Skate (PS3)
Customer Review: This game rocks!
Have to agree with everyone here. This is EASILY the best skateboarding game out bar none.
The controls do take a bit of getting used to if you’re used to button bashing on the Tony Hawks series, but within an hour i was used to it and popping kickflip to 50-50 grinds down stair rails. It feels SO natural.
It does, however, have a few minor flaws.
The camera angle. Sometimes you cannot see where you’re going because the camera is so low, and so close to your skater. Theres no way to change this.
Lag/Gameplay slow down. Every now and again the game will get a little slow. No idea why but it usually sorts it’s self out after a few seconds.
Career mode. Career mode is a little difficult due to the flickit system, some tricks are hard to pull off, meaning you have to try the same challenge over and over and over. Feels good when you finally do nail it though.
Other then that, this is THE best skating game i’ve ever played. 5 out of 5 from me.
Buy it!
Customer Review: The best skateboarding game ever !
Button mashing is over. Skate has completely reinvented skateboarding games by the use of the flickit control system. On tony hawks you would think nothing of trying to leap a gap or grind a rail, but on skate you have to line yourself perfectly then flick the right analogue stick quickly to gain height to ollie and turn your body in the direction to grind down it. This makes the game feel more realistic and add new ways of doing tricks. Instead of going from place to place you have the whole huge city of san vanelona to explore with plenty of areas to skate on which adds to more freedom.
You have to start off by doing skateboarding films to get coverage in the local skate mag to get coverage. You then get asked to skate 4 thrasher which gives you money and sponsership to getting better skateboards, wheels and clothing and eventually leads you to face the pros in the x-games. There are a variety of objectives such as photo coverage, filming, skateboarding races and playing a game of skate which gets u to take it in turns against a pro to beat the at tricks.
This game is so much better than Tony hawks.

Customer Review: pathetic
I bought this game as I was looking for an fps for my psp and at first It seemed quite enjoyable, this is until you get further into the game and it become extremely dull and repetitive. Overall I would say it’s not worth buying, look elsewhere for a better game, don’t waste your money!
Customer Review: I thought that it would be good……but………….
……..I was delighted when I was given my PSP, but one of the first games that I bought was Coded Arms. It was the first, and so far the best FPS game that I have seen. when I first started the game up, it reminded me of HALO for the PSP. However, when I started it up. For the first 10 minutes it was quite interesting and fascinating. However, once I got to the end of the training levels, I found out how monotonous it was. The levels are short and repetitive. Every level seems to consist of 5 things. Start, battle, walk around, battle the level guard, then step in the level teleporter to go on to the next level. The levels all seem to be in dark unatractive rooms and corridors, and there are no open spaces or large rooms. Instead of picking up weapons or getting a weapons choice at the beginning, as you progress through the game, you unlock weapons making it extremely irritating at the beginning because the only weapon you can use is the pistol, which is quite useless. It takes ages to unlock cool and powerful weapons like the rocket launcher and the energy pulse. But the controls are actually quite good. not too sensitive and not too unresponsive. It is miles better than the hyper-sensitive controls of Star wars battlefont 2, where it isd virtually imporrible to aim at an enemy and fire accurately, not to say kill an enemy. I still prefer the halo-default controls, but there isnt any way to change the controls on Coded Arms. However Coded Arms is quite fun at times, which is why I gave it 2 stars and not 1. It also has a few interesting touches, such as: when you kill a creature or bot or bug, they dissolve into pixels, which is very appropriate because this entire game happens inside a virtual training program gone haywire (i.e. invaded by viruses and attack programs). I would say that Coded Arms is an ordinary FPS game. Not the most spectacular, fun, or interesting, but at least it is playable.

Customer Review: Hacking the PSP 2nd Edition
In this book there is some half descent stuff although there are also some very pointless hacks and there are sections on how to make car mounts which I didn’t really think should be in a hacking book. To get the most out of this book you really need a psp with firmware 2.6 or below and gta liberty city stories (the old unpatched version) and wipeout pure. I would strongly recoomend not to get this book unless you have this stuff. There is this section which tells you how you can play multiplayer games with one disk and when the game does not do game sahring. I promise you this is well easy. There is a really detailed section at the end about programming and homebrew and there is also some very complex information about the intert on the psp. This is what you are really paying your money for. Although quite a bit of this stuff you do need to download off the iinternet so before you buy this book make sure you can download.
