PlayStation Around the Web: What We Read

Another great, busy week in PlayStation land. Of course if you followed along, you know there was a lot going on Blog-ville this week…and the week ended with a patch for Fat Princess that improves multiplayer connections (yay!).

But hey, we’re not completely self-involved! Shatter and Fat Princess continue to soak up great reviews. We seem to be learning more about Persona and Final Fantasy XIV every day.

By the biggest surprise for me this week was firing up my morning Adam Carolla podcast, specifically the episode with The Crystal Method. About halfway through, the Method talks MAG for a couple minutes, going off about how crazy the game is, and how great it looks. I recommend giving it a whirl (and the Ace-Man is always good for a listen).

See you tomorrow.
