When I stood up to review Fighters Uncaged I knew what I was getting into, I had heard the rumours about how the game is a bit repetitive, had a huge training routine and was also not very good at capturing your movement. Generally I don’t like knowing this sort of thing about a game before a review but in …

Microsoft is treating the Kinect not as an extra peripheral you can add onto your Xbox 360 but as an entirely new console launch and way to play gaming; something they anticipate will keep the 360 moving for at least another couple of years. Do they have a winner on their hands or is the Kinect going to be the …

November is a big month for electronic device sales in the Us. Thanks to Black Friday – the day after thanksgiving and the traditional start of Christmas shopping – and its many incredible deals, high-priced items like consoles have a tendency to fly off shelves.

In fact he’s on the top of my “People I’d like to have lunch with” list followed closely by George Lucas and then maybe Cliffy B. Although I have a feeling Cliffy B would rather have a couple of beers than lunch. Say what …

MIT has always been that geek dreamland to me where you appear to be allowed to pretty much do whatever you want as long as it’s new and involves IT somehow.
