I just received my weekly Kalahari.net email and was shocked to see the offer for this week.

Just remember these are the older consoles without HDMI ports and more susceptible to RROD. However they do …

So the NPD stats are in and the rumours were true. The PS3 managed to outsell the Xbox 360 in the US and by quite a considerable margin. The Xbox 360 also has not received a price cut in the states so there is no reason to believe that this trend is not going to continue. A few people have …

Apparently according to Wikipedia you can install Windows XP onto a PS3 and then run some of the Xbox 360 “console exclusives”. So in theory you could quite easily load up XP on …

Comments Off on Unreal Engine 4 will be console exclusive

This is good news for console games and terrible news for PC gamers. It seems that Epic has decided that PC gaming has no future and they are going to be concentrating mainly on the leading console platforms now. The Unreal Engine 3 still has a lot of life left in it but Epic have come out and stated that …
