It was just the other day that I was saying how good the Max Payne movie was looking. Now the producer of the Max Payne movie, Scott Faye, has said that he is working on a Duke Nukem movie with Scott Miller, CEO of 3D Realms. I guess if anybody was going to make it, Scott Faye would be the …

  I’ll willing to bet that anybody who reads this will either have experienced an Xbox issue or will know somebody who has. Be it a drive failure or red rings, most people will at one stage have had to exchange their 360’s. I am on my 5th Xbox so dealing with MI Digital has become almost second nature to …

By Philip Dunkley Oh how I love having new games to play, it’s been too long a drought, and all of a sudden, games are rolling through the door left right and centre, and it’s fantastic to be back. EA are having there busiest time of the year at the moment, with a plethora of titles being launched, especially on …

Shock, Shock, Horror, Horror, we have a story to prove that shows that Microsoft apparently knew about the defects in the Xbox 360 before its launch. While it may come as a surprise to many, it doesn't sound too crazy to think that MS would do something like this. According to reports on 1UP a report from VentureBeat's Dean Takahashi, who is the author of books such as Opening the Xbox and The Xbox 360 Uncloaked , has said that Microsoft knew about the issues the Xbox 360 was having before launch but refused to delay the release further in order to beat their competitors to the market. It looks as if the major issue came from Microsoft not only rushing the design process to get the console out first but also from the fact that once the major design was locked down, they continued to try and cram in a ton of last minute ideas, essentially making the console more and more fragile. President of Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices division, Robbie Bach thinks that being first out the door was still a good idea in the long run, saying that: "If you take the question of whether it was the right thing to try to be first, the answer to that is definitely yes," "It has given us a leg up in a number of places that are super important. It has given us a leg up with game developers. It has given us a leg up from an economics perspective. It helped us expand Xbox Live quickly. At a strategy level, if you asked if we wanted to be first again, I would say yes. It's easy for me to go back and say, if I knew what would transpire over the next two years, would I go back and do something different, I think that's an obvious answer. But the fact is, based on the data we had at the time and all the hard work we put into it, there was no way to see what actually happened." As you all know it has cost Microsoft over a billion US dollars to extend warranties for the RROD issues that many have experienced with their consoles, so Mr. Bach must really think that it was well worth it to have their console out first. Although he does admit that they would have done things differently had they known all that they know now. Good for you, Microsoft. I am glad that your business is doing well but what about all the people that have experienced tons of issues and inconveniences due to your wonderful decision.

Let me start off by saying that I fully support adult games, there should be a rating ‘R’ for games that include explicit sex and I am in no way offended by nudity… especially female nudity.. However that being said I do wonder if the latest Wii game, Captain Rainbow, is just taking things a little too far in regards …

I don't know what's up with all these developer diaries but I am glad to see more about Dead Space. This game has definitely had a boost by the fact that Resident Evil 5 has been confirmed to only be a 2009 release and also that Silent Hill: Home Coming is receiving little to no attention at all. I have had my fill of scary games lately but this is unfortunately looking really good so I might have to go and buy some more diapers. The zero gravity elements look like they can make or break this game, so they had better get it right. Dead Space will be available on October 27 for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

By Philip Dunkley So EA released their new Freestyle brand with the launch of this title, Facebreaker. I really hope that this is not the direction of the series, because if it is, they are in for a torrid time. I can understand companies releasing titles towards the end of the year to cash in on the mid-year slump, but …

Ever heard of Gamestop? If you haven't, it's a large chain of gaming stores in the U.S that make our little shops look pretty silly. They have amazing libraries of games for all the current consoles and a whole bunch of other shiny stuff too. It's all very pretty to look at, but what about the skullduggery that goes on behind the scenes. Well, an ex-Gamestop employee only known as "WhistleBlowerZero" has had enough with the stores and has decided to put up a series of video on YouTube telling the truth about all of the terrible things that the store does and how we people should rather shop elsewhere. To make things even more strange/interesting, he has done all of it in the same style as Yahtzee's Zero Punctuation reviews. While he doesn't pull it off quite as well as the crazy Brit living in Australia, not to mention the fact that I can't understand half the things he is actually saying, they are both semi-entertaining and informative to say the least. It is getting seriously intriguing to see how the internet is empowering the "little guy" to stand up to the larger companies these days. This was just one disgruntled employee making a stupid video and I tell you, GameStop can't be very happy about it. I can't wait to see the absolute BS that they release when they have finished getting some amazing marketing suit to write their official statement.
