PSP to finally get Gran Turismo

I have been waiting for this game to come out on the PSP since the PSP first came out. It was one of the reasons that I wanted a PSP. I like many fathers in this world don't always have exclusive access to the household TV. Most of the time there is Wall-E or Monsters Inc. playing on the television that is hooked up to the game systems. So the answer has always been for me to play some of my games on a portable unit. The PSP is the best portable unit for people that love games. The DS is much better for the casual gamer, GTA China Town Wars excluded, but the PSP always had the feel of being a full size system in your hands. To be able to have Gran Turismo finally come to the PSP is one of the best announcements at the 2009 E3 show in my opinion.

Not much is known about the game. It looks like there will be a good selection of cars 35 different tracks and probably many other features that we have come to love about Gran Turismo. It comes out in October, so I am guessing that there will be much more quality information coming out in the up coming months. I will be pre-ordering this game as soon as Amazon puts it up for sale. Amazon has made a link available to sign up for when the game will be available for pre-order. You can get to it by clicking below.

Sony Go Just Doesn’t Make Sense

I have been reading some online articles on the Sony Go. It is a cool looking device that is similar in style to the old N-Gauge system a few years back. For years I have loved my Sony PSP because it allowed be to play full console style games anywhere I want. There have been times where I have watched 3-4 movies a week on it as well. What bothers me about the new Sony Go is that it seems to take a step backward. The design is cool, but the lack of dual analog controls is a little strange. If I didn't know better I would say that Sony was trying to compete with a cell phone rather than just making a super cool portable game unit. The beauty of the old PSP was never in its size, but in its ability to play real games, not those tiny little apps that you can get for $4.99 on Xbox live. This newly designed PSP Go looks like a cell phone without a touch screen.

I like the fact that they went to the digital download system. I think that this is the way of the future. I am thinking however that the hardware needed to be upgraded to where bigger and faster games can be played on the unit. This system seems to be just a revamped PSP with a smaller screen and slightly different controls. I think that despite my love for the PSP, this will be an upgraded version that I will skip out on buying. I will wait until it comes out to make my final judgment, but this new PSP really leaves lots to be desired and has me thinking about getting a DS sometime in the near future.
