High Voltage Software, the developers of the The Conduit for the Nintendo Wii have been going on for a while now about how the Wii is capable of graphics that are on par with the Xbox 360. They have now released a video showing off the technical capabilities of the game and indeed the Wii. I am sorry, but I am just not sold in any way. While the game looks quite cool and the graphics are relatively impressive, it still feels like nothing more than an impressive Gamecube title at best. If an Xbox 360 game was released with the same graphics as The Conduit it would be torn to shreds in an instant. Good for them for pushing the abilities of the Wii but please, don't make bold statements that just aren't true.

The MTV Multiplayer blog posted up a comment from Bethesda's Pete Hines that shows that they are most definitely not against the idea of a movie adaptation, as long as the right person is on the job. In his comment he plays with the idea of having someone like Quentin Tarantino take on the project. They report on the following comment: “You know, if we f— this game up, nobody’s gonna want to touch us with a ten foot pole. [Our attitude is] we’re a game company, let’s make the best game we can make and all that other stuff can sort its self out once we’re doing our job. Our job is not to try and make a thing that would make a great movie, we have to make a great game. If somebody says ‘we wanna do this, this is the guy who’s gonna direct it,’ then yeah! [laughs] If Quentin Tarantino wants to do ‘Fallout 3,’ yes, we will hear that proposal! [laughs harder] If Ridley Scott wants to do ‘Fallout 3,’ we will have that lunch!” – “Fallout 3″ product manager Pete Hines on whether Bethesda Softworks would be open to the idea of a movie based on their new game. What do you guys think? Does a Fallout movie sound like a plan? Heck, if Tarantino does jump at this it would most definitely peak my interest.

The first verdict for EA’s impressive survival horror game is in – and the score will keep fans excited. The latest Box World 360 mag, on shelves today, awards the survival horror game 91%, claiming that Resident Evil developer Capcom should take note, “Because EA can teach them a thing or three about survival horror.” They even likened the games …

Back in January we started a semi-regular feature looking at how many million selling games each console had. In the previous generation the PS2 was clearly the winner with over 198 titles shipping over a million units. However this generation is starting a little differently.. Last Updated: October 3, 2008

One of the biggest complaints currently levelled at Nintendo is that they are ignoring their history and traditional gamers. Where is the next Legend of Zelda?  Well according to Reggie Fils-Aime it is just around the corner but he doesn’t want to spoil any future announcements so for now we must just wait. However it’s more than just Zelda that …

Gameplayer has put together an interesting article discussing the differences in sample code and review data from a media perspective over the last year. To be honest I found the article to be a little condescending and laced with the arrogance that unfortunately plagues this industry… however he has a point and I have been seeing it as well. From …

Gears of War 2 is going to be including an entire new set of horrible enemies that are hell bent on dismembering and destroying us. This new video from Epic goes into more detail about some of the new locust "baddies" and looks set to impress in a big way. While most of the are looking seriously vicious to say the least ( a Boomer with a big machete for instance), the real star in this video is the new big badass, Skourge. While this ticked off bloke looks incredibly similar to a Predator, he looks quite intent on doing some serious damage. Throw in the fact that he wields a double-sided chainsaw staff and you can see that he is set to scare the pants off of just about anyone that has to face him. In short, he looks like the kind of guy that General Raam would have referred to as "Sir". Come closer November, pretty please.

Now that there are some concrete details about the Nintendo DSi, Joystiq has made a very nice little hardware comparison chart comparing the DSi to the PSP-3000 and Apple’s “gaming handheld” the iPhone/iPod Touch. Last Updated: October 2, 2008
