By Gavin Mannion
March 16, 2007 - 19 years ago

 Man the Ozzies have all the luck, not only do they already have the Wii, Nintendo has just released Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (At least we have that on Live!) and Ice Climber onto it’s virtual console. Ice Climber is an all time favourite retro game for me, I used to play that co-op for hours when I was still …

March 16, 2007 - 19 years ago

So has Bungie leaked some official Halo 3 box art or has some fanboy just gone to far :)… The Master Chief helmet/Storage box is real though, limited edition and all that but it does look cool. However I don’t think it will fit in my DVD rack so well….. There are also internet rumourings of a September 2007 release …

March 16, 2007 - 19 years ago

This just in… well a week old but you get the idea 🙂 It looks like Nu Metro has received the licence to import the Nintendo Wii into South Africa.

So in the interests of whining about the Australians getting a better deal that us on the Xbox 360. I have contacted Microsoft South Africa asking why we have not received this deal and will we be getting it anytime soon? I have also asked them to confirm Zephyr (Yeah like that’s going to happen) but you never know they …

By Gavin Mannion
March 15, 2007 - 19 years ago

 The New York times this week has published an article predicting the doom of the HD DVD. Blu-Ray has outsold HD DVD for the first two months of this year and more and more people are now saying that Blu-Ray is going to win… Personally I don’t care who wins as long as someone does, either way though there are …

Bluetooth connection issue arises with Sixaxis

By Gavin Mannion
March 15, 2007 - 19 years ago

 Over at the NEOGAF forums there has been a surge in users complaining about their Sixaxis losing it’s connection with the PS3 for +- 3 seconds before reconnecting… It does not seem to be related to battery charge or any other environmental cause. Losing your controller for 3 seconds in the middle of say Resistance could be extremely annoying… Sony …

By Gavin Mannion
March 15, 2007 - 19 years ago

 So news has leaked out that Game (UK) has only managed to get 2/3’s of it’s PS3 stock reserved for preorder. One again it is the high cost of the unit which is keeping people away. I however would be very suprised if it was possible to walk into any store in the UK and pick up a PS3 on …

So in an effort to get as much South African gaming news on this site I contacted koldFUSiON from www.txl.co.za and asked for an update on the Gears of War World Domination tournament…. The competition is broken into two phases. The Shuffle phase and the true team based phase. There has been some misplaced negativity from NAG recently about the …

I just finished watching a new video for the upcoming Army of Two game on the Xbox 360. I have no idea why this game is not getting much media attention as it really does look like an awesome game.

IGN: Harrison Talks Backward-compatibility

By Gavin Mannion
March 14, 2007 - 19 years ago

 And here is the answer to my previous posting… The current 1.5 version does not have all the BC patches loaded which is why it failed so badly in the test run earlier… Phil is promising up to 1200 titles playable on Launch… BUT what about the people who don’t connect their machines to the PlayStation network? Tough seems to …
