Hopefully all includes us as well. To the point however, to celebrate Live’s fifth birthday Microsoft is offering all Live members a free gift. All 8 million members are going to be getting a free arcade game and all members who have been active since 2002 will be getting 500 Microsoft point for free and for nothing…. Hopefully we are included and hopefully …

Sony has managed to pull a fast one over Microsoft by announcing official DivX support first. While it has been widely expected for the Xbox 360 Fall update to include DivX support no one had mentioned anything about the PS3 supporting it. However a date for implementation has not yet been announced so Microsoft may still be the first to …

Just a quick apology for the downtime since Thursday afternoon, I finally had my first holiday in 3 years and had written a few posting which were meant to automatically become live as the hours went by to keep the site ticking over. Sounded awesome, didn’t work :(… So please accept the apologies I will try to understand this system …

Mark Rein has been been waxing lyrical about playing Unreal Tournament III on the PS3. According to him UTIII raised the bar in graphical quality which has been sitting happily with Gears for virtually a year now. It is great to hear that they have resolved any issues that may have existed with the unreal engine running on PS3’s before …

So in the run up to Call of Duty 4 all the noise and rumours were about which one would look better. Now that it is out we can be quite confident that they are pretty much identical unless you are a 360 or PS3 fan then your one is obviously better. However with the campaign only being 5 hours …

So what can we expect in the Xbox 360 all update? Since Microsoft and Sony have completely opposite tactics in updating their system we can at least say for sure that it is going to be a big one. So far the only thing confirmed is the parental timer, which I think is a master stroke. Basically you set a time …

This game has suddenly gone up in leaps and bounds in my book. Gamesradar is reporting that the last stage of MGS4 is undoubtedly going to be set in South Africa, in the remains of Outer Heaven to be exact. If you are an exceptionally dedicated gamer you may well remember that the original Metal Gear Solid game had a mercenary …

He’s back and he’s not in a good mood. This week he was forced to review Zelda on the Nintendo DS and let’s just say he isn’t impressed… Funny as always but remember he does have a potty mouth so possibly not safe for work… The Escapist : Zero Punctuation: Zelda Phantom Hourglass

Here is something that I found very suprising. For the three months leading up to September EA Games platform sales came in at an exceptionally healthy $435 million. In their latest financial papers EA Games has broken this figure down by platform and the results are interesting… Xbox 360 – $218 millionPlayStation 2 – $73 millionNintendo Wii – $59 millionNintendo DS – …

Could the Xbox 360 actually beat the PS3 in Japan? Well if the first indications are anything to go by this is exactly what has happened in the last week. The figures are not final yet but currently according to VGChartz the 360 sold 17 000 units last week in Japan while the PS3 only shifted 16 000. The Wii still stands head and …

Well this is a good news story for the PS3 this morning. A COD 4 developer has been speaking to the media and has stated categorically that developing for the PS3 is easy. He goes on to assume that other companies may be struggling as they are choosing lead platforms and then porting while Activision is platform agnostic. I am …

I saw this morning that the official PlayStation 3 blog had been updated with some firmware 2.0 information. Now don’t shoot me if I am missing something but so far this firmware update is completely under whelming. According to Eric Lempel, Director of the PSN operations, the following great features are going to be in version 2.0 Information Board – An RSS …
