PSP GO UMD conversion not happening for 'legal... →

Well looks like I’m not going to be in any rush to upgrade from my old PSP 1000 and UMD games unless I can sell it for a reasonable amount. The high price tag was already killing most of my hype for the new handheld. “Good job” Sony… [via destructoid.com] Update: Sony America scraps UMD-to-PSP Go conversion plans [Joystiq.com]

LUMINES – Touch Fusion (iPhone game) →

Known as one of the best puzzle games on the PSP, this should be a must get on iPhone if it’s anything close to the PSP version… However it’s not getting the best reviews so far, but still worth a look. Get the free lite version here: [iTunes link] The full version is $2.99 [iTunes link].

For those of you playing ODST and missed this back when Halo 2 launched. It ties into the Halo 2 and ODST story. I may listen to it again to see exactly how much it ties into ODST. [Link: ilovebees.com]

Autodesk SketchBook Mobile for iPhone →

This is the first large company I’ve seen release an art tool on the iPhone. Not sure how it stacks-up against Brushes or Layers, but I’ll be giving the free version a try (iTunes Link). The only thing it seems to lack is a large format export. Update: First impressions. I really don’t like the interface… It’s a challenge even to figure-out how to change the brush...

★ New Untitled Image: Art critique blog →

Now open for art submissions! I’ve closed the old message board Untitled Image site, and relaunched this in it’s place. I have found lately that most people have little to no interest in posting on message boards, be it due to lack of time or interest. So Untitled Image is now a blog that anyone can submit artwork to. Comments and critique are encouraged via Facebook, Twitter, or...

CoverSutra 2.2 Beta 5 fixes Snow Leopard Issues →

I wasn’t aware of this beta version until I started noticing that CoverSutra was displaying the wrong track names and checked into it on the developer’s blog.

Art Critique Blog: Coming Soon...

untitledimage: Due to lack of interest in message board format communities, Untitled Image (my old art community site) will be converted into a “critique art blog”. Visitors will be asked to upload/submit their art for approval and posting on the blog, a comment system will be open for (encouraged) critique and comments.

I grabbed a few games I’ve been interested in but never got around to buying until now. Jade Empire: Special Edition for PC Item Price: $2.00 A good RPG that I missed-out on; originally for the old Xbox, from the makers of MassEffect and Knight of the Old Republic. Prey for PC Item Price: $1.00 A good yet kinda generic FPS that should be totally worth the $1. Still sold for...

Using this guide I found, I setup an automator script last night to sync my iTunes to my new gaming PC over my network. It’s a one way sync, but that works fine since my Mac is the my main machine. It would also work great with two Macs. UPDATE: This script started deleting music on my main machine so I dropped it… I’d suggest just using the new iTunes 9 Home Sharing to pull new...
