Video Game Pipe Dream

Contrary to popular belief, we’re not dead! On this week’s Video Game Pipe Dream we take a look at Persona 3 Portable on the Playstation Portable, Deathsmiles on the Xbox 360, Flight Control HD on the iPad, Crackdown 2 on the Xbox 360 and finally we wrap up with the PlayStation Network exclusive downloadable game, Joe Danger on the PS3!

This time around on Video Game Pipe Dream Lee takes a peek at Singularity on Xbox 360 and PS3, we take another look at Splinter Cell: Conviction exclusively on the 360, Mike heads to the golf course for a round with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 on both the 360 and the PS3, Lee takes a peek at Ninety-Nine Nights 2 on the 360, we take a trip to the past and check out the Sonic Classic Collection on Nintendo DS and finally we break down the new PlayStation Plus service offered by Sony.

So while we’ve certainly been around for a while now, we’ve changed a couple of new features over the past couple weeks that we feel need a little bit of attention to get the most out of them. For starters, you’ll notice a handy little login section in the top of the sidebar. Signing up is free and takes less than 60 seconds to complete.

Stuff you can do when you sign up:

• Create a friend list and chat amongst your fellow gamers
• Join or create a group devoted to your favorite publisher, game or franchise
• Comment on anything you’ve read on VGPD.com
• Build your profile complete with your online gaming IDs and your favorite games

Stuff we’re working on:

• Weekly game nights where the VGPD gang get together (online) and kill/help each other in a chosen game
• Opening up a forum for public discussion on anything game related (and possible non-game related)
• Looking into adding achievements for various tasks you complete while you’re on the site
• More ideas TBA

Have an idea, question or comment? Let us know!

On this week’s show, we take a peek at the newly released Transformers: War for Cybertron on PS3 and Xbox 360, Trauma Center as well as Sin & Punishment: Star Successor, which are both available on the Nintendo Wii, Canabalt on the iPad and finally we close off the show with a review that is nearly 3 months in the making, namely NIER on the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Weren’t able to be in LA this past week for E3? Don’t worry! Lee’s got you covered! With camera in hand, he was able to capture footage of the show from the floor. Check it out!
