Toshiba throws in the towel

By Gavin Mannion
February 16, 2008 - 18 years ago

Okay we are done. It is being reported today by Reuters that Toshiba has given up on the HD-DVD and is going to give Blu-Ray a free run. They will continue to sell HD-DVD players until everyone stops buying them but they are no longer putting any money into research and development for HD-DVD. This decision is estimated to cost …

You gotta love Mass Media

By Gavin Mannion
February 16, 2008 - 18 years ago

I have to admit I enjoy the EntertainmentAfrica website. It’s very nicely put together and all flashy and pretty. However the content sometimes leaves a lot to be desired. There game rankings are a joke as they have had Need For Speed: ProStreet as the number one game for ages. Higher than COD4… However that can be ignored. Earlier this …

Sony copying Microsoft?

By Gavin Mannion
February 15, 2008 - 18 years ago

Lets get this out of the way first. Sony was the first company to allow their previous games to be downloaded however those were small PS1 games. Microsoft upped the bar recently when they started letting people download original Xbox titles through their Live service and now it appears that Sony is planning on doing the same thing. This is …

PS3 outsells 360 in the US?

By Gavin Mannion
February 15, 2008 - 18 years ago

This was unexpected. The latest NPD sales data for the US has been released and the PlayStation 3 has actually outsold the Xbox 360 for the month of January. It also just missed outselling the Wii by a mere 5 000 units. The final figures for January were Wii  – 274,000PS3 – 269,000360 – 230,000 So what happened? I know …

Doobiwan has been ranting on his site again, I do enjoy his evil genius thoughts and he has once again kindly allowed me to copy and paste the entire thing… So let is begin.. This time he is arguing about the stupidity of the human race.. The Internet is a beautiful and utterly dreadful thing. In the entire history of …

HD-DVD surrendering?

By Gavin Mannion
February 15, 2008 - 18 years ago

So it looks like Toshiba is about to throw in the towel in the format wars and concede victory to Blu-Ray. It really is strange how quickly things change. I fully expected HD-DVD to win this war in the run up to christmas, they had the cheapest players out, the better features and were winning over studios. Then Warner made …

So is burnout just not serious enough for you and you are no longer getting the thrills from PGR4? Well fear not as a new game is on its way. Race Driver: Grid is hopefully being released later this year and from the new video that has been released it sure looks like it is going to be good….   …

Facebreaker Teaser

February 14, 2008 - 18 years ago

This game just appeals to me, I don’t know what it is since I am not a boxing fan by any stretch of the imagination. I do enjoy seeing new IP’s however and the humour that this game seems to possess does work for me. It’s still early days yet but for now this is an awesome teaser that has …

Grand Theft Auto IV – Special Edition

By Gavin Mannion
February 14, 2008 - 18 years ago

A rumour started this morning that the Grand Theft Auto Special Edition will only be available in South Africa on PS3 and not on Xbox 360. This didn’t quite sound right so I checked with Megarom and the rumour is untrue. The 360 Special Edition will be released locally and includes all the things you see in the image above …

The PS3 has the best Games, Wii worst

By Gavin Mannion
February 14, 2008 - 18 years ago

Matt Matthews from next-gen.biz has written a compelling article asking why the Wii has the lowest review scores around. Now while I found his article very interesting I do think the answer is because most publishers thought it was a gimmick and didn’t put any effort into it at all. The Wii is an oddity in that everyone wrote it …

Zero Punctuation: Sim City Societies and something…

February 14, 2008 - 18 years ago

This week Yahtzee takes his bad attitude out on Sim City Societies, which lets face it we all knew would not be his cup of tea so I don’t know why he even did it. I would presume however that would be the reason for the absolutely peculiar ending to the whole review. Sometimes you see that someone is just …
