By Gavin Mannion
July 25, 2007 - 19 years ago

The Sony Protection Group, which I still wonder if it’s a part of Sony themselves, have posted a review all about Home… Well that is how they are marketing it.. It is pretty sparse in the details and only really mentions the fact that you can decorate your apartment… customise your avator and the fact that you can move to different locations… Aren’t …

Their summary LittleBigPlanet is one of those rare examples …

Gamepro.com has an article detailing 6 reasons why the 360 is in trouble at the moment. I thought I would take a shot at responding to it… lets see how this goes. 1. It’s unreliable….

Not good news for Microsoft but InformationWeek.com is reporting that sales of the 360 are down 60% compared to the same quarter last year. That is bad news no matter how you spin it.

Ouch Kotaku.com has a scathing article about the Unreal Engine. According to a lawsuit filed by Silicon Knights Epic appears to have simply taken-in millions of dollars in license fees from Silicon Knights and other developers, and provided them in return with vastly less than the entirety of the Engine, let alone all parts of the Engine that are necessary …

Well it’s not quite a head to head but what better way to start a Friday other than watching a video about the two best looking F/TPS games around at the moment..
