PS3 And Xbox360 Rumors

Posted by Geezer as Games, Gaming, Hardware, Microsoft, PlayStation 3, Sony, XBox 360

They say that Hollywood is the place where rumors are born and thrive. They say that there are no secrets in Hollywood. But if you were to ask me, I would go as far as to say that in the world of consumer technology, rumors are just as rife. Rumors about games, phones, gaming consoles – practically everything that’s hot – are born every day and spread through the Internet like wild fire. Take for example the latest dish on the two arch rivals – the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox360. These two gaming consoles have been the focus of countless rumors ever since their inception. This ...

The case of too many D’s… it may kill X

Posted by Jim as Tech News, XBox 360

Whoever said that technology is too fast to control has hit it bulls-eye once again. I was strolling in a mall, brought my trusty 80GB iPod with me and tuned in to TWIT's Leo Laporte saying "HD-DVD is now DEAD". That's too many D's to control I know! The death blow may well be Walmart saying they will now officially just sell Blu-Ray DVDs, BUT won't push for it, would still continue to sell HD-DVD formatted way back the aisle. I was a bit relieved that I didn't include an HD-DVD player in my Christmas list! I could just imagine my frustration to find out that that player dead technology a month later. Crossing my mind is Tom Hanks' "Green Mile" liner... "dead ...

Gears of War 2

Posted by Jaren as Games, XBox 360

Microsoft made it official at GDC: Gears of War 2 is coming exclusively to Xbox 360 this November. This post from Wired that Gears of War 2 is coming this November 2008. Naturally, this got me excited as I loved Gears of war, and having found out that Gears of War storyline is kinda short as I keep on asking for more, anyways my wish has come true and is coming this November. Although I haven't looked in the details of the game, but if it's the continuing saga of the previous one. Heck I'm up for it. And I enjoyed the single player/co-op mode of the first one. I'm definitely ...

Mass Effect And Branched Storytelling

Posted by Mr Butterscotch as Gaming Features, XBox 360

One of the best things about games is being able to play exactly how you want to. Where do you want to go? Why do you want to do it? How do you want to play the character? It also asks some interesting things like ‘Are you the character?’ and ‘Why do you play in that way?’. I’ll ask some of these questions in this article when exploring the world of Mass Effect for the Xbox 360. For those of you who don’t know, Mass Effect is a single player role-playing game that came out in November 2007. It’s sci-fi based, with various alien worlds and life forms to interact with. Your character, ...

This Year’s Sequelitis

Posted by Mr Butterscotch as Gaming Features, PlayStation 3, XBox 360

Gaming is well known for its sequels; in fact one could very easily argue that it’s the glue that binds the industry together. What do you mean, I hear you ask? Well, simply put, for as long as games have been about, there’s been a sequel to the last big hit (hell, there’s even been sequels to games that haven’t been hits). 2008 is of course no exception to the rule – you could say, why break the habit of a lifetime? Pacman after all had Ms Pacman to follow. This probably makes me sound quite bitter, but I’m not. Some of my favourite games historically (including Super Metroid, Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Forza Motorsport ...

Bungie Leaving Microsoft

Posted by Jaren as Games, Gaming, Microsoft, PC, Random Thoughts, XBox 360

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, ...
