Xbox 360 version of 'Madden NFL 08' sticks it to PS3

By Gavin Mannion
August 15, 2007 - 18 years ago

USAToday has reviewed the latest Madden Iteration and has overwhelmingly backed the 360 version.  PS3 owners, unfortunately, are greeted with a Madden that is sluggish in comparison. Action stutters far too often, particularly on injuries, penalties and turnovers. There’s also a half-second delay between pressing the hike button and receiving the ball in your hands. Even close-ups between play look dull …

By Gavin Mannion
August 14, 2007 - 18 years ago

After all the recent ongoing bad press about the PS3 I was starting to feel bad for it and was thinking about having a PS3 appreciation day… It seems like I may end up doing that after seeing yet another bad news story about the PS3. A local gaming blog has written an article talking about the theoretical possibility of the …

PGR 4 delayed till October 2nd or 3rd

By Gavin Mannion
August 14, 2007 - 18 years ago

Xbox Family news is reporting that the PGR4 release date has been pushed back from September the 11th to the 2nd or 3rd of October. No reasons have been given for the delay but if I where developing a game I wouldn’t want it released between BioShock and Halo 3. Yes it is a completely different genre but seriously how much …

August 14, 2007 - 18 years ago

So have you ever unplugged the video cable from your Xbox 360 and turned it on? Well if you ever do you will notice that you get 4 red lights on the front of the console. The red ring of doom problem for the Xbox 360 is very well known but what seems to be missing is the fact that …

Holiday bundles spotted

By Gavin Mannion
August 13, 2007 - 18 years ago

2 possible 360 holiday bundles have been spotted. If the picture is true you will be able to pick up either a 360 Elite or a 360 Pro bundled with Forza 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance this silly season. Personally I didn’t enjoy Marvel UA and am not the biggest fan of driving simulators so this bundle doesn’t do much for me… …

PS3's to dumb and the Wii is not powerful enough

By Gavin Mannion
August 13, 2007 - 18 years ago

Well that is the opinion of Danny somebody from Ubisoft. When asked about Splinter Cell: Conviction coming to the PS3 or the Wii he had the following to say. Nintendo’s console simply doesn’t have the graphical horsepower, and he candidly told us how the PS3 can’t handle AI nearly as well as the 360. Now I don’t think Nintendo are going …

Xbox 360 only 17% shooter games

August 13, 2007 - 18 years ago

The next time someone tells you that the Xbox 360 only has shooters send them this way to oogle at the pie chart about. As you can see FPS’s make up 11% of the 360 catalogue and TPS’s 6%… The biggest chunk by far is the sporting and Action Adventure titles.. Yes you could argue that a lot of the sporting titles are …

As the subject says the BioShock demo is now available to download straight from the marketplace. This is yet another day for me to hate Telkom, since the demo is coming in at 1.3Gb it is going to cost +-R100 to try out this free demo… Not to mention the length of time it is going to take to download this…  But if you have …
