Buzz! Brain Bender Is Run-Of-The-Mill Puzzler

We’ve gotten some time with Buzz! Brain Bender, a recent release from SCEE and Relentless. The game is full of puzzles which are actually kind of engrossing and certainly difficult for all sizes of brains, but the game itself is only lukewarm. This will appeal to fans of the genre, but might not attract the new following that the genre deserves, and may even repel the most diehard puzzlemasters.

You pretty much have to endure a number of different puzzles and then find out what your Brainpower rating is, and then see how your brain is improving over time. However, you…

If you haven’t already been introduced to Loco Roco, now’s a good time to shake some hands and move on to the fascinating, saccharine-cute, kind-of-nauseating gameplay just in time for the release of its sequel, Loco Roco 2.

Many fans of the original cited its ultimately repetitive gameplay, so Sony has made sure to change things up a little bit and also to include lots more to do, including an expanded suite of minigames, to keep your enormous brain and epic attention span in check. It’s super-colorful and the music is fun and has an annoying tendency to get stuck in…

We think its features outweigh the grievances hands-down, and we’re excited to get our friends hooked on this title, too.

Chatter from the exploit circuit has the relatively old PSP game GripShift being exploited for a buffer overflow hack. We’re excited because it’s interesting to see a new exploit that’s compatible with the PSP 3000, even if the game is really kind of lame. A paraphrase of an excerpt from the PSP hacker, MaTiAz, who discovered the flaw and authored a piece of code to demonstrate its presence, explains the exploit like this:

There’s a buffer overflow vulnerability during the loading of saves in games such as GripShift, which can be exploited to insert code in $ra. The return is found…
