By Gavin Mannion
December 18, 2007 - 18 years ago

Amazon.com has started taking pre-orders for Gears of War 2 this morning with an expected delivery date of 15th November 2008 Unless I am mistaken Epic has still not officially confirmed that a second version is on it’s way but I don’t think you need to be a psychic to figure out that it’s on its way… Amazon also recommends …

By Gavin Mannion
December 18, 2007 - 18 years ago

Seeing that the Nintendo Wii is so difficult to get hold off it seems that Amazon has found a new way to ship Next Gen Nintendo Consoles… Lie… Though it looks like a toy, don’t be fooled: the Nintendo GameCube is a powerful video game console that rightly deserves its place among the other next-generation game systems. In fact, its …

December 18, 2007 - 18 years ago

Possibly not one of the awards that Sony wanted to win this year but in Fortune’s latest list of 101 dumbest moments in business this year Sony has managed to make the list twice… Microsoft managed to make it as well but there placement was unrelated to gaming. Sony’s two dumbest business mistakes according to Fortune are The beheaded Goat …

US Retailers predict their winners

By Gavin Mannion
December 18, 2007 - 18 years ago

This is a nice change, instead of some analyst in an office predicting who is going to win the console war a company called MCV has gone out and canvassed 100 retailers to get their opinion. Now obviously 100 retailers is to small a grouping to be scientifically accurate but hey it’s something at least. So in a look back …

Telkom selling the Xbox 360 Arcade

By Gavin Mannion
December 18, 2007 - 18 years ago

There has been quite a bit of Internet noise about the fact that Telkom is currently running a Xbox 360 Arcade promotion. You pick up the Arcade with an extra controller but without the two retail games (PGR3 and DOA4) for R3007.99 or R108.75 per month. Now personally I don’t see the special apart from being able to pay it …

PS3 Firmware update (2.10) coming today?

By Gavin Mannion
December 17, 2007 - 18 years ago

It looks like Sony has pulled a fast one and is about to release it’s 2.10 firmware without any previous fanfare. This one seems to be the single best update that Sony has released yet. It is going to include Blu-Ray Profile 1.1, a voice changer and some smaller music changes… You are going to need 120Mb of hard drive …

Not happy with just terrifying people using computer games and real life movies, now Sony and Capcom have linked up to create a full length CG movie entitled “Resident Evil Degeneration”   The first trailer has now been released and is well worth a look…. scary stuff.

Burnout Xbox 360 vs PS3 video comparison

By Gavin Mannion
December 15, 2007 - 18 years ago

We have heard recently that the PS3 version of Burnout Paradise City is graphically better on the PS3 so it is no suprise to see a million different comparisons popping up. Personally I think even with this dodgy web video the PS3 version just looks that little bit better. Especially in the pre-rendered crash scene. So whether you go for …

Okay this is the last weekend to enter the limited edition Altair Statue competition. The rules have slightly changed from the original posting as some of the guys who sometimes write for the site also wanted to enter. So in the interests of fairness and transparency I will no longer be judging the comp. I will send through the top …

PS3 'infinitely more fun' than Wii60

By Gavin Mannion
December 14, 2007 - 18 years ago

Howard Stringer has been kind enough to show us that Sony hasn’t lost its arrogance…. He has come out and said to the Guardian newspaper in the UK “The PlayStation 3 will come into its own because its [high-end games] are infinitely more fun, demanding and exciting,” Must be all those 4D graphics hey Ken Howard? I would like to …

Wii attracts cockroaches?

By Gavin Mannion
December 14, 2007 - 18 years ago

There is a very strange story hitting the Internet this morning. Apparently a powered on Wii emits a high frequency sound which falls perfectly into the range that cockroaches find attractive…. Personally I think it is all nonsense as I am sure we would have heard something about Nintendo Wii’s being over run by cockroaches before now… But hey it’s …

DivX better on the PS3?

By Gavin Mannion
December 14, 2007 - 18 years ago

I have to admit that I don’t know much about DivX but it seems that the Sony has put more effort into DivX than Microsoft did. According to tech.blorge.com… First of all, unlike the Xbox 360, the PS3 is DivX certified. While the Microsoft’s console can only playback some DivX files, the PS3 will get full DivX functionality. This includes …
