  • Playstation Turns 20. Feel Old Accordingly

    Playstation is celebrating their 20th anniversary today. The original Playstation went on sale in Japan on December 3, 1994. I would say it was somewhat a success, selling over 120 million consoles and taking the crown from “untouchable” Nintendo (which pains me to say as a Nintendo fanboy). The system would go on sale in America on September 9, 1995.

    I remember playing the demo for Wipeout at Toys R Us and thinking “this is the f***ing future”. Then I played the demo for Battle Arena Toshinden and said “this isn’t fun, I’ll play Wipeout again”.

    While I may hold on to the fact that Nintendo 64 was my console of choice, I always have memorable moments with my PS1. Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VII, Gran Turismo. Hours of gaming that will never be forgotten.

    Happy Birthday, Playstation.

    This week’s title should really be “Hey! Wait Till Next Week!”. There are some releases this week including the next entry in the huge gaping hole in parental wallets known as Skylanders and a new Cabela Hunting game which is actually not releasing on the same day as a Halo game. If you don’t know what I mean, keep scrolling.
