E3 – Completely Underwhelming

By Gavin Mannion
July 16, 2007 - 19 years ago

So the new styled mini-E3 has come and gone and left very little in it’s wake. Compared to previous years this E3 was exceptionally underwhelming. With the only excitement coming from Sony’s price cut which ended up being a stock clearance sale instead. We didn’t see any of the big name games (apart from Killzone 2), there where no great …

Gamepro has a nice little article giving us some insight into the Halo 3 single player game… To summarise we are going to start off in a jungle setting where the leaves and branches move when things run past them, the grunts are split into 3 categories and will co-ordinate attacks against you.

By Gavin Mannion
July 16, 2007 - 19 years ago

Oh dear it looks like something has gone horribly wrong with a batch of 360’s in Australia. EB Games has issued a total recall of all (premium) 360 units still in storage and they are expecting a new batch to arrive on Wednesday.

By Gavin Mannion
July 14, 2007 - 19 years ago

The Xbox 360 rumours will not die. After everyones dissapointment of not receiving one at E3 it is now being reported that we are going to get one on the 1st of August. According to a Canadian retailer there is going to be a $100 price cut on every model and the core is going to get a memory card bundled in. This would mean the 360 would then …

July 14, 2007 - 19 years ago

Yeah deep down inside you knew this would be the case but you just didn’t want to admit it. Well the no nonsense Mark Rein and Cliffy B have come out and stated, that the new campaign levels and multiplayer levels in the PC reason will not see the light of day on the 360… Sad isn’t it… So will this make …

Update on Xbox 360 design failures

By Gavin Mannion
July 14, 2007 - 19 years ago

So it looks like my previous report on all the 360’s manufactured having a design issue seems to have hit a nerve. A large majority of people have claimed that I am just making things up and not reading the source properly, there was a great chance of that happening as it was just a quick article that I sent …

Peter Dille: Xbox 360 Not Sustainable

By Gavin Mannion
July 13, 2007 - 19 years ago

So it seem the minor success that Sony endured because of E3 has completely gone to their head. The new vice president of marketing has given an interview to Gamasutra and the corporate arrogance is as strong as ever. With the Xbox 360 you’ve got an inconsistent design, some have a hard drive, some don’t, and none of them have …

MSNBC has a report today about how HD-DVD is winning the battle in Europe. The obviously unbiased HD DVD promotional group has stated that they have 74% of the market share in the major European markets for stand alone players. The last part is what really gives it away though, they have not taken into consideration any PS3 sales and …

Sony not really cutting the price in the US

By Gavin Mannion
July 13, 2007 - 19 years ago

So it looks like Sony has not learnt their lesson at all. Not days after finally announcing a price cut and getting everyones hopes up that Sony are finally listening to the consumers it has come out that they in fact have not. According to SCEE president David Reeves all that Sony America are doing is getting rid of excess …

Not Good, it is being reported that Robbie Bach admitted to the media in a conference call that all Xbox 360’s have a design fault which may cause them to fail. That would be every single one of them, so that little white box in your lounge that hasn’t given you a day of trouble is really just a ticking …

DiRT better on the PS3 – Codemasters

By Gavin Mannion
July 13, 2007 - 19 years ago

The developers from Codemasters have given a very frank interview about the upcoming release of DiRT on the PS3. They claim the PS3 version is much better than either the Xbox 360 or PC version. It has better graphics and sound and generally plays better. Personally he sounds a little bit like a fanboy but maybe that is just me. …
