Review: Gran Turismo (PSP)

Oct 1st 2009 10:26AM (Joystiq)
While this may not be the most feature-filled GT, I don't think it should be compared so harshly with its console-based siblings (ie GT4). I'd imagine Polyphony chose not to go so in-depth with customisations, licences etc to increase the number of cars, circuits and of course polygons. Sure, it would have been nice to have a full-blooded Gran Turismo the size of a Maryland cookie, but if you're playing on the bus, how much are you going to miss the grind of getting that International A licence? This game has been designed as a stripped down version of Gran Turismo that has the much-needed pick-up-and-play feel of a handheld, whilst delivering the trademark GT experience when the player is behind the wheel. There are criticisms for its minor shortfalls and cut-outs, sure, but I for one am thrilled to be able to throw an M3 around Trial Mountain when sat in the dentist's office. It may not come close to GT4, but nothing on a portable platform will reach it for a long while.

PS: And yeah, the manual transmission controls are ridiculous.

The free version of the original TMN (not the Forever edition) had StarForce. Don't exactly know how you managed to avoid purchasing a free game, but I bet Nadeo are super-pissed that they didn't get that precious $0.

Uh, it's not going to be $168. It is over here in crazy land (home of the $8 gallon), but I'd imagine this will go for something like $129 in the states.

Guys, let's cool it with these graphics cards

What do consoles have to do with the BFG9000? My first experience with Doom was on 4 floppies. Basically, there's no excuse for not knowing the good ol' BFG.

Logitech's USB Unifying Receiver: one dongle to serve multiple input peripherals

Aug 4th 2009 6:20AM (Engadget)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the K350 just a Wave with white media keys and the new dongle?

Also, is this backwards compatible with all Logitech Wi-Fi devices?
