I’ve trashed and re-written this review for Deadly Premonition: The Director’s Cut twice now, because it sucked (my writing, not the game). So instead of trying to be all hipster about dropping references to David Lynch and explaining the storyline, I’m just going to buck the standard reviewer trend and tell you exactly why you need to get up off your lazy ass and buy this game right the hell now.
Review – Deadly Premonition – The Director’s Cut (PS3)

Today in History: May 5th, 2000 – The Misadventures of Tron Bonne Lands on PSOne
Capcom, at the time of The Misadventures of Tron Bonne’s release, were not really known for going very far outside of the box of success (how many Street Fighter 2 variations did we get over the first 10 years after it’s release?). That is what makes this title so interesting, the gameplay and story being [...]
Today in History: April 30th, 1998 – Hot Shots Golf Changed Golf Gaming Forever on PSOne
Looking back and seeing how great game series started is easy, it was much harder back then to pick what games would become a series unto their own though. Take Hot Shots Golf by Sony for the Playstation One (we called it simply, Playstation back then). When this game was released, it was kind of [...]
Today in History: April 30th, 1999 – Bloody Roar 2 Tackles PSOne
Back during the 32-Bit days, fighting games were huge, bigger than they are today that is for sure. Gaming companies were all trying to get in on the fighting game craze that showed no signs of slowing down (it arguably started with Street Fighter II in the early 90′s). We saw Sonic (and eventually Mario [...]
Blast From the Past: Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare
Last year, I spent way too much money on video games, so this year, I’m looking for any reason not to buy new games. The best reason? Work on the backlog of games I’ve acquired over the years. Red Dead Redemption was one of my favorite games for the PS3. At the time of this [...]
Today in History: May 5th, 2000 – The Misadventures of Tron Bonne Lands on PSOne
May 4th, 2013 
triverse Capcom, at the time of The Misadventures of Tron Bonne’s release, were not really known for going very far outside of the box of success (how many Street Fighter 2 variations did we get over the first 10 years after it’s release?). That is what makes this title so interesting, the gameplay and story being great doesn’t hurt either though. Capcom went outside of their successful line of Mega Man games for Tron Bonne (which by now had also went against the 2D roots and done the whole “3D” thing that was big on PSOne).
Today in History: April 30th, 1998 – Hot Shots Golf Changed Golf Gaming Forever on PSOne
April 30th, 2013 triverse Looking back and seeing how great game series started is easy, it was much harder back then to pick what games would become a series unto their own though. Take Hot Shots Golf by Sony for the Playstation One (we called it simply, Playstation back then). When this game was released, it was kind of iffy in my circle of friends though once a few of us took the plunge and bought/rented it that was all she wrote before it became a little more than an obsession of sorts.
Today in History: April 30th, 1999 – Bloody Roar 2 Tackles PSOne
April 29th, 2013 triverse Back during the 32-Bit days, fighting games were huge, bigger than they are today that is for sure. Gaming companies were all trying to get in on the fighting game craze that showed no signs of slowing down (it arguably started with Street Fighter II in the early 90′s). We saw Sonic (and eventually Mario and company), comic book characters and even cars get involved (can anyone name the game that featured a car as a combatant?).
Blast From the Past: Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare
April 27th, 2013 Nickerous Last year, I spent way too much money on video games, so this year, I’m looking for any reason not to buy new games. The best reason? Work on the backlog of games I’ve acquired over the years. Red Dead Redemption was one of my favorite games for the PS3. At the time of this writing, it is one of only 3 games that I have completed on PS3. During my first play through, the DLC Undead Nightmare hit the console. I didn’t want to play it until I finished the main game, so I waited to buy it. After a while, Rockstar decided to release Undead as a retail release. For me, if there’s an option to buy a physical copy of a game instead of downloading it, I’ll go for the real thing. As these things seem to do, though, I never did play Undead Nightmare. Now it is time to remedy that. How does this DLC adventure fare in regards to the real Red Dead? Let’s find out.

Today in Retro Gaming – Williams Arcade’s Greatest Hits (PS1)
April 14th, 2013 Modern Zorker (Editor’s Note: This should have been released on the 10th of April, but a mix-up resulted in that not happening. We apologize for being late.)

Today In Retro Gaming – Hooters Road Trip (PS1)
March 26th, 2013 Modern Zorker Today in retro gaming, we’re…wait, WHAT?! You’ve got to be kidding me. I am not writing about this–even I have standards. My editor has gone off the rails on a crazy train. Triverse, I’m not writing about this game, and there’s nothing you–what do you mean, “hostage situation”? You’re joking! You’re not joking… Ooooookaaaaaaay, right. Uh, today in retro gaming, Ubisoft released “Hooters Road Trip”. It’s exactly what it sounds like.
Today in Retro Gaming: Raven Project (PS1)
March 25th, 2013 Modern Zorker Today in Retro Gaming, we…erm…well, let’s just say we mark the day The Raven Project was released on an unsuspecting UK populace. March 25, 1997 probably isn’t a day worth marking a calendar over, but we’re doing it here at Gaming on Sony so you never, ever make the mistake of picking up this turd. Not that the ad we’re featuring would have inspired you anyway.
