Unboxing Video of Limited Edition God of War Entertainment Pack from Kryptinite on Vimeo.

As many of you know, I’m a sucker for limited or special editions of pretty much anything, so it’s no surprise that I picked up the Limited Edition God of War Entertainment Pack this Tuesday. To think that I put off playing God of War: Chains of Olympus just in order to buy this package when it came out is beyond me.

I’m surprised how much the little changes Sony made to the PSP changed the way playing games on the system feel. I hated the “analog” nub on the original model and left my PSP collecting dust on my bookshelf. The nub on the new model feels 10 times better and I find myself using it as my default rather than switching the controls to the D-pad. They also made all of the buttons stand out a little more, so you can actually feel feedback when you press down on them.

Gone are the days of my hands cramping up after a 10 minute session with my PSP because the new slim design fits nicely in my gigantic hands. Also, the inclusion of an option to put your PSP on a TV is a nice addition. I think the biggest and best change for me is the fact that I can charge the damn thing through a USB cable now. I can finally retire the ridiculous cables that came with the system.

If you’re thinking about upgrading your current PSP, I’d say do it without any hesitations.

Grand Theft Auto 4: Jobs for Little Jacob from Kryptinite on Vimeo.

After 40 plus hours of game time and with 72% of the game completed, I finally beat my first Grand Theft Auto game ever! I’ve played every game in the series thus far and Grand Theft Auto 4 is the first game that actually kept my attention long enough to see it through until the end. Without doing a huge review on it, I’ll just say that I really enjoyed the story and how it kept me guessing throughout the game. I was somewhat emotionally invested in Niko and I just wanted to see the man catch a break.

Now that I’ve beaten the game, it’s time to make some videos! This video displays an easy way to do Jacob’s side missions. I fell in love with the public transportation in the game and used it every chance I got. I’ve logged probably 400 miles in a taxi alone!

I really should get back to Lost Odyssey before Ninja Gaiden II and Metal Gear Solid 4 come out but this is the life of a gamer. Sometimes we don’t finish all the games we start.
