Sound Shapes for PS3 and Vita

Sound Shapes is a new 2D platform music game from Playstation for the PS3 and Vita. Being a Playstation Family member my family was given codes to test them out, and boy did we. Actually I let my daughter go first and I'm still waiting for a turn. The game is great for music lovers and those interested in game design.

The game is visual appealing with design by Pixeljam, Capy, Superbrothers, and others. The music is by I Am Robot and Proud, Jim Guthrie and Deadmau5. 

With every stage you clear in the game you open more components to create your own stages and music. After my daughter had played for about an hour she had enough to create the stage below. My daughter is 8 years old and had no difficulty finding her way around. I will admit she is pretty familiar with Playstation and gaming in general.

I almost got a turn last night but then my husband got on. So let's watch this video and see what Playstation has to say about the game.

PlayStation 3: Movie Mecca

Last week PlayStation invited a group of bloggers up to their head quarters in Foster city. I was grateful and over joyed to be included. They also gifted each of us a PS3.

Now of course we all know that the PS3 is an amazing gaming systems with the best graphic and sound, but what I love about it is the movie capabilities. I know surprise surprise.

First you can use your PS3 to play blu rays, which really are the next best thing to virtual reality. Then there are all the streaming choices. If you, like me have used other system to stream Netflix, you know the result can be disappointing. The quality really is about the same as bunny ears. The PS3 however has much higher quality, that to me seems on par with playing the movie on DVD if not blu ray.

Streaming choices include Vudu, Hulu, Netflix, not to mention all the films available through the Sony Network.

I haven't even gone into all the music capabilities the system has, but I can only wrestle the controllers away from my daughter and husband so often. Stay tuned for more on that.
