Thirteen-year-old Thousand Oaks resident  Brandon Burns must have been a very bad kid. Santa brought the unlucky teen a PlayStation 3 for Christmas, but when he opened the box, he found it only contained a phonebook. Rather than call all the exciting phone numbers in the book, Burns reportedly laughed at the mix-up, but his parents did not. They’d shelled …

It seems Gabe and Tycho have decided they are no longer happy just drawing awesome cartoons and making some comments on the gaming industry, they seem to have decided to lash out against all the long standing institutions.. This week it is Mark Rein’s turn for a tongue… err keyboard lashing. After Tycho, rightfully, pointed out that the whole PS3 …

So it was the week before Christmas and all the shops were selling out of consoles…. Now the sales have been tallied and we can report on which console won the worldwide race… Okay that’s not true we can confirm that the Wii obviously won but who came second…. In first place as expected was the Wii with sales of …

It started off with that fluke grenade which everyone has been trying to out do. Well the above “Epic Suicide”, while obviously staged, is very impressive none the less. How long do you think it actually took them to do this?

It seems someone has finally gotten around to reading the terms and conditions of the Xbox Live service and now have their knickers in a knot about the fact that Microsoft can ban you for modding the fan on your Xbox 360. According to the T&C…. The Service may only be accessed with an original Xbox or Xbox 360 console …

I will see if I can find some great PS3 news before Christmas since this is obviously going to disappoint a fair many of you. It is being reported this morning that Haze, the highly anticipated PS3 shooter, has been delayed… again… Originally scheduled for November 2007 and then delayed until January 2008… Now, it looks like it has delayed …

It appears that LittleBigPlanet for the PS3 is about to be officially delayed until fall 2008… which would be Septemberish South African time… Feo actually posted about this at the exact same time I did… We both obviously want to see this game succeed, Personally I was really stoked about this game but then it started taking to long and …

SKATE is EA Games first attempt at breaking the stranglehold that Tony Hawks has on the skating genre. In general first attempts are either terrible or pretty good. SKATE is fantastic, easily better than the last Tony Hawks attempt. However that could have something to do with the sheer number of Tony Hawks games that have been released. When you …

I think today may be the first time I have been tempted to move to Australia. It is being reported this morning that Sony are offering to bundle 40GB PS3’s with every full HD Sony Bravia television bought in the land down under. This is probably one of the better moves that Sony has made this year. I know that …

I am a huge fan of the Guitar Hero series and I am very excited about the title to follow. It is not a continuation of GH as I am sure everyone is already aware but it is going to be absolutely rocking. I was hoping it would get a good review overseas so I know my pre-order won’t go …

What would the world be like without these awesome low res video comparison’s…. One thing it does seem to tell us is that the gameplay is frantic and that the 360 and PS3 seem to be quite happy with churning out the action. Apart from that they seem pretty identical…

Finally some real sales information from the other side of the pond. 78 million games were sold in the UK this year, revenue for the 3rd quarter alone came to 332 million pound and the part I found very suprising was The console market now accounts for 79 per cent of software revenues and 75 per cent of total software …
