Geek Grotto

We had a chance to play this at the GameStop Expo last month and it was pretty fun and different than most other games, which is something NIS America specializes in! God has never had it so rough! Meet Renya, who happened to become God through a lottery. And then, his self-proclaimed personal angel named Lilliel took him to Celestia right away. Together, they will tackle countless randomly-generated dungeons in this story-driven rogue-like RPG in order to guide the fate of all mankind to a revolution! Featuring the beautiful artwork of Noizi Ito — the illustrator behind The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Shakugan No Shana — this game is sure to bless you with a rapturous roguelike experience with HD sprites!

PlayStation Japan posted this video after its press conference. Besides Showing Axl and I-No for the first time, it also confirms a PS3 and PS4 version! We'll have to wait for TGS probably to see if the Xbox 360 and Xbox One get the same kind of love.

A video montage was shown including : Armored Core Verdict Day, Rain, GTAV, Tales of Symphonia, Beyond Two Souls, BlazBlue Chronophantasma, Book of Spells, Rocksmith 2014, Unknown strategy rpg, Monster Hunter, Lightning Returns, Super Robot Wars OG Infinite battle, The Walking Dead, Batman Arkham Origins, Drag on dragoon 3, Ace Combat Infinity, Sengoku Basara 4, J-Stars VS, Dark Souls 2. A Gran Turismo 6 overview was shown. New engine, new maps, and community features from PS3, Smartphones, tablets and more. Vision GanTurismo, new concept cars from auto makers and other companies like Nike is a 15 anniversary project. No idea if these videos for GT6 are real-time or pre-rendered, but they look freaking AMAZING! If they are real-time, then why bother with a PS4? J-Stars VS has me VERY interested. Ichigo from Bleach was shown onscreen with Goku from DBZ!!

Last week Sony released PS3 update 4.45 to the masses. Normally that's not a big deal, unless you were using a self upgraded large drive. Upon release, Sony's forums blew up with people trying to figure out what happened. Sony pulled the update within hours and promised a fix within a week. A week later, and an updated firmware, 4.46, is released with instructions on how to fix your busted PS3. Please note, this "SHOULD" work, but there is no guarantee and you may have to send in your PS3 if it still doesn't work. Read the how to after the break

Well, this info has been floating around game sites and Sony is probably in panic mode. With the lvl0 keys released, all PS3s on the market have just become fair game. What does this mean? We're talking PSP level hacking here. Custom firmwares, hacks, homebrew apps, and what Sony fears, piracy. Granted, Sony may be able to detect and block systems from PSN, but it may be impossible to block custom firmware. What do you guys think? Is this a win for the little guy or going a bit too far? I will admit thatI have a hacked PSP, but own every game that I have on it. I see the potential awesomeness, but the downside as well.

OK, you got me, it started shipping last week! No idea how I missed this, but now I'm going to have to go check it out! Do yourself a favor and check it out as well! Buy Mugen Souls at Amazon

Greetings Geeks! Bear with me on this one Geeks because I promise there is a point. So here's the scenario... You're out on the town with your buddy. For the sake of the narrative, let's call him "Ono". Ono says "Hey, dude. I've got this SUPER HOT chick that I'm dying to introduce you to." So you're like "Yeah? Sounds cool. Let's go!" Ono says "The club is all the way across town." So you start your journey and not 3 miles out, your car breaks down. So you try the subway, but the trains stopped running because it's so late. Ono insists that this chick is so HOT that it's worth it. So beaten but not defeated you try hitchhiking only to find out the dude that picked you up is some creeper who listens to John Tesh in the nude...while driving. So you walk it. It takes FOREVER to get there. But then, there it is! The club! The lights are beautiful and the music is jumping. You walk inside and Ono says...
