Devil May Cry 4 Demo & How I got an American PSN Account



There I am Thursday night, skipping home from work with a pocket full of dreams and an itchy gaming thumb. These dreams of course were all about trying out the new DMC4 demo. Imagine my disappointment then when I turn on my PS3 and see there is no demo to be had. Yes Sony has farted in my general direction again at the same time as kissing the arse of Japan and American. Fury in sued followed by ingenuity, see I had heard from a colleague that us limies can get an American PSN account with out too much bother and enjoy the sweet juicy goodness contained within. That is exactly what I did and here is how I did it,

- First off, find an address somewhere in America, I being super clever just did a search for hair dressers in New York with google maps.
- Next slide over to users on your PS3 at the far left, hit triangle and logout, then create a new user.
- Once created and you have logged in, slide right over to the Playstation Network and you will find a new icon, like the one when you first bought the PS3 letting you create a PSN account.
- Hit this and follow though the pages filling in your various details, not forgetting your new American address.
- Once you've finished, if you now go to the PSN Store you'll see loads of funny symbols next to all the prices that look like this $, this means your in the American Store, Hurrah!

Once your in you'll find the DMC4 demo, if you can't wait till Thursday for it, along with a Black Site Area 51 and Turok demos. I still don't see why we have to wait for this stuff when those American's can get it, I'm guessing it's all the translation from American to English they need to do inside these demos, color to colour, sidewalk to pavement, sweater to jumper, could take ages.

The Demo for DMC4 is kind of interesting but then a little underwhelming as well, not sure what I was expecting to be honest, it's kind of more DMC with much flashier graphics. Well not so true really, you have a few more new moves, the devil arm for pulling baddies over and throwing them around is a lot of fun, you can also use it to propel yourself over certain designated ledges. The graphics do look really really amazing though, great detail and distance can be seen, such detail is also true of the monsters you pick a fight with. Nero is not present in the demo, guess you'll just have to wait until the game's released, ho hum.

So don't waste any more time listening to me prattle on about it, you know how to get it now, off you go chop chop.

Chess (Wood)

Having worked through a few retro video games lately I thought I'd try one of the earliest I could find. Similar in play to something like Final Fantasy Tactics on the Game Boy Advanced, Chess is a deep game, easy enough to pick up but becomes brain hemorrhagingly complex very quickly. Oddly for games of this period it's multiplayer only, similar to say Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 with no single player mode. You actually have to have friends to play this and, much like the Game Boy Advanced, they must be sat in front in of you. Mercifully, batteries and link cables are not required which could explain some of its popularity. Chess has evolved a rich tournament following too and global competitions are held regularly, accumulating five times the viewers of the League of Legends World Championships. The game does have its draw backs. It’s very easy for novices to get into a none winnable situation, two pieces following each other round the board until someone nods off. A little of ...

Pokemon Sapphire (GBA)

  Here we have the 3 rd Generation of Pokémon Games for the Nintendo handheld console. Sapphire and Ruby. Not a great deal has changed since the first generation and nor will it for the next six. The game consists of you skuttling around a made-up Japanese island hunting creatures into servitude. The poor beings follow you on a long excursion of frequent and arduous battles with other trainers. Eventually culminating in your crowning as Pokémon master of masters of the universe! or some such. The game is a heavily disguised version of more traditional Role-Playing Games. Rather than fighting yourself though, you thrust your hapless creatures in the role of ready cannon fodder. Carefully selecting moves against opponent types in an overly complex version of rock, paper scissors. Your minions evolve, change (sometimes unrecognisably from before) and learn completely new moves. The evolution of these little buddies is quite satisfying, and you soon become quite attached to a few of t...

Devil May Cry 4, Is Reviewed

I'm scarred, I'm scarred because here will be another game that I will buy, spend about 5mins playing before I question my PS3's parentage and sexual activity in loud squeaky voice. I know this will happen mainly because of this line in the review , "the game is kick-in-the-balls tough", yep really looking forward to this. I also KNOW this will happen because exactly the same thing happened to me with DMC3, think I got the bit just after the 3 headed dog (The FIRST boss), then lost my save....Have not played it since. But I know I'll buy it again because I love DMC, 1 was breath of fresh minty air not seen again until God of War came out, 2 was large poo baguette but then 3 while very difficult I did enjoy, once I'd calmed down. Oh but then there is a small glimmer of hope for me, "DMC4 is easier than the third instalment" Thank GOD! Note: Previous incidents mentioned above have honestly almost got me kicked out halls in uni, DOA2, nuff said. CVG
