My thoughts and prediction on Playstation network
I decided to throw my two cents in about the Playstation network being hacked. First of all, I am one of the 75 million that were hacked, after hearing this yesterday I change the email and passwords to most of the other accounts I made using the email I used for PSN. Early this year GeoHot Hotz hacked the PS3, early this month Anonymous hacked PSN and last week was hacked again. I would like to know did Playstation after being hacked for the first time change anything to make sure it wont happen again? Did they find out how GeoHot Hotz did it and made it so it wont happen again? My guesses are that they didn't, after something like that would happen I would be hiring ether him or other hackers to help improve PSN so it couldn't be hacked. Now I don't know if anyone in the real world has ever done that before, that would never work in real life or I'm watch to much TV. Last night when the story broke I was watching a live stream of Lordkat. He was explaining how the information for credit cards and personal information were stored, both need to be stored separate and credit card information on the hard drives are stored like money in a vault. So if the hacker/s have the credit card information Playstation didn't find him and stop him fast or the information was not locked up tight. Lordkat did said on Saturday that PSN is down due to hackers and that they must have done something bad for it to still be down. Now for what I think will happen to Playstation after this. It is now 8am, when the NY stock exchange opens today Sony stock with fall and will close at a price around $13. Yesterday it closed at $29.70. PSN store will lose a huge (50% to 60% guess) of sells for full games add ons and everything. Yes you can buy pre-paid cards and the sell of those will go up a little but some like myself wont fell safe with Playstation ever again. Trade in and used sell of PS3 will go up a bit, out of the 75 million there will be a few that will sell/trade their PS3 in for a 360. Sells of 360 will go up and sells of PS3 will go down. I am also guessing that we wont see many or no PSN only games, companies wouldn't want to make a game on a console where most of the users don't feel safe on buying it with out a pre-paid card r not at all. During the E3 sony press conference for this year I wont be surprised if a few or most of the people boo Sony and I feel that they may not even show up at TGS or E3 next year if things don't get better. If they had plans for a new PSP or tablet they should just can it. Would you buy any system or tablet from a company that was hacked three time in a few months and one of the hackers has info on all its users? My guess is that Sony wont recover from this and will leave the gaming business.

Games I beat Q1 of 2011
Math Blaster: Episode 1 - In Search of Spot
A fun educational game, got alittle lost where you flying with a jetpack on what to do.
Castlevania
This game is hard until you use the holy water, it is so over powered. Holy water pwns all
Dragon Age: Origins
This game needs a arrow, most of the time in the game I was lost. I did enjoy it and want to play it again as a different class. Still need to play some of the DLC.
The Simpsons Arcade
Game I think I may beaten this in the arcades. Its a fun game and if it came out on the xbla I would get it.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
This game is so much fun but also hard at times. Love all the new things they added like yoshi. I do wish there was more voice acting in the game.
Mega Man X
I had with as a kid but never beat it, never wrote down the passwords. This game feels very easy, I did get most of the power ups.(no Hadouken)
Mega Man
I dont think I played this as a kid. The robot masters are not hard but Dr. Willie my god. The first boss you fight the one eye that break in to pieces and goes side to side, I hate that boss, in the anniversary collection you cant do the pause glitch so I did it on rom. At first I thought I couldnt do it on the rom too but found out that I have to hit select button not the start which I was hitting. Derp
3D dot game hero
I would say I enjoy this more than Link to the past but then I enter the flame temple. In the flame temple if you die you have to do almost every thing you just did again due to the walls raising up, because of this I dead... a lot. This temple took me two days to complete. It feel just like Link to the past but the game tells and shows you where to go so you will never get lost.
Dead to Rights: Retribution
This feels like a cookie cutter game, mostly everything feels like it's from a other great game. The only thing that feel different is when your playing as a dog, and it is boring. All you do is run at someone hit the attack button and the dog kills him. The story feels like I heard this over and over again from other games and movies. The game feels like Max Payne also looks like a last gen game with touched up graphs. The game only 6-7 hours long and I dont see why anyone would have paid the full $60 for it, there is no multiplayer just single player.
