Back in the good old days when televisions came in both black&white and colour, my brothers and I would play games on our Atari. Games like Ballblazer, Joust, Galaxian, Archon, QIX, and Q*Bert. Ah, those were the good old days. When men were men and games were quick & fun.

Earlier this year we heard that Joust was coming to the PS3, and I rejoiced. (Now I’m just trying to sniff out exactly when it’ll come.) Today I hear that Q*Bert is coming to the PS3 and I don’t rejoice so much. I just don’t think the game was that good. Bouncing up and down on a triangular grid of cubes gets tiring really fast.

Ah well. For those of you with high threshholds of gaming boredom, maybe this game will find it’s way into your checkout basket at the Sony Online Store. But not me.
