Call me completely under whelmed. While I am sure the graphics are going to look great on a proper HDTV and not some web video I am just very worried about some of the more next gen requirements. In the beginning cut scene the character models look decidedly last gen and how much hair gel do you think she needs …

The Simpsons achievements have been released this morning and in the time honoured Simpsons tradition they have some interesting achievements. Obviously the names could give away some spoilers so if you are not to worried about that follow the link to check them out. There are 44 achievements for the obligatory 1000 points. My favourite being “Press START to play”… …

Hey it looks like another PS3 bashing Monday. First I posted about the extended Halo Half Life delay and the very next story is about the horrible framerate issues in the PS3 version of Skate. A bunch of angry Skate fans have started a petition on the official Skate forums about the framerate and terribly laggy multiplayer in Skate. I found the comment below quite amusing …

We all knew that PS3 version of Half Life 2 – Orange Box had been delayed. According to the developers the delay was expected to be 2-3 weeks. However this delay seems to be expanding yet again. In a recent flyer being displayed on Valves website you can pre-order the PC or 360 version but there has been no mention of the …

It seems that Microsofts first response to the recently announced 40GB PS3 is to offer some more valued bundles. Once again the much rumoured Arcade version is mentioned and a new  bundle. A HDMI enabled Xbox 360 premium with Forza 2 and Viva Pinata for 350 Euros. So two free games? Not a bad deal really and Viva Pinata really …

So some big news coming out of Sony in the last couple of hours. Firstly the 60Gb PS3 has received a price drop and will now be 75 pounds cheaper than before… About R1000 hopefully for us (R5400). Then if that isn’t good enough they have now announced a 40GB PS3 which will retail for the same price as the Xbox …

I reported on this rumour a few days ago and 18 minutes ago I received a press release from Microsoft South Africa confirming it. Microsoft Corp. today announced a plan for Bungie Studios, the developers of the Halo franchise, to embark on a path to become an independent company.  Microsoft will retain an equity interest in Bungie at the same time continuing its …

Abev sent in a tip that Gran Turismo 5 Prologue for the PS3 will be free. According to Polyphony, The Gran Turismo 5 Prologue gives you an online-enabled sampler of the GT5 experience. In the Prologue, will be dozens of different cars, and a few variety of environments to explore before the official games grand debut Which is all good and …

I have always enjoyed Bungie’s sense of humour and they haven’t let me down with Halo 3 yet. Here are two Easter egg videos from Halo 3 but be warned they may contain some spoilers if you are yet to finish the game. The first video is from the last stage of the game and the second video is from …

Here is a video montage of all the parts in Gears that you won’t get to play on the Xbox 360 version. Generally I don’t post anything PC related but this is Gears and with all the Halo mania going around I thought it was only fair to give our old friend some more air time. I love the sound …

It seems like the fabled October 12th announcement is going to actually happen on the 5th of October. Yes which is today so keep your eyes peeled. Sony will announce tomorrow (today) that has bowed to consumer pressure by not only reducing the price of its 60GB console, but also creating a 40GB version priced at 299 pounds to go up …

Nothing… After confirming a “Big Bang” announcement for the 12th of October, Sony is now coming out and saying that nothing is going to be announced on the 12th? Do you think the announcement has been delayed due to technical difficulties, or does that excuse not cut it this time?  Am I also the only one who is just slightly confused …
