Video Game Classics in the Closet

It is amazing the things you find when you start re-organizing where everything is. I was going to move a few things out of my office space here and into the closet and I found a treasure of classic video game systems.

Nintendo DS vs Sony PSP?

I finally got my new toy in the mail yesterday. What is that toy? A Nintendo DS Lite! Now that I own a Nintendo DS Lite and a PlayStation Portable I think I am pretty ready to do a side by side comparison.

Good Things About Nintendo DS Lite

1. Original and Different Way of Playing Games.
2. Bright Screen – I Would Say Even Brighter Than the PSP.
3. All Your Favorite Old School Titles Will Be or Are There.

Good Things About the PlayStation Portable

1. It Can Act as a Portable Media Machine as Well with Photos, Music and Videos.
2. More Functionality With Homebrew and Custom Firmwares.
3. A Different Game Libary – Good Games There Too.

Which is better? As you can see both have their good points, so I would have to say it has to do with what you want from your portable gaming experience. If you want fun and different I would pick a Nintendo DS Lite. If you want a media manager and good looking games – go with the PlayStation Portable.

Mega Man Addict

megaman.jpgThe entire Mega Man series is one that I grew up playing religiously. I am not sure if I can put my finger on exactly what in it is so addicting to me though. Maybe it is all the pits with spikes? Maybe it is that face to face with one of the bosses? Whatever it is, I recently got hooked again.

The other day I picked up Mega Man Powered Up for my PlayStation Portable. Now the “cuteness” of the game might make more than a few folks avoid it. If you can get beyond that though – there is a lot of fun to be had. Out of all the PSP games I have played thus far, Mega Man Powered Up is the best.

The best part about the game is the construction mode. Even when I have beat the game, there is still more fun to be had. I can create my own stages with the easy to use editor inside of the game. I really wish more games came with this feature.

Now I know I don’t give my thoughts on video games that much here. For what it is worth though, I suggest everybody who has a PSP to drop $20 and pick up this game.
