Let’s say you’ve just spent the better part of $4,000 on a highly specialised development machine that’s designed for a single purpose: AI. Nothing about the device says it’s for gaming.

‘Releasing a compromised or half-finished version would be worse than not releasing it at all’. It’s been a while since we last heard any news about Black Finger Jet, the Metal Slug-like run ‘n’ gun being created by a group of Irem and SNK veterans.

Hello PlayStation.Blog friends, welcome to another season of MLB The Show! For anyone who grew up collecting baseball cards (I did!) or dreamed of managing a Major League Baseball team (I wish!), you may want to spend a little more time in Diamond Dynasty this year.
