Blu-Ray get's hammered again

By Gavin Mannion
September 29, 2008

Don Reisinger over at CNET has published an article completely lambasting Blu-Ray and its future… What seems to have triggered this off is the fact that Blu-Ray actually lost market share last week and is now sitting at a utterly under whelming 8% of the market. However the news gets worse for Blu-Ray after that as a recent study has …

Xbox Live Downtime Reminder – 28 September

By Nick De Bruyne

Just a reminder to any users of Xbox Live that the service will be down from 10am to 10pm today. So if you get home and fail to log on, don't get angry and don't throw your router out the window because it's just Microsoft is performing some maintenance. You may remember that last week we reported that Xbox Live would be down and that it will only be down for maintenance and preparations for the new dashboard, so don't think that you will be creating any avatars anytime soon. I know that tomorrow will be tough for some but don't worry, you'll be ok. Whip out all of those single player games that you always promised to finish and get the job done. Look on the brightside, you will probably be able to rack up a decent amount of achievements. I know it's a long shot, but you could maybe even try going outside a bit. I know it's a strange concept to most of you but apparently it's not so bad. I wouldn't know, I've never tried it.

Test Drive The New Xbox Dashboard Experience

nxe.jpg If you haven't visited Xbox.com recently, you wouldn't have noticed that a few changes have taken place. Microsoft have now added the ability to try out the new Xbox Dashboard Experience within their website by simulating the interface using flash. It does a pretty decent job of showing you how its going to work on a basic level but we are going to have wait for it's release before we get to fiddle around with all of the functions. Seeing that we don't really get to choose whether or not we want to switch to the new interface, we can at least start warming up to the idea. I personally think that the new dashboard is looking fantastic compared to the current one and the avatars aren't looking bad at all. Throw in the party system and 8 player conference chat and I am pretty much completely sold.

Fable 1 vs Fable 2 – Video Comparison

By Nick De Bruyne

2

When I think back to my time spent in the original Fable, I really am left with nothing but fond memories. While the original game does bring back good memories, all of my brains functions are now focused on being excited for Fable 2 and all of the new and wonderful things that it is promising to deliver. Whether or not it does actually deliver is yet to be seen but what we can do for now is take a look at this video comparison from gametrailers. In this comparison we get a good look at just how big the difference between the original and the sequel is. While the sequel is looking absolutely gorgeous, what really amazes me is that the first game still looks so decent, even when put next to its HD, Next-Gen brother.

Get yourself your morning coffee, sit back, relax and enjoy 16 minutes of Resistance 2 Gameplay… Then please tell me that I am not the only one who sh*t himself when that thing just materialised in the forest… Is it just me or does Resistance 2 look very haloesque? Last Updated: September 29, 2008

Little Big Penis. Sigh.

Humans are slowly starting to prove that time and again, no matter what creation tools are given to us, we will, without a doubt, create something penis shaped with them. Last week saw the first beta keys for LBP make their way out into the world, which means that some of those filthy humans have been hard at work to create something naughty to giggle about. Obviously, this video features a penis shaped structure and really, I am starting to get quite tired of these lame gamers making stupid creations such as these. Spore was absolutely inundated with penis shaped creations as well, proving once again that the human race in general has some moronic level of immaturity amongst the lot of us. With all of these creative tools coming out, especially when they are looking as fun and interesting as LBP, you would think that we would see amazing creations and the artistic expressions of gamers minds. Unfortunately, it seems that the only thing on a lot of gamers minds at the moment are naughty people parts. Grow up people.

It’s strange, this year there isn’t a must have title that I can put my finger on… granted we have a pile of titles which are all looking absolutely fantastic but right now the only one that is standing tall above all others (for me) is Gears of War 2. However Mirror’s Edge is right up there with the rest …
