Ever since the early 90s, I’ve been hoping for a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup-esque combination of fighting and beat’em ups (”You got Streets of Rage in my Street Fighter!”). A number of games have tried this formula (including Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero and God Hand), but at E3, something caught my eye. We were showing [...]

Netflix Coming to PS3 Again?

2009-04-07T08:00:00.005-07:00

It seems that Netflix is running a survey again asking whether a Netflix streaming service for the PlayStation 3 is viable. The survey states that a $9.99 Netflix Instant Streaming Disc would be required to run the service on the PS3. We are guessing that it may be a Linux LiveCD disc with a Netflix program - wild guess here.

Here is the most current Netflix survey with the PS3 functionality:

Here is a survey from last year. Notice that the Netflix disc was only $3 and they had 5000 less movies for Instant Streaming.

Gomibako Trash Can Tetris

2009-03-24T13:14:00.003-07:00

Gomibako which is trash can in Japanese tests your Tetris skills as well as your recycling skills on the PlayStation 3.

You have to load up a trash can with thrown-away crap, one at a time. You're attempting to stack them up such that you don't leave any empty space, and can thus fit a lot more inside. But you can also smash items down into the can, breaking them or breaking the things they land on.

Every once in a while, you get a sword that is on fire, and this is how you clear out items from the can. Sticking the fire into a wooden or paper object will set it ablaze, and if you can line up a chain reaction, you can clear out a lot of the crap in your trash can and start again. Eventually, you have to start fitting in really huge items, and this is how you can lose the game -- if your can gets too full and three items fall out, you're done with the level.
