer, I look for games that are both challeging and engaging. When you have played Atari Basketball growing up. Anything 3D is eye candy. Being that I am a gamer of old and play handhelds, consoles and PC games..I figure I would give a shot out for game play. not graphics, for the system with the greatest GAMEPLAY games, will no doubt get my money for 2007.

Peace
