1UP gave Lair 60/100 and the Internet went nuts. They started calling 1UP fanboys and the conspiracy theorists started revving their engines… Well it seems that people were right to complain, 1UP seems to be alone in its rating of Lair, they rated it to highly. IGN gave Lair a terrible 49/100 and Gamespot gave Lair an awful 45/100… Some …

Yet another PS3 firmware update. There are two ways that you can look at this, either Sony is on the ball by constantly adding new features and improving the PS3 on virtually a monthly basis.

Now that’s true value for …

Ha and Sony thought they had cornered the market on idiotic marketing… While the above video is okay for the first minute the second minute is an entirely different story. While I can’t tell if this video was flighted on TV or not it is available on the Korean Halo 3 site which is just as bad… I don’t understand …

Well that is the only thing that could explain what is being rumoured as their next marketing move.
