Go!View good for you?

August 5 Posted by unerd (PSP blog)
With my current Sky package topping the scales at £45 a month, is there any benefit in switching to this service?

I've read a fair bit around Go!View but still have a few things I just don't know the answer too. First off, it's clear I don't need my current sky package and this PSP package, financially it just doesnt make sense. As i mentioned my Sky package is cost heavy, but mainly because I took it out before sky+ was free, so having movies and sport wasnt too much of a further spend.

With this Sky+ charge now in the past I'm thinking of dumping the lot, getting free view and using the Sky+ as my recorder, seems to make sense?!

I'm a big sports fan, don't get me wrong, but in reality im paying £45 to watch the odd game, and this has got me thinking that switching to Go!View could be beneficial

Before I take this leap of faith there are two things i need to know. First off, If I hook my PSP lite up to a TV to output on the screen, will downloads from Go!View play? Secondly, what is the quality of outputting to a TV?

Answers on a postcard please... or at least in the comments section!

PSP nOOb?!

July 14 Posted by unerd (PSP blog)
Although I've had my PSP nearly a year, I havnt exactly max'd its potential. Sure it's rocked out with a bit of Remote play, but as an individual system I've unintentionally shunned it.

The games I've tended to play have been PS1 games via remote play, or online titles so I can get whooped by anyone, anywhere. BUT, this weekend something changed, I decided to leave my uneducated PSPness in the past and find out just what I've been missing!

I purchased a PSP mag helpfully entitled a 'guidebook' to save me guessing at what my little box can do and proceeded to get with it and I can now say that there is a lot of my PSP radar.

Go!View and possibly Go!Cam might be on the order list, as are several games, most notably Lego Indy and Pro Evo 2008. However, the ordering of Pro Evo really depends on whether it has infrastructure mode or not?! The 'demo box' in GAME helpfully shows it does but nowhere else seems to support this possibility, GARGH!

Whilst I think about what to expand my PSP library with I have been battling away with Silent Hill Origins, and I'm glad to say it's awesome, but only been a couple of sessions of play in, i'll refrain from reportinh just yet!

So for now it's unerd. out

Welcome to my Lair

May 30 Posted by unerd (PSP blog)
How ashamed am I to say I know very little about 'LAIR'? Well, actually I'm not. A game featuring flying dragons (are there any other type? If there are, I don't want to know!) normally doesnt tickle my PS3 pickle. However, loving my PS3 and gernerally digging anything PS3 I was drawn like a proverbial moth to the flame to 'LAIR', THE game playable on your PSP from your PS3 via the beauty of remote play.

The thought of it finally got too much as I've plumped for a copy of the game. Like a seedy teenage boy I'll be playing into the small hours under the bed covers, just because I can, HA!

The concept of playing PS3 games on a PSP is a great one, I'm just hoping the controls are responsive enough to make this decent. Secondly I'm hoping that more developers take up this option. The requirement for sleep cuts into my game playing way to often to mention and if this is viable then I need it!

I'll get up to date with some reviewing soon, and this will be in there!
