Bit.Trip Beat

Downloaded this the other day after looking around the Aksys website for some info on BlazBlue.
It is basically a kind of single player pong mixed with Rez. You control a bat on the left side of the screen (Wiimote tilted sideways and rotated to move the bat up and down) and balls come flying from the right and you have to reflect them back. Starts very simple but quickly gets quite crazy. The presentation is a retro blocky style that works well with the concept. Add to that an interesting scoring system and a Rez like gameplay (the blocks you bounce back fit the beat of the music, and hitting special blocks adds tracks to the music and alters the background graphics) and you have Bit.Trip Beat.

Only downside is that the graphics can get a little too busy at times, but quite fun for 600 points.

Hulu Blocks PS3 Access

Hulu to PlayStation 3 browsers: "This video is not available on your platform"
by Richard Lawler, posted Jun 27th 2009 at 6:59AM



The PlayStation 3 has kept access to Hulu even without PlayOn or other workaround while others were blocked -- with the exception of its own remote friendly desktop software -- thanks to its browser's Flash support, but this morning multiple users have reported the above message indicating "Unfortunately, this video is not available on your platform. We apologize for any inconvenience." Some odd glitch related to the recent 2.80 firmware update or other temporary problem, or is this the latest platform to get the Boxee treatment when trying to bring streaming video to TV screens? We've reached out to Hulu for an explanation but so far, haven't heard a response. Interestingly, the Hulu TOS was just updated as of June 26, and although we haven't found any PS3-specific passages, changing a browser's user-string to match the console reveals it is definitely being specifically blocked.

Worms 2: Armageddon on XBLA

This one kind of snuck up on me, but it looks like it will be out next week (July 1st?) for 800 MS points. It features the return of many classic weapons (fire even) and some new ones. It has an extensive single-player mode. Hopefully it includes online play, but I've yet to see a full feature set.

So, if I can pry the 360 controller away from the wife and her Fallout3:Point Lookout, I'll give this Worms game a go.