Super Mario Bros.
I may have beaten this as a kid but I dont remember ever beaten this game.
Dark Cloud 2
http://www.giantbomb.com/dark-cloud-2/61-10007/user-reviews/?review_id=18830
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
I got half way through the last level, restarted with cheat and beat it. How can anyone beat this without cheating? The last level has non stop barrels and bomber guys, it is insane.
Super Mario Bros. 3
I know that I never beat this game as a kid. I would always get the the 8th world and give up after a few deaths.
Killzone 2
I found this game so boring, with one i found it boring at first then enjoyed it at the end. With this one I didnt like it. What I hate about this game the most is cant use L2 to aim, I'm use to using the left trigger to aim. Most of the time I go to aim I would melee. I just found shooting hard in this game, at the end of the game I was just running at everyone and knifing them. Im passing on killzone 3.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Never knew of a power rangers game until a year ago where I saw a video about it. Everything is great but Zack in the game I mean wtf?
Rygar: The Legendary Adventure
Rented this after watching someone play the NES Rygar and they said that there was a PS2 version. It like a god of war game years before god of war came out. The camera sucks at times and there are not that many types of enemies. Got lost a few times but after looking at a walk through alway felt dumb that I didnt see the way to go. The story is weird,
Milon's Secret Castle
This is one of those game I played as a kid and liked it, now I dont like it but I dont hate it as well. I cant believe how far I got in this game when I was a kid. On 1 life due to the fact I didnt know how to countiue got to the 3rd level of the castle, almost beaten the game. Plus I did this with out any help like Nintendo power.
Where's Waldo?
Who thought to make a video game about the where's Waldo books? Played it on easy and beat it in 30 mins only hard part to the game is the slot machine where you need to get 3 Waldo heads to launch a rocketship to the moon.
Barbie
I played and beat this all beacause Craig ( http://twitter.com/TheHeroOfGaming ) said he beat this game. yeah that is why I beat it. The jumping in the game sucks and that is all that sucks with the game. You play as Barbie in her dreams, you use bows and gems to solve puzzles to go foward in the level.
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
I was going for 100k gamerscore and this game is easy points. Game is boring, Ben Stiller didn't do voice work for the game but why cant the person look like him more, I don't know why but to me that didn't look like Ben Stiller.
Singularity
This is a ok game, besides getting lost a few times there are no problems with this game. The story is ok but lost my interst after some time. The multiplayer is fun but dead, takes 8 people to start a game and no one ever on. After playing this makes me want to try time shift.
Mass Effect 2
My new pick for best game in 2010. It feels less RPGish that one and one is the game that got me in to RPGs. Even though it took me 60+ hours I feel that I still missed some things and want to play through it again. One part of the game where you meet up with Ashley kinda bugs me, SPOILERS! when the mission starts you see Ashley and people running from the hive. Ashley gets caught by the hive and shes a goner right? well at the end of the mission Ashley shows up fine and we get no explanation on how she is fine or what happened.
Sesame Street: Countdown
I was bored and half a sleep when I wonder how clear was the voice in this game was. That night I was watching Angry video game nerd videos. I cant believe how crasp and clear the voice is in it.You play as the count finding number or objects of the number you are searching for in 8, 8 level ah ah ah.
Mario is Missing!
Luigi has not had any good games with just him in it and this started it. I do remember renting this as a kid and not knowing that its a edution game.
Tiny Toon Adventures
This game is great but switch to a other person like dizzy is hard you need to find this ball with a star on it. It plays mostly like SMB 3. Out of the other Tiny toon games I seen and played this one the best.
Sonic Blast
Sonic on the Game gear doesnt work sonic is slow on them. With this sonic game sonic take up half the screen and its hard to see whats coming up. This game does have good graphs and a good legth.
Bible Buffet
Board game with no real bible game feel to it. You can play alone but its boring to do so, it would have been nice if there was a AI player.
Anticipation
Boring board game cant remember that much about it.
A fun educational game, got alittle lost where you flying with a jetpack on what to do.
