By Gavin Mannion
March 22, 2007 - 19 years ago

So USA Today has written an article talking about the PS3 vs the Wii in sales. While the PS3 got off to a slow start and at one stage was outsold 3(Wii):1 in the States it has now clawed back some ground to a more please 2:1. They expect the PS3 and Xbox 360 each to sell 10 million this …

Yet another PS3 TV ad that makes no sense

March 22, 2007 - 19 years ago

I have been told that I just don’t understand the PS3 adverts and that they are really very good. ? No they are not. Yes I see the different gameplay in each person in the ad and I see that they are trying to get across that PS3 is like really living. But I think it’s stupid. I have a …

By Gavin Mannion
March 21, 2007 - 19 years ago

Goldman Sachs analyst Yuji Fujimori (Say that 10 times fast), has predicted a $100 price drop for the PS3 in October this year. Bringing the PS3 down to about R5400 which is still steep but makes it more affordable and more desirable. How are Sony going to manage a price cut? Basically just the price of parts coming down and …

Gears of War Movie…

By Gavin Mannion
March 21, 2007 - 19 years ago

New Line cinemas have announced that they have won the rights to make a Gears of War movie. So what else can you say about that? Cool. Who should play which parts? I think Samuel L Jackson would make a killer Cole and most probably Vin Diesel could be Dom…. You would obviously expect Anya to play a much larger …

DMC4 Trailer

March 21, 2007 - 19 years ago

So Gametrailer.com have been kind enough to host a Devil May Cry 4 trailer for all the Xbox fans that have never played it. Personally I am actually not very impressed, apart from the CGI cut scenes this games looks very last gen and not very interesting, however I know it appeals to a lot of people out there and …

PES6 – Scored from the Half Way Line

By Gavin Mannion
March 20, 2007 - 19 years ago

I saw over on the www.xbox-360.co.za forums that TriviumDawnwalker had posted a link showing him scoring a goal straight from the kick off in PES6. This does raise questions about the supposed better AI in PES compared to Fifa but maybe there was a divot in the ground :).. It’s just a pity he was using Chelsea and not a …

"Final Fantasy should come to Xbox 360"

By Gavin Mannion
March 20, 2007 - 19 years ago

 I think Final Fantasy on the Xbox would be the greatest gaming coup of all time… That or MGS 🙂 However with the recent glut of developers moving over to dual platform development this is not as far fetched as it sounds. Hironobu Sakaguchi, the original FF developer, has told Gamespot that he thinks Square Enix should move their franchise …

March 20, 2007 - 19 years ago

In what is turning out to be a bad week in the run up to the PAL PS3 release it has been confirmed that a few launch titles are not going to be ready in time… The worst I think will be Rainbow 6: Vegas which now has a new release date of “Spring”…. Other titles which have now slipped …
