The Hot Shots series is Sony's answer to the Mario sports titles and much like Mario, these titles are just pure, unadulterated fun. If you play a Hot Shots title and you don't crack a smile, there is seriously something lacking in your personality. With quirky characters, fun gameplay, and virtually limitless customizable options, the Hot Shots name has been a fun filled ride for many years. Hot Shot Golf struck a hole-in-one when it came to the PSP, and now Sony and Clap Hanz are bringing the fun of the tennis court to the PSP with the release of Hot Shots Tennis: Get a Grip. Tennis isn't anything new for the series, in fact the PS2 has a Hot Shots Tennis title release in 2007, but it wasn't received all that well, but Clap Hanz created an entirely new experience for PSP owners with Get a Grip and it's a fun one to be had. With a comical story, colorful characters, and pleasant gameplay, Get a Grip will provide you with many hours of pure enjoyment.
Joystiq:
Sony has pulled two PSP titles from the PlayStation Network, reportedly over concerns that they can be used in Vita exploits. Hot Shots Tennis (called Everybody's Tennis in Europe) and MotorStorm Arctic Rift are no longer available for download from any device that connects to the PlayStation Store.
Ok Sony is just protecting their product. This exploit can lead to the death of the vita.
I guess people...AKA joystick forgot there are still places you can buy games in a box. Now if these titles are only on PSN then yes this is a problem but if not...well a lot of people still go to stores to pick up their games.
Hacking leads to fear of hacking and fear of hacking leads to more hacking. Can we just... cut the fear part? I mean hacking isn't a nice thing either, but we all know it's not gonna disappear.
i have a vita and love it but i can honestly say that if games are going to be pulled everytime there a chanceof a hack through it then its gonna suck for people who bought these games to play on the vita and sony should refund
Gamasutra's retrospective of 2010 finishes with a look at the Top 5 underrated titles of the year, celebrating overlooked gems such as music puzzler Chime and Treasure's on-rails Wii shooter, Sin & Punishment: Successor to the Skies.
My #1 underrated game of 2010: 3D Dot Game Heroes. It was smashed in reviews (averaging 7/10 on Metacritic), but I loved every minute of it. I can't expect someoen who cut their teeth on Call of Duty or Halo to understand, but for those who grew up on Zelda, Dragon Warrior, and Final Fantasy, 3D Dot Game Heroes is a love letter to those gamers.
Amnesia: The Dark Descent.
This survival-horror game deserved much more attention than anything else. Story was fairly well written, graphics was excellent, and holy sh*t was it scary as hell. I bet Satan himself would jizz his pants if he were to play Amnesia.
I would consider Amnesia one of the best games of 2010...period.
Sin & Punishment: Star Successor is an 87 on Metacritic so I wouldn't call it underrated. Just undersold.
Just Cause 2 defintely deserved more recognition.
Much better than GTA IV.
Hot Shots Tennis: Get A Grip is a relatively new sports game out on the PSP. The first iteration of the game was released on the PlayStation 2 a few years back. Can the inclusion of a plethora of unlockables and the newer level-up system help the game score an Roddick style ace? Or will it be as disappointing as Roddick’s recent career?
I didn't even know they made a hot shots tennis.. looks decent
