Can Ace Combat 6 Save Xbox 360 in Japan?

By Gavin Mannion
September 7, 2007 - 18 years ago

I doubt it, not that the 360 needs saving in Japan. It is not doing well but there is enough of a war chest behind it to make sure it is always there. However Ace Combat is likely to shift a whole pile of consoles since Microsoft paid out to get the Capcom exclusivity. Most of the world is ignoring …

Does the PSN Store offer more quality than Xbox 360 Marketplace?

By Gavin Mannion
September 7, 2007 - 18 years ago

The Xbox 360 marketplace and Live combination have always been looked at as the best online offering currently. Nintendo are not really competing in the same space so it’s between the Xbox and the PS3… Well it looks like the PS3 might have snuck past the 360 without anyone noticing, while its online functionality is still in its infancy when …

TimeShift commercial looking for attention?

By Gavin Mannion
September 6, 2007 - 18 years ago

I am in two minds about this commercial. I just have the sneaking feeling they are looking for mass media attention to publicise their game. Generally when companies do that it means the game is just not very good…. The commercial is not bad but I think they may have overstepped the mark… I know at least one high profile lawyer who is …

PS3 Update 1.92 did nothing… seriously

By Gavin Mannion
September 6, 2007 - 18 years ago

So you have updated your PS3 and you are now seeing that everything is just working a little bit better or are you struggling to find what exactly changed. Well if you purchased your console locally then the grand total of changes that patch did was nothing… Absolutely nothing… well that is not true it ate some of your bandwidth …

BioShock Patch Causes Massive Framerate Issues – Rumour

By Gavin Mannion
September 6, 2007 - 18 years ago

I can’t find anymore information to back this up but apparently if you accept the latest BioShock patch you will start to suffer massive framerate issues. Which will render the game virtually unplayable. To get around this they say you need to clear the cache by going into the system blade, highlighting the hard drive. Push Y for maintenance and …

Homer loves the 360

By Gavin Mannion
September 6, 2007 - 18 years ago

I for one love the Simpsons and in true Simpsons fashion they are being different and are using a different picture for each platform of their upcoming game. It really is a fantastic idea I think but already it is causing a bit of controversy. Xbox360Fanboy.com has noticed that Homer is actually only happy when he is on the cover …

Firmware update 1.92 breaks the PS3

By Gavin Mannion
September 6, 2007 - 18 years ago

Oh no Sony… It is being reported that after updating to version 1.92 a whole bunch of PS3’s can no longer connect to the PlayStation network. What makes me worry though is if you can no longer connect to the network how are you going to download the next update? This is a prime example of why I disagree with multiple smaller updates, the more often you update the …

Analysts believe 80GB to go $499 this year

By Gavin Mannion
September 5, 2007 - 18 years ago

In yet another amazing insight, analysts are expecting the 80GB PS3 to drop to $499 when the 60GB fire sale is over. I personally can’t see how they cannot drop this price as they general consumer is not going to be impressed when he sees a PS3 price increase. Hopefully though this means we may also be lucky enough to …

Motorstorm is the lucky recipient of an update… We can now walk around and call it Motorstorm two point O and sound like cool marketing people… Yeah pet hate what can I say… Anyway back to the point. The update does a few decent things like letting you use those maps you paid for online and blocking some exploits. The …

XBLA Versus PSN

By Gavin Mannion
September 5, 2007 - 18 years ago

Gamingtarget.com has put together an article investigating the quality and quantity of exclusive original downloadable content. The Wii is not counted as all of its downloadable games have been released on home consoles before… So it becomes a battle between Xbox 360 and PS3… To jog your memory do you remember Peter Dille of Sony saying Whereas our competition takes a …

Rumor: Xbox 360 Fall Update to Bring Parental Timer

By Gavin Mannion
September 5, 2007 - 18 years ago

Awesome so we are going to be getting a parental timer… well what is it? We all know about the parental controls on the Xbox 360 that give the parents the ability to not play any games over a certain rating. So if you don’t want little Johnny playing Gears of War you just set the parental rating to that level. Well stopping him playing GOW …

EGM Says Killzone 2 is dumb

By Gavin Mannion
September 5, 2007 - 18 years ago

EGM has reviewed Halo 3 and Killzone 2 side by side and have ended up not being very nice to Killzone. However I do think it is a bit unfair comparing a game that has just gone gold to a game that hasn’t even had a demo released yet. That being said however this is not the first time that …
