Yes the PS3 1.93 firmware has now been released and it is more useless than the last one… Well to us in South Africa that is. The only thing that this patch does is to fix a networking problem the previous patch broke. But if you remember correctly the 1.92 patch only applied to US and Japanese consoles and therefore would …

So the Internet has been buzzing recently about a possible 40Gb PS3 coming out with a Spiderman Blu-Ray bundle with it for only $399… To me it seems a bit like a step backwards since Sony have already phased out the 20GB and 60GB models and I couldn’t quite understand why dropping the HDD from 80 to 40 would save $100… But …

So the UK Playstation website has a release date for Home listed… It says it will be released sometime between July 2007 and September 2007… well it’s got two weeks left :).. Somehow I don’t expect it to be released in September but I have been wrong before and the rumours of Sony trying to hijack the Halo 3 launch have already been doing …

So my Call of Duty 4 finished downloading last night and I managed to get 10 minutes of gameplay in this morning before work… This game is fantastic, yeah I am lagging terribly and getting murdered by the Americans but it is still completely addictive. It looks great, it’s fast paced and the fact that you have to watch out …

The game is set in the time of the great crusades around 1191 AD in the “Holy Lands” (Israel, Palestine, Jordan) . You take the role of an assassin by the name …

So it looks like Microsoft is going to be aiming at the younger and more feminine generation in this holiday season. The Baby Blue and Pink controllers are going to be hitting the shelves on the 12th of October according to the 360 press pack.  So far no word (thankfully) on any Baby Blue or Pink consoles… As you can most probably …

When playing Gears on Monday night I witnessed quite a disturbing event. We were playing a private game and half way through a gamer called XennoX ZA joined, however he was already in the game and had been for a while. Originally I thought it was just another Gears notification glitch but it became apparent very quickly that we now had two players …

Mark Rein has come out and clarified his comments that he made yesterday about the PS3 version of Unreal Tournament being delayed. While there are no promises of the PS3 version being released before Christmas he has stated that the PS3 version will be out long before the Xbox 360 version. So sorry to all the 360 fans who were hoping to …

So after the PS3 price drop (in the US) and the Xbox 360 price drop (in the US) things are starting to settle back down to normal… so how are the weekly sales looking? Wii            114,778Xbox 360   73,419PS3            54,300 So back to normal after all. However the 360 and PS3 sales have both improved but the difference is still pretty much the …

Our local Guitar Hero nut (Carl Nienaber) has submitted a very nice preview of the upcoming Rock Band…. If you’ve been comatose for the past 6 months or so, you may not have heard of the upcoming release of Rock Band – a very exciting new music game from Harmonix and MTV Games. Well fear not, for this article will surely …

So it looks like Sony are in trouble yet again. This time through Musica…  A cartoon character in on of their latest commercials says “Get your bollocks down to musica” and “you can bleeding well sod off!”…. People complained, ASA ruled that it could be offensive and Musica has agreed not to run the advert again. Granted this was not …
