I’ve been pretty vocal about how i think 3DTV is a gimmick, and offers no practical application to me as a gamer. Thanks to a pair of new patents from the clever monkeys at Sony, my interest in the tech has been piqued. Sony’s new US patents are centered around the use of the technology being used to show two …
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is coming to the Xbox 360 on August 18th, but thanks to Microsoft’s Summer of Arcade deal, they will snag exclusivity on the game for at least four weeks. I had the chance to play some co-op together with one of the game’s developers at E3 and I must admit that I was …
Vimeo user Richhhard has shot and edited a gorgeous looking video from the footage that was taken at this year’s EVO 2010 fighting game tournament. With over 2000 competitors and a huge love for the games and the tournament, it was a pretty grand affair with over 30 000 people watching from live streams on the internet as well. This …
You’ve played God of War, the gloriously violent tale of Kratos and his battle for revenge against the Olympian gods. You’ve seen those delightful indie films, of the ilk directed by people like Wes Anderson, Jason Reitman, and Matt Aselton.

While the prevalence of the ominous “Red Ring of Death†has lessened (some say to make way for the now more common e74 error), Xbox 360’s do still die. Thankfully, after acknowledging the problem, …
Recently a twitter account under the name of Oddworld’s favourite protagonist, Abe, tweeting all sorts of cryptic nonsense. While unverified, this lead many to believe that new Oddworld games might be in the works. Well, it’s no longer up for conjecture. Just Add Water, the developer of PSN’s Gravity Crash, has confirmed that it’s working on not just one, but …
This is pretty sad news really as I really thought that 1 vs 100 was a nice idea for console gaming, but unfortunately while Microsoft liked the idea the fact that only around 200 000 people played it online has meant that 1 vs 100 will not be returning to our screens anytime soon. According to a blog post on …
