If you are thinking of buying this game from the PSN store, be warned: the game is extremelly short and after a couple matches you’ll easily beat it in ~20 minutes. That’s what your $10 are worth: 20 minutes game.

There was a patch for Soul Calibur 4 today for PS3. I was hoping they’d fix the online woes, but everything’s the same.

Excited about Soul Calibut 4 to play online? Well, don’t be, it totally sucks.

Trying to find someone to play with doesn’t work like 95% of the times. Even if you find rooms with slots and people waiting, it doesn’t work. You get errors like “the game session is full”, “connection timed out” (after 2 seconds!), “connection lost with the host” (when you finally find someone and try to start a match), some random network errors, and when you make your own session waiting for other players, you will often get this error “An error has occurred. You have been signed out of PLAYSTATION NETWORK.”. At this point, you can’t log back in to PSN, the only fix is turning off/back on your PS3.

And after struggling for a while, when you finally get into a match, you gotta play the time machine game, as in, do your moves 1-2 seconds in advance, since even with a decent connection and green bars the game lags like shit.

Shame on Namco and Sony. I bought this game exclusively to play Online (story mode is a fucking joke and normal vs is way better in soul calibur 3)

Very cool game with some Anime magical characters, including Nanoha and Fate.

You can download a demo from their website: http://fly-system.net/product/mba/index.htm

Obesity experts today slammed Nintendo after its Wii Fit game told a 10-year-old girl she was fat.

They fear the game could damage children’s body image and called on the company to warn parents it is not suitable for their offspring.

The £69 game, which sold out within hours when it went on sale in Britain last month, uses an electronic “balance board” to monitor a player’s weight.

Once the player has entered their height, the game uses BMI, a measure of body fat based on an adult’s height and weight, to calculate their level of obesity, placing them in categories such as “underweight” and “fat”.

Players can then be guided through yoga exercises or play games to improve their balance.

However, a father from the South-East spoke today of the embarrassment when his stepdaughter played the game and was labelled fat.

“She is a perfectly healthy, 4ft 9in tall 10-year-old who swims, dances and weighs only six stone,” said the father, who did not want to be named for fear of embarrassing the girl further.

“She is solidly built but not fat. She was devastated to be called fat and we had to work hard to convince her she isn’t.
