Nintendo Wii Can’t Compete With PS3, Xbox 360

By Gavin Mannion
April 16, 2007 - 18 years ago

Yet another developer (Yasuhiro Wada, creator of Harvest Moon) has come out and voiced his opinion that the Wii is not in the same league as the PS3 or Xbox 360. I am not sure if anyone still believes it is though personally. Nintendo where very clever in this generation and plotted their own course forward. They are currently outselling both …

Guitar Hero II Patch… of DEATH?

By Gavin Mannion
April 16, 2007 - 18 years ago

Red Octane seem to be making a complete hash of their release of Guitar Hero II on the Xbox 360.  Firstly there was the reported defective whammy bar on certain models of the guitars, which has not been 100% confirmed by them yet. Then we had some reports of the controllers not working at all. Completely non-responsive. Now Red Octane has released a …

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

April 13, 2007 - 18 years ago

The latest Harry Potter game is on it’s way to all the consoles and I do mean all. Harry is going to be casting his spells on the Wii, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, GameBoy Advance, PC, PSP, PS2 and PS3… Shame it seems like the original Xbox is the only one not getting any Hogwarts this time. By the sound of it though if you …

EBay – Wii and PS3 sales down, Xbox 360 up – April 07

By Gavin Mannion
April 13, 2007 - 18 years ago

Well according to the latest sales data released by EBay sales of the Wii and PS3 are down and the Xbox 360 is on the rise. It is obviously no suprise the PS3 is down since it is now available world wide, but the Wii and 360 are suprising. I would hazard a guess that the 360 sales are up …

Burnout 5 details

By Gavin Mannion
April 13, 2007 - 18 years ago

The Criterion team have been having a chat about Burnout 5 which will be coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360 one day… They seem to be giving the PS3 version a bit more loving so hopefully it will utilise the power of the PS3 completely when it is released.  The Criterion team said that the PS3 version will have 1080p, and the SIXAXIS …

Halo 3 and ShadowRun to win the war?

By Gavin Mannion
April 13, 2007 - 18 years ago

Rob Enderle has written a very interesting article for digitaltrends.com where he speaks about the possibility of Halo 3 and ShadowRun being the big difference between the Xbox 360 and the PS3 in this generation. Whilst I am not with him entirely on those two I do find some of his other points very interesting… On Nintendo Nintendo is playing to the beat …

So after my disappointment with BBR I was very happy to see this morning that the original Prince of Persia seems to be on it’s way to XBLA. This title was spotted on the German ratings board USK, This is one of my favourite classics and hopefully when it hits XBLA it will be as good as it always was and at …

Being the diligent gaming reporter that I am I went straight home yesterday and downloaded the trial version of BBR (Boom Boom Rocket). Yeah trial version because I’m cheap 🙂 Anyway in the trial version (80Mb) you can only play 1 song and only on hard… I presume they make it hard so that you will buy the game to get …

Generally I don’t write about the handheld consoles but when I saw this advert this morning I couldn’t resist.. If you can’t read the small writing on the right it says “The second best thing to do in the dark”… Nice to see he has his priorities right 🙂

Someone hasn’t been reading the memo’s in the office. David Jaffe the creator of the hugely successful God of War series was asked what he would have changed about the PlayStation3. When asked what he would change about the PlayStation 3, he responded, “I probably would have taken the Blu-ray out and sold it for less money.” Of course, hindsight …

I wasn’t really sure what they could add to geometry wars but then CVG mentioned co-op… now that would be fun.. I have no chance of getting far in this game without help so bring it on…  Link to News: Bizarre …

Do you have a noisy, defective PS3?

By Gavin Mannion
April 12, 2007 - 18 years ago

So it looks like even Sony are not exempt from hardware glitches… It seems like if you have a PS3 with a serial number of either CE133190xxx or CE133212xxx then you may be out of luck. There are reports coming out of the woodwork that these units begin to emit a loud whining noise that makes it virtually impossible to …
