I distinctly remember playing with a 2-car version of the 8-Lane Scalextric, one of the best moments of my childhood.  Yup... you guessed it... I beat my sister everytime! :)  I always thought about that toy and where it is now.  Perhaps in the attic?  Or donated to YMCA, I don't know.  But I'm sure, if that's still alive, another boy is beating his sister big time! The 8-Land Scalextric is not a game to "have" though.  It's a game to rent for parties and other events.  With it you get a race director, a PA with overhead mic, a computer controlled 8-lane toy, 8 controllers naturally, the choice of race style and ...

 This wonderful news from LikeCool.  I don't know, something in me kicks in when people talk about Pong.  Maybe because I was one of the "fortunate" few who actually stayed up real late so I can touch that Atari paddle and try a game of Pong.  And that was after a long line of 20 elementary school classmates who wanted their fair shot too.  Yeah, that was the hip thing my friend... nothing like being there when everything was in their baby stages.This Pong table, boy is something to look out for.  Designed by Moritz Waldemeyer, aiming to re-create that feeling way back 70's when it was a real worldwide hit.  This tabletop has ...

Golf is not just a game. Business deals are often made over a few rounds between associates and business partners. Friendships are strengthened. So basically golf is a social network--though not the usual online social network one would imagine. Web app developers have been finding interesting ways to combine the power of social networking and the niche interests of Web users. And in terms of golf, Skill Technology has developed Gimme Golf, where users can compete with other online users, with the possibility of playing tourney (and winning prizes!). The grass just got a lot greener for casual gamers. Gimme Golf, a new online golf game from Skill Technology, allows players to connect with friends and ...

  For a month, this was what's bringing me back to the desk before I actually do the long zzzzz.  Sniper Elite offers a lengthy single-player game full of nerve-wrecking episodes but still with the oh soooo cool rewarding moments. Gameplay on my first five tries were difficult, but after I got the controls bagged it became easy to do things, the winning moves, the carnage! :)  It will take around 30-minutes to get used to the controls and starting at the rookie level is a must for a lengthier practice kill.  What I just didn't like was how the mouse was so quick (sometimes too quick) for comfort. Graphics was awesome, detailed but not too distracting, focused yet ...

Recently, Sony has courted controversy (to a certain degree) due to featuring Manchester Cathedral in a violent video game - the fairly well received Resistance: Fall of Man. Sony's Playstation game uses the historic church as a scene in which violent gunplay takes place. Originally, spokespeople for the church asked for the game to be withdrawn from sale - Sony however did not accept this request, but it did apologise for using the graphics within the game. The Very Reverend Rogers Govender had the following to say regarding the use of Manchester Cathedral: "We do forgive Sony for what they have done, even though they still believe they have done nothing wrong. In an industry that is breaking new frontiers, it ...

There's been rumors flying around, that Bungie makers of the Game Halo, is leaving Microsoft and is going to set out, to stake a claim in the gaming world to become independent company. An issued press release from Microsoft states that Bungie is about to to "embark on a path to become an independent company." Bungie, a company owned by Microsoft has been making loads of money and with the recent success of Halo 3, in my opinion they're well-equipped to be independent, Good for us gamers, we should expect the same kind of commitment and focus on the Xbox Platform and as well as opening up to other gaming platforms too. As Harold Ryan, studio head for Bungie said, ...
