Here's a quick peek at the creation side of LBP2. In the video Media Molecules Alex Evans talks you though a very creative new way of building a top down racing level and then goes on to show you how you can now create your own music to go with you games. Little Big Planet 2 (as I have said before) is a game EVERY! PS3 owner should go out and buy. Don't look at it as just a kids game, it's got mind blowing potential. Hmmm i wonder how long it will be before a band use the game as an instrument :). Check it out! - Pre order in the USA Pre order in the UK]]> http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/little-big-studio-time/1969/feed/ 0 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/get-qore-outside-of-the-u-s/1607/ http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/get-qore-outside-of-the-u-s/1607/#comments Wed, 07 Jul 2010 12:17:33 +0000 Rob Groove http://www.robgroove.com/?p=1607
If your in the US you can subscribe to Qore for $25.00 or you can just get PSN+ which includes the Qore subscription but for us over in Europe and the UK Qore is not availableso how do we get it? It's not easy to do but if you really want it this is how. First of all you need to make an American PSN account when it comes to the address part just use google to find a USA address and zip code, may i suggest somewhere in California as i they do not seem to charge tax whereas i think if you use a New York address you will be charged approx an extra $5. So now you have your USA PSN account you can now log on and view what the Americans get on their Playstation store (yes they get different content and PS Home is different too) But to buy anything from the US playstation store you will need to add funds to your PS wallet and you won't be able to do that with your Euro or UK credit/bank card as the address on your card does not match the adress on your US PSN [...]]]> http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/get-qore-outside-of-the-u-s/1607/feed/ 0 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/music-videos-on-the-ps3/1020/ http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/music-videos-on-the-ps3/1020/#comments Thu, 01 Apr 2010 13:00:41 +0000 Rob Groove http://www.robgroove.com/?p=1020
Do U underestimate VidZone? Before i start please note Vidzone is not available in all regions Quite often when im writing a blog (like now) or surfing the net  on my laptop etc etc i usually like a bit of music and quite often i will use VidZone on my PS3 n you know what? I love it. Every week the featured playlists are updated with new automatic playlists, new videos and charts. This is very usefull as you can just throw on a new playlist from this week and theres usually a list for everyone. The videos are streamed for free onto your TV with the occasional 30 sec Ad (approx every 3 or 4  songs)  Making your own playlists Now there are a great deal of songs on there to listen to but the down side is the search function is a bit pants to say the least so i add songs to my playlists as they appear in new playlists everyweek. It makes it very easy you just listen to the new playlists of the week and when you hear a tune you love just navigate over to wither the playlist your currently playing or just go to Now Playing, Find the [...]]]> http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/music-videos-on-the-ps3/1020/feed/ 0 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/heavy-rain-origami-anyone/795/ http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/heavy-rain-origami-anyone/795/#comments Thu, 25 Feb 2010 21:36:26 +0000 Rob Groove http://www.robgroove.com/?p=795 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/heavy-rain-origami-anyone/795/feed/ 0 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/wanna-know-how-to-get-into-the-the-games-industry/763/ http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/wanna-know-how-to-get-into-the-the-games-industry/763/#comments Fri, 19 Feb 2010 13:00:32 +0000 Rob Groove http://www.robgroove.com/?p=763
Check out N1tch's blog for some insiders advice on getting into the industry...... A few days ago I received a tweet asking me how to get into the Games Industry – I’ve been asked this before and it can be a tricky one to answer. Rather than writing a large blog post I thought it best to break this down into several bullet points and sections. Part 1 (this post) will give pointers on getting into the industry via the QA or Tester route. What follows are my personal suggestions of what I know and have seen work within this industry. If you’ve had any different or un-usual experiences please get in touch, as I’d like to add it to this guide and make it as useful as possible. The key things that a company will look for in a potential game tester are -    Click Here to carry on reading  ]]> http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/wanna-know-how-to-get-into-the-the-games-industry/763/feed/ 0 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/magtics/751/ http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/magtics/751/#comments Thu, 18 Feb 2010 13:00:25 +0000 Rob Groove http://www.robgroove.com/?p=751
This blog post is all thanks to DamoPointy Damopointy came up with a great idea to help sucure a win when defending on Aquisition in MAG (Massive Action Game) This might bite us in the ass but i thought i'd share it with everyone who comes to visit RobGroove.com. Its a very simple idea really, the attackers need to break into your base and steal a vehicle right? so all you gotta do is grab 3 of the 4 vehicles you have at your motor pools and block the enterance. If  they manage to blow one of them up you still have 2 to block with. If they get as far as getting the escort vehicle to the main gate, your blocking cars can hold it there untill one of your bunker turrets or someone with an RPG can blow them into the respawn screen.   Plus dont forget, The vehicles have their own guns on top so if there are 3 of you, one in each vehicle, you can just shoot the hell out of anything that comes near.   Big Thanks to Damopointy, Guitariste98 and Thedayuhate for helping me get these photo's]]> http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/magtics/751/feed/ 1
