Video Games: The World of Gaming and Electronics: New PlayStation Portable Preview

Video Game Rubric

Here is the criteria on how games are scored:

10 = GAMERS SHOULD BUY THIS GAME! Games that receive this score are rare, unique, and tremendously special.

9 to 9.9 = A great game with minor flaws that gamers should buy.

8 to 8.9 = A good game that gamers should play if they are avid fans of the genre.

7 to 7.9 = An average game that gamers might want to rent but not buy.

6 to 6.9 = Games that score in this range are only for the really hardcore enthusiasts of the game franchise. These games have its faults.

5 to 5.9 = Games that score in this range have approximately the same number of pros and cons. There are typically more negatives than positives.

4 to 4.9 = Games that score in this range are abominations and will dissatisfy even the most devoted activists of the game series.

3 to 3.9 = Games that score in this range should be used as decoration ornaments. Stapling your mouth shut is more entertaining than playing this game.

2 to 2.9 = Games that score in this range should be avoided at all costs. A game with this score is about as rare as games that receive a perfect 10; however, these games have no chance in hell of being unique or tremendously special.

1 to 1.9 = Buying this game will result in an instantaneous and agonizing death.

New PlayStation Portable Preview

Sony has more than a PlayStation 3 on its sights. A newer model of the PlayStation Portable is on its way. As we all knew from E3 2007, this version of the PSP is 33 % lighter than the original PSP. Furthermore, there will be a video output for enabling your PSP to be viewed on a television. The PSP is expected to have an original USB port for charging, a smaller battery, and a reduced battery consumption. It will come in black, white, and ice silver. There will also be a PSP with Darth Vader’s face on the side. You can customize your PSP any way you want. If you want an ice silver PSP with a Darth Vader picture, you can do that (this is the PSP that I will be purchasing). There is still no sign of an analog stick with this edition of the PSP, so gamers will have to suffer the consequences of struggling with some games. The new PSP is slated to be released on September 10, 2007.
