Another week of great deals for the Xbox 360. This week, Play-Asia.com brings us Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 for only $17.90. This is the Asian region version so it contains both English and Chinese subtitles; however, it’ll only work on Japanese or other Asian region systems. Shame. When are they going to give us some non-region specific deals, eh?

A lot of people say this game is too easy. Others call it soft-shell prawn, if you get my meaning. Both valid, but my biggest problem with the DOA Xtreme series is the treatment of the characters. These are cool girls; ninjas, assasins, billionare empire heiress, etc. Sure, they’re some more carefree girls, but for the most part I find it really unlikely that a women would stay to lounge around and play beach volleyball with her mother’s killer.

Words cannot not express my excitement over the news that Starcraft II is coming out. No one even knows when, and already I can’t wait. I can’t even remember the last time a PC, no, any game has made me anticipate its release so. (more…)

Did you know that you can watch episodes of Heroes on NBC.com? It’s pretty neat, and if you haven’t seen this series, you should check it out.

Calling All Cars wasn’t exactly the pick up and play experience I thought it would be. First of all, for a game to be totally pick up and play, you should never have to look up the controls and be able to figure out how to play it. My first round, I couldn’t figure out how everyone was driving around so fast. After a while though, you get the controls, you get the pacing, and then the game is just really fun. Haven’t played single player yet though.

2.00? Already? Well, according to Wiki’s chart, the Playstation 3 has had a firmware update just about every month. If these rumored improvements are in the release pipeline, I can’t wait. XMB access from in game, anyone? Next time someone asks me how Calling All Cars is while I’m in game, I might be able to answer. I guess we’ll (maybe) see at Sony’s Gamer’s Day tomorrow. (more…)

Summer is just around the corner, so its time to add some new sections to this slowly growing corner of the web that I call Storpi. It’s not much now, but I’ve added a list of items that are available on the Playstation Store, which I’ll try to update as often as possible.

I wish that Sony would give us some sort of heads up on what’s going to be released before the day of release. Finding out what exactly is coming out every week has been a source of slight frustration for me, so these new pages are supposed to help you all with that. So as soon as I know, you can know too.

Also, I also want to use these pages as an experiment on making a web page to be viewed on a PS3. Why would you want to do that when you can just go to the Playstation Store if you’re on a PS3? Check back and find out.
