Sony reveals PlayStation Move

Posted by Ade as Gaming Features

I have to admit, my mind is officially blown. Sony finally revealed its new PlayStation 3 motion controller at GDC 2010 in San Francisco, and boy is it looking good.

Dubbed the Playstation Move, the advanced motion controls on this baby makes it supposedly more accurate than that other motion controller from that little-known console from Nintendo (maybe you've heard of it, it's called the Wii?). You can operate the controls via action buttons and an analog trigger, with the typical shock and rumble treatment from the controller itself. You can even use the PlayStation Eye camera for 3D simulation, basically putting you in the game.

Steam finally coming to Macs in April

Posted by Ade as Gaming Features

I'm really agnostic in this whole Mac vs. PC thing here - I use (and love) a Windows 7 workhorse, but at the same time I'm seriously considering getting a Mac for my next computer.

Of course the biggest card PC users throw at Macs would be the "Macs can't be used for gaming" card. In fact, people have been making jokes about the Mac's apparent lack of gaming capabilites over and over again.

But it looks like the games can now consider ...

Use your Nokia N900 to play SNES games

Posted by Ade as Gaming, Gaming Features, Nintendo, Old School

Okay, sure, old-school gaming emulators are a dime a dozen. You can easily download one off the net for a small price - or if your Google-fu is strong, free - and you can just download the ROMS of the games that you legally (heh) purchased back in the console's heyday, and play away! I actually have quite a few installed on my computer and a NES and GBA emulator on my Nokia E63 as well. So what's the big deal about playing SNES games on the Nokia N900?

Well, I don't think any other cellphone can allow you to play SNES games through a PS3 SixAxis controller. And if ...

The Acer Predator Aspire G Is Flaming HOT

Posted by Geezer as Computers, Desktops, Gaming, Gaming Features

Acer had never been one of my favorite brands of computers but this new release has caught my attention. Their latest gaming computer is dubbed the Acer Predator Aspire G, and it really is something else. At first glance, you might not be that impressed.

Inside the tough casing, the hardware is the perfect set up for the ultimate gaming machine. These are the specifications, as is published in The Akihabara News: For their flagship model, the ASG7710-A41, ...

We Love Golf! Review – Nintendo Wii

Posted by Mr Butterscotch as Gaming Features

Format: Nintendo Wii Price: £39.99 (or around $50) Available: Now If you’ve played Wii Sports, you might have found (as I did) that Wii Golf is one of the best little minigames to play.
