Gears problems after update – LAG….

By Gavin Mannion
April 12, 2007 - 18 years ago

Over at Xbox360FanBoy.com they are talking about the problem of wall sticking that was meant to be fixed after the latest update… Personally all the walls have always stuck to me so I haven’t noticed any changes. What I did notice though whilst reading the comments is that a lot of people seem to be experiencing lag problems since the patch. I was playing last …

Your PS3 can make you money

By Gavin Mannion
April 12, 2007 - 18 years ago

What a fantastic idea…. Following on from the Folding @Home project on the PS3 it now looks like Sony are in discussions with a few companies who also want to use your untapped PS3 power to solve their problems. What’s better about this though is that these companies are going to possibly rent your machine from you. So whenever you …

Guitar Hero 2 DLC to expensive

By Gavin Mannion
April 12, 2007 - 18 years ago

So it looks like Red Octane and Microsoft have made a costly mistake in their pricing of the downloadable content for Guitar Hero II.  The first updates hit XBLA yesterday and are priced at 500 points for 3 songs. That works out to be about R15 per song. Not only that but there are 3 different sets of DLC’s so if …

Gears of War Annex doesn't give up achievements

By Gavin Mannion
April 11, 2007 - 18 years ago

So the question that has been on all your lips has now been answered… Annex kills do not count towards any kills achievements in GOW. What that wasn’t the question that was on your lips? Oh well now you know anyway. This was obviously done to stop everyone getting all the achievements easily and kind of makes sense, personally I am never …

So after the launch hype has now died down and everyone has gotten over that 82% drop in sales it is now time to take another look at how the PS3 sales are doing. Well in SA they seem to still be doing well as most of the stores I have been to have been sold out or have only a …

April 11, 2007 - 18 years ago

So there have been a spate of PS3 screenshots vs Xbox 360 screen shots over the past few months but now we can compare PS3 vs Real life and the results are truly amazing. It is one large image so you have to check it after the jump but the only problems I have are that they have not taken …

April 11, 2007 - 18 years ago

So the new content for Rainbow 6 is going to be available next Thursday or the 18th as they seem to have gotten confused with their calendar. I for one am looking forward to this and as I still can’t decide whether I prefer playing Rainbow 6 multiplayer or Gears. Generally I just play both 🙂 However they have not …

April 11, 2007 - 18 years ago

 So with all the previous reports stating that the PS3 was a nightmare to develop for it looks like things might be changing. The guys who are making LittleBigPlanet have come out and said that it is a great machine to code for. We had soft body physics and things like that running early on because we got lots of …
