Get Ready to Drop : Free Halo: ODST Premium Theme

By Geoffrey Tim
September 23, 2009
in :  Gaming
7

Much to my surprise, the “Get Ready to Drop” premium theme had little to do with the daily bowel movements necessitated by a protein-rich diet. It is in fact a free Halo: ODST premium theme. Free as long as you’re a paying Gold subscriber, that is. The official description reads : ODSTs aren’t the only ones getting their hands on …

Leaked SEGA/Sony Document Details PS2 and Dreamcast games for PS3

Woops! Somebody screwed up, and they screwed up BIG TIME. If a planning document that showed up on SEGA’s PR site holds any truth – and indications are that it does – then SEGA have just inadvertently let the PS3 backwards compatibility cat out of the bag. The document details all sorts of SEGA and Sony hand-holding, but the references …

NerdGasm Alert: R2-D2 Projector Houses 8 Consoles

Despite being a card-carrying member of the geek-club, I am not a Star Wars fan. That doesn’t mean that I’m a Star trek fan either; Science Fiction, in general, fails to elicit much excitement from me – with Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy being a notable exception. This custom mod by Popular Science reader Brian De Vitis may …

Is the PSP Go! Gone! before it’s out the Door?

By Geoffrey Tim
September 23, 2009
in :  Gaming
3

I’ll be the first to admit that Sony’s sleek new PSP Go! fills me with a tempering technolust that makes it even more difficult for my old, disgusting, fat PSP to fit in to my jean pockets. It seems though that the little device could be in trouble before it’s even hit retail shelves. Despite an awesome upcoming line-up- including …

That’s it, it’s all over. The latest* Japanese sales are in and the PS3 sales have fallen of a cliff with reports coming in of a 300% drop in sales in merely a week. Unsurprisingly the Sony execs are holding emergency meetings as we speak to see if there is anyway to stop the PS3 from bringing down the entire …

Have you turned on your internet connected Xbox 360 to be greeted by a System Update Screen? are you expecting new functionality when it reboots? Well don’t.

Xbox 360 Elite gets another price drop

By Gavin Mannion
September 23, 2009
in :  Gaming
3

Yes it’s true, the Xbox 360 Elite has received yet another price drop of $50 but there is a catch… or two. First up you have to live in America which pretty much excludes my entire target market and secondly it’s a time limited mail in rebate. Basically if you are currently in America and need a new Xbox 360 …

Comments Off on New Super Mario Bros gets a PAL release date

For anyone who was hoping that the Wii’s sales would drop this silly season I have some bad news for you. For the rest of you I have some great news. Nintendo have announced that their cult hit New Super Mario Bros will be released in PAL areas on the 27th of November just in time for the huge Christmas …
