Preview Friday: Playstation Network



Today is preview Friday and I am previewing something a little different. It’s the hacking problem Sony is having with the PS3 and is suppose to be fixed by next week so I am previewing it. It has been going on for about a week now. Someone hacked into Playstation Network. Sony is having trouble fixing it apparently but if have a ps3 account it would be a good idea to change your password and anything else and keep track of your credit card record if you purchased anything with it and its saved on your playstation network account. April the 23rd the network just went offline and everyone was wondering what’s going. Sony said it was just for maintenance but learned later that the network was hacked by someone. Hopefully by next week everything will be better and people can start playing online games again on their PS3s

Sims3 Review


 Today I am reviewing the Sims 3. Sims 3 is released on ps3, xbox 360, and the PC. Sims 3 is a big step up from Sims 2 even though the Sims 2 had 5000 expansions it seemed like . Which really could have made the Sims 2 better than Sims 3 just because of all the expansions adding a whole bunch of stuff. The Sims 3 though added a lot of new stuff and a new fearture that allowed you to walk around your whole neighborhood and could visit neighbors and there weren’t as many loading screens as in the Sims 2.

The graphics were improved a lot, shadows and other lighting things were increased to make it look a little better.  The Sims 3 was almost like a cut down version of Sims 2 with better graphics and no cutting into you playing with lots of loading screens whenever you went to do something. The editor were you edit your sim there was more clothing, hair dews, and everything else you can do. I give the sims a 3 out of 5 it is good but not enough content to match with Sims 2. Also on the other side there is stuff that is good but it gets a 3 out of 5

Old Timer Tuesday : Pac-Man

 Today is Old Timer Tuesday. I am going to talk about a famous old game that about everyone has probably played at one time. It is Pac-Man, everybody is probably familiar with Pac-Man. It is one of the most famous arcade games ever created. Pac-Man was not released in the United States it was first released in Japan. It was released in May 22, 1980.

Later in the same year was released in the United States. It was first released only on arcade machines mainly but later became developed for other game consoles. The whole point of Pace-Man is to go through the map of lines and eat the seeds and then you can get a seed that changes the ghosts that chase you into ghosts that you can eat. The highest someone ever got to was level 256. After you get there it is impossible to beat because of a split screen bug in the software. Now in the modern day there has been many different new type of updated Pac-Man. I bet most people you ask they’ll probably all like the original one the best
